“Every year on Christmas for 25 years, our dad would tape us coming down the stairs…”

Posted by Pete Berg on Saturday, December 25th, 2010 at 11:13 am

“Every year, our dad would tape us coming down the stairs. This is a compilation of all the videos I could find. Relatives and pets grow up and disappear, and new extended family members appear in their place.”

John Denver and the Muppets Christmas Special

Posted by Nate Brown on Friday, December 24th, 2010 at 10:41 am

No Christmas was ever complete without listening to the John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album. Thanks to some youtuber archivists, some highlights from the TV special.

Rowlf and John sing the understated and amazing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Duet”

The story of Alfie the Christmas Tree, and Kermit’s wish.

Scooter and John sing a great duet creepily in front of a live audience.

Everyone sings “Silent Night” in German in front of a captive audience of overdressed children who are now in their late 40s.

Brilliant explanation of how “queueing theory” – developed by engineers to route phone calls – can be used to find the most efficient arrangement of cashiers and check out lines.

That Lady Shaved Her Beard On Christmas

Posted by Zach Capp on Monday, December 20th, 2010 at 4:48 pm

I’ve never shared my own work on PH before, but I thought this would be fitting during the holiday season. This video is inspired by an actual 97 year old bearded woman I met in Minnesota a few weeks ago, who hasn’t shaved in 40 years. She says the beard is God’s gift to her. Also, if you like the music it’s done by a band in Vegas called NK97.

New from Don Hertzfeldt: Wisdom Teeth

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, December 17th, 2010 at 6:12 pm

New from the creator of “Rejected” — Nigel gives in to his friend’s innocent request. “Wisdom Teeth” is an unnecessary new five minute cartoon that Don drew in between more important things.

“Bagger 288!” – The most bizarre video I’ve seen all month

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, December 15th, 2010 at 1:40 pm

“This is the Bagger 288! A monstrous, titanic killing machine the likes of which the world has never seen! A horrific leviathan of unimaginable power designed with merciless destruction as its sole purpose! But it is here for the defence of mankind! It was created as our only hope of survival! We have written this lovely song to honour it in its terrible beauty.”

Canon 7D vs. Barbie Video Girl

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 at 11:30 pm

A comparison of the leading Digital SLR camera, the Camera 7D, with the Barbie Video Girl. The 7D wins of course, but the Barbie is pretty damn amazing for what it is.

“Dr. Bugs” lets a Bot Fly mature in his own hand

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 at 11:30 am

“Mark W. Moffett (a.k.a. “Doctor Bugs”) tells the horrifying yet humorous story of a parasitic larva called a botfly entering his hand during an expedition to Belize. The maggot took ten weeks to grow to “maturity,” surviving Mark’s subsequent trips to Honduras, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It finally emerged on 2 December 2010, at the end of a meeting with the environmentalist E.O. Wilson at Harvard.”

Gross. But pretty cool too.
