I love that how Sesame Street manages to keep up with POP culture. Generally speaking it’s primary audience (young children) don’t always get it, but older kids and adults do.

Baby Jedi
Because sometimes even geeks have kids.
It looks like she has some experience with this weapon. The force is strong in her.

Super Mario A Capella
Someone just found a way to make me find A Capella very compelling.

Conversation With 12 Year Old Self
This is one of those brilliant ideas that you can’t help but ask yourself “why didn’t I think of that?”
And in today’s absolutely creepy propaganda we have some North Korean kids playing guitar. The robotic looks on their faces is terrifying. But I must say they are talented for their age. I can’t imagine what sort of effort it would take to get a child with that small fingers (and attention span) to play like that. Hard to tell if there’s any faking since you never see enough the kids close enough at the same time.

Four Handed Guitar
It’s Friday and I wanted something not serious to end the week of two Mondays (Independence day midweek made Thursday a Monday to me). I won’t spoil it, but you likely won’t guess the song based on the screenshot. The guitar playing is neat. The vocals they throw in is a bonus. For those who don’t know the song, you can find the original one here.

Call Me Maybe
The “Call Me Maybe” meme is becoming slightly old but some of the parodies are either quite good, or just outright amusing. For the unacquainted Carly Rae Jepsen did the original (the end of the video is kinda funny). A bunch of parodies followed including Justin Bieber, Selena, Ashley Tisdale, Jimmy Fallon, Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders (best looking of all the parodies), Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain guy) and Barack Obama (that took time).
I think my favorite is the above gorilla variant simply because it shows the insanity of it all.
Carmelo Anthony wins some points in my book for this little gag.
Slash performs Sweet Child O’ Mine acoustic, including the infamous solo. Your Argument is Invalid.

How To Use A Paper Towel
This is a pretty interesting presentation. The content matter while slightly silly is actually pretty informative and eye opening. I bet we all waste more paper than we realize. What really stands out is Joe Smith has amazing presentation skills. This should be shown on the first day of any public speaking class. This is pretty much the best example of solid public speaking skills. Audience engagement, entertaining, great use of language, demonstration, repetition and humor. All in perfect balance.
