Schoolhouse Rock Star Wars Parody

Mar 032013

There’s not much more that screams “The 70′s” than the classic Schoolhouse Rock cartoons. And though it debuted towards the end of the era, Star Wars also encapsulated the decade. Just look at those hairdos.

One Minute Galactica noticed how the two popular franchises took place so close in time, but never formally ‘met’. So they created this spot on mash up between Star Wars and the classic Schoolhouse Rock song Interjections.

The week old video currently stands with over 90,000 hits, and is featured by Neatorama, Wired, io9, and Misscellania.

The Very First Showcase Showdown On The Price Is Right In 1972

Sep 072012

The Price Is Right maybe the most beloved and exciting game show on TV. Everyone under thirty has fond memories staying home from school sick and watching TPIR. There’s just something about Bob Barker that is so soothing.

So just for fun, The Price Is Right YouTube channel just published the very first Showcase Showdown winner!

It’s amazing how so much is so similar, but also so different. The most notable being the absolute silence. There’s no cheering and rowdiness at all. Simply organized applause, as if they are Jeopardy’s audience of today. How melodramatic.
