A clip from The Creature Wasn’t Nice (1983) starring Leslie Nielsen. The movie was re-released as Naked Space in an obvious attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the Naked Gun movies. Plus it sounds like a softcore sci-fi flick that you might see on Cinemax, which is another good way to get people’s attention.

I’m guessing this video was made around 1984 since that’s when this song was most popular. It’s from the album Break Out. I really do think it’s a great song. I’ve had it stuck in my head all day. The highlight of this video is definitely when the special effects kick in at 2:30.

The Pointer Sisters – Automatic

Here’s the same song being performed on Soul Train. They seem far more enthusiastic this time around.

And here’s a cover version by Hot Leg, a side project of Justin Hawkins from The Darkness.

Jeff Foxworthy – Party All Night by smokey3769

This is from the 1996 Jeff Foxworthy album, Crank It Up. The song is awful of course. The video is noteworthy, however, for being directed by Weird Al Yankovic and featuring comedian Todd Glass and horror movie character actor Michael Berryman.

This is artwork by Tim Doyle created for the SpokeArt gallery show, Unreal Estate. He has taken locations from The Simpsons, Sesame Street, Arrested Development, King of the Hill, Seinfeld, and The Sopranos and illustrated them in a moody, realistic style.

I previously posted Tim Doyle’s Simpsons art here. I’ve updated it with a couple new ones, so go check that out if you haven’t seen them yet.

streets ahead

Streets Ahead by Ben Deguzman

Clockwise, starting from the center:

Abed/Ryu – I mean really was there any question? Particularly when the show goes into genre-mode, Abed is undoubtedly the architect or the focal point. So why isn’t Abed Dhalsim? Yeah, I realize Danny Pudi is actually of Indian heritage. But really, there was zero intention of breaking up the Abed/Troy bromance.. particularly if it perfectly mirrors the Ryu/Ken friendship. Additionally, ALL the characters in this piece, with the exception of Jeff, are playing the part of a character that is not their race or ethnicity.

Troy/Ken – Was the first one I drew. I figured if I couldn’t represent him properly, then I should not bother with the entire drawing. Luckily I was really happy with it. Why isn’t Troy Balrog or Dee-Jay? Same answer as above. Troy plays the perfect easier-going, happy Ken that plays off of the more stoic Abed/Ryu…

Pierce/Zangief – I found he was just the funniest thing on the page. I wish I found a clever way for him to do his gay gesture again. But alas, it never came to me. Why isn’t Pierce Blanka? Him turning into a green, raging monster was dealt with in the very awesome Community/Avengers mash-up.

Britta/Cammy – Admittedly, her personality doesn’t exactly line up with Cammy’s. But aesthetically, Britta is just a shoe-in for her (moreso than any of the other cast to their respective characters)

Changka – I’m going to jump right into the inevitable questions. Why isn’t Chang Fei-Long? I thought about this… but how boring would it be if I just made him shirtless and threw on some black pants. I felt it really wouldn’t graze anyone’s funny bones. Why isn’t Chang E-Honda? Because as a Filipino-American, I get slightly annoyed at how Asians are just interchangably used for other Asian ethnicities. And the idea of making a Korean man playing a Chinese man play a Japanese man really just irritated me. And in the spirit of the show, it would mean I was as insane as the Dean. Hello? Why didn’t you make him CHANGIEF!? Yeah, this might be my only regret because it sounds so dope. But really, when I drew Pierce as Zangief, I didn’t want to reverse my initial decision. Besides, Changka sounds almost as cool.

Annie/Chun-Li – Really, I felt Annie embodies Sakura more. Especially since Abed is Ryu. But I quickly realized depriving the internet world of dressing Alison Brie as Chun-Li would be a complete disservice. So… you’re welcome.

Dean-Li – Before the gag gets really old, I had to have him steal Annie’s thunder this time. (Previously had him steal Shirley’s Catwoman thunder. Then Britta’s Poison Ivy thunder.) Why isn’t Dean [Some other Street Fighter character that’s a woman]? I didn’t want to go past Street Fighter 2 Turbo Edition. So really, there were only two options.

Jeff/Guile – I felt this was kind of a no-brainer. Jeff, like Guile, is seemingly obsessed with his hair whenever there is downtime. Jeff’s pretty vain… why isn’t he Vega? With the exception of Shirley, this is more of a hero piece than a villain piece. Maybe if I was a glutton for punishment, I’ll do a Dark Timeline version of this. But don’t hold your breath for that.

Shirley/Akuma – This is actually my favorite in the whole drawing. I really really wanted to play off the ‘Big Cheddar’ persona that was introduced in the foosball episode. And what better character displays such an inherent evil than Akuma? Also, I had to pat myself on the back for the large beads leading into a big purse. I neglected that aspect of Shirley previously.
