Cookie Monster Sings ‘Call Me Maybe’ Parody
Carly Rae Jepsen’s song “Call Me Maybe” has apparently taken over the music world for the moment. I didn’t realize this. However, this Sesame Street parody of the tune, “Share It Maybe”, in which Cookie Monster sings about his love of cookies and people who share them with him, is amusing enough to be worth 3 minutes of your time. Watch the video below. Read more »

The title of this short animated video about a toy is “Alma”, written and directed by Rodrigo Blaas. You may find it creepy; if you do, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I’ve been watching Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender via Netflix with Thing 2 for a second time; Dark Horse Comics has been publishing comics that continue the tale told on TV and we both wanted to get back into that world. Since M. Night Shyamalan’s live-action Airbender movie was so awful, I also wanted to make sure that DaddyTips readers are aware of how awesome the cartoon and comics are, despite the fact that the movie was terrible. Also of note is a new animated series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, which starts July 9th which has been on the air for awhile now but somehow I didn’t notice.

How YouTube Helped Me Get My LOTR Digital Copy
Gather ’round, gentle readers. I am here to present to you the tale of how YouTube helped me get the Digital Copy of LOTR (Lord of the Rings, ‘natch) before the codes expired.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — thank goodness that there are people with time on their hands who like to post videos to YouTube. Usually when I say that I’m referring to folks who take the time to post scenes from old TV shows online. When I’m researching articles for Snakkle, these folks are invaluable.
This time I’m grateful that a YouTuber using the handle Blucollection posted this video of his unboxing of the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Blu-Ray box set. Read more »
Real-Life Spider-Man, Sort Of

This is very cool. A backpack version of a vacuum cleaner that allows you to suction yourself up a wall.
I’m simplifying of course. Gizmodo has more details, which they got from Business Insider. If you have even less time/patience for reading than I do, it’s a military thing and was part of a competition of some kind. The video above is of the winning team. Obviously it will need to be made quieter. Still, the concept and execution is très nifty.
