Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

Just in time to help you kill the few remaining minutes of the work week, we’ve collected most of our superhilarious videos in one convenient place: youtube.com/wootchannel.

Now, instead of having to scour our blog for old videos, you can easily click from the one about Las Vegas to the one about the guy who launched the screaming monkey rocket to the one about the Superman Inflato-Suit to the complete three-part Mortimer & Monte series. Think how much time you’ll waste!

If this brand of tawdry entertainment is your bag, you might be glad to know we’ve got more movies on the way. Whenever we get a break between our regular responsibilities, we pop into the editing room for some privacy while we grunt and strain and try our best to move the next video down the pipeline. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and you’ll be among the first to know when we finally squeeze one out!

Japan's infatuation with Western pop culture and its celebrities is no secret. But the wonderfully insane level they take it to in their commercials is... well, just take a look at some of the videos we've found.

A lot of lives would've been spared across the galaxy if the Empire and the Rebels just sat down to a little canned "sea chicken". Just look at the way it brings fathers and sons together!

More after the jump!

Based on the trailer, this may be the most epic Filipino movie ever.

I've just watched the trailer for Wapakman, and based on that trailer I've become so excited that I wanted to share my brief and amateur synopsis of the film so that you can get as excited as you should be about this movie. There may be a bit lost in translation, but apparently there's this guy, and maybe he's a janitor or something. I don't know why the trailer spends so much time focusing on this because there are also molten lava monsters and a woman shooting wind or something from her breasts while singing. This guy may or may not don a superhero costume because honestly, the trailer doesn't show him in it very much, but the awesome shows up right about the time our protagonist starts kung fu fighting a crab. A. Giant. Crab. Do I have to say anything further at this point? Or are you willing to join me in petitioning the MPAA to bring this film to America! They don't even have to subtitle the thing. In fact, I'd almost prefer it that way so I can just kind of improvise the dialogue in my head. I've already got a spec script written:

EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER
"When do you think that giant crab is showing up?

GIANT CRAB
"Let's do this!"

GUY FIGHTING CRAB
"My only regret in life is that I've peaked so early!"

I don't know what a Wapak is, or what powers a Wapakman might have, but I'm calling looking at Travelocity right now to figure out what it's going to take to see this movie.

Hey, we read our own forums. So we’re well aware that most of the people who make up our community are, uh, not exactly rocket scientists. Don’t feel bad. All this science we don’t understand either. That’s one reason why we were so impressed to hear about Bdale Garbee.

This summer, Garbee stuffed eight of our bravest screaming monkeys into his huge “model” rocket before launching it into the wild blue yonder—a giant leap for monkeykind, if ever there was one. Regard:

Our old primate pals Mortimer and Monte are back in the employee lounge, debating the merits of Kids.Woot, the newest consumer fantasy island in our growing archipelago!

This video is proof that even though the Kids.Woot era is under way, there will always be room for juvenile entertainments right here at the site where we started.

This weekend our humble little online junk shop had its fifth anniversary. Five years! That’s long enough to earn a college degree, even allowing for a one-year flunk-cushion. (Come on, no one passes “Intro to Ceramics” on the first try, right?)

Traditionally, the fifth year is the “crap” anniversary. We bet you can’t wait to discover whether you’re on the list to get a bag of ours! You’re so weird that way. Well, kill three of those agonizing minutes with this short presentation from the Woot podcast team. Time flies when you’re dodging the video feces flung by our fuzzy friends Mort and Monte!
