I think this clip will start us off in the right frame of mind for this week's random video finds.
On a lighter note, how about an iconic phrase: "Hey, good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later."
But wait, there's more. How about a bevy of classic Ronco clips. I don't know about you, but I always wanted a Record Vacuum so I could destroy my record collection.
Finally, a band gayer than the Village People: Holland's Bearforce 1. Bald chubbies unite!

In the news this month: A Russian woman has adopted 130 cats - and they swarm like salmon heading upstream. Amazing.
Get the full story here.
More video finds after the jump!
"The E in Chuck E Cheese stands for 'entertainment'". Except for when you're watching painful corporate training videos, that is.
Been watching Flight of the Conchords? It's pretty good. And for a taste of what they've been doing, here's the video for their Scopitone-style Francophile parody "Foux De Fa Fa".
Peter Max has taken over the refreshment stand, which means your Pepsi will take you down a Yellow Submarine K-hole.
Speaking of innovative animators, how about "Spook Sport", from Norman McLaren.
More of his films can be found via Videos With Bibi. 1 2 3
Ah heck, one more animation video: "Crazy Ay-rabs, beheaded infidels, insensitive Middle Eastern stereotypes, offensive Muslim cartoons, IEDs, abductions, gratuitous violence, Western imperialism, drugs, burqas, bestiality, and a makeshift Raymond Scott" From Irwin, of course.
PS - Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what movie the "Bastard" clip is from. I know, I just ain't telling (yet).

The Bastard clip would be from the same movie that teaches us that "The most beautiful thing in the world is smoking pot and fucking on a waterbed at the same time"

I am having my name legally changed to "Mr. Microphone" (maybe my first name will be "Ronco").

The "Bastard" clip is indeed from the Spanish B-horror film Pieces starring Lynda Day George. Here's another scene, watch to the end to experience the whole absurdity.
"Hey, it's my kung fu professor!"
