I know this isn’t strictly movie-related, but I posted part one of Mediocre Films‘ fake shopping list sketch/prank last week, and it was kind of a hit. Watching part 2, I find my enthusiasm for the concept has not waned. It’s so simple and yet so brilliant — the guys give each other a list of fake products, and they have to see how many they can ask about before the Wal Mart clerk walks away. Frankly, I’m pissed I didn’t think of this first.

Some of my favorite fake products:

• Baby’s First Pee Set

• Sassy Señorita Cereal

• Cankle Drops

• Stove Babies

• Dr. Normal’s Condoms for One

• Safety Corn

• Pork Muffs

My favorite exchange: “Pork muffs?” “Yeah, it’s for pigs’ ears.”

"Cookies?"

When most people do DVD commentary, they generally try to give you some interesting background on whatever scene is playing — behind-the-scenes stories, the challenges of shooting something, continuity mistakes the viewer might have missed — sort of like pop-up video on VH-1. In this clip from the Total Recall commentary track, Arnold Schwarzenegger describes what’s happening on screen so literally that watching it feels like your brain is melting. Everyone commenting on it and the person who originally put it on YouTube all swear that this is the real DVD commentary and not an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator, and the only thing that keeps me from total disbelief of that is that it’s so completely absurd that it couldn’t have been imagined before it happened.

I’ll be honest, I was hoping for a lot more back-and-forth banter between the iPhone 4S’s Siri and the Furby here, but the video made me laugh anyway. Turns out, Furbys are inherently hilarious. Or maybe it’s just me. Between this, the mechanical falcon in Your Highness, and the “Wafflebot” in the new Harold and Kumar movie, it turns out my funny bone has a real weakness for sentient animatronics.
