Holiday Vid Picks: Robots

There are several main food groups when it comes to man-child entertainment genres. Hollywood has been slowly showcasing them one by one, giving each its own renaissance. The ninja, the pirate, the alien, and the zombie have all had a fair amount of spotlight time recently –while one, albeit major, category has been nearly dormant since Ahnold told us he would be back. Where have the robots gone? Well, with Michael Bay’s return with Transformers, perhaps this is the year of the robot. Enjoy.

Smosh – Transformers Rap

Let’s just hope they don’t make Smosh take this one down like their Pokemon parody.

Indy Mogul – Robots! Create a full-body robot costume that rocks!

The DIY guru Erik Beck and his dad over at Indy Mogul (on the NextNewNetwork) build a sweet robot for this week’s project. And next week it’s part 2, cyborgs! (no seriously, it’s gonna be sweet!)

Terminator vs. Robocop

I’m sure this has been pitched in some Hollywood office somewhere. I’m just glad YouTube is around to pick up Tinseltown’s dregs. Oh, and don’t worry, there’s already a sequel.

Honda Asimo Unseen Commercial

Asimo even looks like Humpty Dumpty, no?

Robot Dance

Now just throw in some Jamiroquai music and you’ve got Napoleon Dynobot.

Monkey vs. The Robots

When the robots eventually take over the world, let’s not forget the cute ones.

Transformers More Preview Review

As a film geek, I love the idea of endlessly dissecting a movie trailer prior to the actual film’s release. And when it comes to Michael Bay films, you usually get the whole gist of the movie in the trailer anyway.
