Where Have We Seen This Before?

Hey look! It's Beyonce's new video... It starts off with a Reservoir Dogs homage- and I use homage in the way Reservoir Dogs director Quentin Tarantino uses it- meaning they just ripped it off. (So is it actually a City of Fire reference?)

THEN, we get a glitchy shot of several Beyonces while she sings about being video taped- wait, I feel like I've seen this before... where have I seen this before?



Oh right! In our video for Mariah Carey's 'Touch my Body'!

Are we saying Beyonce ripped us off? No. Skip to 2:25 in the Beyonce video...



(Shakes fist at the sky) GAGA!

Why are you doing this to us? Everyone already give you all the surrealing points (like air-miles, but for surrealing) then you have to just start cold-clockery STEALING from us. We have nothing? Why are you doing this to us?

This is war or WaWa.

Hey! Look! Lady Gaga!

As we've said before, we're bored by Lady Gaga- however, people have chosen to ignore us as surrealist tastemakers and continue to refer to her as surreal. Whatever. Here's her new video. I can't say anything else about it, because I haven't watched it. But I'm posting it, because she's surreal right? At least according to you, and you would know right?

Great. Whatever. Hope you're happy.

Not Dead!

Just to clarify. We are not dead. We (Dan and Vince) are still around, still working at Starbucks, and still very much surreal.

Sorry for the lack of blogging, but we've been working on something big- you'll see it soon.

Dan

Hey Vince
I just typed a blog saying sorry we hadn't been blogging because we were working on a big art project
hahaha
that should keep people happy
now we just need to come up with something we could say we've been working on
since, actually, we haven't been working on anything.
Vince?
Hello?
Oh crap.
This isn't IM is it?
This is blogspot?
Meaning I'm typing all of this into a blog and not into IM?
Crap.

Us... Revealed!

We don't post many pictures of ourselves on our site- we don't NOT post pictures, we just don't post many pictures. We prefer to do our surrealling with words.

Anyway, we have Google Alerts set up to gauge public reaction to our work- and it was thanks to one such alert that we found this picture...



... entitled DanandVince-1.jpg. So there it is, and there we are.

What the Fuppet?

So duh, the Muppet Show did some weird stuff- "Mahnahmahnah" anyone? But the folks at Topless Robot recently put together a list of The Muppet Show's 10 Weirdest Moments and- damn. There will never be anything like this on TV again.

Anyway, the above skit is number 1 on the list, but don't prevent that from checking out the rest of the list...

1 blog, 0 original thoughts. Score!

More from HalfEatenDimSum...

A while ago we talked about our new favorite Australian (?) metal/dada/songwriter/filmmaker/animator/prankster/Kerry King-hating YouTube User HalfEatenDimSum... Remember? No? Well... whatever.

Anyway, we did.

And then today, we decided to check back in and see what our friend HalfEaten was up to these days...

Well, he's still making experimental films:



... and "writing" "songs":



... and performing heavy metal on an acoustic guitar:



Except now he also gives relationship advice:



And advances his own theory about the Kennedy assassination:



(Shrug)

Long story short, he's a million times better than Fred.

Sandwich as Surreal Art

Being a surrealist, I tend to think outside of the box- but even so, I never thought that there would ever be an honest to God surreal sandwich. Think about it, what would a surreal sandwich consist of?

Take the state of Montana, slather on fortitude, three pickles, and our blend of spices (a mixture of Danny Elfman and forest fires), lay it on top of two microchips, grill it like a panini and serve it underwater.

Yeah, but you can't eat that. Anyway, KFC went ahead and made what appears to be an actual, edible surreal sandwich, The Double Down.

The above video made the rounds online last week, but I didn't think it was real- but then Fox News confirmed it:



Now I usually wouldn't use Fox News as a source for anything, and if you were to do so I would ridicule you to the point that it would be embarrassing for both of us. However, I really wanted to write this article so I could include the hilarious "surreal sandwich" description I posted just a few inches back...
