Driving a Train through your Media Brain

This is one of my absolute favorite pieces of media from the past half decade. I’ve synced/watched it at least four times, and have listened to the audio twice as many as that (most of those being flights, which I highly recommend after having watched it once). Quite simply, I think this is one of the best written pieces of modern comedy I’ve encountered.

Wizard People, Dear Reader is Brad Neely’s re-recording of the entirety of the dialogue from 2001′s ugly “Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone.” Neely is also one of the premier brick-layers at what used to be www.SuperDeluxe.com, where he produced a shit ton of stellar animated shorts

extensions of the style developed in Creased Comics

God, I’m so tempted to just start quoting lines, but I can’t rob any new-viewers the pleasure of going in uninformed. Just, trust me; this thing is brilliant. On the extra-omnibus, this thing would be riding first class.

WIZARD PEOPLE, DEAR READER (mp3′s)

Each of the above clips come courtesy of Bob Fosse (in fact, Robert is The Snake in The Little Price clip on the bottom). The question is: do these white people have rhythm, and movement? Or is it some strange form of rhythmimickry, giving the appearance of coordinated, sophisticated movement, belying an unknowing, unseeing, unfeeling flail?

Weird, deleted sentence: What astounds me is that, creatively speaking, for once it wasn’t [white people] who repurposed and repackaged the original, but [black people] to [white people]! Holy cats!

An inter-oldie from (relatively) back in the day. I assume, that is. Back in the day. Having only seen this now, I cannot confirm said assumption.

God bless the Japanese.

Absolutely… confounding. Candidates for Theories:

1) This is a friend, and I know this person

2) This is a robot, trying to convince me to buy [something]

3) This is a crazy person

Needless to say, I hope it’s the latterest (though I’m almost positive it’s the formerest). Which only makes me a little sad.

BUT, if you are an actual crazy person, I would happily deign your confoundments with a response! Say something extra insane to certify your mental health, and I will answer any query you pose.

I would also like to take this moment to salute a true omnibus hero: this Eastern European fellow!
