Best of BBtv - Dude totally flips out at E3

This week marks 6 months since Boing Boing tv was inserted into earth's atmosphere by alien insurgents. To celebrate, we're looking back at the "best of BBtv" as chosen by you, our viewers. Today we revisit a pre-dotcom-crash edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, through the eyes of the one human on earth capable of matching E3's hyperkinetic chaos with ample frenzy of his own.

In this BBtv episode, "comedy terrorist" Tim E. Woodsman high-kicks, dry-humps and generally freaks the hell out all over the LA Convention Center. Press access rules changed forever after this incident. E3 isn't huge and awesome anymore, either, so there's not much left to bum rush anyway.
This episode was cut from rediscovered footage produced for a CrapTV internet-boom-era TV pilot. Danny Diamond provided us with access to his footage vault (we pulled Bad Fairies from the same source), and BBtv's editors reassembled this short spazzfest for your nostalgic pleasure.
The crew of video guerrillas who made this happen this back in the day say: "We dedicate this to the memory of Tim E Woodsman, 1972 - 2007. We miss you. -- Jason, Jolon, Glasgow, Martha, Brody, Danny, Push, Tony, and everyone who made CRAPtv possible."

It was super easy to make - we simply edited together a couple hundred still photos of Post-Its stuck to a wall and scored it using samples from an old Casio SK1 keyboard." Post-It... More.

Juvenile dollar-mod

Spotted in the wild by the inestimable Fipi Lele, a modded US dollar bill with extra juvenile hilarity. I've seen lots of variations on this theme, but these two gags are new to me. (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)... More.

Quickdraw Noir, by Merrill Markoe

German expressionism meets film noir meets Saturday morning cartoon funnies. Quickdraw Noir. "The rare noir episode of Quickdraw McGraw that featured Peter Lorre. With music by Andy Prieboy."

It's Time To Play...Is! It! Sinful!?

Say you're an average medieval Euro-Joe and you want to have sex with your wife. But first, you need to know, IS IT SINFUL? Digging through all those manuscripts of canon law can take forever (plus, as average medieval Euro-Joe, you can't read, anyway). Luckily, James A. Brundage has prepared a hand... More.
