Tom Godsall's Keep Right

Glossy highlights this hilarious short by Tim Godsall of Biscuit starring Ewen Bremner and Lance Henriksen (of Millenium fame. Anyone ever watch that show? Hey, just because I can hum the entire opening theme doesn’t mean I actually watched the show. But I digress.).

If you’re a boy and wasn’t a dipshit growing up, you will identify with this short.

Rube Goldberg has been done a thousand times before. But like girls on a trampoline or people face-planting, it’s always worth watching.

From the creative director: “We felt that the commercial needed to be taken in one take to be believable. This was a highly technical process. More than 17,000 Cadbury Tumbles had to be weighed to get only 8 Tumbles with the correct weight and circumference to be able to flow through the machine and trigger each phase of its journey.”

Indie darlings and personal faves MGMT and Yeasayer have ridden the path to pseudo-stardom by being a bit left of center. So why not continue to ride that wave with music videos featuring leftover puppets from one of Jim Henson’s acid trips?

W… T… F.

But give the edge to Yeasayer for the Kristen Bell casting.
