Another delightfully simple site, where there is a single red button for you to push when somebody gets, uh, burned (in a metaphorical way).

I have to admit: I initially thought this was a crude animation (the Guitar Hero part, at least. The rest of the Christmas lighting around the house is worth a once over on its own merit) and not truly a game being played. In some of the wide shots, however, it becomes apparent there is a TV out in the driveway that is part of the setup actually generating a playable game on their garage door.

It gets less annoying around 1:00, it's worth the wait.
The amazing thing about this to me is that it's literally a 'real-time' performance with strategically placed microphones and cameras.
Bonus points for the guy at the mixer bobbing his head like he's a DJ.
If there are two constants on my site, they are Star Wars and doggies. 'Nuf said.
The voicework in this is fantastic, and they made me laugh out loud more than once.

Scary, weird or funny looking Santas - and lots of crying kids.
Santa masks are NOT OK!
A face tattoo? Really? That's it. No more santa visits at Big Lots.
This looks like a scene from a Japanese monster movie.
Please see picture #2 above.
The sunglasses indoors seal the deal.
This santa is fine. It's the kid who is sketchy.
This kid is practically in a body cast. WTF?
Also, the 'santa' in this pic is clearly named 'Sid'.

James Lipton Reminds You To "Give It A Ponder"
0 comments Posted by Jake at Tuesday, December 08, 2009James Lipton is starring in a series of commercials encouraging discretion when it comes to text messages. He sets up each spot with a person being tempted to forward or send a viscous text message, at which point Lipton removes his beard and places it on the face of the protagonist, apparently granting them his own capacity and foresight.
