They are getting so fast at turning these around! Soon the CGI news will probably PRECOG the events themselves. Anyway, now you can see American Folk Hero Steven Slater have a post-flight melt down in glorious 256-colors:
This is one of the better ones in awhile. I really like that there’s no voice over or subtitles or explanation of what is happening. I’m not in charge of what gets played in an endless loop on a tiny monitor embedded in the crotch of a department store mannequin displayed in a modern art museum (not yet!) but when I am in charge of that, and obviously I’m working on it (night degrees in art history and curatorial sciences take time!) that is going to be the first thing you see when you walk in.

flight attendants, the postal workers of the .com era.
What the Heck are those noises he is making in the beginning?
“MUHUHAHAHAHA” So drinking beer turns you into a 20th century villain?
I wish I could slide on my back like that
TWSS
Can we coin TWSSS (That’s What Steven Slater Said), just for instances when people complain about their jobs?
they forgot a lot of integral parts; getting hit in the head with an overhead compartment door by some asshole passenger, throwing his luggage out first, but most importantly getting arrested mid-fuck.
Hey hey hey! How about a spoiler alert?!
*Alert* You are Spoiled.
He’s Definitely Fired.
A cutoff camoflauge sweatsuit. Classic plane attire.
Having our flight attendants make their own uniforms is just one of the reasons Jet Blue’s fares are so affordable!
can we be sure this story isn’t a new form of viral marketing for some movie coming out? its almost too perfect in every conceivable way to be true.
Do you think two dead-eyed passengers really stood at the door of the plane making awkward gestures like that when he jumped on the big slide? This is totally fake.
I’d rather see an AC Slater meltdown.
Billie Jean approves.
She’s not my lover.
Or, to get even more meta, how about a Jessie Spano meltdown?
[insert gif of "I'm So Excited ... I'm So Scared" here]
I love you, concert_addict. And you, Jesse Spano.
Love,
Zack
Awww I forgot how much I love Zach hugs. *sets DVR to Saved by the bell reruns on TBS*
I love the nod at the beer can. A brief moment of deliberation, and then “Fuck, yes, I’m going to drink a beer and I don’t give a good gosh damn what anyone thinks.”
I LOVE that they really play up his bad-assery! He just saunters away from the slide drinking his beer!
I recreated this in The Sims, only in my version, the guy slides into a swimming pool and drowns while his neighbor just stands there barbecuing.
Also, everyone is nude.
This is why I go to these videos for my news. No article I read on this mentioned that he let loose an awesome evil laugh as he slid down.
The gay community so needs an icon like this – a take-no-shit guy who got famous just for drinking, swearing, fucking and making badass, daring escapes.
But in real life, not just in The Chronicles of Riddick.
Looking forward to the feature film version, Pitch Me if You Can
Why you gotta be hating on Canadians all the time, NBC?
I am getting a creepy, lifeless robotic voice telling me ‘THIS CONTENT IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE’. Either this is another racist thing or the robots are beginning to turn on me….
My boyfriend looks good in CGI. Or, I mean, my-ex-husband-I-was-married-to-briefly-in-the-early-90s-because-come-on-who-wasn’t-married-in-the-early-90s looks good in CGI.

Here’s what the Taiwan CGI bits always makes me think of: that one time just before Phantom Menace was released, little Jake Loyd (the little blonde baby who played baby Anakin Skywalker) announced on Entertainment Tonight or Hard Copy or whatever that Phantom Menace was going to “blow Titanic out of the water.” He was referring to the box office revenue, his high hopes for box office glory. He was obviously just parroting what the grown ups must have been saying around him at the time so it’s kind of cute and innocent in a way, despite the fact that Phantom Menace is synonymous with the atrocity that is modern day CGI shit. These Taiwan CGI news cartoons are like that moment in time for me.
Even in CGI this dude is a pimp. Tough to do.
This is kind of like that one time in my childhood and I was at a classmate’s house and they showed me their sims account. Their Sims house was filled with pinball machines and there were
Sims alternately dying and doing obscene things on the couch. Like that time, I am now slightly afraid for my life and slightly intrigued by a bunch of poorly made CGI Sims.
