Space Janitors

/ Shane / 2 Comments

If you like Star Wars (and if you read this blog, it’s a fairly good guess that you do, but there are a few of you in particular I’m thinking of), then you should go check out the web series Space Janitors.

This is a show that examines life on the “other side” of the Imperial Death Star, the low level flunkies and janitors who are just trying to eke out a living while keeping the Death Star plumbing flowing. It’s kind of like a cross between that scene in Clerks where they discuss the poor contractors who got blown up on the incomplete Death Star in Jedi, and the Eddie Izzard Death Star canteen skit.

Most of the episodes are hilarious, but if you’re looking for a good intro episode, I’d start with Laser sword:

Here’s one pulled out of the archives.  I originally saved this link for blogging purposes on July 13th of ’08!

I’m a fan of Eddie Izzard, but it turns out his bits are even funnier when performed by little lego guys:

You can see many, many more here. Aparently doing Eddie Izzard bits as stop action lego guys is quite a thing because there are many, many more users with the same, but that link goes to the original ones I saw.

Busy doesn’t even begin to describe what the past few weeks have been like. I’m going to make some token effort to catch this bad dog up, but we’ll see how that goes. I’m going to try to do it in little chunks in case the internet tries to eat it, like it usually does. It hasn’t had a chance to eat any of my posts lately, so it’s probably hungry. While I’m typing the first post, entertain yourself.

“Taxidermy. You can’t just fall into taxidermy. People, they got to want to, I want to be a taxidermist! I want to fill animals with sand! I want to get more sand into an animal than anyone has ever got. I want to get the whole of the Gobi desert into a rat. Bee keepers. Beeeeee keepers. You got to want to be a bee keeper. I want to keep bees. I want to keep ’em! So they don’t get away. I want them on elastic so when they get pollen they come back here! My father was a bee keeper before me, his father was a bee keeper before him. I want to walk in their footsteps. And their footsteps were like this…BAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! I’M COVERED IN BEES!”

That was just to get you in the mood for this link:
I’m covered in bees!!!
