Cap’n Crunch Confronts Controversy

Did you know that Cap’n Crunch has his own digital late-night talk show? Because I didn’t. You don’t even need to watch it to know that he’s better than Jay Leno. The latest episode of The Cap’n Crunch Show addressed a recent uniform controversy about whether or not the Cap’n is indeed a captain. (At this point, you’re wondering what’s going on. You aren’t alone). But the “controversy” has been getting play from Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brien, and Leno, so Brooklyn-based shop Huge has been behind the latest self-deprecating content from everyone’s favorite cereal captain. The above clip runs about a minute and reveals the ultimate secret: Cap’n’s eyebrows are actually attached to his hat, not his head. It’s good-natured and self-aware, things that are hard to find most days.

If you happen to be interested, the next episode of The Cap’n Crunch Show airs July 9 at 11:30 p.m.

Conan O’Brien Makes a More Honest iPad Commercial

Conan O'Brien's fake iPad commercial, meant as a parody of the latest Apple spots, including the one on the Oscars, isn't exactly groundbreaking (porn? on computers? why, I never!). But the delivery is as funny and observant as one would expect from Coco. If only real Internet porn were this tasteful most of the time. Pay attention to the fast-moving category screens, too—there are some hidden gems in there. "Doin' It" and "Doin' It Big Time" were my favorites, but I think there's something in there for everyone. OK, in context, that sounds weird.
