Made by Ze Frank, the Executive Vice President of video at Buzzfeed, True Facts is a bizarre and hilarious web video series of unusual animal facts narrated in a pretty spot on Morgan Freeman voice. So it’s only fitting that there’s a True Facts vid about the great and mighty Morgan Freeman himself. And it’ the best one.

Enjoy more True Facts, here, while you wait for 5pm.

For some reason I’d never seen this 2012 Pendoring Gold-winning TV ad until recently. The Afrikaans TV commercial for Lexus is by Draftfcb and directed by Ola! Films’ Amy Allais, and is brilliantly weird. Perfect for the lull that is a Friday before hometime.

Enjoy!

If you’ve already seen it I apologize. But not really because it’s worth another watch.

South African art director Gerrit Basson works at Two Fish in Amsterdam. For fun, he and his copywriter Kit Ballantyne recently made this ode to stock photography video: Every dreary stock photo you’ve ever seen – set to a catchy pop melody.

Have a good day off tomorrow!

This is insane! This Friday’s afternoon entertainment is a timelapse video that shows artist Patrick Vale drawing the view of the Manhattan skyline from the Empire State Building in ridiculous detail, to the music of Charles Mingus. Enjoy!

The New Feelings Time crew have created a parody of Dove’s Real Beauty Sketches campaign that went viral this week. In the original, below, an FBI trained forensic artist draws the portraits of women he’s never seen based solely on their descriptions of themselves, and descriptions of them from relative strangers. The resulting images portray the message of the campaign, that women are more beautiful than they think.

The description of the video reads: Women are their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful. At Dove, we are committed to creating a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. So, we decided to conduct a compelling social experiment that explores how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see.

In this comedic parody, the women are replaced with men. And the blurb goes: Men are not their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of men around the world consider themselves average looking. At New Feelings Time, we are committed to creating a world where illegitimate beauty is not a source of confidence. So, we decided to conduct a compelling social experiment that explores how men view their own beauty in contrast to what others see.

On Fridays at 4 we like to share something ridiculous, wow!, hilarious or, in this case, charming to help 5pm roll around a little quicker. This short Pixar animation from 2011 stole my heart this week. Enjoy!

Youtuber and musician Jon Cozart from Austin, Texas imagines what happens to Disney’s princesses after their happily-ever-after endings. And it’s looking pretty bleak.

The video, which went viral this week, features Jon x 4 performing the tragic tales a capella to the tunes of the Disney movie theme songs.

Bring on the weekend!
