Epic Win: Disney’s Fantasia

Aug. 25, 2009

This gorgeous 1940 classic won our hearts as young children, despite featuring classical music and no dialogue, except for a few intros (and they say kids have no attention span!). There’s not much more I can say about it. Enjoy!

Feel free to post your favorite parts of Fantasia in the comments.

I liked this commercial more than I enjoyed playing the game. In case you’re wondering what the lyrics are, I’ve transcribed them for you:

It’s sometime in the future…
the ultimate challenge…
CROSSFIRE!

CROSSFIRE!

[enter bass line]

CROSSFIRE!

CROSSFIRE!

Epic Win: Jiffy Pop Popcorn

Aug. 24, 2009

Submitted by Kim S

Jiffy Pop Popcorn was noticeably tastier than your microwavable variety. But unfortunately, Jiffy Pop was eventually nudged off the market by its less delicious competitors. An aside: stovetop popcorn also reminds me of that episode of Futurama where Fry puts the “Iffy Pop” in the microwave, which then sends the crew back in time.

Epic Win: Les Paul

Aug. 22, 2009

Submitted and Written by Laura C

Who and what could be more of an Epic Win than Les Paul and the guitar named after him? Many, so many of our personal musical Epic Wins would not exist today were it not for Les Paul and his creations; after all, he didn’t just invent the electric guitar, he also invented multi-track recording, which musicians have relied on heavily for decades. The man was so dedicated to his craft that when he suffered a badly-broken right arm as a young man, he instructed the doctors to set it so it would heal permanently cocked, ready to strum. Truly, one of the most epic of wins.
