Okay, This Is the Last Gangnam Style I Will Ever Post*
Look, if you’re sick of “Gangnam Style,” then I’m not going to be hurt if you can’t/won’t watch this video featuring the G1 Transformers busting a PSY-style groove. But I had to post it for two reasons: 1) it was made by NG Smoov, whose CG Transformers animations have been delighting me for years, and 2) even though I know it was coming, seeing an elevator door open to show Megatron straddle-dancing above a winsome Shockwave was still totally worth it. Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip.

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
