OH MY GLOB IT’S A TESLA COIL FIGHT
Do you like things that are totally fucking awesome? Then stop whatever the fuck you are doing and watch the above video immediately, in which two brilliant Irish dudes put on special suits that turn them into human Tesla coils and then fight each other. It’s about the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. Dear George — or, I guess, Disney now — if you want to do another special edition, feel free to take the Emperor’s animated Force lightning and replace it with this. You know, along with inserting Mickey Mouse ears on all the Jawas or whatever the hell you’re already thinking of. (Via Obvious Winner)
About The Author
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.
