Here are some the Blip staff’s favorite episodes:
Feminist Frequency points out that iOS has an unusually large collection of creative, non-violent, problem solving video games.
As usual, you’re bound to look at the world differently after watching this episode. If you enjoy this episode, check out FF’s Tropes vs Women series.
Robb Padget, Tanya Ihnen and Steve Lekowicz of KATR Pictures know how to do holidays right. These two special videos from their Vampire Zombie Werewolf and Life From The Inside series are terribly clever and feature Padget’s original music. The VZW clip is delightfully odd, while the LFTI video is full of laughs, warm fuzzies and a Christmas carol you’ll want to add to your holiday playlist.

The Story Of Two Men Trapped In One Body
Great anti-Romney ad. There’s more context than your average political ad. There’s no excessively ominous sounding music. It makes him look foolish and inconsequential, rather than just evil. There’s some Daily Show influence here.
Whether you’re a feminist or a fangirl or you just like to learn, these six “Tropes vs Women” episodes of Feminist Frequency are absolutely fascinating. Host Anita Sarkeesian makes sure you’ll never look at entertainment the same way.

I recommend starting with The Straw Feminist. And I’m not totally on board with The Mystical Pregnancy.

We take a look at the current global citizen uprising. Who is behind the “Occupy Wall Street” gatherings in New York, Los Angeles and dozens of other cities across America; and what are they looking to achieve? We talk exclusively with Grim Womyn, one of those helping to lead the online effort of this growing movement.
Is this the same Grim Womyn from grimwomyn.tumblr.com?

Hank Williams Compares Obama to Hitler on Fox
This is less of an outrageous political comment than it is an example of Fox’s proclivity for booking big dummies - and Hank Williams is a Big Dummy - and then asking them to comment on politics.
The West Wing: Governor Ritchie Governor Perry and President Bartlet President Obama.
Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence
1990 pre-release promo clip of the band on top of WTC Tower #2.

Over time, I’ve come to believe that this is one of The Best Songs Ever.
