Amazing Hulk Car Custom Paint Job
For those who love their car as much as superhero movies, German graffiti artistRene Turrekhas debuted a custom paint job for a BMW X6, which, at first, looks like any normal, blue BMW. But, when the paint is exposed to hot water, the car turns into a Hulk-mobile, with the Green Goliath’s face showing up on the hood, and more designs on the door. I have no idea what kind of paint does this, but it’s still rather impressive.

We’ve highlighted the flamethrowing guitar stylings ofMad Max: Fury Road’s Coma the Doof Warrior (Iota) on Nerd Alert before, but nowFunny or Diehas an amusing take on the character with a new video where he offers a few helpful hints if you want to start your own apocalyptic wasteland guitar truck thing.
Elmo Cooks WithJimmy Fallon
The belovedSesame StreetcharacterElmodropped byThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonearlier this week, where he showedJimmy Fallon,QuestloveandJason Schwartzmanhow to make a few recipes from the newSesame StreetcookbookLet’s Cook. The result is quite humorous, although I’m not sure how delicious a waffle grilled cheese sandwich would be.
The Five Stages Of Watching a Pixar Movie
WithInside Outopening in theaters today,How It Should Have Endedhas put together a brief but hilarious two-minute short that breaks down the five stages of watching aDisney Pixar movie. While it’s very accurate, it unfortunately reminds us that the studio is sadly continuing their least-beloved franchises.
Woody Harrelson’sTrue DetectiveCharacter Reacts toGame of Thrones Season 5- SPOILERS
First, there will be several spoilers in the above video forGame of Thrones Season 5, so watch at your own risk. Hordes of fans have very strong reactions to many different aspects ofGame of Thronesthis season, butOzzy Man Reviewshas cut together a hilarious video whereWoody Harrelson’sTrue Detectivecharacter Martin Hart reacts to some of this season’s more shocking moments, including the rape of Sansa, and, of course, the death of Jon Snow. It seems Marty was just as big a Jon Snow fan as the rest of us.
Star WarsRadio Controlled Helicopters
Bandai Namco’s subsidiary CCP has unveiled three newStar Warsradio controlled helicopters that are miniaturized versions of the Millennium Falcon, an X-Wing ship and a TIE fighter. We don’t know exactly how much these will cost, but they will be available for purchase on August 1.
An Amazon Support Specialist PlaysThorIn a Live Chat
This is a bit old, first surfacing back in August of last year, but I saw this on a friend’s Facebook page last night and I just had to include it in today’s Nerd Alert. The photo above is reportedly from an actual Amazon customer service chat (although I don’t know if it’s ever been verified as authentic), where a service rep introduces himself asThor, which prompts the customer to ask if he can be Odin. Seamlessly, they go back and forth with a hilarious conversation in theThorvernacular. Even if this isn’t real, we should all hope to get a customer service person as awesome as this guy.
Jurassic WorldWiener Dog Parody
Anna Schattehas put together a hilarious parody ofJurassic World, cutting together scenes from the trailer with her own wiener dog footage to makeJurassic Weenie. It’s not even a minute long, but it’s rather clever, with a shot at the end that even mocks the mosasaurus eating the shark scene.
