Beavis and Butt-Head is one of the most iconic adult animated series out there. It focuses on two teenagers named Beavis and Butt-Head and follows their daily lives, which are full of unusual events, awkward moments, and pop-culture references.

The idea of a Beavis and Butt-Head live-action movie has been floated around for a long time, but the project never came to fruition. However, we recently got the second-best thing, thanks to Barbie star Ryan Gosling. During his recent hosting gig at Saturday Night Live, Gosling brought Beavis and Butt-Head to life in a hilarious sketch.

In the sketch, Heidi Gardner is a TV host tasked with interviewing a professor, played by Kenan Thompson, on the topic of Artificial Intelligence. However, as soon as the interview starts, the professor is distracted by gentlemen in the audience. The audience member, played by Gosling, is a spitting image of Beavis.

After the professor asks Beavis-look-alike to move, Butt-Head’s doppelganger (Mikey Day) takes his place. The professor is once again unable to continue with his talk, and Gardner is so impressed that she breaks characters and can’t contain her laughter. Eventually, Beavis and Butt-Head look-alikes get seated together, resulting in even more chaos and chuckles among the audience.

Check out the entire sketch below.

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s unique style, which drew inspiration from graffiti art, continues to captivate art enthusiasts and influence artists from all over the world. Camera maker Polaroid recently joined the celebration of Basquiat’s artworks and life by releasing a limited collection inspired by the Neo-expressionist artist.

The collection consists of a Now Generation 2 camera model covered with motifs from Basquiat’s iconic painting Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump as well as Basquiat Edition i-Type film and shoulder strap. The film packs are designed in 10 unique frames, each featuring a different artwork by the late artist, while the shoulder strap is adorned with artworks Untitled (Crown) and World Famous Vol. 1 Thesis.

According to Polaroid, each camera is hydro-dipped, ensuring that no two models are the same. 

 “Jean-Michel Basquiat pulled inspiration from everywhere, knowing that when you lead with instinct, creativity will follow, “Polaroid wrote on Instagram, introducing the camera. “We’re bringing the improvisational spark behind his extraordinary art to life with this collection.”

Basquiat Edition collection is available on Polaroid’s official website. Currently, the bundle containing all three items is listed as sold out, as are the shoulder straps. You can still get the camera for $156.99, while the triple pack of film costs $54.99.

A rare gold LEGO piece recently fetched a price of $18,101 at an auction organized by Goodwill. At this price, it is considered to be the most expensive LEGO piece ever sold.  

The item was donated to a Goodwill store in Du Bois, Pennsylvania in February as part of a jewelry collection. Initially, the store listed it for $14.95 on its online shop but quickly realized its mistake when a flurry of offers started coming in.

After further research, the staff discovered the LEGO piece was actually a limited-edition Kanohi Hau mask, made out of 14-karat gold, from the discontinued line of LEGO toys called Bionicle. The piece was released in 2001 as part of a giveaway campaign, and only 30 of them are in existence.

Upon finding out the real value of the item, Goodwill placed it on auction, which attracted a bid of $33,000. However, the highest bidder was unable to complete the purchase, and it went to another bidder, who offered $18,101. The funds collected from the sale will now go to support Goodwill’s mission of providing “job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment.”

Bionicle was a line of construction toys that featured an original story that was told through book series, video games, and animated movies. The toys were produced between 2001 and 2010 before being discontinued despite a large popularity. LEGO later rebooted Bionicle in 2015 and 2023.  

In the world of Bionicle, the Kanohi Hau mask is an item that protects wearers from all attacks they “are aware of but not from attacks that come from ambush or mental powers.”

When Berk Armagan drew his hometown of Istanbul on a disposable coffee cup, he had no idea this moment will mark the beginning of an amazing journey. He went on to visit many countries over the years and chronicled his adventures by making paper cup drawings of the beautiful places he saw along the way.

Armagan is a self-taught artist based in Istanbul and he was studying the Turkish language at Istanbul University when he embarked on this journey. Traveling the world wasn’t something he could afford back in the day, so he initially only drew landmarks of Istanbul on coffee cups.

“I hadn’t got enough money to travel the world so one day I hit one very good idea. I’ve started to draw on cups that people were throwing away to garbage. Apart from traveling the world, I have many projects to fill the cups with!” Armagan told Bored Panda.

Armagan’s first project “Cups of Istanbul” is now many years behind him, and he visited 27 countries and 70 cities around the world in the meantime. He’s followed by over 100,000 people on Instagram and went on to collaborate with such brands as Michelin and Starbucks, in addition to selling his paper cups.

Dogs will always choose to forgive their humans if they do something wrong. But there is one golden retriever named Kensington who is looking to make humans more accountable towards their pets. Kensington is starring in funny parody ads for lawyer services.

Kensington’s Instagram profile is filled with ads that encourage dogs to contact attorneys “Cambpell, Wagtail & Fetcher, attorneys at paw” if they feel they have been wronged by their humans.

“Does dad always blame you for clogging the vacuum? You might be entitled to com’paw’nsation. Shedding: your privilege, my right!” it says in one ad that features a photo of Kensington wearing a suit and sitting at the top of the robot vacuum cleaner.

Another ad sees Kensington wearing glasses and having a serious look on her face alongside a message that says: “Did your human break a treat in half and try to pass it off as a whole treat? You might be entitled to compensation.”

But Kensington doesn’t plan to stop there. It appears that she will also start making video commercials to spread the word.

“We have tons of ideas still to come, and Kensington’s ‘pawyering’ videos are coming soon. Stay tuned,” Kensington’s humans told Bored Panda in a recent interview.

In the meantime, check out more parody ads starring Kensington below.

Janet Pulcho is a Ukrainian artist who caught the attention of the art world with her amazing floral watercolor paintings. Pulcho’s large-scale paintings are a joy to look at, featuring colorful flowers in full bloom, filling out the entire canvas. This is one of the reasons why her works have been a popular feature in exhibitions around the world and have become quite desirable among private art collectors.

Another major draw of her works is that artists rarely opt to create watercolor paintings on big canvases. Pulcho admits that the process can be quite challenging since she needs to work fast in order to get the best results.

Speaking about her decision to make flowers the main subject of her works, Pulcho says that her goal is to bring some beauty and inspiration to the world.

“I like florals for their esthetics,” she shared in a recent interview. “There is enough ugliness in the world and I believe that my paintings can bring something beautiful and inspiring to other peoples life. I also love to paint watercolor portraits, but I do this really rarely.”

Pulcho, who is currently based in Florence, Italy, regularly shares her newest works on social media. Check out more of them below.

A woman named Flora Steel recently discovered that her brooch, which she bought for around $35 in the 1980s, was designed by Victorian Gothic Revival designer and architect William Burges and is worth more than $19,000.

As the story goes, Steel saw a brooch at an antique market and found it beautiful, so she decided to buy it. It stayed in her jewelry collection until recently, when she watched a clip from a 2011 episode of BBC’s show Antiques Roadshow that featured a Burges-designed brooch similar to hers.

After inspecting the brooch closely and realizing it could be worth a lot more than she paid for it, Steel took it to action house Gildings Auctioneers, who confirmed it was the work of Burges.

Steel ended up appearing on a 2023 Christmas special of Antiques Roadshow, where she shared the story.

“The brooch originally caught my eye for its strong design, strange lettering, and unusual stones,” Steel shared. “I always loved it and thought that it was so particular in its design that sooner or later I would discover who had designed it.”

The brooch is now headed to auction in the spring, where it is estimated to fetch a bid of up to $19,000.

Who wouldn’t like to have a chair shaped like an orange or a melon in their living room? Okay, maybe there are people who wouldn’t, but we definitely would. This is probably why we are such fans of Bonny Carrera’s recent series of chair and sofa designs inspired by fruit and veggies.

Carrera recently took social media by storm with intriguing furniture that is shaped like fruit and veggies. His designs are on point and often done in a variety of different options, making internet users wish they are turned into reality.

According to Carrera, these intriguing designs have been created with the help of an artificial intelligence program Midjourney. They were a result of the artist’s wish to check out a new creative tool and see its capabilities.

“The fruity armchairs are made with AI midjourney,” Carrera shared with DeMilked in a recent chat. “I just played around with this new tool – no big story behind this collection to tell.”

Bonny Carrera is a 3D artist based in Berlin, Germany. He has several other interesting collaborations with AI, including chairs inspired by eggs, fashion designs based on food, and tables in organic forms.

The ’90s was a great era for many kids. The music and the movies were amazing, the toys were cool, the internet was just beginning to take over, and the video game revolution was in full swing.

Inspired by these great times, Belgian artist Bert Musketon recently decided to start an art series in which he illustrated random objects from the era. Musketon set himself a challenge to make 29 illustrations in 29 days, and the results are awesome.

Among his works are all those objects that you liked growing up if you were a kid in the ’90s. The list includes a Nintendo Game Boy, an old school Casio watch, a Playstation 1 console, a VHS tape, a mobile phone with an antenna, and much more.

According to Musketon, all of these illustrations have been created using Adobe Illustrator.

“I drew one object every single day for 29 days straight,” he explains. “On average it took me 4 hours per drawing counting up to an average total of 116 hours to create all these artworks.”

This hard work really paid off, as the illustrations proved to be quite a hit among his social media followers. Check out more of them below.

Michael Davydov is a talented artist who creates fascinating miniature houses that he confines in glass containers. His works look like they came straight out of some fantasy world and are displayed in a way that allows the viewer to unpack their intricate details.

Davydov enjoyed building things with his hands from early childhood. He was making simplistic sculptures using any material he could get his hands on, but as he grew older, his creative process became more complex.

Nowadays, Davydov uses clay, paper, fabric, and wood, among other materials, to craft countryside houses, elaborate buildings, and sometimes complete small towns that can fit on one’s palm. They all have imaginative elements added to them, being placed on top of trees or built on Moon-like structures.

Davydov aims to spark imagination with his works but also to send a message about the current state of the world.

“It is not difficult to see in my works the idea of the fragility of the world, behind thin glass—in photographs where these worlds literally fit in one hand,” he shared in a recent chat with Art of Play. “I broke glass several times and repaired some tiny world that had accidentally fallen, but this will not work with our world. It is alone, and it is in our hands.”

Janet Pulcho is a Ukrainian artist who caught the attention of the art world with her amazing floral watercolor paintings. Pulcho’s large-scale paintings are a joy to look at, featuring colorful flowers in full bloom, filling out the entire canvas. This is one of the reasons why her works have been a popular feature in exhibitions around the world and have become quite desirable among private art collectors.

Another major draw of her works is that artists rarely opt to create watercolor paintings on big canvases. Pulcho admits that the process can be quite challenging since she needs to work fast in order to get the best results.

Speaking about her decision to make flowers the main subject of her works, Pulcho says that her goal is to bring some beauty and inspiration to the world.

“I like florals for their esthetics,” she shared in a recent interview. “There is enough ugliness in the world and I believe that my paintings can bring something beautiful and inspiring to other peoples life. I also love to paint watercolor portraits, but I do this really rarely.”

Pulcho, who is currently based in Florence, Italy, regularly shares her newest works on social media. Check out more of them below.

A woman named Flora Steel recently discovered that her brooch, which she bought for around $35 in the 1980s, was designed by Victorian Gothic Revival designer and architect William Burges and is worth more than $19,000.

As the story goes, Steel saw a brooch at an antique market and found it beautiful, so she decided to buy it. It stayed in her jewelry collection until recently, when she watched a clip from a 2011 episode of BBC’s show Antiques Roadshow that featured a Burges-designed brooch similar to hers.

After inspecting the brooch closely and realizing it could be worth a lot more than she paid for it, Steel took it to action house Gildings Auctioneers, who confirmed it was the work of Burges.

Steel ended up appearing on a 2023 Christmas special of Antiques Roadshow, where she shared the story.

“The brooch originally caught my eye for its strong design, strange lettering, and unusual stones,” Steel shared. “I always loved it and thought that it was so particular in its design that sooner or later I would discover who had designed it.”

The brooch is now headed to auction in the spring, where it is estimated to fetch a bid of up to $19,000.

Who wouldn’t like to have a chair shaped like an orange or a melon in their living room? Okay, maybe there are people who wouldn’t, but we definitely would. This is probably why we are such fans of Bonny Carrera’s recent series of chair and sofa designs inspired by fruit and veggies.

Carrera recently took social media by storm with intriguing furniture that is shaped like fruit and veggies. His designs are on point and often done in a variety of different options, making internet users wish they are turned into reality.

According to Carrera, these intriguing designs have been created with the help of an artificial intelligence program Midjourney. They were a result of the artist’s wish to check out a new creative tool and see its capabilities.

“The fruity armchairs are made with AI midjourney,” Carrera shared with DeMilked in a recent chat. “I just played around with this new tool – no big story behind this collection to tell.”

Bonny Carrera is a 3D artist based in Berlin, Germany. He has several other interesting collaborations with AI, including chairs inspired by eggs, fashion designs based on food, and tables in organic forms.

The ’90s was a great era for many kids. The music and the movies were amazing, the toys were cool, the internet was just beginning to take over, and the video game revolution was in full swing.

Inspired by these great times, Belgian artist Bert Musketon recently decided to start an art series in which he illustrated random objects from the era. Musketon set himself a challenge to make 29 illustrations in 29 days, and the results are awesome.

Among his works are all those objects that you liked growing up if you were a kid in the ’90s. The list includes a Nintendo Game Boy, an old school Casio watch, a Playstation 1 console, a VHS tape, a mobile phone with an antenna, and much more.

According to Musketon, all of these illustrations have been created using Adobe Illustrator.

“I drew one object every single day for 29 days straight,” he explains. “On average it took me 4 hours per drawing counting up to an average total of 116 hours to create all these artworks.”

This hard work really paid off, as the illustrations proved to be quite a hit among his social media followers. Check out more of them below.

Michael Davydov is a talented artist who creates fascinating miniature houses that he confines in glass containers. His works look like they came straight out of some fantasy world and are displayed in a way that allows the viewer to unpack their intricate details.

Davydov enjoyed building things with his hands from early childhood. He was making simplistic sculptures using any material he could get his hands on, but as he grew older, his creative process became more complex.

Nowadays, Davydov uses clay, paper, fabric, and wood, among other materials, to craft countryside houses, elaborate buildings, and sometimes complete small towns that can fit on one’s palm. They all have imaginative elements added to them, being placed on top of trees or built on Moon-like structures.

Davydov aims to spark imagination with his works but also to send a message about the current state of the world.

“It is not difficult to see in my works the idea of the fragility of the world, behind thin glass—in photographs where these worlds literally fit in one hand,” he shared in a recent chat with Art of Play. “I broke glass several times and repaired some tiny world that had accidentally fallen, but this will not work with our world. It is alone, and it is in our hands.”
