For the fourth year running, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel challenged parents to pretend they ate all their kids’ halloween candy and uploaded their recorded reactions to YouTube. Here are 2014’s submissions; once again, it’s a riot filled with mad children, disappointed children, and the occasional “I’m okay with it” kids. And in case you missed the gems from years prior, or if you want to relive the magic that is parents taking away from their children the thing they covet most: 2011, 2012, 2013.

‘Better Call Saul’ behind the scenes
Perhaps this will help you ride out the anticipation for Vince Gilligan’s next AMC project: it’s a behind the scenes look at Better Call Saul, the highly anticipated Breaking Bad prequel/spinoff starring Bob Odenkirk as sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman small-time lawyer Jimmy McGill. In the clip you’ll hear from Odenkirk, other cast members including Jonathan Banks (reprising Mike Ehrmantraut) and Michael McKean (he’s playing Jimmy’s brother Chuck McGill), as well as members of the show’s crew.
Better Call Saul premieres in February.
‘Orphan Black’ season 3 tease
Orphan Black is coming. But not soon enough. In the meantime, enjoy this first teaser hyping the sci-fi action show’s upcoming third season. The song: Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” How appropriate.

Sneak peek ABC & Marvel’s ‘Agent Carter’
Marvel’s next live-action TV show is Agent Carter. It’s inspired the Marvel One-Shot short film that came packed inside Captain America: The First Avenger way back when. Hayley Atwell reprises her role as Peggy Carter, an agent of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR)–S.H.I.E.L.D.’s predecessor. The show takes place in the 1940s when America is disengaging from WWII, and just after her love Steve “Captain America” Rogers gets dislodged from his time period. Hanging above is a first look clip featuring Carter, Iron Man’s father Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, also reprising his role from the first Cap movie), and Father Stark’s butler and inspiration for Tony’s advanced AI, Jarvis (played by James D’Arcy). Watch a scene from the pilot and then a quick montage of Agent Carter kicking ass and taking names now.
ABC will debut Agent Carter in January 2015. The 8-episode season will air in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Tuesdays-at-9 timeslot while that show is on winter hiatus.
OK Go impresses again with meticulously shot music video featuring motorized scooters, colorful umbrellas & a drone
OK Go may not be the most popular alt-rock band on the scene, but there’s absolutely no denying their inventiveness when it comes to the construction, production, and execution of their extravagant and by all means brilliant music videos. Billboard breaks down their latest masterpiece and visual eye candy: getting around on motorized mobility devices made by Honda, the band is accompanied by a flock of umbrella-toting Japanese school girls in the middle of an abandoned structure located in the city of city of Chiba, about 45 minutes outside of Tokyo. The precise choreography is splendid, and the whole thing was captured by a camera-assisted drone called an octocopter. The single, uninterrupted shot took about 50 to 60 times to nail, but you just need to watch this once to fully embrace the magic of it all.
Movie trailer roundup: ‘Minions’, ‘Furious 7’ & ‘Ex Machina’ [Update: Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Chappie’]
The Minions are back, and this time they star in their very own spinoff movie appropriately titled Minions. Following their memorable debut in 2010’s Despicable Me and their reprise in the 2013 sequel Despicable Me 2, the tiny, yellow, lovable, babbling, hysterical creatures are turning back time in a prequel of sorts that takes place way before they worked with Steve Carell’s Gru. As you can see in the debut trailer above, the minions’ story dates back to the beginning of time and they all share the same goal: “to serve the most despicable master around.” From dinosaurs to ancient Egyptian pharaohs to Napoleon and even Dracula, the minions roam the Earth to serve. Unfortunately they can never seem to hold onto a master for long, and eventually they grow bored and depressed without a purpose. And so Kevin, Stuart and Bob team up on an adventure to find a new and lasting despicable master for their tribe. And as the extended trailer reveals, the trio will make their way to 1968 New York and then…you’ll have to flock to theatres July 10, 2015 to find out what happens next. You might be suspect as to how a feature-length film packed with jibberish-speaking oddities will keep your attention; well, if this trailer is any indication, Minions will do juuuuust fine. Also, Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, and Steve Coogan are billed as voice cast so there’s that to look forward to! Illumination Entertainment’s latest film is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda and written by Brian Lynch.

NERDGASM: ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ teaser trailer arrives [Update: Extended trailer inside!]
Earlier this week, word got out that Marvel would be releasing a first look at the upcoming Avengers sequel Age of Ultron. The very next day a poor quality version of the sneak peek leaked but the comics and movie powerhouse took it in stride. Later that evening the studio uploaded and shared with the world the first official teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, even though it was supposed to make its worldwide debut during this coming Tuesday’s airing of ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They blamed Hydra for the leak–points!
And so, here it is. For your viewing pleasure. Our heroes including including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye take on villain Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction, in this action-packed and oh-so-epic 2:16 tease.
Some notes: Yes, that is The Blacklist‘s James Spader spectacularly voicing the villainous Ultron and quoting “I’ve Got No Strings” as made famous in the classic Disney animated tale Pinocchio…Did you catch Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as mutant twins Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver?…And how awesome is Tony Stark’s latest creation the Hulkbuster? He’ll use it, as you can see, to take on Bruce Banner’s green Hulk. But why are the heroes in arms in such a kerfuffle? Time will tell.
Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theatres May 1, 2015. Jump after the break to view a new poster and the full official logline for the movie.
Update (10/28): Despite Hydra’s best efforts, Marvel still managed to surprise its fans by airing a new extended trailer during Tuesday night’s telecast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC. The first minute of the new clip features The Avengers–plus Maria Hill and James Rhodes–straight chilling at Tony Stark’s posh pad. They’re having their hand at trying to pick up mighty Mjölnir; but of course, it is only the mighty Thor who is “worthy” enough to wield the weapon. The party, though, comes to a screeching halt in no time when Ultron emerges and speaks of strings, none of which he has: we know. Watch it after the break.

Host Jimmy Fallon & guest Bradley Cooper cannot keep it together in ‘Tonight Show’ interview
Earlier this week, newly inducted Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon invited actor Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) over for a typical late night interview and what audiences got was something…different.

For ten minutes straight the two engaged in an uncontrollable laugh fest that is admittedly unprofessional but simultaneously unabashedly hysterical and infectious. Enjoy the uncut “interview” above!
