The video starts out with Noah Sakamoto and Patrick Rizzo suiting up in Kimmel’s latest pieces. Then they go bomb Claremont Ave in Berkeley, CA. Photographer Ari Marcopoulos made the video, but it’s Noah and Patrick cinematography of their 45+ mpg downhill, car-dodging, camera-passing ballet that puts your stomach in a knot. Obviously, It’s not the first time they have done this.

I think being a spam copywriter might be something to aspire to. It’s a simple fun formula: create a headline with 10 words or less, formed purely to grab attention from a cluttered inbox. Sprinkle in a celebrity name, lost appendage, current event/rumor, maybe a misspelling and viola - click-through gold! I could see this concept getting worked into a party game.
