My homage to the bizarre TV Yule Log tradition. Plenty of floaty things in this fireplace to make you hungry, thirsty, curious, confused and cozy. And things you'd love to burn.
The original TV Yule Log ran every Christmas when I was a kid. It was many hours of this hypnotic shot of log burning in a fireplace, with cheesy holiday background music. If you watched closely you could see where they looped the fire footage because the same log bump would ploop! reappear!
I spent waaaay too many hours watching this surreally fake TV fireplace. And I always wanted to make my own Yule Log with more surreal stuff going on. So I made the Bob Log when they replaced Yule Log with the Ab Master infomercial.
My original Bob Log was about 20 minutes. And it makes no linear sense, but it's fun to zone out to.
This excerpt is called My Favorite Things.
BWAA HAHAHAA! I was in the supermarket before and they were playing Rod Stewart singing that song. He sounded like he wanted to shoot himself, and I know I wanted to shoot him. BTW there was a TV special about the yule log that ran an hour last year on channel 11, I learned so much. Now they need a special about the Chiller Theater opening.
