Team HR Nuggets

PAST CLASSICS: Christmastime is Here

Team Hurley tinfoil robot brother (2002). Runs on 4 car batteries. Programable Polish, Spanish, Jamaican and British accents. Hours of fun. Key phrases: ‘That’s Tight,’ ‘Holt Up,’ ‘What’d I Just Say?’ and ‘Low Battery.’ Also includes ‘laugh mode,’ which samples your own laugh and doubles it perfectly. Operating volume is no louder than a household vacuum cleaner (90 decibels).

PAST CLASSICS: How To Winterize

Your man feeling warm as toast here. 3 cheers for locking in the layers.

PAST CLASSICS: Blazed Vacay

Your man feeling light as a feather here. 3 cheers for Blazecation.

PAST CLASSICS: Infernal Loop PR Campaign

This poster was part of our ‘limited’ commercial campaign for The Infernal Loop. I remember when we showed up for this screening, the projectionist was really pumped to recognize Kyle from the film and started mimicking the hand gesture he does onscreen. Then, since the ‘special engagement’ was actually a film festival, a woman gave this super-long academic introduction to the film which I thought was tight, but wasn’t able to necessarily hold back laughter during. The highlight was that we submitted an hour version of the loop of which they actually screened what seemed to be a solid 10+ minutes. To top it off, we took the $100 prize for our category, but unfortunately received a check made out to ‘Cooper Black.’

PAST CLASSICS: Merry Christmas 2005

Vintage sound engineer Holiday stationary. Nothing says Merry Christmas better than a slick analog Neve console with some egg nog on it.

PAST CLASSICS: ‘Depressed Boy On Older Brother’s Tricked-Out Ride Ponders Heavy Questions of Life.’

Karl Hubley, 2005 Pen and Ink

PAST CLASSICS:

“Legacy is the word you’re looking for…”

PAST CLASSICS: 30 Hubs Shirtless

Before you ask, let me just say I too have no idea what Hubley was up to with these. I found these gems amidst a roll of 30 or so extremely similar shots of Hubley standing shirtless in front of a variety of faded vista backdrops. He was a bit shy and tightlipped about their origin, but I do remember him saying something like ‘don’t post these’ or something. I wonder what that could have meant?

PAST CLASSICS: Grizzly Mural, 2005

Man vs. nature has never looked so tight in this bold, silhouetted, basement-level masterpiece. Part rochart test…part obvious illustration of man, gun, beast and cigarette.

PAST CLASSICS: H Bump

PAST CLASSICS: ‘Ghosts of Ourselves Guide Us from the Future in Order to Stay on Top’

PAST CLASSICS: Purple Squint-Scoff ‘05

PAST CLASSICS: HR-Loween, 2003

‘For the 9th straight year, Team Hurley chooses ‘hobos’ among a densely populated list of far more promising Halloween costumes.’

A ‘Game Faces’ calendar classic. Now subtly colorized for maximum hilarity.

PAST CLASSICS: Intimidation Factor

Sometimes there is no reason to learn a sport when you can simply intimidate your way to victory without actually having to compete. Kyle demonstrates his famous ‘tennis pose,’ which led him to an undefeated ranking in 2001.
