The best way to make The A.V. Club pay attention to your work is to create pop culture that intrigues us and holds our interest. The worst way is to send us some free crap in the mail. That never works—except during this one magical moment each year when the wishes of publicists everywhere are granted. That’s right, it’s The Year In Swag, a time to shine the spotlight on the best, worst, and weirdest promotional items that the poor FedEx guy hauled across our doorstep in 2013. Josh Modell and John Teti have culled some choice items to feature on video—in full color!—and you can read about even more free junk in our Year In Swag writeup. Plus, part two of our Year In Swag videos will appear tomorrow on the very web site you’re viewing right now. Convenient!
