Viral Video Reports from Grave: Still Dead

November 18, 2009

nalts media whitney nalty huffington post
Just when I was feeling mortal for falling off the top 100 most-subscribed YouTube partner list (a fact that ZackScott and PeterCoffin felt compelled to remind me via voicemail), I scored placement on Huffington Post via the lovely and talented Daisy Whitney.

Check out this report from iMediaConnection in Vegas (or LA or SanFran, I’m not really sure), and thanks to Jan for alerting me… she’s constantly validating her top listing on the blogroll below!

You’ll see me dart past during her intro, and the camera work was by the cool and passionate Mike Donnelly from Coke. Please keep your comments focused on her hair, and not about the heady items we discuss.

And Zack and Peter you can suck it because I’m back at 99 on the list, beeatches.

You are #99 most viewed all time too. You used to make up in quantity what you sometimes lack in quality, but ironically since leaving Merck you’ve been posting videos less and less.

You have people on Twitter requesting prank videos:
“frogking55: @nalts im begging you to make a new prank video, it’s been so long my brother-from-another-mother <3"

I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening because I was mesmerized by Daisy’s big teeth and beaky nose.

3 Marilyn November 18, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Kevin still has a crush on Daisy.

And, oddly enough, I agree with Alexis. The number of your videos has decreased since leaving Merck. C’mon, Kevin, get on the ball and make more videos!

Where’s sukatra, BTW?

5 Alexis November 18, 2009 at 4:52 pm

@4

Quoth @nalts:
“Do not panic. Sukatra surfaced. No web connection, but she left me a critical message. I’m a tool.”

she he it ya know I don’t even car anymore
sexual ambiguity is in, just ask lady gaga.
I’m always ahead of the trends
it’s a curse

but I agree Kevin needs to make a couple of new vids using the tried and true recipe. unless…

Is Nalts mocking her hand gestures at 0:22 to 0:25?

9 Paul Rodenburg November 18, 2009 at 7:20 pm

Don’t call it a come back, Nalts been here for years. ;)

10 NutCheese November 19, 2009 at 12:49 am

Marilyn… I was talking to Sukatra on the phone the other day and she asked about the WVFF crew and I was telling her about the issue Alexis has with pooping only 2 times a week. Let’s just say Alexis should be thankful she hasn’t been around. He better not get to comfortable though because she’ll be back.

Okay, this Brightcove-hosted video streamed SO MUCH MORE smoothly than the hurky-jerky, stop & start, jitterbuggy, poorly-streamed Youtube-hosted videos. So much smoother. Very very much smoother. Noticeably so.

AAACK!

14 marquisdejolie November 19, 2009 at 1:12 am

AAAAAAAAACK!!! Technology is conspiring to make me look STOOOOOOPID!

15 Alexis November 19, 2009 at 1:34 am

@10 I think I’m probably up to 3 times per week now if that makes you feel any better. I’m looking forward to getting to know this Sukatra person better; she seems interesting based on what I do know about her already.

@11&12 It’s hardly surprising how much better a company can deliver video when they filter out so much amateur garbage by charging $99/mo (minimum). Did you notice that YouTube is introducing 1080p HD video? As if they’re not bogged down enough with the 720p HD video…

16 marquisdejolie November 19, 2009 at 1:37 am

1080? What for? What’s their malfunction?

17 Alexis November 19, 2009 at 1:52 am

@16 I don’t know if you are being serious or not, so I’ll pretend you are. 1080 refers to the resolution (1920×1080), ‘p’ for progressive (as opposed to interlaced).

Wikipedia it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

Which reminds me…
Kevin, you should probably use progressive for online video. You get annoying artifacts when you slow down interlaced video (like in your Amazing Kitten! video around 2:38 — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnRwCMGBaCU )

18 marquisdejolie November 19, 2009 at 2:25 am

Artifacts? I’ll give you artifacts. Like this one. Pre-cheese collab. Hey Kevin, remember “The Jingle Vlog Social Experiment?”

I need to just start leaving voice mails about anything and everything. AudioBlogging on your voicemail.

This, by the way, most likely won’t happen because I laugh about this kind of thing for a few minutes and then don’t do it because it’s work.

22 Matthew Galvin November 20, 2009 at 2:02 pm

How about if Nalts starts outsourcing his video production to India.
C’mon – everyone is offshoring these days.
I’m thinking “farting in public (the juicy curry edition)” or “I are a cute monkey”

23 marquisdejolie November 20, 2009 at 7:57 pm

@22 Mathew:
I think you’re onto something there. An Indian Nalts. Interesting.

24 marquisdejolie November 20, 2009 at 10:25 pm
25 Reubnick November 21, 2009 at 3:12 pm

Nalts, I have to say that I am quite the fan of the thumbnail for that video.

and who is Alexis? Have I missed something recently in the comments section on here? I haven’t been paying as much attention as usual.

26 Alexis November 21, 2009 at 4:18 pm

Nalts, it looks like you’ve fallen off the top 100 most subscribed partners list again. You’ve also slipped to #100 on the most viewed all time list.

@25 I am Alexis. Ph34r m3!!1!

27 Reubnick November 21, 2009 at 5:10 pm

oh, I see. Alexis, you are the least intimidating person of all time?

No, I’m just kidding. I just hope you don’t actually want me to fear you, though, because that won’t ever happen with leet speak.

28 marquisdejolie November 21, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Wait. Are those eyebrows painted on, Kevin?

29 LVCI November 22, 2009 at 12:34 pm

Did you blow an opportunity? I was looking for the infamous “Nalts” mug in your hand.

So your saying, you throw enough crap around and some of it actually sticks?
:-)

30 marquisdejolie November 27, 2009 at 9:23 pm

Hey Kevin, how come you aren’t sending your kids up in balloons or crashing White House parties?

31 marquisdejolie November 29, 2009 at 2:50 am

Do your famous Buffalo Bill impression, Kev!
