Farting will ALWAYS be funny, no matter WHO you are!!!

^_^

Entertaining bored cube workers? Like me? I don’t even have a cube – but CubeBreak.com is now one of my favorites. And this blog is hilarious. Let me know when your book is available. BTW, how do you find time for all these after work and family activities? I’m truly impressed!

8 Amanda O. April 4, 2007 at 10:25 am

Hey Nalts,

Much love from the woman who’s office is next door to the trucker’s bathroom!

14 Wisegeorge April 9, 2007 at 3:39 pm

Oh man Nalts, now I realize why one out of five Austin bands I request permission to record give me a dirty look and say NO!!
I don’t know which is worse, those who reject my purely altruistic efforts or the ones who tell me about every gig they have booked for the next three months in hopes that I’ll show up with my camera in hand and feed the tip bucket. My wife commented just yesterday that all I have succeeded in doing is getting people to boss me around for free. I don’t think she likes the competition.

hey guys, does spencer have instant messenger or some sort of email address, id love to talk to him about his stunts, and get to know him a lil better. badge

I like the one with both of you.

18 olly May 18, 2007 at 1:07 pm

Hey Nalts, I am an idealistic pre-pubescent with a heart of gold. Your whimsome videos set my soul aflutter! Truly this is the modern-day Peter Pan, the hero to lead us all in the fight against the innocence-robbing, soul-crushing laws of accepted adult behavior

then I realized that you’re some kind of salesman advertsing dude who does commercials for mentos and is only in it for the money and I said momy my soul just broke

sincerely
lil’ olly

19 Nameless May 18, 2007 at 3:37 pm

Hey Nalts,
You are an inspiration in my life. Every day while I am at school I think of suicide, but then I think of what new stupidly funny yet entertaining video you will have posted next. You are my hero

From the one with no name,
~Nameless

20 taylor May 21, 2007 at 1:56 am

Nalts, Nalts, I know it’s not your fault… but you’re awesome. Thanks for all the entertainment, commercial or otherwise. If you ever need an online extra for a video, hit me up, I love collaborations.

25 Hannah June 24, 2007 at 1:33 pm

28 Jake Leonard July 2, 2007 at 5:46 pm

Kevin, you also need to put on the blog that you are an Assistant Editor for Politics & YouTube In Review.

29 yuval July 4, 2007 at 3:19 am

hello from israel
like your videos
you should come visit here sometime .

30 Marquisdejolie July 4, 2007 at 10:01 am

Reminds me somehow of “The Incredible World of Horace Ford”

31 Mattie July 6, 2007 at 12:24 am

Hello Nalts,

Hello Nalts,

Your videos have become very inspirational for me. I studied film in school and it’s been hard to maintain the same flare and drive. I can see that there’s a lot more going on in your videos than meets the eye; you’ve unleashed a new form of video-art, broken down stereotypes of what “adults” should be, and made the world a better place with some of the most hysterical extravaganzas on the internet.

Keep up the great work! I look forward to each new video and will always cherish the classics!

I think you should do a viral video about viruses doing videos.

35 SmileyD September 19, 2007 at 12:00 pm

Kevin:

Call me so we can discuss the contest we’ve been talking about. I sent you a message on your YouTube email.

36 Jeremy October 31, 2007 at 12:50 pm

Hi Nalts,

I enjoy your videos very much, I like content based on great ideas more than big production budgets. I’m a founder of an online video sharing company something like Metacafe.com (but much cooler) which will be privately releasing next month. My site’s content will only feature the coolest and best quality user generated videos and I would like to invite some of yours to be added. We give you $5/1,000 views like Metacafe, so you will get compensation for your cool work. I will invite you to my company’s private beta testing next month so look for an email, it will be great to have you and your videos in front of my viewer audience. Let me know what you think Nalts, keep up the great work, and I look forward to your future videos.

37 Devin November 22, 2007 at 4:02 pm

Hey Kevin!

Your videos rock! Always give me a good laugh!

38 Furnifur November 29, 2007 at 1:27 am

So the more hits your blog gets what…the more popular it is?

39 anonymous December 17, 2007 at 10:18 am

“Farting in Public”

hi, i am a professional video editor /producer /director.
since youtube is going to its limit to make sure i never get an account.
i just figured i would suggest a remake of the “Farting in Public” bit

this time go out and buy some “fart spray” at your local mall , wow dollar store
or some kind of magic shop. have the kid spray it right after the sounds
and you should get twice as much of an reaction.

40 Kevin Hammond December 23, 2007 at 5:52 pm

Bullshit: “Consumer Product Director at a Fortune 100 Company”

Google your name and that title and you get 12 hits. My guess is “Unemployed Fast Food Worker Stealing WiFi from a Neighbor”

How pathetic.

41 Heidi December 29, 2007 at 1:33 pm

I actually found a working version of Android Demo or Gphone… what ever it’s called. It’s just like the video, but ads are being popped on a live telephone call.

Nalts – please make another video or version 2.0 using a working version! Calls can be placed from blog.heycosmo.com

42 Matt February 4, 2008 at 9:29 pm

New video contest just launched @ http://www.fuelthechange.com – $10K grand prize; $5K viewers choice prize; or three $1250 prizes PLUS a chance to get aired, or discovered/recognized ;) , during the 2008 Indy 500 on ABC in May… seems like a great opportunity for folks like yourself.

We look forward to seeing your creative submissions soon!

You have a great site. Its been very helpful. Nice work! Do you have any interest in sponsoring my feature film Valley of the Sun. Sponsorships start at $150. We currently send about 35 visitors a month to our sponsors’ websites. Visit http://www.valleyofthesunthemovie.com/

45 Richalvarez from www.youtube.com/richalvarez February 12, 2008 at 4:31 am

Sup Nalts, I know your busy, and don’t have time to respond to every message you get on you tube, so i thought you’d have a better chance of seeing it here. You probably don’t remember me, but i made a movie a while back of me and my two friends getting chased by a monster lawn mower. Well that video never became viral. Anyways we have been hard at work on a new series called “Stupid Mario Brothers” and it is doing a lot better. Episode 1 got over 7,000 views in four weeks, which is good for me lol. Anyways just thought maybe you could check them out and help spread the word if you like them. Episode seems really dumb now compared to episode 5, so maybe check that out first lol. – Richalvarez

46 Richalvarez February 13, 2008 at 1:45 am

Thanks man for checking out and comenting on my video, maybe we can callab sometimes? lol

47 Luke Elwell March 24, 2008 at 5:54 am

Any chance you’ll be making any new website movements like saveoldmedia.com? i’d love it if you could get me involved with making an actual site to string the belief along a bit more ? tell me what you think. You can find me on youtube http://www.youtube.com/enterskywalker . I get featured quite a bit on http://www.dailymotion.com/uk . Hope to hear from you soon

Hello,
 
*This isn’t Spam, Not a Virus, Won’t Steal Your Kidney, Not Trying to Give You Money from a Dead Nigerian Uncle…*
 
Just looking for some help sharing our work.
 
I’m working on a creative project at the design agency RED and we’ve produced a series of funny webisodes about the rise and fall of one of America’s greatest sports mascots.  The videos are funny (well, we think so) and we want to get them out there to an audience who might enjoy the entertainment.  The webisodes feature some pretty cool digital animations.
 
There are three episodes that will launch over the next several days. The first episode launched on Break.com this morning:
http://view.break.com/480725
 
You can learn more at: http://www.bethebone.com
 
Would love to hear your thoughts and happy to answer any questions.
 
Cheers,
Nicole

GET YOUR KIDS A GLOBAL LAUNCH INTO BUSINESS

Hi Kevin,

We are running a video competition, and in Googling to see how many social bookmarking sites have picked it up, I came across an old blog post of yours – 10 tips for video competitions. Fortunately we are a family business and can’t afford to make most of the mistakes you mention!

Anyway, just thought I’d let you know in case you’d like to enter.

Short version: writing a book to raise money for microfinance charity, topic of book – raising financially independent kids. We will be profiling seven young entrepreneurs, five big names (like Ben Casnocha) and the two winners of our YouTube video competition.

Video to be 2 minutes or less, on YouTube, tagged “cash smart kids”.

Competition details at:
http://raisingentrepreneurs.org/blog/2008/04/07/kids-in-business-cash-smart-kids-youtube-video-competition/

Runners up will be listed in the book with the URL of their website (if they have one), and featured in the marketing activity around the book launch. Publicity plus!

I am now heading off to my blog to do a follow-up post advising everyone entering the competition to come over here and read your blog for tips!

This is such fun ….
