Has-Been YouTuber Desperate Grasps for Attention: Pole Dancing, Eating Worm
I’m all about dignity today, folks. From this video on HBOLabs’ “Hooking Up” to my “Ear Worm” (now called MySpace because Jan said it would make it more popular).

Sparked by an Ashton Kutcher tweet moments ago, a new video featuring OK Go’s “This Too Shall Pass,” music video became viral in the coming weeks on YouTube. The video, currently seen fewer than 50,000 times, is projected to surpass 1 million views by March 14. The director, James Frost, told WillVideoForFood he expects by…
This is fantastic, and worth waiting for the climax (as well as the teaser for future news at the end). The Onion reigns supreme.
Direct-response television (TV ads that have a “call to action”) aren’t new. But I did have a chance to hear about best-practices on DR-TV and they struck me as awfully similar to some of the online-video entertainment best practices. Example: Immediate Appearance of Response Mechanism (start your video with a compelling clip) Response Mechanism Duration…
So there’s a galary of amateur videos (consumer-generated advertising) posted on Doritos’ UK website, including this classic Davideo hit. He’s the UK creator of the exploding Diet Pepsi Mentos girl, and one of my favorites in the use of abstract video animation (so be sure to rate it if “five sizzling chips” if you like…
I’m a bit late on my online-video predictions for 2010 (unless you count this December post). The landscape continues to change, and it seems the world has been slow to catch up with my 2008 and 2009 predictions. Heck I even made a video in 2006 predicting 2007. Here’s what I’m seeing in Online Video…

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. Woobwoobwoobwoobwoob. Hey Moe!
Ear worm actually grosses me out, and I kissed a dead deer carcus.
You know, parasitic worms were all the rage a month ago. It was like, #4 on google trends once when I checked it.
You should just name it whatever the top most searched term is on google trends each day. That’ll get ya views. If you change it right now to “The Oxford project”, you still might even be able to milk a few more views out of it…whatever The Oxford project even means.
@3 nothing garlic can’t cure.
By popular demand I’ll bring the funny over here. So Kevin in hooking up they just let you do what you do everyday in the bathroom at home?
I knew the joke was coming and I might have been more amused if the guy holding the camera had put it on a tripod. Good ending, I do like you and Buck more than the others. Now when do we see nutcheese?
I hate it when people use twitter to promote their videos. It’s so annoying. Twitter is about the sheer joy of saying the craziest thing you can think of in less than 140 characters. It’s almost an art form. People who whore themselves out on twitter just ruin the ambiance of the medium.
P.S. Nice pole dancing. I like professor Klein. You need to steal that character from the show and make it a part of your regular channel.
ewww! Prof. Klein has a camel-toe!
Ear Worm grossed me out.
That’s all I have time for right now.
All the hater comments that your prompt in the sidebar of the worms video instigated have made my day. They’ve also been interfering with me finishing my college work. So thanks.
Hey, does anyone want my last taco and potato ole’s? Up till a moment ago I was pretty excited about Taco Tuesday, but surprisingly I’ve lost my appetite.
…stupid Hooked Up Video.
the title keeps growing, like a worm!
Just a little alert to all your loyal readers, that there will be a Facebook event on October 21 called “International Talk Like Sarah Palin Day.”
I’d sign up, except I’m afraida the consequences to the participants if she DOES get into office. For starters, she’ll order their bosses to fire them. That’s just for starters.

I actually think she’s more likely to hunt us down in blackhawk helicopters and shoot us with her big ol’ hunting rifle or shotgun or bow and arrow or whatever it is she uses to hunt moose. Or just have the blackhawk strafe us, and to hell with the collateral damage!
Hey! It’s a good source of protein!
New motto “Worms it’s for Dinner”
@9
I live in Minnesota. Every day is talk like Palin Day.
You betcha.
Oh yahh! Uh huh uh huh. 4 years of Palin will be like 4 years of watching ‘Fargo’.
@15,
When I lived in Nebraska, the “Telemarketing capital of the world*” so named because of the many firms that use Nebraskans’ clean accent-free English for telemarketing, that may have bothered me. After four years up here, I can’t contemplate why it’s a big deal. I hardly realized she had an accent until Nalts made the drag video with the worlds worst accent.
*-Outside of India, of course
@the eating worms video
that is probably the second most disgusting thing I’ve seen today.
you don’t want to know what the most disgusting thing I’ve seen today is.
