World’s Stupidest Inventions
This really has nothing to do with online video, but it’s funny. Worst inventions ever FTW.

Last night I had the pleasure of dining with Filmmaker Chris Barrett, actor Efron Ramirez (best known for his role as Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite), YouTube Comic EdBassmaster, and Barret’s Publicist partner. Barrett and Ramirez had spoken to a group of underprivileged highschool students in Camden, NJ yesterday afternoon, and were doing a media circuit…
But in Improv Comedy You Can’t Edit Out the Unfunny
ByNalts
Last night I took my first improv class at UCB Theater (founded by Amy Poehler and others in 1996). Part of the “homework” is to see two performances before the class ends and we do a show on August 30. I’ve always been enchanted by improv comics, and was especially intrigued by a former co-worker…
IDoNothingAllDay and Revver Get National Coverage
ByNalts
This Wall Street Journal article gave Patrick Sell (creator of Idonothingallday) a dramatic spike in traffic to his website packed with short videos of beautiful women in NYC. Patrick has been doing this for a while, and he’s as humble as they come. Not what you’d expect in a voyeuristic video maker. Good press for…

AdAge Celebrates YouTube Sellouts
ByNalts
AdAge called out the biggest YouTube sellouts— those known for sponsored videos for top brands. Naturally my headline would have read “YouTube’s Most Prolific Sponsored Artists” had I been included in the list. For those of you whose nipples don’t get pointy when you hear words like “advertising, marketing, Mad Men, spot, creative brief, storyboards,…
Who’s Hot on YouTube? How Subscriptions and Views Can Lie.

Before I give you a marvelous collection of YouTube secrets, a quick aside. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company he keeps. Could it be said that a lot can be told about your blog by the search terms that brought people to it? Check out these classy terms…
Parsnip Soup by HomeStar Runner
ByNalts
It’s years old, but it’s still one of my favorite online videos. In “Sound-a-Vision,” watch Homestar runner and his enemy Strongbad have a duel to settle their battle over the remaining parsnips at the depot. It’s a wonderful homage to early films with bad edits, repetitive lines, missing scenes and awkward pauses.

That toilet putting green is brilliant!
OK, the beating breasts were just creepy, but what’s so stupid about a marshmallow shooter? It’s a classic cubical warfare toy.
The Peter Petrie Egg Separator, baby cage and Hubbard Screamometer were kinda creepy.
Youtube’s streaming really sucks the last 36 hours. Are they cutting corners? Saving bandwidth for the big boys? Trying to turn a fourth quarter profit?
@4 I haven’t noticed. Probably because my internet connection is being really slow lately.
My connection speed was a blistering 11 KB/sec earlier today.
I’d upgrade, but I’m locked in to whatever contract my apartment complex has with the Internet Service Provider.
I think the coolest invention is the Priarrius or the Ferrarius or whatever you want to call it in your latest video!
I think Jo needs one of those fake baseball cracked thru the window decals next!
I can’t believe people noticed the priarrius. The previous owner put those on. I kinda like ’em. 😉
Didn’t notice the Pruriasius, but DID see the Cryptocephalus. Cool!
I remember when Kevin shut down his Revver blog (Revverberation). It was just like this. He slowed down his posts. Then stopped. Then announced it “went dark” after he set up this one.
@9 Kind of sad isn’t it. His hair blog hasn’t been updated recently either (in fact, it’s been over a month).
His video uploads have slowed down significantly too. Remember when he would upload a video every time you poop? I don’t know about you, but I think I’ve probably pooped more than 5 times this month.
@10
Oh, I always uploaded twice as much as he ever did. He got more views, but I worked harder. I’ve uploaded nearly 2,000 videos (and deleted half of them, the worst ones). Kevin has always been laissez-faire about quantity. Remember his Get Fit channel? Nobody else does, either. Hahaha! No, if you wanna hear from Kevin these days, you gotta tweet him. Hey, it’s twick or tweet season….

@11 Of course I remember naltsgetsfit. Kevin seems to have forgotten about it though.
Well, like I said before, I’ve seen it before. First he was all Revver, all the time. Then he dropped that for the wider genre of viral video. Now he’s gone social networking. C’mon, Kevin, I know you’re working on a social networking feed out there somewhere, maybe in Pahrump.
