And in round 256 of WillVideoForFood’s “Amateur Versus Professional Content,” Ashton Kutcher’s BlahGirls goes to battle with YouTube’s Clip Critics.
The boxers take their positions for what’s sure to be the battle of the… oh, dang.
BlahGirls is down for the count. And the trophy goes to Clip Critics!
She was just a girl watching trailers. He was a country boy looking to go viral. But now…
YouTube has been recently experimenting with a wealth of new ad units that go far beyond the adjacent display ads or lower-screen “InVideo” ads that sneak up. While pre-rolls are still rampant, the variety and quality of the creative is making them more bearable and effective. Here are some examples, and I’ve seen my own revenue per…
Parody of sex spam
Thanks YouTube for giving us the ability to link directly to a portion of a video. TechCrunch reports that it’s this easy: Just add the following after the video’s URL: #t=1m45s (where the number prior to m is minute, and before s is seconds). So let’s take my most popular video, which has a long…
Al Gore has had an invention drought since he created the Internet’s tubes and pipes. But he’s back with Current TV. Current has been just out my peripheral vision until I saw its booth at the Independent Feature Project (IFP) event yesterday. Then Techcrunch today reported on Current’s partnership with Yahoo. If your video is…
What happens when you give funny car junkies (who happen to have their own television show called “Gear Head” on the BBC) the assignment to make a Volkswagen ad? The videos below show the completed ads (and this controversy is months old, but wonderfully new to me). This series of ads is so wonderfully offensive (and resulted…

Thats the way
Glad to see the Clip Critics getting some well deserved attention.
Capt.. Chuck & Zoran have created an excellent show that does indeed deliver a K.O. to crap like “Blah Girls”. It’s great that the pros (and semi-pros like Mr. Demi Moore) have more interest in the medium (see strike.tv and geminidivision – to name the most current) because this brings the money.
It’s just funny to see them getting schooled by the “amateurs”
I wanted to see the episode with chris hansen’s head that you included above. You pulled a bait and switch, kevin. Just remember.kevin, Karma’s a bitch.
And so am I!!!!!!! Had to say it before the rest of you chimed in.
Oh yeah, and the blahgirls thing was the dumbest video I’ve ever seen. Except for the part that said “spooning leads to forking.” Although I doubt that’s original.
I feel dumbed down.
That was lame…Clipcritics rule!
@3 I’m too lazy to Google Chris Hansen, but I’m guessing he’s a guy from Lost or a sports celebrity.
Okay- now I know Hansen. Dateline. That reminds me of when Katie Couric called me Nantz by accident because Jim Nantz was at this television event where YouTube got honored. Then I’m walking to my car, and this dude says “hey Nalts.” I told him I recognized him but was drawing a blank. He explained that he was Jim Nantz. I still feel like a total idiot whenever I hear his name. Like one of those things that makes you feel like a TOTAL idiot. Sorry, Mr. Nantz. Me no watchy sports.
never saw the blah girls, I think I’ll skip that one, but I do watch the clip critics, should I be admitting that?
What I like most is they get away with a lot of stuff most people can’t and their commentary is, hmm.. well, how do I say this, full of morals? but in a what-sa-matta-you kinda way.
Quit talking about me on your blog, you name-dropping attention whore!
What Katie said.
What Jim said.
I haven’t said anything yet, but if I did, it would have to be “What Chris Said”
