Brilliant parody of SNL Shorts and Andy Samberg from Landline.tv (who I found via barely political). It’s been out for three months, but I just discovered it. The weekly schedule is hysterical and it hooked me at “I’m not sure if it’s effort, or…”
My son and I were in Annie over the weekend, and I played Bert Healy, the host of the Oxydent Hour of Smiles. He sings “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” Yeah I bought a Barber Shop hat (Skimmer) but the director wanted me in this little baseball hat. The video is annotated to…
One of the most profitable areas of online-video is and will remain “how to.” For most subjects, the content is “evergreen” (not requiring frequent updates), it’s highly sought after, and gives advertisers a way to target consumers by specific interest. But how do you find the how-to video you need “just in time”? First, you…
Today is the first post-Superbowl day where people have easy universal access to all of the commercials. Do you suppose anyone is working today? YouTube is inviting people to rank their favorite Superbowl ads. What stood out for you? Someone submitted them all the Superbowl commercials to Metcafe as well. Now THAT’S some time on…
Some of the most-viewed YouTube “weblebrities” will gather with hundreds of people in the YouTube community, including video creators and viewers, professionals and stalkers.

Sure most BlueRay disc players have the ability to stream YouTube and other content. But it’s 2011. Walk away from anything that requires physical media and, gasp, has moving parts. Here are 8 plus ways to stream videos from the Interweb to that big-ass monitor your mama calls an HDTV. CNet reviews the collection, and…

Hmmm… this might make more sense if I had ever seen SNL.
Landline has made some REALLY funny shit, but this came off as someone who has seen “Like A Boss” and “Tizzle Wizzle Show,” is irritated (and possibly jealous) by their success.
But then again I don’t think parodying humor works well at all. All the Dane Cook hatred from other comedians came off badly to me. I am not a big fan of Cook, nor do I dislike him, but honestly something that isn’t dumbing itself down and isn’t a ripoff of anything – why make fun of it? What is it doing wrong?
The only time I’ve really seen attacks on humorists that I found funny were from people stealing other people’s ideas or content (Carlos Mencia).
Maybe it’s because I like The Lonely Island and absurdism/surrealism in general. I can’t tell you for sure, but it seems like attacking a group that went from being three idiots laughing about random stuff to being the most successful web comedians bar none, who make consistently laugh-worthy (depending on your taste) and well-produced content (on top of being pretty good pop musicians) isn’t the best thing in the world where web comedy still isn’t honestly “legit.”
This is not to say these guys aren’t funny, though. If you want a truly HILARIOUS video from Landline that is a completely GENIUS idea, hit up Dead Celebrity Ads at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLqM5XHaLw – I think this is one of the best things ever made.
