Sophia (aka Mugglesam) goes to a Canadian Internet conference and meets the viral video genius. So fascinating to relive this day through the eyes of a shorter child than me.
And if you’re marketing to kids or parents, help me understand why you wouldn’t make Sophia your spokeperson. Because otherwise she might be a tractor when she grows up.
What do you need to know about online video for 2016? Here’s a convenient “round up” for your viewing pleasure. Mobilization. Mobile advertising is growing 66% and desktop is just 5 percent. What’s interesting to me is that 36% of our time is spent on TV, and 39% of the ad spending is there. But…
You’re running a brand that is trying to “dip your toe” into social media and online video, and you’re facing some important questions: Is my brand right for this? How can I experiment without ending up as a “case study” failure? Can I convince my company that we should do this? What are my options…
Thumbs up to these gals for their amateur but brilliant Katie Perry satire of California Girls. It’s “Staten Island Girls,” and deliciously skanky and humorous depiction of New Jersey. Just 5 years ago these gals would have been able to share this with their friends, but now the whole world gets to giggle. Oh wait….
Years ago, when I was on a YouTube tear, I was posting daily videos. Most people discouraged this behavior, arguing that I should focus on quality not quantity. While both are important, I’ve let frequency suffer in pursuit of the elusive “good” video that people would share and view. After Trippy’s wedding I decided to…
It’s official. I’m getting a hair transplant on Monday, Aug. 17 with one of the leading physicians in the field! If you’d like to watch part of it live, Alan (fallofautumndistro) will be MCing a 30-minute session from 12:30-1:00 at this blogv.com location. I’m writing my book about online-video marketing (likely publishing with Wiley) and…
It never seizes to amaze me the “street cred” I get for being the knife in Annoying Orange. Grant, my parts are small with the exception of my debut (No More Mister Knife Guy). My “Mommy and Me” part was especially brief, but at least Wifeofnalts made her debut on the series. Now let’s take…

Hm.
Jenn is here in San Francisco and we absolutely loved this video! Kevin was so silly went he fell off the stage. *giggles*
Kelley is a bad influence on me.
I am just the victim dammit!
Victim of your own demise, Kelley!!
Don’t be mean to me because I am sensitive and thought that video was precious.
I’m calling your bluff.
How could I lie? I went to Mass last week ya know.
You didn’t even genuflect! NOR did you go to confession. Therefore, your mass visit…is nothing but a walk in the park.
Don’t mock my ignorance… BITCH!
FINE! I retreat. GOSH! Asshat…
That was too easy. I need to use that Mass excuse more often. Oh wait… would that mean I would need to go more than one time or can I keep saying “but I went to Mass”?
You’re right. That statement does not make sense.
Wait a sec… I didn’t write anything about that making sense or not.
Yo. Dumbass. You’re sitting right next to me and just verbalized it to me.
PAY ATTENTION!!!!
Convert to Southern Baptist and you can deny everything. No need for confession if you’re always sinless. Save gas. No Mass.
It’s amazing to me how much fun you guys can have without even drinking a single drop of alcohol. I mean kelley and jenn, that is.
Hm. (thus ending the cycle)
I would never employ as a babysitter to my kids someone who says words like “asshat” and “dumbass.”
Oh, wait. I already have. Never mind.
I just farted.
Sophia is absolutely adorable, and I can think of no reason to not have her as your spokesperson. Great video MuggleSam!
I am so disturbed on so many levels right now
1. Sophia is a cutie! Loved the part when she ran up to Kev, you could tell she was smitten.
2. Nutcheese went to mass? *thump* (xjgx just fainted)
What a cute video. Sophia is, as usual, adorable.
Jenn and Kelley, if you are sitting next to each other, I have an idea; why not talk directly to each other instead of through the blog.
And Nalts, who’s watching the kids while you are in Philly?
I like butter.
What a cool video.
aw what a cutie,
but I heard she’s mean when drunk
“but I heard she’s mean when drunk”
But not as bad as Pearl, the landlord.

yeah, Sophia is one of those Grace Kelly kind of sophisticated drunks, not mean white trash like Pearl.
I think this blog just went from PG13 to NC17 and suspect we’ll all be getting calls [click] from the Texas Social Services shortly.
If you think the Latter Days are clique-ish, you should check out the Southern Baptists and Snake Handlers churches we have in east Texas! Wednesday is Bring A Snake To Service Night. (Thursday is Closet Drinking Night)
Where’d all you cheeseheads go?
Off making cheesy videos I guess;)
I know I am.
I’m out of commission for the next week. My cam is in Tokyo with my wife right now. No Cheesy vids anytime soon. 😉
Ah, Tokyo: New York with bullet trains and Shinto shrines in the alleys.
I missed YoTube and am in a mild depression.
Cheer up, Marilyn. It could’ve been something important.
Marilyn,
I am so sorry you are feeling depressed about missing yotube. I wish I could do something to make you feel better.
Oh by the way, did I mention that Kevin called me from the hotel room to tell me that everybody missed me?
Love and Kisses
sukatra
Sukatara, nice to see that you are still a bastard. sub4sub?
Oh jimmer, you have no idea how happy you’ve made me. I have never been called a bastard before, and until now didn’t realize how much I really wanted that title. I can feel my balls doubling in size even as I write this.
I sport that moniker myself. I like to wear it with oak clusters. ;p
Sukatra:
Did he really? Just had to rub salt in the wound, huh?
I left on comment on one of his videos saying I was sorry I missed it. Kevin’s reply? “Well I had a nice time visiting with you until I realized that Marianne and you aren’t the same person. “
Marilyn – he did. could have knocked me over with a feather. And yes, I had to rub salt in the wound. but look at it this way. It could have been worse. I could have poured a big old bottle of rubbing alcohol on it. Or just hit you over the head with a machete.
I saw him make a reference to a marianne in something this weekend and had a feeling he was mistaking that person for you – guess I was right!
I am so fcukin’ lost in here, I mean there are so many places to comment……What should I say? What should I do? Will this become a part of my permanent record? Do you really think I give a fcuk?
Wow who would’ thought psych meds and I am relatively balanced in my insanity!
YOTube was awesome. I got a very special memento from Kevin. Well, he left it sitting at the park sooooo it just kind of ended up in my trunk. And no it isn’t Jo.
^ did he forget one of the kids? again?!
That was ChristopherMast that left Charlie at Dairy Queen.
Hey Rey! How ya doing? I hear that it’s all your fault that Kelley and sukatra didn’t go to YoTube. Which is partially why I didn’t go. That and I couldn’t convince my friend that I was going to drive with that it was worth a four hour drive.
Anybody want to come to Albany for a YouTube meet-up? I know some people call it Smalbany, but it’s not really that bad. We have a cool-looking state government complex (http://www.ogs.state.ny.us/visiting/cultural/defaultPlaza.html) and our new nickname is Tech Valley.
C’mon down to Uncertain, Texas. We’ve got a cool-lookin’ swamp.
Tech Valley sounds like the kind of name a place gives to itself when it’s trying to attract tech jobs to the area. Good Luck with that one.
Actually, we have a fairly booming tech business here these days. Albany College of Nanoscience is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest colleges of nanoscience. And AMD is building a chip fab plant here. And Semitech just moved here. Plus we have Vicarious Visions, the software company that makes the Tony Hawk video games, among others. So, yeah, we really ARE Tech Valley.
