Landlord Pearl now plays Lieutenant Pearl in the latest FunnyorDie video featuring Will Ferrell. It’s called “Good Cop, Baby Copy,” but it’s unfortunately her last video. FunnyorDie is a collaboration between Will Ferrell and Adam McKay (who directed Ferrell in “Anchorman,” and “Talladega Nights” and wrote for him for “Saturday Night Live”). Michael Kvamme, a partner at…
Thinking of switching genders? Ask your doctor about Femedone (see video). Thank goodness we didn’t accidentally call it Femidone, which is apparently a female condom. This goes to show… be careful about taking other people’s prescription drugs. I’ve been on business travel and vacation, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to wake…
Well I’m so glad Google Maps is in the news raising new privacy concerns (see article). Time for a second wave of publicity for Google Buttcrack (a video I did about a year ago, which has been my strongest earner on Metacafe). For more see this post by jischinger (an active WillVideoforFooder).
NYC on “7.7.7” is shaping up to be the largest ever online-video meetup. I’m basing that on roughly 300 registrations on the horrendously ugly but informative www.youtubemeetup.com. And the YouTube gathering in San Fran attracted several hundred people with just 2 week’s notice. YouTubers will converge upon Washington Square Park from 11-8 p.m. on July 7,…
Here’s the episode of me on iChannel. I play myself pretending to be the much-anticipated Mitch Morley character. I begged the team for a role because I think this show is an excellent example of a fundamental shift it entertainment:Low budget, great script and audience participation (I’m a klutz but the other guys have day jobs…
I was passed over for YouTube’s ad-sharing “partner” program, so it’s time for more product placement videos. For $1K-$5K, Nalts will make a custom video that will appear on his popular YouTube channel and other online video sites. For details, see this video where Nalts “the video creator” debates Kevin Nalts the marketer. How does…
Online-video has rules, and I’ve broken one. And I don’t care. A while back two YouTubers (myself and CharlesTrippy) did a fake feud on YouTube that created something of a backlash. Our loyal subscribers were outraged that Charles and I would give out each other’s cell phones to torment the other (see Charles’ video, then…
We creators don’t take offense to poor ratings. But sometimes our body parts do. Watch in horror as this video creator’s hand removes itself and pursues revenge on someone who ranked its owner’s video poorly. This type of reaction is fairly typical of users of Metacafe, since ratings determine a video’s eligibility into the profitable…
When my “Bored at Mall” was featured on Break.com I was reminded how much people like real reactions to staged situations. It’s what made Candid Camera, Punked and “Trigger Happy TV.” This weekend we did two similar videos, which are currently topping the list of most discussed and highest rated comedies on YouTube (see image…
Academy Award Winning Viral Creator, Davideo Designs, today released its latest creation called “Pandering for World Domination.” Davideo actually hasn’t won an Academy Award because the stuffy academy is still to friggin’ artistic for viral shorts. Maybe the Golden Globes? Oh they’re music, aren’t they? In any event, I can’t say I endorse or understand…
