Dear, Brands. As a marketer and video creator, let me assure you that you don’t have to feel guilty about wanting a video creator to pimp your product. It will make them happy, and provide your brand an important entry to “consumer generated media.” So why aren’t you doing this already? You’re scared it will…
“Farting in Public” was just featured on the homepage of YouTube (thanks, editors!). This is my second time featured (last was for Viral Video Genius). So this is a brief post to explain WillVideoForFood.com to curious YouTubers. To read about “Farting in Public” and Spencer, visit this recent post. To see Spencer’s sequel watch “Ugly Caricatures.”…
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.

If you haven’t seen Pepsi Mentos Girl, then drop what you’re doing and visit his site immediately. Disturbing, funny and compelling content. Here’s Davideo’s page on…
I don’t believe I’ve ever laughed at a video as much in my life. Maybe it’s because I know Zack, but this video titled “The Car Wash” brought me to tears. Five minutes after watching it I was still laughing. You have to watch the whole thing. There are a few moments where you think…
The title to this post will be lost on anyone that’s not an Eddie Murphy fan. But there’s at least one reader who will get that. The Cap’n came to my defense like a big brother wrestling down a bully. Thank you readers for your help in fixing the Break.com situation. Seems I’m not the…
Just discovered Mobijokes.tv. The site features very short jokes that are acted out and shot in cinema-quality form. Fantastic production, and some very funny bits. Be sure to sign up so you know when new ones hit. This is the kind of thing that will explode as we start wanting to consume videos via the…
Today I went to New York City and convinced a gullible doorman that I was HappySlip‘s brother. I did get busted, but not before I was able to get some footage of her place, steal a stapler and sing a piece of her Mac Beautiful on her keyboard. Here’s her version of Mac Beautiful, but…
