How does a guy (Brett the Intern) with 778 subscribers solicit some of the top YouTubers to be in his collaboration? Persistence, patience and a pretty funny script. This video includes cameos by: DaveDays: http://www.youtube.com/davedays ItsBrent: http://www.youtube.com/itsbrent ShayCarl: http://www.youtube.com/shaycarl WhatTheBuck: http://www.youtube.com/whatthebuck (and me)
I’m Fred’s dad (see video), and I didn’t know until I’d read Daisy Whitney’s Twitter that Fred is appearing on Nickelodian’s iCarly. I’m pretty sure iCarly is not the same person as Hanna Montana but she may be Miley Cyrus. In any event, the Internet squeeky-voice YouTube viral sensation already shot his part of the…
What do you get when you mash Sarah Silverman’s “I’m F’ing Matt Damon” with this recent AP News clip of Matt Damon droning about Sarah Palin’s character? This little video musica I’m calling “Sarah Palin is F’ing Matt Damon.” If you like it, it’s mine. If you were offended as a God-fearing Democrat or Republican,…

If the folks at Twinkie sent me a crate of these timeless snack foods I’d make them part of my banner, and totally demote the piece of cheese. This is in honor of Jan, for her patience and persistence.
Don’t get depressed about the economy folks. Even wrecklessly stupid brands are squeezing old-media spending in favor of paid search, targeted interactive advertising, and … yes… even online video.
