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…
The folks at Room 403 Productions are seeking short (3 minutes or less) videos to be aired on primetime television. Named after a room in the Gloria Swanson Bldg on the Paramount’s lot, Room 403 Productions was founded by David Hurwitz and Paul Cockerill who met working on The Arsenio Hall Show.

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…
Here’s one man’s depiction of typical reactions to online videos (note- explicit language included). He spoofs the many moronic comments that videos attract. His parody is around some of the themes of Metacafe’s comment audience, but many of these are universal truths to video comments: That’s boring That’s fake You suck
According to the Associated Press via USAToday: YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley announced today that YouTube will start sharing revenue with its millions of users. “We are getting an audience large enough where we have an opportunity to support creativity, to foster creativity through sharing revenue with our users,” Hurley said at the World Economic Forum….
Blame it on Buns. Or Bravo. But Chou Chou (the loveable half of the Buns & Chou Chou duo featured on Rabbit Bites) is seeking therapy. Here breasts aren’t big enough. She’s not as sophisticated as Orange County, California is telling her she need be. In this video she is hypnotized, and finds more accessible…
