Courtesy of the MediaMoGirl blog, I give you one of the funniest timely satires I’ever . It’s a “Lost Seinfeld Episode” done by National Lampoon. This parody video combines classic Seinfeld clips with actual footage of Michael Richards’ rascist rant at the Laugh Factory. It also includes some of the Letterman appearance. I can’t imagine…
MadV— the masked street magician who does tricks to hip-hop music — is back after a 6-month hiatus with “One World.” The video invites YouTubers to respond with something written on their hands. MadV was on several video sites (and once dominated the “most popular” section of Revver for weeks), and then vanished because of…

Google isn’t running many ads on its videos so I know they didn’t make a mint on the content. But let’s do some “back of envelope” math….

But as the business matures, it’s highly possible that — just like television and film — writers will write and video people will produce. How long before they collaborate, and how will they…
I may not make the best videos on the web, but I’ve got a psychic power emerging. I make a video spoof of something and it comes real. I’m the friggin’ “Harold and the Purple Crayon” of online videos. This has happened a few times… the most significant one was when I created Crackberry Blackberry…
Check out the shorts at Invisible Engine. It won The People’s Choice Award at the Vloggies according to Revver’s blog. Buncha Cunch is a spoof of a cereal ad, and features disturbing but humorous moments.
