You gotta love Scott at laughingsquid for curating the best .000000023 percent of the information super highway. Could you ask for finer entertainment then people narrowly averting death? It’s like that horrible “Faces of Death” that I watched as a teenager (and would later watch The Muppets to decompress). Only it’s all gonna be just fine…
But the techno music is enough to make our brow sweat. Deep breath. Think of the Swedish Chef.
In this video, “Bike Theft Stunt,” field reporter for Fox station loses her cool when guy cuts finger trying to saw a bicycle lock. This is supposed to be Jodi Applegate, but I just spent 15 minutes on Google trying to verify that by coupling her name with bike, bicycle, lock, prank, ruse… nothing. Wait……
I learned some time ago that online video viewers aren’t the most discerning bunch. When Charles Trippy and I created a fake feud, many viewers fell “hook, line and sinker” for the drama (in which we pretended to give out each other’s cell phone numbers, which were actually numbers to the “rejection hotline.”) Here’s my…
TubeMogul reports on the short shelf life of online videos (courtesy of ReelPopBlog). While it’s true that 25% of video’s views tend to occur within the first 4 days, this is a bit missleading. First, TubeMogul focused on videos exceeding 1,000 views and the website is used more by serious content creators looking for broad distribution. Second,…
Wowzer how about the peaks and valleys of online video in the past year. I had a peek at Alexa.com to see how some of the smaller independent online-video sites are holding up. Not too well based on traffic. A caveat: Alexa does not capture visitors precisely, or count the embedded views. So these pictures…
Pharrell Williams Happy music video plagiarized Anne Marsen’s dancing video as seen on Vimeo in 2011.
One in four people (25%) of Americans have uploaded a video, according to a recent Pew Research report. That’s driven by two factors: Mobile — more than 40% of us record video on our cell phones and 40% watch videos on our tiny screens. Social media uptick going from 8% in 2005 to 72%…

I’ve heard The Dentist is a good movie. You should watch it and its sequel before you get your root canal in a couple of days.
@Alexis:
Or “Marathon Man”
After watching that I need a Xanax and to take a dump.
I feel like it’s probably bad for humanity and society that those train jumpers all lived.
The one at 7:26 happened to me and my pal Al at an Arby’s only we were sitting when the car crashed in.
P.S.
I liked the techno.
Wait Marquis- let me get this straight. You were sitting at Arby’s and a car crashed…. and the limo and the call girls and drugs and poverty and homeless and a twisted familia. Dude you’re stronger than the weeds in my backyard, but I’d bet you’d be more interesting to smoke.
I AM an ironweed!
I believe I put up still pictures I took of the car in the Arby’s kitchen and dining room a couple of years ago. On Flikr I think. I’ll look it up.
Okay, I posted one of the Arby death escape on my Facebook profile if anybody wants to see it.
I assumed there would be some music seemingly designed specifically to ruin a perfectly good video and hit the mute button first up. With the sound down it’s great- though there were moments of sadness when people who clearly deserved to die….lived. But that’s nitpicking on my part!
I swear the majority of these idiots are playing chicken with the train. Those aren’t near misses they are near hits!
Oh, BTW. My name is James Jarvis.
