Has-Been YouTuber Desperate Grasps for Attention: Pole Dancing, Eating Worm
I’m all about dignity today, folks. From this video on HBOLabs’ “Hooking Up” to my “Ear Worm” (now called MySpace because Jan said it would make it more popular).

Oh it’s so rare when someone writes an intelligent article about online video (aka viral) marketing. And it’s pretty funny when you’ve never heard of the author but she happens to work for the digital agency you employ in your day job. Anyway, here’s “Strategies for Making Video Ads Go Viral,” by Christine Beardsell (Digitas)…
Alright, half of you want to talk about poop and farts, and really don’t care about online advertising. But I know a few of you digital marketing and online video lovers are RSSing this blog quietely. And I need your help. I’m drafting a really interesting piece that compares online-video promotion (not prerolls or overlays,…
Techcrunch announces that Warner Music Group will allow its music to be used in YouTube videos, but retain the right to yank it if it chooses. …the caveat that Warner will have effective veto power over videos using their music is particularly interesting. In effect it’s just a technological realization of the long standing policy…
Every few days someone asks me what video camera to buy. Unless I happen to be “in the market” I don’t track closely. But I do trust Consumer Reports, and just received an issue ranking the top camcorders. Note: My guide to buying a video camera can be found here. What Format: Mini DV, DVD,…
Arthur Blank, founder of Home Depot, once returned to my alma mater (Babson) and reminded his classmates that he had offered any of them stock in the company. He asked the crowd to raise his hand if they bought any, and indeed none of them had. Then he proceeded to tell them how much it…
This is so clever, and well executed. It’s a spoof of every moment of every trailer you’ve seen for Oscar-Award-Winning movie trailers. But it’s self aware. Thanks to George from YouTube for including it in his e-mail footer. Folks it’s content like this that makes the viewer in me very excited, and the creator hope…

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. Woobwoobwoobwoobwoob. Hey Moe!
Ear worm actually grosses me out, and I kissed a dead deer carcus.
You know, parasitic worms were all the rage a month ago. It was like, #4 on google trends once when I checked it.
You should just name it whatever the top most searched term is on google trends each day. That’ll get ya views. If you change it right now to “The Oxford project”, you still might even be able to milk a few more views out of it…whatever The Oxford project even means.
@3 nothing garlic can’t cure.
By popular demand I’ll bring the funny over here. So Kevin in hooking up they just let you do what you do everyday in the bathroom at home?
I knew the joke was coming and I might have been more amused if the guy holding the camera had put it on a tripod. Good ending, I do like you and Buck more than the others. Now when do we see nutcheese?
I hate it when people use twitter to promote their videos. It’s so annoying. Twitter is about the sheer joy of saying the craziest thing you can think of in less than 140 characters. It’s almost an art form. People who whore themselves out on twitter just ruin the ambiance of the medium.
P.S. Nice pole dancing. I like professor Klein. You need to steal that character from the show and make it a part of your regular channel.
ewww! Prof. Klein has a camel-toe!
Ear Worm grossed me out.
That’s all I have time for right now.
All the hater comments that your prompt in the sidebar of the worms video instigated have made my day. They’ve also been interfering with me finishing my college work. So thanks.
Hey, does anyone want my last taco and potato ole’s? Up till a moment ago I was pretty excited about Taco Tuesday, but surprisingly I’ve lost my appetite.
…stupid Hooked Up Video.
the title keeps growing, like a worm!
Just a little alert to all your loyal readers, that there will be a Facebook event on October 21 called “International Talk Like Sarah Palin Day.”
I’d sign up, except I’m afraida the consequences to the participants if she DOES get into office. For starters, she’ll order their bosses to fire them. That’s just for starters.

I actually think she’s more likely to hunt us down in blackhawk helicopters and shoot us with her big ol’ hunting rifle or shotgun or bow and arrow or whatever it is she uses to hunt moose. Or just have the blackhawk strafe us, and to hell with the collateral damage!
Hey! It’s a good source of protein!
New motto “Worms it’s for Dinner”
@9
I live in Minnesota. Every day is talk like Palin Day.
You betcha.
Oh yahh! Uh huh uh huh. 4 years of Palin will be like 4 years of watching ‘Fargo’.
@15,
When I lived in Nebraska, the “Telemarketing capital of the world*” so named because of the many firms that use Nebraskans’ clean accent-free English for telemarketing, that may have bothered me. After four years up here, I can’t contemplate why it’s a big deal. I hardly realized she had an accent until Nalts made the drag video with the worlds worst accent.
*-Outside of India, of course
@the eating worms video
that is probably the second most disgusting thing I’ve seen today.
you don’t want to know what the most disgusting thing I’ve seen today is.
