It’s years old, but it’s still one of my favorite online videos. In “Sound-a-Vision,” watch Homestar runner and his enemy Strongbad have a duel to settle their battle over the remaining parsnips at the depot. It’s a wonderful homage to early films with bad edits, repetitive lines, missing scenes and awkward pauses.
Yes, Virginia. You can still go viral… if you have an original idea and push production to a new level. It also helps to pay tribute to a popular video game. Here’s a video homage to Skyrim Elder Scrolls (a video game), an epic video that’s been seen more than a million times in the past…
Blogs can be fatiguing to maintain (sans revenue) until something like this comes along. Mascot Roommate. These guys prank their poor roommate who has a job promoting a coffee shop. It takes the fun out of it to think it might be staged, but there's certainly tips that would suggest that. One thing's clear to…
The Daily Reel‘s “REELED IN” seems to be growing as serious video creators post their online videos to gain visibility from the site and its every-so-networked partners. I’m also finding it’s a nice way to connect with other creators, and a few WVFF readers and YouTube buds have jumped in. We’ve all been burned populating…
Last week I happened upon a Reddit video post of the Fred Rogers remix video below, which at the time had just a few hundred views. I thought it was a spoof, but it was created by PBSDigitalStudios (see YouTube channel) by fellow fans of Mr. Rogers. I told my family it was going to…
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)
Hear a baby crying in a stroller in NYC? May want to let that pass. Could be a devil baby that contorts itself and pukes. In this particular case, it may be a robot designed by the folks at Thinkmodo for another horror film promotion (remember the Carrie telekinetic prank in a NYC coffee shop?)….

Uhm, yeah.
Sounds exciting. Can’t wait to watch it when I get home. Not.
OMG am I the only person that finds this funny? We can’t even excuse this as a “medication thing” because I thought it was funny long before my back surgery.
I feel so much better about my mentally challenged ignorant backwoods rednecks on drugs series now. Thanks.
I just took an explosive shit. I didn’t even have time to read the joke section of my new Maxim it was so fast!
Oh my god. I friggin’ love home star runner. I watched this video for the first time in like 5th or 6th grade when I was still a huge weirdo. Ah, times have changed.
Now I just wait for the comment from Sukatra telling me that I still am a huge weirdo…
@3 Ummm Yep. I find it to be a play on the never ending Class struggle between those who have parsnips and those who don’t. The fact that this is done in a B/W 1930’s cartoon short style and the characters draw on existing archetypes from that era also help to reinforce the humorous implications of the storyline.
The reference to the potato famine and satirical implications endemic to the social upward migration of the second and third generation Irish-American community helps to sell this piece to the audience of that or any era.
Oh and I liked the music.
Well, at least now I understand your fondness for parsnips.
