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.
I love YouTube’s grand-pappy, Zipster08, for capturing my uncensored thoughts about the 15-minutes of YouTube fame, and the “star arch” of weblebrities. I didn’t know he was taping it at first. Even when he told me… I just kept it real. Why self sensor ? After all, I probably ran out of Adderall on purpose. Here’s…
Mel Gibson’s “Signs” of AntiSemitism… a spoof trailer that combines clips from “The Signs” with Jewish film stars from Woody Allen to Adam Sandler.
The thing that put YouTube on the map was easy file sharing — quick uploads and fast Flash-based streaming. Lately YouTube is experimenting with high definition, which is a slight improvement from the typical squished Flash format. Here are the key things you need to know: It’s in testing, and it’s not perfect. The audio…
Memelabs has a platform for running viral-video contests. Didn’t know that existed until now, and it seems to make sense. It’s a better alternative to a “throw away” site that is custom designed by an agency. No big clients yet, but a number of active contests.
This comment from long-time WillVideoForFood.com back-row participant Reubnick: “Nalts, you and I both need to get our groove back. 2009 was not a good year for Reubnick. My advice for you is to find another giant flightless bird in the road and be surprised at it again. That is still my favorite video of yours.”…

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.
