Patton Oswalt, one of my absolute favorite comedians, rants about YouTube on this Comedy Central “Root of All Evil” video excerpt.
Good to know he’s watching.
Hey, Patton… Forget the sneezing Panda bear. I think Farting in Public rival Citizen Kane.
An ad for Suboxone (a pharmaceutical medication that helps people get over opoid addictions) appeared on my YouTube video called “Ten Fewer Holiday Things to Stress Over This.” Targeting or luck? Why do I have a feeling this blog post is going to attract a lot of spam for Percocet and Oxycontin?
Here’s one man’s depiction of typical reactions to online videos (note- explicit language included). He spoofs the many moronic comments that videos attract. His parody is around some of the themes of Metacafe’s comment audience, but many of these are universal truths to video comments: That’s boring That’s fake You suck
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…
A couple deer (fawns to be precise) wandered a Publix supermarket in Suwannee, Georgia. The noises of the frustrated fawns (see YouTube video below) sounds freakishly human. In an moment guilty of at least two cases of irony, James Chronicle — a founder of a Suwanee-based non-profit called the Georgia Animal Protection Society — “chronicled” the…
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).
Time to test out your “is it real or fake” instincts. Watch this video where a random Verizon caller is surprised when that Verizon Wireless “Can You Hear Me Now” guy shows up with an army of Verizon people personifying the Verizon network. Is it truly candid, or is our “victim” an actor? Shaky camera…

I like Patton and I love Lewis Black, but I hate the other guy and I don’t think this show is gonna last. And if the only video this guy can cite is the sneezing panda, he’s not enough of a youtuber to do commentary about it. Even if it’s supposed to be a joke.
Oh my God. What is happening to me?
I like Patton too! Search for his Stella Dora breakfast treats skit and his conversation with George Lucas skit.
I first heard Patton on XM and immediately researched him and wrote him a note. He wrote me back, and I’ll probably never forget that. Now I try to respond to every message personally. Oh, no. I don’t do that at all do I?
He’s right, though. A lot of what is on YouTube is junk and I can’t understand why it gets views. And then there’s Nalts, Viral Video GENIUS.
i don’t believe him.
We invaded Iran already? I thought that was scheduled for Sweeps Week.

We invaded Iran already? I thought that was scheduled for Sweeps Week.
You have it wrong, MDJ. We invade Iran during the Democratic convention.
That can’t be right, Marilyn. We’ll be invading Democrats that week.
