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.
We watch iCarly nonstop. Me an the four kids. And we watch Shaycarl, and Shaycarl watches us. Even babytard, see? Now Freddy (Nathan Kress) from iCarly met Shay this week. That’s so weird, huh? We’re like two-degrees of separation from someone on one of our favorite shows. If you’re reading this, you’re three degrees of separation….
If you’re making videos for money, the category you choose is as important as anything. Here are some sought-after topic areas for text ads on a display (not click through) basis. But first some notes, with special attention to the third. All categories have ranges, and those are based on “inventory” (advertisers seeking videos, and…
Bree is dead, but I think she’ll be back. LonelyGirl was killed last Friday, and here’s the LonelyGirl15 episode that brings ovaracting in online video to a high bar I can only hope to reach. The video is currently rating 3 out of 5 stars and keep in mind you can’t select one star). Sources: according to…
The creators of ClipCritics are seeing something awfully familiar on SkyFy. The new show, “Outer Space Astronauts,” also looks so familiar to ClipCritics fans that they’ve written its creator, Chad Sahley, with congratulations.

But it’s worth noting that many of my favorite Nalts videos never went far — like this video below with about 12,000 views after…

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.
