What Do Online Video and Direct-Response TV Have in Common?
ByNalts
Direct-response television (TV ads that have a “call to action”) aren’t new. But I did have a chance to hear about best-practices on DR-TV and they struck me as awfully similar to some of the online-video entertainment best practices. Example: Immediate Appearance of Response Mechanism (start your video with a compelling clip) Response Mechanism Duration…

First a disclaimer. I don’t take any spiffs to mention a company or product on this Blog. I’m a former journalist, and I only cover something if I find it interesting myself or for my largely anonymous readers. I’ve gotten some e-mails from folks asking if this is my day job, so I’ve updated my…

Creative & Sponsor Trump Peanut Butter & Chocolate

I love it when a certain artist, video creator, or web series finds THE sponsor. Not a sponsor, but the ideal one. The kind of sponsor that you’d think would be stalking the entertainer, but sadly probably doesn’t know they exist. There are matches made in heaven: iJustine or Happyslip and Mac, Rhett & Link…

Warning: This post has a self-serving promotional element, but I still think you’ll find it entertaining. A strange thing happens to marketers in December, and it’s a phenomenon that is true for most companies in any industry. Marketers spent much of the year managing their budget tightly, asking about ROI, and squeezing vendors. Then in…
Thank You (pee bag video)

Thanks for the “get well” post and comments after my fun-packed spinal fusion surgery. Here’s the video I shot to pass on my appreciation (but couldn’t get it to post). I’m back home from the hospital in fairly constant and often intense pain (largely because I can’t take these nasty pain meds). But today’s highlight…

One of the cast of that TV sitcom (Grady) used to push his shopping cart full of aluminum cans past my Cochran Street bedroom window every morning on his homeless way to the recycling center. Sometimes I’d wave at him.
You should have had them steal your package instead of your head. Oh wait, probably not a good idea. Wouldn’t have been visible in the photo.
Please Nalts, I beg of you, stop updating so much. My Google reader is being overrun with 4-6 new entries every day. I feel like I’m being spammed. Is it possible to only receive your video’s through RSS instead of EVERYTHING! ?
While Lamont and Pop fondling your melon is quite an amusing spectacle, I must correct you on one point:
Technically, it’s not a “decapitated head.” Your body, having the head removed, would be the part of you which was decapitated. Your head, bald or otherly adorned, minus the rest of you, would thus be described as “discorporated.”
But, as Nigel Tufnel said, “That’s just nitpicking, isn’t it?”
Shoutout to renetto!
Marquis- you knew GRADY!? I loved Grady. Was he homeless before or after the show?
That’s just creepy Cojack!
Red Fox looks like he’s thinking “Hmm! I’m gonna take home. I got a great recipe for deep fried nalts head”
@6 Kevin
Yeah. After the show. Early 90’s. Conan O’Brien revitalized Grady’s career (life?) in the mid 90’s with a “Where’s Grady” series of sketches.
So what? Last week they stole my hacksaw.

Sorry, decapitated head is so much funnier sounding than discorporated head. And I don’t even want to know why you are aware of the distinction. Well, actually I do. Who knows that kind of shit??
Oh yeah, Nalts?
Well, the Jeffersons stole my head when I still had a lot of hair, so take that!!
@11
Although ‘discorporated’ is more technically correct, I prefer ‘disincorporated’. More verbish. Rolls off the tongue.
;D
@sukatra
Ad writers who minored in English and try to make snide jokes but reread their posts and realize they just come off sounding snooty.
Sorry :o)
I wish I could post pictures in this comment section.
Nalts, you big dummy! It’s “discorporated”. Any fool knows that.
Oh, I’m pretty sure I’m the only fool here… I’m gonna go stick my soon-to-be-dis-whatever’d head on the train tracks now.
@slater
i’m sorry, i actually thought your comment was really funny – just didn’t like the discorporated word as much as the decapitated one. I especially liked your reference to “your head, bald or otherly adorned” – not a phrase you hear every day.
seriously though, how come you know the difference between the two terms? is there something you’re not telling us? If so, I hope you got it on tape!!!
p.s. I feel bad that I made slater feel suicidal.
Or do I. . . . . .?
I like Slater.
Saved by the Bell just wouldn’t have been the same without him.
did patch’s friend do that?
@sukatra…
Dunno what came over me… I’m usually not so hypersensitive…
I know the difference (and I’m NOT trying to be cute this time) because I’m from Maine and I read a lot of Stephen King. He’s used both terms in his books at different times.
Hey, you big poofta! I just checked out the display of kissy-face in your newest video.
BTW, I hope I never hear one of my son’s friends talking about my “package”.
International Talk Like A Pirate Day is September 19. Just thought you’d want to know.
arrrrr!
Looks like the big one, Lisabit.
@24: I LOVE Talk Like a Pirate Day! My sons like it even more. They walk around all day saying “arrr” and telling bad pirate jokes.
Sorry I’ve been so absent lately. School has started back up again and I am extremely busy at work. That accompanied by my insomnia has made me over-tired and uninterested in spending too much time on the computer.
BTW: Did anyone even notice my absence?
^ I was gone, so no.
I thought you were still at the jersey shore.
^Unfortunately, I’ve been back for over a week now. School started and I am back at work. Sigh! I want to go back on vacation.
