My Dog Was Invited to Be a YouTube Partner
FreddyNalts just got invited to apply for YouTube partnership. That is all.
What Cisco’s Flip-Flop Means To You
A once $200 portable video camera (Flip Mino HD) for $87. Not too shabby. Online-video was heavily influenced by the popular Flip cameras because they were easy to use and convert to YouTube. I was somewhat disheartened by Cisco’s decision to buy Flip in March 2009, but hey… what’s $590 million on 2009 sales of…
The Honey Badger Doesn’t Give a Sh*t
What happens when you take a somewhat effeminate male voice and overdub a National Geographic video about honey badgers? You get this hysterical clip that examines — no judges and condemns and celebrates — the absurdly brave behavior of the Honey Badger (courtesy of the good users at Reddit). Whether he’s eating snakes, climbing into…
Jewish A Cappella Parody of Dynamite (Candlelight)
Hannukah may be over, but you can still groove to this hip hop a cappella parody, with lyrics about playing dradel by the candlelight, and the great menorah. It’s the Jewish version of Dynamite (by Taio Cruz). No it’s not the Dalton Academy Choir performing, but the Maccabeats, an a cappella group from Yashiva University.
2011 Prediction 6-9 Trillion Display Ads Seen by 45 People
comScore today announced that in the third quarter of this year (3Q 2010) about 1.3 trillion Internet display advertisements were served to people in the U.S. (a 22% growth from the same period in 2009). We were too lazy to register to download the report, but not so lazy as to avoid making “wild, unfounded…
Today Show’s Viral Video Doesn’t Go Viral
Sure we like Mike Tompkins (YouTube’s pbpproductions). Sure his Dynamite a cappella remix was cool. His appearance on yesterday’s NBC Today Show produced this, “Today Goes Viral.” While it’s one of the most-discussed videos in Canada (and we love our Canadian Tubers), it’s not exactly living up the the viral title at 15K views so far. But…
My Best Video of 2010: Epic Kid Song Mix
I was excited to be in last week’s BarelyPolitical “Man Bat & Catwoman video” with Obama Girl, and post Mark’s obscenely-funny faux “behind the scenes.” It was great to be in Gay Leprechaun by Mediocrefilms. Fantastic to play the knife on Annoying Orange too. But as far as my own videos go, this “Shnibl” remix…
T-Mobile Airport A Cappella: Everything But ImprovEverywhere
Hard to criticize this lovely video featuring surprised passengers in Heathrow Airport being surprised by a cappella songs in every genre. Part of T-Mobile’s Life’s For Sharing campaign. I just wish they’d partnered with or acknowledged Charlie Todd (author of Causing a Scene) because he kinda invented (or at least popularized) this type of video.
Did Falcon Heene “Out” His Parents on CNN?
Thanks, Stalkerofnalts for pointing out this video. I heard Falcon Heene answer CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, but couldn’t make it out. When you replay the clip, it’s clear… “you guys said we do this for a show” (or something close to that). Did Falcon just out his parents? Will someone will be interviewing the kid off…
How to Pretend You Care About Politics
“Talk about how sad it is that people refuse to get involved in politics,” says Dan Carlyle, Today Now’s Political Correspondent. “Blaming others for being uninformed is always a great way to seem informed yourself.” That was part of Carlyle’s advice for people who would like to pretend they give a shit about November’s U.S….
