Remember the Balloon Boy episode from 2009? Huffington Post reported that Richard Heene hasn’t given up his quest to extend his 15 minutes of fame. Here’s the fruit of his labor: Aluminum man. So sorry I didn’t provide you with this earlier.
Get ready for the Lawsuits. In a horrible satire at the expense of handicapped people and ice-cream men, the comedy channel “JustForLaughsTV” created this atrocity below. In addition to stigmatizing one-handed people with “claw hands,” it defaces all ice cream people everywhere. And rips off the soundtrack from “Summer Loving” (Grease). Parenthetically, the lawsuit by…
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…
I’m a huge fan of iJustine (Justine Ezarik), and we did a video a few years ago when (believe it or not) I had twice the subscribers as her. Now she’s appearing in Fast Company and on a recent episode of Criminal Minds (the episode is called “Middle Man”) so I’m exploiting it of course….
He’s not homeless, reports Shira Lazar, but his Kermit the Frog “Under Pressure” duet entertained and spawned charity. The David Bowie & Queen homage brought in more than 900,000 views… but only 16 subscribers oddly.

This is another excellent example of the exception…
I would have predicted that by April 2010, YouTube’s “most popular” videos would be consistantly good. In fact, however, we’re seeing some all-star talent like Mediocrefilms and BlameSocietyFilms getting far fewer views than they would have a year ago. And we’re seeing some YouTube channels ranking consistently on YouTube’s most-viewed and most popular sections that are (how can I put…
Sometimes you have to bring those industry watchers off the bleachers and into the game. Here we see Daisy Whitney in her amateur-video debut… The Uninvisible Man. The TVWeek writer and host of New Media Minute was gracious enough to appear in this short video where I turn invisible… well at least I think I…
Patton Oswalt likes to look at nut sacks of old men. See for yourself on Rabbit Bites. Patton, of course, only did Rabbit Bites because I did a year ago (I’m a trend setter. I’ll bet Oswalt doesn’t do “Internet Superstar” until Aug 2009).
