World’s Stupidest Inventions
This really has nothing to do with online video, but it’s funny. Worst inventions ever FTW.

Short Visit to West Coast Online-Video Junkee with “LA Blue Balls”
ByNalts
Yeah I went to LA for one day, and it was the biggest tease of my online-video life! I have LA blueballs. The near climax was getting to meet Punchy from WaverlyFilms, Captain from ClipCritics and my favorite YouTube weblebrities… but not having enough time to play! There was a spontaneous dinner on Wednesday night,…
Bill Gates Raw!
ByNalts
It’s not every day that I have a chance to videotape a zillionaire without him knowing. Here’s “Bill Gates Raw!” The idea was to see how many subtle Mac or Linux comments we could make before driving the Microsoft founder off the deep end.
YouTube Whoops: Wawa Hoagie Ads Run Over Carls-Junior Sponsored Burger Videos
ByNalts
YouTube went to great lengths to ask (and even threaten video creators with reminders of their contractual obligations) to prevent stars doing sponsored videos. As I’ve addressed before, some advertisers were circumventing lucrative media spends by working directly with top stars. That’s especially smarmy when the Google folks pitched the star, and the agency or…

A direct lift from PaidContent.org on July 24. I really can’t add any insights, but it seems to be important. The best judge of future entrepreneurial success is past entrepreneurial success.

Best Cartoon Voice in History: TreeTrunks on Adventure Time

I hope you know by now I’m rather infatuated with voice characterizations (Jim Meskimen as new Mel Blanc). Meet the best new voice impressionist ever: Polly Lou Livinston, tapped by animator Pen Ward, 27. Ward, who created the recently launched CartoonNetwork show, “Adventure Time With Finn and Jake” (a bland name for a quirky, unique…
He’ll Draw Anyone for Free. Just Send Him a Video.
ByNalts
His name is Marcos. In this video from December he — after taking a leak — says he’s willing to draw a picture of anyone on YouTube. Then quite suddenly one of his videos claimed the coveted feature spot. By last count he had more than 1,000 comments… many included requests for drawings. I’d estimate…

That toilet putting green is brilliant!
OK, the beating breasts were just creepy, but what’s so stupid about a marshmallow shooter? It’s a classic cubical warfare toy.
The Peter Petrie Egg Separator, baby cage and Hubbard Screamometer were kinda creepy.
Youtube’s streaming really sucks the last 36 hours. Are they cutting corners? Saving bandwidth for the big boys? Trying to turn a fourth quarter profit?
@4 I haven’t noticed. Probably because my internet connection is being really slow lately.
My connection speed was a blistering 11 KB/sec earlier today.
I’d upgrade, but I’m locked in to whatever contract my apartment complex has with the Internet Service Provider.
I think the coolest invention is the Priarrius or the Ferrarius or whatever you want to call it in your latest video!
I think Jo needs one of those fake baseball cracked thru the window decals next!
I can’t believe people noticed the priarrius. The previous owner put those on. I kinda like ’em. 😉
Didn’t notice the Pruriasius, but DID see the Cryptocephalus. Cool!
I remember when Kevin shut down his Revver blog (Revverberation). It was just like this. He slowed down his posts. Then stopped. Then announced it “went dark” after he set up this one.
@9 Kind of sad isn’t it. His hair blog hasn’t been updated recently either (in fact, it’s been over a month).
His video uploads have slowed down significantly too. Remember when he would upload a video every time you poop? I don’t know about you, but I think I’ve probably pooped more than 5 times this month.
@10
Oh, I always uploaded twice as much as he ever did. He got more views, but I worked harder. I’ve uploaded nearly 2,000 videos (and deleted half of them, the worst ones). Kevin has always been laissez-faire about quantity. Remember his Get Fit channel? Nobody else does, either. Hahaha! No, if you wanna hear from Kevin these days, you gotta tweet him. Hey, it’s twick or tweet season….

@11 Of course I remember naltsgetsfit. Kevin seems to have forgotten about it though.
Well, like I said before, I’ve seen it before. First he was all Revver, all the time. Then he dropped that for the wider genre of viral video. Now he’s gone social networking. C’mon, Kevin, I know you’re working on a social networking feed out there somewhere, maybe in Pahrump.
