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

If you know Greg Benson, Mediocrefilms and Mediocrefilms2, then you’ll squeal with delight in discovering this vintage piece. It’s a training video for an upscale fast-food restaurant (or downscale real restaurant). I’m not naming the company name because I’d hate for them to ask for it to be removed. It’s vintage Greg… before the hair…
There are loads of social media events, and many YouTube “community gatherings,” meetups and online video events. But the “South By Southwest” of online-video and YouTube is indisputably VidCon. Organized by Hank and John Green (vlogbrothers), the event in 2010 drew hundreds of community members, top “YouTube Stars,” and Nerdfighters (the active people who rally to reduce…
Meet Tom Fishburne. He’s a former marketer that got wise and is pursuing his passion. Much like someone we know, who eventually sold out to corporate America again. I met Tom when he spoke at J&J and he looks like the kid in Sixth Sense. This cartoon is brilliant because it reflects the naive hope…
You have until September 30, 2006 to enter the “Mentos Geyser Video Contest.” Prizes include enough Mentos to feed you for a year. Here’s the official website, and here’s the YouTube Mentos Geyser group that features the qualified entries to date. Here are my two entries. Mentos Jet Pack– kids had some fun strapping bottles…
One of my wife’s tabloids featured an ad for Vitamin Water featuring American Idol star Kelly Clarkson (I guess she lost enough weight that the campaign is live). The ad is made to look like the cover of the tabloid and uses its masthead. Since it appears upsidedown and is marketed by tiny 10-point type…
Oh sorry. I suppose I could have just e-mailed the folks at The Onion, but it’s just as easy to blog them. And hope their social-media monitoring tools dig deep enough to find this blog (ranked just below the left-handed lesbians’ jewelry accessory blog). BRING BACK PUNDIT JOAD CRESSBECKLE (seen here expressing his concern about humanized potatoes)… To…

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.
