Little Superstar

2006-09-25T23:10:00.000-07:00

This is simply the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Is it a kid? A midget? Why is he smoking?

You might think it's a camera trick, but pay attention to the other kids when he freezes or goes in slow-motion.

Do it.

The Obscene Spelling Bee

2006-07-27T18:44:00.000-07:00

If you are a big fan of watching little kids compete in spelling bees, then doubtless, you are a sick individual who is really only waiting for them to fail and break down in tears.

Well, if so, you're in luck. No tears, but plenty to cry about. Watch the judges stick it to these smug, little bastards.

Jan Terri - Get Down Goblin

2006-07-15T11:51:00.000-07:00

OK, this is two posts in a row. I am officially obsessed with Jan Terri.

This is actually a much less enjoyable video than "I Don't Want to Lose You Tonight", which I will still stand by as "worst video ever", but it's still worth watching, if only for the scene where this almost-midget with no musical talent pretends to play the bass guitar.

Not to be mean (and by "not to be mean" I actually mean "to be very mean"), but if you looked like that, wouldn't you try and avoid songs about goblins? Ooh, I'm terrible!

If you make it to the end, you might notice the 30 seconds-plus credit sequence, just in case you were dying to know who choreographed this piece of shit.

If you read the wikipedia article, it might take some of the fun out of this to know that she played Marilyn Manson's birthday party, but on the other hand, the fact that she does play birthday parties has definitely got my attention. *COUGH COUGH* SEPTEMBER 17 *COUGH COUGH*

Worst music video ever

2006-07-14T15:47:00.000-07:00

I don't know if that title's appropriate. Personally, I think this is the best video ever.

She looks like your lunchlady. She sounds like a 12 year old girl and her lyrics may have been written by those 100 monkeys the government has been trying to get to write Shakespeare.

Seriously, awesome. Watch it.

Walker told me...

2006-07-11T01:14:00.000-07:00

OK, I know I've said this before, but this is the greatest thing ever.

I don't want to give anything away, but Conan O'Brien had a bit on his show where they would show clips from Walker: Texas Ranger, almost always to uproarious laughter.

I know what you're thinking, "oh that whole Chuck Norris thing is totally played out" and you're right. But this clips hilarity outweighs any hipster ennui you may be experiencing.

Conan sets up the clip and then it goes into the Walker episode, you'll notice a young Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense. It's all fun and kidding around, then he grows solemn, the music comes up and he utters the six words that will change your life. Conan's reaction is priceless, as is the laughter from the audience.

The Oozinator

2006-06-26T14:27:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure how, exactly, a high-ranking member of N.A.M.B.L.A. infiltrated the advertising world just so he could subversively distribute this child pornography, but he did.

Prepare to laugh your ass off and then feel gross about it.

Little boys vigorously jerking the shaft of a "gun" so that it squirts green goo all over their friends. Sometimes they get shot in the chest, sometimes in the face...

Well, this might be the last viral video review I write for a while, I'm going to go jam my eyes with a rusty screwdriver now.

(Thanks Cindy for the heads up about this)

Richard Simmons' Who's Line??

2006-06-21T23:25:00.000-07:00

Wow.

I have to say, that--

You know what, forget it. Just watch.

Richard Simmons on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?".

Wow.

Not Baby Daddy

2006-06-20T23:50:00.000-07:00

Today must be a Maury two-fer or something.

This one is from his old show.

You're on the spot: national TV, you and some other dude have banged some chick, she had a kid and now she wants your dough.

Then you find out it's not yours. Time to celebrate, right?

Hooray for responsibility!

Maury & Connie: Thanks for the memories

2006-06-20T23:43:00.000-07:00

Wow, this is pretty horrible.

From their now-cancelled MSNBC show, Connie Chung serenades the audience with a parody song.

Just fucking kill me now, will you?

Making it even worse, somehow the piano track has been removed so it's just her voice.

She can claim she's poking fun at herself, but we know the truth. There is no excuse for this kind of thing. Cancellation is not enough, I recommend jail time.

Evolution of Dance

2006-06-06T23:30:00.000-07:00

OK, I admit it. I am mystified.

This is the most downloaded viral video on all of YouTube?

20,000,000 downloads and counting. An article about it on cnn.com.

Apparently, this is sweeping the nation.

It's a motivational speaker/comedian (???) doing a dance routine where he incorporates all the most annoying dance moves of the past 20 or 30 years.

It's billed (by its author) as "the funniest six minutes you will ever see!"

I disagree, but what the hell do I know?

RV Bloopers

2006-05-30T23:20:00.000-07:00

I don't understand how I haven't put this one up before now. I feel like a total failure.

This is a guy filming a commercial for an RV dealership or something. He keeps messing up his lines and totally loses it.

If you're not a fan of the "F word", I would recommend you skip this one because this old dude probably says it six hundred times in the span of four and a half minutes.

At one point, he tells people there's going to be no yelling, which is really the only part of the video when he's not yelling.

This is where the phrase "My mind is a piece of shit" entered the zeitgeist.

Mentos + Coke

2006-05-21T19:15:00.000-07:00

OK, this is the first I've ever heard of this, but it seems to be for real and it is truly awesome.

Apparently, if you drop a whole tube of Mentos into a bottle of Coke, it does something with the carbonation and "explodes". It ends up looking like a geyser.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of these videos that I found, but I think this is one of the best, in terms of height, plus it's funnier if things don't go quite as planned and the person gets splashed.

I, for one, am totally planning on doing this TODAY.

Kiefer tackles the christmas tree

2006-05-17T15:25:00.000-07:00

This viral video is Kiefer Sutherland on some French talk show pimping out his documentary which I have never seen or heard of.

The clip they show is great, Kiefer is clearly drunk and someone tells him he's a pirate or something, so he decides that's a great reason to imitate Johnny Knoxville and jump into a Christmas tree, complete with lights and everything.

In his defense, this is much less stupid than the things his Young Guns cohort, Charlie Sheen has been saying and doing lately. I'll take vandalism over beating women and 9/11 conspiracies any day.

Flintstones Theme Hand Farts

2006-05-17T15:03:00.000-07:00

Those of you who know me in person know this already, but for anyone else, I can do this.

This isn't me and I'm not quite this good, but I'm close. I'm better at laying down beats than doing songs, but hey, let's not get nitpicky over here.

So rather than put up a video of myself doing this, I figured this is good enough, because I'm lazy.

Thanks to Slappy for the link.

Reach!

2006-05-15T10:59:00.000-07:00

If you liked the library musical, but you wished it took place in the middle of a lecture hall, then you'll love "Reach!". Primarily because it's a musical that takes place in a lecture hall.

So nerdy, you'll feel your virginity coming back in to your body.

The guy's falsetto part is pretty funny but he needs to get some better backup dancers/singers. One of the girl *almost* falls down trying to climb over the chairs, but unfortunately, she regains her balance.

Reading on a Dream

2006-05-15T10:50:00.000-07:00

This viral video comes from collegehumor.com, it's entitled "Reading on a Dream (A Library Musical)".

I'm not a big fan of musicals, I'm not "like that", but it is pretty funny to see peoples' reactions as they are studying in the library and this dude busts out in a song and choreographed dance routine.

At one point he's joined by a girl and they have a duet and dance together. Unfortunately, nobody falls down and hurts themselves, but it's still pretty funny.

Space Camp

2006-05-12T01:38:00.000-07:00

OK, I'm confused.

This is a nerd singing a song about Space Camp...

Apparently he went there...

Except he's easily 45 years old...

I don't think Space Camp has been around more than 20 years...

Do the math. Isn't that place for kids?

You have to admire the guy's enthusiasm, if not his singing voice. He seems pretty winded at several points in the video. The end gets pretty weird. Normally I'm not one to condone jokes about eating disorders, but I felt the message of the song outweighed my own, personal uncomfort with certain extraneous sections of the plot.

Jimmy Kimmel Unnecessary Censorship 1 Year

2006-05-12T01:27:00.000-07:00

This is so f*%*$&# funny.

I bet you thought I was saying the 'f' word? Well, I was, but if I wasn't, you'd be under the impression I was, right?

Confused?

Just watch it, it's great.

Puppie vs. Cat

2006-05-11T23:35:00.000-07:00

Awww, this is too cute! LOL! Not all viral videos have to be people getting hit in the nuts, unfortunately.

This is so adorable, it will make you sick. Seriously, I have rheumatic fever.

Basically a cat has a showdown with six or seven adorable puppies. The cat just sits there and hisses but the puppies go nuts, as if they've never seen a cat before! That's crazy! Thankfully, it all ends with lots of blood and carnage.

Imagination Safari

2006-05-10T15:28:00.000-07:00

Sorry for slacking off the past few days, but I'm back with all-new Viral Video Reviews!

This is a short film about a regular kid who spends the day with the gifted class, who take him on a not-so-fabulous journey into the world of imagination!

Starring Animals From the Future, a now semi-defunct, Los Angeles-based sketch group starring Bill Hader from Saturday Night Live, Mel Cowan, Matt Offerman and some guy who looks exactly like me and even has the exact same name as me but isn't me, I swear.

I wouldn't put this video up if it wasn't actually really hilarious, I'm not such a blatant self-promoter that I would pimp something out I wasn't proud of, just to get the added exposure from the 12 people who read this site.

But don't take my word for it, Imagination Safari just spent the day on the front page of iFilm.com and is now a "featured sketch" in their comedy channel.

Feminine Fat Kid Dancing (repost)

2006-05-06T14:08:00.000-07:00

[I don't know what was up with that last link, so if you missed it, here it is again. Hopefully this works - Eric]

This poor bastard.

It's a fat kid on stage dancing to "I Love Rock n Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

He seems so into it, so happy to be performing. I predict he's just a few years away from having reality punch him in his chubby face.

Look, don't hate me. I didn't make this video, I'm simply providing a link for you to decide for yourself whether this is funny or awful. The choice is yours. The real enemy here is the person who shot and edited this, with the split screen effects and all that.

People like this don't need that kind of encouragement. These dreams should be crushed at an early age. Like when I wanted to be a pilot and my dad would tell me I was a stupid idiot and no airline would ever endanger the lives of hundreds of people by placing their fate in the hands of such a loser....

I've gotta go.

she shoulda been working

2006-05-05T14:36:00.000-07:00

This is but one in a long line of "scary maze" reaction videos. I like this one because unlike the guy who did it to his four year old kid, it doesn't look like this lady is going to be permanently damaged to the point where she becomes a serial killer.

It's a good reaction, nonetheless (and a little racy - ooh la la).

Steve Ballmer

2006-05-04T18:10:00.000-07:00

You might have heard about this one.

This is Steve Ballmer, who I assume is some sort of motivational speaker, getting the crowd pumped up at a Microsoft convention (?).

One of the many highlights of this clip is that they play "Get On Your Feet" by the Miami Sound Machine as he comes out.

You could either respect the guy's energy and commitment or write him off as a fucking wackjob. I'm gonna go with the second one, though he should get credit for teaching Howard Dean how to scream.

I also like how he's all fat and out of shape and totally winded at the end.

Back in the Day

2006-05-03T19:13:00.000-07:00

This is a short film starring Bill Hader from Saturday Night Live and Derek Waters who was on Married to the Kellys.

Two guys say goodbye to a friendship that is not what you may think.

Originally shown as part of Derek Water's stage show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater in Los Angeles that was directed by Bob Odenkirk from Mr. Show.

Really funny, especially if you love the band Train. And by "love" I mean "hate".
