The Fresh Prince of Downton Abbey: I recently got into Downton Abbey and so I naturally like this.

4/19/2012

Official National High Five Day Music Video: third Thursday in April. Hilarious video!

4/9/2012

The Dukes Of Hazzard All About Jumps: two thoughts—1) Hazzard County must have the highest per capita number of ramps of anywhere on earth and 2) I wonder if the production company behind Dukes of Hazzard also ran some sort of stunt driver training program to increase revenue.

A Show with Ze Frank: inspiring first episode.

3/10/2012

The Man Who Pressed His Luck … and Won: memorizing five patterns under the circumstances is still amazing.

9/22/2011

Climbing Red Gates in Moscow: chilling and nauseating.

8/24/2011

Steve Jobs’s Best Quotes: his impact on computing cannot be overstated. Also, watch his Stanford commencement speech for more inspiration.

5/30/2011

Police Brutality at the Silent Flashmob at the Jefferson Memorial: this is really hard to watch, especially given that it transpires in a shrine to our most liberty-loving Founding Father.

5/5/2011

Timelapse – The City Limits: could be subtitled “The Metaphysical versus the Man-Made.”

4/10/2011

Tune for Two: decidedly different take.

3/17/2011

8/13/2010

8/11/2010

Incepción Trailer: I’m a sucker for Dora parody, I suppose.

7/28/2010

Magic Trick Revealed!: oh, the Alliance isn’t going to like that. {via}

7/23/2010

iOS 4.0 on 3G iPhone parody: this is my experience since I “upgraded” to iOS 4.0. It certainly makes a compelling case to upgrade your phone to a 3GS or 4, doesn’t it?

7/22/2010

tarp surfing: derivative of this but more professionally done. {via}

Hitler Parody – Hitler Speaks to Double Rainbow Guy: wow, there exists a different scene in Downfall?! Also, today I was reading What I’d Say to the Martians and came across this passage.

7/15/2010

Re: Haley | Old Spice: Old Spice guy responds to his daughter’s question. {via}

7/14/2010

Undercover Karaoke with Jewel: just great stuff.

7/10/2010

How to trick people into thinking you’re good looking: I enjoyed the earnest comments people left. “I thought she was beautiful before.” Point: missed.

7/8/2010

Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop: it’s jarring but I think I could come to appreciate such a reality.

7/7/2010

Super Mario Bros. on a Wall: I watched the whole thing and loved it. {via}

6/28/2010

AT-AT day afternoon: I love the shooting at the squirrel scene.

6/18/2010

Guy Beatboxing Super Mario Bros.: kind of fun.

2/5/2010

Epic Super Mario Land Rap: I had forgotten that there was even such a game. Game Boy nostalgia.

12/14/2009

Christmas Light Hero: I confess that I’ve never played any of the “Hero” games, but this has got to be a blast.

12/2/2009

The Taiwanese News CG Reenactment: I have no idea what’s being said but this video says all I need to know about the Tiger Woods accident. {via}

11/25/2009

Best of Twilight RiffTrax: I pretty much did my own version of this when I watched the movie.

Christian Side Hug: O. M. G. W. T. F. {via}

11/24/2009

Oli Lemieux training trampoline wall Dralion Cirque du Soleil: that is some serious trampolining. {via}

11/13/2009

Fail-a-thon: oh this is terrible. So terrible. And a little funny.

11/3/2009

The Sims Horror Movie: this is pretty much my every interaction with that game.

10/22/2009

I Gotta Feeling: well-orchestrated but I’m still partial to the first lip-dub I saw. {via}

10/14/2009

Sniper Sniper!: uhh, practical jokes don’t generally end with needing to change your underwear.

9/8/2009

High-Speed Robot Hand: the actual actions are pretty short but it’s still mesmerizing. {via}

9/1/2009

Chick Fil-A: it seems like it’s Sunday every time I want some.

8/28/2009

Angry Hitler Is Angry About Being Angry: this is the first Downfall re-subtitling that I’ve laughed at since the first one. Awesome!

8/4/2009

“Weird Al” Yankovic – CNR: good parody of The White Stripes and homage to the inimitable Charles Nelson Reilly, the original “famous for being famous” guy. (Side note: “Weird Al” has been on a tear lately with the Internet-released singles like “Skipper Dan” and “Craigslist.” Good for him!)

JK Divorce Entrance: spot-on spoof set to the same song. {via}

7/30/2009

DropSum: kind of an odd game involving adding lines up to 9 but I just spent 45 minutes playing it so you might enjoy it too. {via}

7/24/2009

Tron Legacy Trailer: thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t wait to see how they reimagine the Troniverse.

7/23/2009

JK Wedding Entrance Dance: I’m ambivalent about this. On the one hand, it strikes me as a sad example of the exhibitionism of today’s youth and lends a certain buffoonish quality to a serious event. On the other, it’s their wedding and why does it have to start with a staid wedding march. {via}

7/20/2009

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 – The Massacre: this is perhaps one of the finest uses of simulator-style games.

7/19/2009

MC Hammer Vader Busts a Move: this has ComicCon written all over it.

7/15/2009

Eternal Moonwalk: I could easily watch this for far too long. Here’s Go Daddy’s contribution.

7/11/2009

Train vs. Tornado: if you want to fast forward, the denouement is at 1:09.

6/30/2009

Bare Essentials of Safety: in-flight safety video from Air New Zealand. You’ll quickly notice where it differs from others in this genre. From the “Nothing to Hide” marketing campaign.

6/22/2009

Autotuned JFK: also MLK. Another treatment that I thought was pretty cool was this one on a different topic altogether. And if you don’t know what autotune is, here’s a quick introduction. {via}

4/12/2009

Close Range: great spoof from The Onion. Umm, *shuffles feet*, I’d buy it.

2/10/2009

Level Crossing Man: missed it by that much.

2/6/2009

It’s a Small World (2009 version): finally re-opened and with 100% more Disney and Pixar character placement than before. It’s all done quite well (except for Lilo and Stitch).

People Who Deserve It: I’m sympathetic. Related: People Getting Punched Right Before Eating.

10/23/2008

Shiba Inu Puppy Cam: awwww. {via}

Cereal Mascot Therapy Session: fast-paced hilarity from the College Humor people.

Superhero Fashion Emergency: it’s the tights, most definitely.

Star Wars According to a Three-Year Old: kids are so much fun. This is exactly how my girls talk. It’s adorable.

Brohemian Rhapsody: Queen’s song re-imagined as a frat-boy kegger. I cracked up several times.

Awkward Rap: well-produced rap about life’s little discomfiting times. I’m finally going back through College Humor’s Original Videos section and there are some real gems there.

CSI: Scooby Doo: zoinks!

The Dark Knight Meets Superman: “while you were talking there, I went ahead and stopped crime. Like all of it.” {via}

10/17/2008

10/16/2008

Head Over Heels – Literal Version: I could watch these things all day. {via}

Unbeatable Banzuke: the craziest Japanese athletic game show I’ve ever seen. There’s plenty of video of it on YouTube. It makes me wish I had G4 still.

10/7/2008

Take on Me – Literal Video Version: hilarious. {via}

10/4/2008

Beached: it’s tilt-shifted, time-lapsed video. I have no idea how it’s done but damn if I can’t get enough of it. Check out his Bathtub III and Bathtub II also. {via}

10/1/2008

Couric Stumps Palin with Supreme Court Question: Personally, I would have come back all smart-assed with “Y’know, Katie, I’ve never been fond of Plessy. SCOTUS really screwed the pooch on those.” I definitely think there’s something to this “gotcha journalism” charge. But I can name eleven decisions off the top of my head, after the jump, to varying degrees of judicial precision. (more…)

5 Friends: continuing on the creepy theme… {via}

Sing for Change: I’m not sure whether its the vapidity of the lyrics, the fervent cheering of the adults at the conclusion, or the children as pawns but this video gives me the willies. {via}

9/27/2008

Professor Wikipedia: what if Wikipedia had a prominent role in higher education?

Head of Skate: CollegeHumor made a trailer for the Disney movie that Matt Damon referred to.

9/25/2008

Diesel XXX SFW: this is a porn video made SFW by animation replacing the underlying actions. There’s nothing shown, but the implication is quite NSFW. Absolutely hilarious!

9/24/2008

Dog on Tramp: not exactly what I was expecting but still fun. {via}

9/21/2008

Oktapodi: well-done animated short along the lines of Finding Nemo but with octopi. {via}

9/19/2008

The Gradual Made Visible: I don’t normally promote my other sites (what are you talking about?!) but I just finished this nice collection of time-lapse videos of people that you may want to check out.

9/18/2008

Riccardo Patrese Drives Wife Crazy: I don’t know what words she’s using but I know what she’s saying. {via}

Citizen Kang: this reminds me so much of the current election (well, maybe every election). Money quote: “It makes no difference which one of us you vote for. Either way, your planet is doomed. DOOMED!”

9/17/2008

IMDB Video: IMDB finally offers full-length video of movies and TV shows. Okay, so it’s kind of Hulu like.

9/14/2008

Sunday Afternoon: a rap about errands and chores. I knew I recognized this guy: he’s the same gent behind Every Day Normal Guy Rap Song. Great work!

Stay At Home Dad: he gets high on baby hugs.

Jar Glove: finally a decent skewering of ridiculous infomercial product dramatizations. It’s about time.

9/12/2008

Guy Skis Down Tube Escalator: HOLY CRAP! I CAN BARELY WATCH THIS! {via}

9/11/2008

9/9/2008

The Internet Overdose Song: moderately amusing.
