Death Star Over San Francisco: cool video integration of San Francisco with images from the Star Wars series. {via}

Two Minutes to Wondermark: I grossly underestimated the amount of work that went into Wondermark. I’m equally impressed with Malki and Photoshop.

Barack Roll: clever, very clever. {via}

Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad: funniest line: “I’ll see you at the debates, bitches.” {via everyone}

Wipeout Wrecking Ball: this is easily the best sequence in the entire show. John Henson is hilarious.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at Comic-Con: not as good as the Star Wars one, but still hilarious. There’s also his full speech to the conventioneers comic nerds.

Pixar’s Presto in HD: I’ve been looking all over for this since I saw it at the movies. I think it’s Pixar’s best short from a comedic standpoint. {via}

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Monica: I am so glad that YouTube wasn’t around when I made my first movie, Time Portal. It’s strangely compelling with an earnestness that seems to correspond with youth. You can just imagine them thinking this is great stuff. Highlights: at 4′39″, a special effect; at 8′00″, the climactic fight scene. What’s the backstory on the lack of shoes?

Inappropriate Movie Soundtracks: the basic idea is to ruin a scene by replacing the score with something else. Kottke’s got some great ones, but there’s even more out there: Robocop, The Shawshank Redemption, V for Vendetta, Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Lord of the Rings

Font Conference: is there anything that Comic Sans can’t do? {via}

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog: new Web series by Joss Whedon starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. My four-year-old still talks about Captain Hammer, in fact.

It’s Called epMotion: wow, I never would have guessed that this sort of thing would be used to move high-end laboratory equipment. {via}

Why Schools Make You Tuck in Your Shirt: you could never get away with that if you had to wear breeches. {via}

Sylvania Light Bulbs: if this is the mythology of the people in Thailand, then I have to wonder how kids sleep at night there. Heck, just seeing this commercial on TV as a youth would have done it for me. {via}

Where the Hell is Matt?: so this thing’s been going on since 2006 and this is the first I’ve heard of it? Gosh, this Internet thing is pretty big. Definitely check out the higher-quality version. {via}

“New Flavors for Addresses on the Web Are on the Way”: so some lucky person’s going to finally be able to register clownpenis.fart.

[UPDATE: Thinking about it a little more, this raises typosquatting to new heights. The real lucky person is the one who gets the registry privilege for the "cmo" TLD. He or she can churn out DNS records for google.cmo, yahoo.cmo, etc. and just place ads galore.]

George Carlin - “Religion is bullshit”: the late comedian skewers religion quite effectively. Umm, NSFW.

Dance Off with the Star Wars Stars 2008: wait for the third entrant, it’s worth it. Also, get a life, people. {via}

“Cup of Brown Joy”: the only rap about tea I’ve ever heard. Also, the only rap music video featuring tea that I’ve ever seen. Also, the only music of any kind where I’ve ever heard the words “oolong” or “assam.” {via}

Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot: I just had serious flashbacks to Ghost Squad. {via}

The Onion - “Liberty City Police Face Allegations Of Incompetence, Brutality”: “… more than 830,000 civilians have been murdered ….” That and SNL’s recent sketch really make me want the game.

Burn After Reading Trailer: looks like an interesting movie. {via}

Dean Kamen Unveils New Invention: awesome robotic arm! Sarah Lacy strikes out again.

[UPDATE (5/31/2008): Here's some Lacy-less video.]

Social Networking Wars: ooo, I love it! I especially like how they depicted Friendster. {via}

Start-Up Junkies: looks intriguing. I’ll have to watch this. {via}

[UPDATE (5/29/2008): I've watched two episodes now and I am very impressed. There's an inordinate amount of cliché, but that's business.]

“Lurch on Batman”: I had completely forgotten about this frequent cliché on Batman. Others: Colonel Klink, Santa Claus, Sammy Davis Jr., Green Hornet and Kato, Dick Clark, and Jerry Lewis. Hilarious! {via}

“I Will Derive”: OMG, nerd parody. {via}

5 Men in a Limo: I’ve been sitting on this one since 2006. Great little video featuring the voices you all know from trailers.

Weezer “Pork and Beans”: can’t say I’m a big fan, but this video is awesome! {via}

Slow-Motion Face Punch Videos: I don’t much care what the story is behind these videos; they’re so odd to watch. And not nearly as amusing as SNL’s “People Getting Punched in the Face Right Before Eating.” {via}

Totally Like Whatever: unfunny but true “poetry.” Also, watch “The Impotence of Proofreading.” {via}

SNL “McCain in One”: he’s got the “oldness.”

Conan’s Version of Grand Theft Auto: “I’m just trying to get sheets.” {via}

New Hancock First Look: another trailer for Hancock. This one really expands on the first one and I’m a little more excited about the film.

Previously on Lost - What?: hilarious montage. {via}

Pen-Spinning Tournament 2008: holy crap! I’m a pen spinner but I have a hard time saying that after watching these videos! {via}

UK YouTube: click on one of the Featured Videos. April Fool’s! Wife: “why does that bring you such joy?” Me: “I don’t know, but it sure does.” Wife: “that is more funny to me than anything else”

Food Court Musical: this is definitely one of their best scenes, but I think that was because it was staged with the mall’s complicity.

Chinese MC Hammer: ho hum about the actual video and the move-by-move imitation. What really gets me is the knitting lady in the background, apparently oblivious to the goings-on. {via}

The Ayn Rand Institute YouTube Channel: I can’t wait to pore over these. I love Objectivism and I love free videos—match made in heaven!

Rolling Bridge: arresting concept.

How to Pull Off a Rickroll in Real Life: wow. Just wow.

Reporter Hates Anchor. Anchor Hates Reporter.: this is awkward and awful. In other words, great TV.

Ferrari vs. Smart Car: wow, that is incredible. But it seems like it’d be unstable since it wasn’t designed to do that kind of speed. {via}

Star Wars vs. Saul Bass: that is some nice work. {via}

The History of LOLCats: I’ve seen some dispute as to the origins. {via}

Best Wedding Dance… Ever?: I could agree with that. The groom’s got some funky ape-arms though. That creeped me out.

Funny But No: rejected Valentines from Shoebox Greetings. {via}

Trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: oh yeah, I’ll be there. Lucas couldn’t screw it up enough for me to pass it up. {via}

Musical Crystal Glasses Like Never Before: awesome work!

Animator vs. Animation - The Game: a more interactive version of those awesome videos I’ve covered before.

Extraordinary Breastfeeding: whoa. Just wow. Good gravy.

Exposure: well, the Super Bowl commercial will definitely draw clicks but I don’t know if this warrants a “viewer discretion advised” warning. I think they had to put the voiceover “beaver” because otherwise people might think it was a huge gopher like in Caddyshack. {via}

Transformers Universe: oh now that’s what Transformers should have looked like. {via}

Go Daddy’s Super Bowl Commercial: in a change from previous years, Bob Parsons released the approved ads a week before the big game. I still think they’re not as good as my favorite Go Daddy ad, but they’ll drive a buttload of traffic on game day.

You Suck at Photoshop: hilarious Photoshop tutorials on YouTube using a specific theme.

2 Girls 1 Cup Tribute Song Video: excellent work about the “2 Girls 1 Cup” eye Draino.

Every Day Normal Guy Rap Song: the anti-braggadocio rap song. “Because I’m not very confident/And I’m weak for a man.” And there’s more if you like this one. {via}

Argument to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony: very clever. {via}

Lasagna Cat: live-action Garfield strip reenactments. {via}

Make Mine Freedom: neat little cartoon from the 40s explaining a lot. {via}

Tom Cruise Scientology Indoctrination Video: my initial reaction was peals of laughter followed by confusion as to why they kept quick-cutting his sentences. Then I realized that this was a serious endeavor and that that’s how he talks. Sweet mama pajama!

Big Think: I haven’t watched any videos from this site yet—hey, I’m at work—but it seems to have landed some big names and who couldn’t stand for some big thinking.

Best of Starvin’ Marvin: hilarious episode of South Park.

Tom Mabe Funny Phone Call: this one’s a priceless prank call. Excellent composure the entire time. {via}

Hancock Trailer: I agree that it’s probably going to be a train wreck (ironic that that was portended within the trailer itself) but I busted up laughing at the whale being thrown. {via}

Little St. Nick: the latest from my online crush. I like it, but the room is definitely not as brightly lit as before.

iPhysics: this is almost worth the hassle of jailbreaking, I’ve got to say. Demo video here, here, here, and here. I can’t wait until the SDK is available and this stuff becomes legit. {via}

Funny Cat Cartoon: yep, that’s about right. {via}

My Early Muir Owl: a very creative marriage proposal. {via}

Lost Trailer: OMG, Season 4 cannot start soon enough for me! {via}

“In The Hamptons”: parody of “In the Ghetto” featuring Arthur Laffer for some reason. {via}

You’re Insane: uhh, I cracked up in spite of myself.

The Gratitude Dance: what does this remind me of? {via}

The Toddler Song: I’ve always contended that my job as a parent is primarily about keeping my daughters alive. It can be challenging at times. {via}

Andy Kaufman Trusted You: yeah, I always suspected he was unfunny but this cinches it. {via}

Here Comes Another Bubble: I know I’m a few days late to the game, but I don’t have access to YouTube at work so I couldn’t really blog it until I watched it. High-larious! {via, um, every other blog}

National City—Eminent Domain Gone Wild: so that’s what Drew Carey’s been up to lately. I hate eminent domain. {via}

2 Guys 1 Cup: this is the version of 2 girls 1 cup that you can actually see without severe puking. What’s 2 girls 1 cup (NSFW, NSFYE, NSFA), you ask? Picture a video of tubgirl or something that makes goatse a welcome sight.

Akira Kurosawa Movies in the Public Domain: Rashomon’s the only one I’ve seen before.

Green Team with Will Ferrell: I always knew that nihilism was behind environmentalism, now I’ve got proof. NSFW, unless you’ve got your headphones on.
