Pablo Franciso - Movie Trailer Guy

Since the movie trailer guy died recently, I think it's appropriate that we pay our respects by doing the one thing that Mr. Don LaFontaine made us do - laugh. And while we're at it we should definitely pay our disrespects to Keanu Reeves. Never hurts.

Yacht Rock

This is the first of a wonderful, wonderful series about one of musics greatest little interludes. It was around the time when having sex on speed boats while hopped up on cocaine was something you did before breakfast, which is the meal you had before going to the office to smoke a cigarette and shag your secretary. Yeah, it was the good old days. Moonlighting was a hit. Pastels were hot.

David Caruso Parodies

It appears as though some of you out there took the challenge to parody David Caruso to heart. I warned you that it was impossible, yet in your misguided attempts at humor, you forced this trash on the world:

A Parody that Palins in Comparison

Some people are just parody-proof. Take, for examle, David Caruso. Try to parody him... I dare you. Couldn't do it, could you? That's because Mr. Caruso is his own best parody, and by doing nothing more than simply existing (part of which involves having blindingly electric red hair).

But parodying these type of people is not without cause... because it brings the self and self-parody into glaring relief.

So here is a parody followed by the actual parody. Confused? Good. So is she.

Pop Tarts

Everyone loves Pop Tarts. They quite possibly represent the greatest innovation in food packaging of the 20th Century. Long before freeze-dried fruit made its way into cereals, the Pop Tart had grain, sugar, and fruit-like stuff all in one convenient, tasty pastry. Hey, are you still reading this?

Sketch Comedy

One of the greatest things about the Internet, and specifically video sites like YouTube, is that it allows random people to do sketch comedy. Random people, as Wikipedia has taught us, are like the free market - they are always correct and the best solution to any problem. Well, my problem today was picking a video to share.

Musical Comedy

Being a musical comedian has many advantages. The audience doesn't get tired of your material as quickly when it's set to music, and it's easy to split it up and market singles. Most importantly, it somehow gives you the freedom to be as offensive as you want without actually offending people.

That's Showbiz

My grandfather used to take me to Showbiz Pizza regularly so I could watch the herky-jerky animatronic robot machines perform their songs. I never got a chance to apologize to him for having to endure all of those rockin' songs for kids, but apparently no apologies are in order. They actually appealed to kids at one level, but attended to the adults on another - kinda like whip cream and Britney Spears.

Wooden Spoon Prank

I somehow ended up with a collection of at least a dozen wooden spoons over the years; some acquired from relatives, others stolen from the homeless, but my point is I now know why I am supposed to have too many. And people doubt the existence of God. Could twelve wooden spoons find there way to a single owner merely by the chaos of the cosmos? I should think not!

Airport Insecurity

There's a new kind of terror that we all must be careful to avoid. Terrorists have found a way to transport noxious gas into airports and the scary thing is the delivery mechanism is none other than a real live human. All of us could fall victim to the silent, but violent, gas at one time or another.

Now I'm sure the local news could have sensationalized this even more, but hopefully I've done a half-decent job scaring the terrorist out of you.

And since Garmin has given the world the most cheesiest cheese of all cheeses it has ever seen two Super Bowls ago, that is what you are going to get today.

My only hope is that we can fight this frightening future together by spreading the word and being on dutiful lookout for these subversive elements and bring them to justice!

History of the Internet 101

This might be a review for some of you, but it'll do you good to see it again.

This is really old, taking me back to my early college years (8 years or so - yikes!)... Flash was just starting to catch on and the beginning of the widespread internet video world was taking foot in places like shockwave.com and icebox.com to name a few.

Watching this is like watching a film from the 1920s. By todays standards it looks amateur, and you can all but see footage of Joe Sparks at his computer overusing and abusing Flash's features with little or no relevance to the plot, but Radiskull and Devil Doll ruled the internet world for a short time (really, they made and sold stuffed devil dolls and everything), only to return to hell where they rule for all eternity. . .

The music is still really great, with a lot of inspiration from early Beastie Boys.

Here is the first in the series of eight:
http://www.atomfilms.com/film/radiskull1_devil_doll.jsp?channelKeyword=channel_radiskull

After the first three episodes it really goes down hill, but if you can stomach the first half of the second one, I urge you to at least watch all three - you'll get extra credit points:

A Touching Love Story

In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought it would be appropriate to pick a video that demonstrates that true love is still possible in this wham bam world we live in. So in quick-like fashion, here it be:

Capturing the Spirit of My Generation

This clip really sums up the magnitude of the social importance of a certain video game on my generation. Its every sound effect is permanently etched on our brains. It doesn't feel like it was made by a corporation with a marketing team, engineering staff, board meetings, and blah blah blah. No, it feels more like the third stone tablet handed down by God himself.

The crowds cheers gives me chills...



Nostalgically,

Cute Kids Can Sell Insurance

I know. I know. You're probably thinking, it's only day five and I'm already breaking the rules. Well, it's MY blog and I'm writing the rules as I go. So today you get, not one, not two, but, yes, three videos for the price of one. Take some pills and read on and I swear we'll get through this together.

This first one is a well-known "oldie but goodie", posted on MySpace and Facebook comments everywhere. But the following two are lesser-known follow-ons to this series of commercials.

Oh, and tomorrow, I'll be sure to keep the video commercial-free. I promise.

I Feel Great

...and so should the people who made this amazing commercial. I don't know how this got the green light at the drawing board, but thank God it did! This is one of the all-time great commercials in my opinion. You may never look at breakfast bars the same way again.

A Certain Wrist Injury Won't Stop This Man

It's pretty inspiring to see what people can achieve in the face of adversity. This is chiefly noticeable when watching old live footage of Def Leppard, but there are many others that have also overcome adversity to do great things. Deaf composers, short NBA players, plus-size models, Carrot Top... the list goes on.

But this able news team dug a little deeper and found an example of a man with true courage despite the fact that he is afflicted with one of the most debilitating of conditions.

David Blaine

This is one I can watch over and over again, and in fact I do. Great concept. Great execution. It has a prequel and a sequel but in my opinion you should see this one first for that "love at first sight" effect. A+ and three gold stars!

I'm the Internet Video Guy

Hello world!

I'm the Internet Video Guy. I scour the web for video clips worthy of your valuable time. So bookmark this page, check it daily, and instantly improve the quality of your life - it's really that easy!

The first video in this series is a little gem that pays much needed praise to the B-52s - that quirky band out of Atlanta, GA that got people gettin' it on in shacks in the 80s. Bizarre yes, but strangely the acting is far less bizarre than the actual song. I can imagine the look on the sound engineer's face when they were laying down the vocals.

Without further ado:
