This one goes out to the dog-lovers

Some girls are just all about puppies. You know who you are. I think some people might not have patience for this video, but the people who like it will really like it. It's "Puppy Love," from the Kissing Booth, a comedy showcase in New York.

Solution to Beard-Related Problems

I got angry looking at the most recently posted "comedy" videos on YouTube. So instead of dealing with those emotions, I watched this. You could watch it too. It's by Waverly (who I obviously really like, else why would I constantly post their videos). It's called "Beards Only Club."

How to Seduce Women

This is kind of funny, except for the ad at the end and maybe being a bit too long. Paul Rudd's first few moments on screen are great. Got it from my friend who runs this comic.

Everything Poops

Great new one from Waverly. Maybe it's not everyone's style, but something about this really appeals to me.

Simple concept, good execution.

UCBComedy.com Lauched!

No video today (sorry). But it's exciting to find out that UCB Comedy is live. Many of the videos here (What if there's bears, YouTube War, Amy at the Club, etc.) were made by performers and teachers at the UCB Theatre in New York.

Plus there's a video up (Shirts vs. Skins) with Matt Walsh and Matt Besser.

How Fox News calibrated their obituaries

When a 24-hour news channel needs to align themselves relative to the world, they use a simple process. You put names on both ends of a spectrum and put everything else between them. For Fox News, the two ends are Anna Nicole Smith:

and Kurt Vonnegut:

What Swamp-Guys Really Talk About

A simplistically animated video by Will Hines and Terry Jinn. I like the whole thing, but the end is my favorite. And the sipping sound. Here's "Guy Talk:"

To YouTube page.

Like Citizen Kane, but with a Flower

This one's from Waverly. It was posted back in September, but you might have missed it at the time. It tells the story of a young flower in a harsh world.

What people were watching at 3:09 AM Today

In case you thought everyone had the same YouTube taste as you, check out what people were watching while you were sleeping. This is a sample of what people were watching from 3:09 AM to 3:10 AM on January 4, 2008. I don't recommend any of these videos.

• Hannah Montana Dirty
• Shia LeBeouf Running Away
• le Bye Bye 2007 de RBO

The Perfect YouTube Video

The Internet is not a kind place, and most YouTube videos are shit. Then why speak poorly of a relatively good video? Why needlessly foster ill will (apart from this annoying reason)?

Because "YouTube Is My Life" is not perfect. But Nalts, a so-called weblebrity, had this to say about it:

"I’m on a mad campaign to get this featured by YouTube editors because it’s just perfect. Clever, well produced, fantastic cameos by some YouTube weblebrities (TheHill88, MarkDay and Sean Bedlam). It’s a totally addictive song, it’s well lit, the sound effects are fantastic, the acting is dead pan, the humor is intellectual, the camera movements are thoughtful, and the stop-animated finger puppets are just plain cute." (Emphasis added)

Perfect? Perfect this video is not. It's mildly amusing. I did not, unlike several commenters on the video, want my five minutes back. But the song is certainly not "totally addictive," the acting is not at all dead pan, and I would not recommend you watch it.

Like many communities (college campuses come to mind), YouTube has subcultures that are strongly insular. I guess "YouTube Is My Life" hits a demographic of viewers who really love talking about YouTube, but using YouTube as subject matter here only serves the purpose of self-promotion (unlike YouTube War). In fact, it seems like the purpose of Nalts's "mad campaign" is not just to get this video featured, but to have his name attached to it.

Legendary Creature Caught on Tape

Here's a recent video from ThoseLilRabbits. It is shocking new footage of a long-forgotten beast.

Good performances, good use of a shitty camera, good concept. Notice how someone left a comment asking whether it was staged or not.
