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.

Review: High Times Editorial Office

I can't say I'm normally a fan of CollegeHumor, but this popular series (which by now, you've probably either heard of or seen) stands out as one of the best serials on the web. The videos give a fictional glimpse into the innards of the High Times editorial office, taking The Office as its model (sort of--mostly just the opening music and title).

Thanks to a credits feature CHTV has added, I can attribute the great writing to Dan Gurewitch with additional material from Streeter Seidell, and credit Ben Schwartz with a strong performance as the boss. My only criticism is that many of the stoner jokes seem derivative or hackneyed, for example: obsession with decriminalization, fascination with spectrum inversion, listening to Phish (does anyone still get high and do this?). On the whole, it's funny stuff.

There's more, like this article which tries to take account of video sites they say produce "consistent niche content." It lists Current, VBS.tv, and Atom, omitting Channel101, Channel102, FunnyOrDie, etc. Hrm, maybe they're not "big" enough?

Update: Gabe & Max's Internet Thing was nominated for an ECNY
