This is probably the funniest damn thing I’ve seen in a week. (via Defamer) I’m not doing my usual thumb because this piece of brilliance needs to be all by itself.
- Update -
I originally had the YouTube version posted here, but the clip from Acceptable TV is of higher quality.
Jerry and I have fallen in love with Cute with Chris lately. We both think that Chris Leavins is indeed cute; the show ain’t half-bad either. A while back he did a dramatic reading of Fergie’s Glamorous, and as a result many viewers have sent in YouTubes of little girls dancing around to the song. This is my favorite of the ones he has posted on his blog; I think it reminds me of my nieces about two or three years ago.
In high school I did one really bad video with some other guys as part of an English assignment. It was a modernization of a scene from Julius Caesar. We wore sheets. I stood up from a chair in the corner and yelled, “Yeah!” at some point; that was my total contribution to the video. I wonder if one of the other guys still has that video, and I wonder if it will end up on the YouTubes.
This is the latest in my long list of reasons why I want to be Patrick Wilson’s manservant. I would clean up the crumbs left on the kitchen floor after he made toast with my tongue.
To complete the cycle started by one off-the-cuff comment from one MagnusFromBerlin, here is Barenaked Ladies’ “Be My Yoko Ono.” I swear I won’t always be this lazy in my posts, just embedding YouTube videos and calling it a day. I feel like this topic of discussion needs to be closed, and I’m giving Crump some more “research materials.”
I was im-ing Crump in Australia who has never seen this video. It’s one of my favorites, but I don’t think I’ve seen it since its heyday, way back in nineteen eighty-whatever.
I remember that the same director did a similar video for Yoko Ono with a giant bell. If anyone can find that, I’d love to see it. Junior, this video is also for you, as I know how you love trippy music videos.
This may have been my first exposure to The Art of Noise. In junior high and high school they were my favorite group while everyone else listened to Depeche Mode and The Cure. This may be one of the reasons why people called me weird and a druggie…even though I never touched a drug or had a sip of alcohol until after high school.
Hey kids! Look what I can do! The latest Scissor Sisters video. (via BoyzBlog)
Bear with me while I learn new things. This is usually the purview of watchthisvid, but I wanted to see if I could join the YouTube group of cool kids one year too late. This little vid takes quite a bit from that Matrix ping-pong dealy that your mom, who usually gets onto the computer to send you the latest kitties-in-hats powerpoint, sent you last year.
