Joe Wong on Letterman
I'm not much for watching clips of stand up comedy on YouTube, there's something about the experience that isn't as funny or immediate as watching it live or on TV.
But I am entranced this clip of a scrawny, nerve-wracked, unknown comedian named Joe Wong absolutely killing it on Letterman. Partially because it is really funny, but partially because it came to me via this blog post by comedian Louis C.K.
Louis brings home what a great, unlikely moment this is for any comedian, and what it takes to nail it as well as the formerly anonymous Joe Wong.
If you have time, read the blog post first, if not, enjoy the video below.

Baby in Autotune
I dedicate this song to all the talentless hacks who have built their careers using autotune.

That Box Cat Is At It Again
He's upped his game this time, for real. What is WITH this cat and boxes?
David Caruso One-liners
I hope that the reason he puts his glasses on while delivering these one-liners is to hide the fact that he's crying about the shitty writing on this show.

Woman Sends Stripper to 10-Year High School Reunion to Pretend to be Her
This is actually a very cute six-minute short film about this woman who was a total grunge kid in high school deciding she hated everyone too much to actually go to her reunion, so she hired a Suicide Girl-esque stipper to go in her place. She outfitted the stripper with a microphone and receiver so that she could feed her information about whoever she was talking to. Pretty good plan.
Slow loris loves getting tickled
This is so cute, it made my day. I wanted to go out and get one until I learned that the slow loris marks its territory with urine constantly. All day long, it pees all over everything in it's path.

I Present Lauren Clyne's Newest Obsession
This guy has about a trillion videos. One of them is called "Why is there tragedy in my life?"
Sorry, Phil.
R Kelly Real Talk
R Kelly is truly one of the most magical human beings of all time. He seriously does whatever the fuck he wants and then will sing-talk about it for all eternity.
This music video comes complete with a disclaimer, ghetto-fabulous bedazzled jackets, and real to life phone pauses. Just when you think things can't get any more amazing, the end bitch slaps you across your face and burns all your motha fuckin clothes in the yard. Remember, what they ate don't make us shit.

Cut to the Chase
Sometimes we post videos on here, and we recommend starting at a specific point. There is a simple way to amend the video's embed code, so that it begins playing at the point you want it to.
Just add &start=XX to the end of the URL in the embed code. XX=seconds. So if you want the viewer to jump to :27, you'll add &start=27 to the end of the URL. If you want the viewer to jump to 1:14 you'll add &start=94, since 1:14= 94 seconds. When you're embedding a video from YouTube the URL is listed twice, so make sure you add &start=XX to the end of BOTH URLs.
Example Time!
Say I want viewers to start watching the Fox Snow Dive* video just before the dive begins,
I will take the embed code from YouTube:
and add &start=27 after each YouTube URL:
and Voila!
Feel free to respond with questions!
*Note: This video is used only for the sake of example, watching the Fox Dive from the start is recommended for suspense-building purposes.

Disney Templates
Granted stealing from your own piggy bank is no Kimba the White Lion level of theft (let us never forget), but I still feel a bit pwn3d.
Thnx Phil for finding this one, and devouring a bit of my soul.

Little Big Cremaster 4
This post is basically for me and Mego. Little Big Planet is a video game where you can create levels to play; I don't fully understand it. But someone has gone to great lengths to create a Little Big Planet level based on Cremaster 4.
If you don't know what the Cremaster Cycle is, it is a series of five movies created by Matthew "Mr. Bjork" Barney that have lavish production values yet are almost completely unwelcoming to the viewer. They are stunning, expensive, nearly free of dialog, audacious, featureing hard core punk bands, amputees, vast amounts of Vaseline, and Barney himself in multiple roles including a goat-man and serial killer; they are nigh-impossible to understand, pretentious, occasionally 3 hours long, and...well, this is basically a post for me and Mego.
There is another, lesser level based on Cremaster 1 here.

Japanese Human Beatbox Kid
This is a clip from Japan's hit show, "Three Maître D's with Cotton Candy Hair Host a Variety Hour."
This kid could give Rahzel a run for his money (assuming he could do the beat... and the chorus... at the saaame tiiiiiiiiiime...).

Billy Bob Thornton = Psychopath
Billy Bob Thornton and his band went on this Canadian music show to talk about their music, and Thornton had some kind of meltdown because the host mentioned the fact that Thornton's also an actor and screenwriter -- which he was instructed not to mention. It takes several minutes of really fucked up weirdness before Billy Bob just comes out and says what his problem is. One of the weirdest exchanges I've ever seen.

Eminem Just Doesn't Get It
Having apparently spent his fortune on whores, drugs and subprime real estate, Eminem got back together with Dr. Dre to bang out a beat that sounds like Dresdon Dolls if they actually were German sex dolls being fucked by Nazi scientists, threw together a few of what can only charitably be called rhymes and aimed the track directly between the eyes of the EASIEST POSSIBLE TARGETS.
Bret Michaels! Samantha Ronson & Lindsay Lohan! Kim Kardashian! Sarah Palin! John Mayer!
Thank god Eminem is back to expose society's sacred cows for the ridiculous charlatans they are! Like the part where he demonstrates how hideous Amy Winehouse is -- I'D NEVER HAVE KNOWN!
There are also some allusions to films like "Rain Man" and "Transformers" and "Jailhouse Rock" and "Fargo" -- FOR NO REASON.
But there is one funny Star Trek joke in here.

Ministry - NWO (Live Adios Puta Madres DVD Preview)
Ministry performing my favorite song live on their farewell tour.
SE7EN Title Sequence
It's hard to imagine just how startlingly original this opening credits sequence was in 1995, given how completely ubiquitous this sort of aesthetic would later become. At the time, this thing creeped everybody out and inspired a generation of music video directors and designers. I'll never forget the first time I saw SE7EN, in a Jersey Shore basement, where my friends and I watched rated-R American movies instead of going to the beach. I digress, but I must say that if you've never seen SE7EN or THE USUAL SUSPECTS, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you do so, but watch SUSPECTS first and then SE7EN -- later in the same day, if possible. It will fuck you up.
Oh, and I suggest watching this in full-screen mode for the best possible effect.
Fox News - Your Leader in Shitty Jam Bands
Mike Huckabee scraped the bottom of the artistic barrel over at Fox Business News and put together this band for a segment on his show. I'm not sure if the segment had a title, but I'm giving it one now: it's called "Mike Huckabee Proves that Literally ANYONE Can Perform in a Band on National Television!"
I was somewhat surprised by their sound - If you told me that a bunch of people who worked for Fox News were going to play music, I would have assumed that the resulting sound would resemble the death rattles of a thousand women and children rather than an actual song. Once I got past that amazement, I was able to recognize that they don't sound good anyway.
