Video killed the radio star
Sunday, July 11, 2010 x 6:34 PM

I love youtube. In fact, I probably have an unhealthy obsession with it. So, allow me to share a plethora of videos with you guys. You certainly don't have to watch them all, because that would probably take a really long time, but they're all awesome videos. So please watch the ones that seem interesting!
Let's start with jpmetz, who is so funny.
This is the first video of her's I saw, and it literally just had me laughing and smirking the entire time. I want a bird like that, too!
Do any of you watch Craig Ferguson? I never remember to watch him if I'm up that late, but I do like to youtube some of his interviews and shows. His
interview with Rupert Grint is hilarious, especially with the whole ice cream truck ordeal;
his interview with Tom Felton is funny, too, even if it get a little boring towards the end. And while we're on the subject of Harry Potter, is anyone excited for the
next movie? It'll probably be terrible, but no doubt I'm going to be seeing it at midnight.
While we're on the subject of trailers,
Easy A, which unfortunately doesn't come out until September, looks really good! Definitely one that I hope to be seeing - and it helps that the main character is a red head, of course. (;
Let's take a break from our serious video-watching and listen to some music.
I'm Only Happy When it Rains by Garbage is a good song that my sister showed me (she's into that band, right now, apparently.) Irony is always fun.
This Too Shall Pass by OK GO is a really cool music video, and it's a pretty catchy song. Currently, I'm obsessed with
this song, Shark in the Water by V V Brown. It's so good!
Baby there's a shark in the water (water), I caught them barkin' at the moon, better be soon.. If you watch teen nick/degrassi, you've probably heard it, but it's a really good song. Another song that I really like is
this one, by the winner of the EuroVision contest this year. It's a little strange because of her accent, but it's catchy and she's adorable.
Here's an awesome home-made music video by possibly the awesomest person ever, Ghsoti. Bo Burnham is a fantastically inappropriate, crack-up singer, and
I'm Bo Yo is a great piece of art by him - be warned, though, it's pretty inappropriate. And to finish up with music, we've all heard TiK ToK by Ke$ha, right? But have you heard the
parody of it?
These aren't exactly parodies, but they are sketches that make fun of things, so close enough:
this one is a really funny, albeit kind of terrible, sketch reenacting the BP oil spill; and
this one is so funny. It's making fun of the sameness of all "award winning" movies - it made me laugh so hard, so even though it's not on youtube, I had to include it.
Here is someone making fun of teenagers in a not-so-subtly sarcastic way (bewarned, it's really long). And if you're looking for a really cool stop-action type of video,
this one is really entertaining and creative.
Let's see..
How about some community channel? She's possibly the best thing EVER on youtube, aside from Charlie, Alex, and the vlogbrothers. Here are some of my favorites of hers, and they all just make me laugh and laugh - plus they're all true. Be careful, though; you could end up watching hours of her videos if you don't watch out! Ready? Try,
couldn't fit another bite,
please say yes or no,
what are you wearing, and
grocery stores.
Of course, although she might be the
Queen of youtube, there's tons of other awesome and hilarious users out there who make videos.
Sxephil, anyone? (I can't pick out one of his videos - all of them are hilarious. Just watch a few!) Or the
vlogbrothers (the
nerdfighter FAQ is a good place to start, or just a random video works too! How about,
this one?) And then there's
Charlie, and no matter
what he does, it's always funny and adorable and fricken amazing. (And he's a
redhead! Kinda.) But wait! We can't forget about Charlie's best mate,
Alex, aka Nerimon aka Alex, who is also adorable and funny and hilarious, although he's a bit less family friendly. But that usually just makes him funnier!
This video of his is funny, although it has a lot of stuff about his music in it which might not be appealing, even though
Pokemon What Happened to You is a brilliant song if you're a pokemon nerd. (Um. :D) Also, another "big" youtube star is
Meekakitty, and she's pretty awesome, even if she can get a little annoying sometimes.
Here's one of her funnier videos. Oh; how about the name that practically everyone knows?
Nigahiga is practically legend, as are his
really funny videos.
Hold up - we can't forget about the smaller youtube stars, now can we?
Here are some awesome videos from lesser known youtubers, all of whom I really like.
Of course, I've gotta mention the most common uses of youtube - for
stupid, funny videos or for watching tv shows, movies, and anime. (I'm not one to watch a ton of anime, or even really to read a lot of manga, but I have to say the besssstt anime ever is
Ginga Densetsu Weed, which my awesome aforementioned friend Ghosti got me into. If you like warrior's, you'll probably be into GDW, although it's a bit.. darker. And then, although this isn't anime, I'm half-watching the
Watership Down tv series because I loved the book when I was a kid.)
Ooh, how about some gross science-y stuff? You can watch a really, really cool video about a
carpal tunnel syndrome surgery if you're into that kind of stuff. Warning: if you're squeamish, don't click! But it's really fascinating - you can see all of the stuff in his hand! Is that fat that's spilling out? I wouldn't know.
And lastly, because I stole the title from this song,
Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles. I don't overly like the song, but it's alright. And I like that one lyric - it fit this post splendidly, so.
Overloaded on videos? Me too. Sorry it got a little bit like "Youtube 101" there towards the end, but I feel it's all vital stuff that everyone should know! (; Besides, this isn't even half of all of the awesome stuff and people who are out there. I promise I won't usually post this much content all at once! Lucky for you I have family friends that are coming over from England to live at my house for a week, possibly two, and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get on the computer. Which means I probably won't post for a while (that gives you guys some time to digest all this stuff, anyways) but comments might be a bit slow from me, too. We'll have to see. And I didn't really have time to edit through this post because I'm supposed to be cleaning, so it's a bit choppy. Hope your summer is going great so far!
