My Top 10 Online Video for May 2007

Category: News, Top 10

Nothing to do with anything but nice photos of fish that my sister would prefer to look at rather than watching any of these shitty webmovies

With all these web movies and vlogs I’ve been watching lately I thought I’d compile a top 10 of this week’s personal favourites. Direct links to media in the title of each entry - links to source (often very different address) at base of entry. 10 at bottom 1 at top - why not go to the bottom of the page and work up.


1. Mail Box Prank

In the true style of viral videos this looks like it was ripped from a spanish tv. Can it be real? Surely not. Can it be spoof? Again, such attention to detail would be near impossible. It just is what it is and we are all monkeys laugh at ourselves in mirrors.

2. Hustle

I’ve linked to this one earlier this month but it goes into the chart at number two for working on various levels. Apart being funny and clever it looks cool and is timeless as only the best media is.

3. I Saw the Sign

Perhaps one of the funniest punchlines I’ve seen on web movie.

4. Showmageddon by Bowl Guys

At 22 minutes far too long to make an effective podcast but this show hits a lot of he right buttons. Really well crafted comedy and some fine performances. I hope they do more short things for my short attention span.

5. Spoonguard

An early Joel Veitch flash animation that I was recently reminded of. Always worth a re-entry into the chart for it’s silliness and simplicity.

6. Home Star Runner: Mile

This unusual episode of strong bad emails is rather effective for it’s self parody and uber childish humour. Masters of their game.

7. Emo Police

A remarkable “cops” style spoof. Really amazing hair too. This is hoe Hope is Emo could be like if it was done with intergity. Dark ending though - be warned.

8. It’s a Sin

Reposted as part of PJK’s best of season this b/w music video is remonincent of the work of Dennis Potter and demostrates Paul potentail as a romantic actor. Pitched at just the right mood.

9. Rich Pretty Girl Episode 30

I shouldn’t like it but maybe it’s a guilty pleasure. I’ve no idea is the host is real or performing or somewhere in between but she is clearly very talented. The unseen male voice also works brilliantly - I might write about this one at some point.

10. A Conversation About Distrubuted Production

If it’s worth writing about then it’s worth being placed in this months chart. It’s got a snappy title and it’s dircted by the new Stanley Kubrick. Uber geeks at work - what them go.
