Top Ten Videos - May 27th
Without doubt the funniest video I’ve watched all week. Made as part of series of 26 similar films by Eric Fensler back in 2003 these viral videos are still just as funny as ever. This one stood out for me as being off my chair hilarious.
2. David Blaine’s Street Magic pt2
This one wins out in terms of performance alone. A brilliantly observed parody of Blaine who stares into the camera whenever something magical happens.
3. That Boy Needs Therapy, music video.
I’m getting really sick of Democracy player now and it’s stupid ways. One night it decided to download 50 files from a feed for no reason at all. It’s lost some of the videos I set to keep; deleted files are gone forever rather than sent to trash; it jumps out of full screen mode if it can’t play a file (very often) and it gives me the colour wheel far too much.
And I can’t find the video anywhere online. Maybe I dreamt it.
4. Space Adventure 14 - RCK Chain of Command
It has perhaps the worst production design I’ve seen for stuff like this and an equally uninspiring title but this hit or miss show really hit a home run for me this time round (GOAL!!!!). Perhaps the children who are clowns but don’t know it. I’ve no idea if the clown stuff was appropriated or new but the whole thing fitted together really well and is very funny.
The highest ranking youtube poop this week is again by Pikawil64 who I featured last week. Having watched many of these films now I’m counting myslef lucky that my way in was via one of the best.
A pretty average episode of a quality show by worthy of inclusion in this chart for a second week for this quote alone: "Fuck fashion. Fuck the Fashion industry for perpetuating this need for newness amidst this huge surplus and fuck you for taking away our creativity. " Priceless - and a damn shame the guests and their view don’t match with those of the braindead show hosts.
7. Youtube Poop: The Quest for Gannon’s Dinner
The brilliant Tim Drage (from Spite Your Face) turns up as a bone fide pooper (and before me - the swine) - to prove that once again he’s on the pulse of what is too cool for school. Apart from introducing me to circuit bending he also was the first person to tell me abou the wonders of After Effects. This was many many years ago when AE was on version 4 and I’d just bought my first computer! His poops are amoung the best - natch.
8. Hotel Mario Intro (Nouns replaced with explosions)
Well let’s not forget I’ve been building a YTP website all week so it makes sense that a good few of them oud turn up here.
9. MAMA LUIGI IS A NUCLEAR WEAPON
Perhaps the most aggressive youtube Poop I’ve seen thus far. Luigi exploding is especially effective and somewhat chilling.
And here in the covered ‘vlog-crime’ spot is a rather sweet man with a big beard and one of those hidious headset microphnes. Here’s clearly a little bored and one wonders why he’s posting at all - but then that the problem - if you don’t post then you piss off your auidnce for not being consistant. Stupid!
I’d also recommend you listen to this to further understand the nature of the problem. It’s a brilliantly articulated critique of the quaintness of home brew media such as Dr. Bill here. Another example of the consistently brilliant Fabrications
