Waterbed For Sale

All it costs is your humility.

Why are all the most ridiculous viral videos from foreign TV shows? Hollywood, take note.

PS – sorry for the shorter posts. These tradeshows take up a lot of my day, and when I do have time to relax, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer.

The Catchiest Theme Song in All of Podcasts

Posted by junger - 02/26/08 at 08:02:31 am

There's something about the theme song for The 1Up Show that is just so damn catchy.

I get it stuck in my head all the time, and I literally can't wait to listen to it (is it downloadable as an MP3 somewhere?).

The actual vidcast is a really great show — it's such a different way to present the news and views. Instead of having talking heads telling you what's going on, the whole group sits around talking about whatever game they're playing or event has just happened.

It's basically like an audio podcast with video, but not the roundtable-style discussion — more of a "day in the life" shoot.

Anyway, you can figure this all out too. Just watch the video. And enjoy the song.

PS – Not sure why you have to verify your age, but wait for this to buffer. The loading time sucks.

The Onion News Network is Hysterical

How great would it be to work for The Onion? You make jokes all day, create hilarious videos, write ridiculous news stories, and just laugh.

The Onion News Network was easily the best new podcast of 2007 — if you haven't seen their videos before, check them out.

My favorite part is that they can find run-of-the-mill looking actors to play the totally stereotypical roles: the morning show host, the roundtable panelist, the pundit, and more.

I imagine the only place nearly as fun to work is over at CollegeHumor, where they are making some great indie video, like 24 From 1994 and Minesweeper: The Movie.
