Friday Videos - June 3rd, 2011

posted June 3, 2011 #


Six Videos
You know the deal. The playlist, the breakdown below and some general well wishing.
  • Kid Gives Speech After Learning To Ride a Bike - if the triumphant nature of this video doesn't warm your heart you are a cold cold individual. Paul said it best; I look forward to when this kid grows up and starts writing speeches for President Bill Pullman.
  • Pastor Erickson's Miney Miney Tiny Time Town - given that this was posted in 2007 I am going to assume it's incredible old news to everyone here but, to me, it's fresh and quite amusing.
  • Cyriak - Baa - as with all Cyriak videos, be patient... when you think it can't get any more bizarre and weird, it does. Then it does again.
  • Cat plays Shell Game - and has a pretty good success rate!
  • Old Man invades interview - I do not want any context for this. I just want to enjoy this weird old man being a strange nuisance.
  • There's no such thing as Jellyfish - granted, this doesn't fall into the "temporal entertainment" that most Friday Videos consist of but there is so much beautiful footage of these creatures that it should not be missed. And the calm, educational narration is a nice bonus.
Bonus Videos
  • VHX Bumpers - when you load up VHX you are greeted with a custom, often vintage styled, bumper. All of them are great. You can even submit your own.
  • Mardi and The Egg - this boxer dog loves herself an egg. I try not to overwhelm the main playlist with Animal Videos but this is too heartwarming to miss.
  • Christmas Krampus Cat - alternatively, this cat absolutely hates its Krampus outfit. Fortunately, the narrator is hilarious.
  • Denver International Airport Conspiracies - again, not a quick video bit of entertainment but seems worth watching.. even if it's just for some chuckles.
  • TED Talk: Aaron Koblin - the man responsible for the Arcade Fire "Wilderness" video and The Johnny Cash Project (among other things) has a TED Talk. Need to remember to watch this.
Have a great weekend!
