It's another week,
another playlist. Some you have, undoubtedly, seen already but I think you'll still get some enjoyment regardless.
Have a great weekend everyone. Maybe I'll see you
out and
about.

Welcome to February! Where does the time go? Seriously. Where does it go? Enjoy
this playlist and have yourself a phenomenal weekend.
- First attempt at a Ski Jump - I recently confirmed with myself that I should never, ever, ski. This video is just further evidence that are plenty of other folks like myself out there.
- Lynn Hischberg's Screen Test: Lena Dunham - if you've been watching GIRLS you know how accurate of a parody this is.
- Samsung El Plato Supreme - you know it's Superbowl Weekend when you see a commercial with Bob Odenkirk, Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. Oh, and it's actually pretty funny.
- Flood Surprise - never underestimate the stupidity of people.
- Black Mirror: Series 2 - I've talked about this show a few times before. Charlie Brooker's grim look at technology and society is a great watch.. glad to see it's returning for a second run.
- Oh hey, I didn't see you there - a Kickstarter Supercut of recurring greetings. Some of the variations are amazing.
- Cat Meets Snow - because every week should have a fun animal video.
- Jeff's Morning Workout - because every week should have a phenomenal dance video.
BONUS
Take care!

This weeks
playlist is largely stolen from my friend
Paul. No, he didn't supply all the videos but I definitely snagged a great deal of it from him. Regardless, enjoy.

I'm posting
these videos from the past so that in the future you can enjoy them in the present. Follow that? It doesn't matter. This playlist is weird but
I think there's something good in there for you to enjoy. If I missed something crucial, I bet it's viewable
here.
- NFL Bad Lip Reading - glad to see them branching out into mocking more forms of television. Approved.
- KLOL 101 - a lot of videos these days ape the 70's / 80's video aesthetic, I'd love to see this sort of graphic collaging become more commonplace. Get on it, Internet.
- My Heart Will Go On - nothing like a recorder solo to brighten up your day. It's an endurance challenge for the ages. via Paige.
- Big Time Pranks with Dan Klein - check out this hilarious prank call to Bumble Bee Foods. Super funny.
- True Facts About Morgan Freeman - not entirely hysterical but when it hits, it's real good.
Okay, hopefully you found something good in there. Bear with me, I'm in the past! This stuff was all funny and relevant when I cobbled it together.. don't blame me that time has soiled it.
Have a good weekend.

I'm off to Salt Lake City for the next few days to partake in my first
Sundance. The
crew and I will be taking in some movies, enjoying the city and, hopefully, meeting some filmmakers interested in getting their films directly into the hands of fans. I'll do my best to keep up with tweets and whatnot for the sidebar but, ideally, I'll be too busy! I've got some posts queued up for tomorrow and, of course, Friday Videos will be around.
For today, go give the new
Roy Ira a listen (it's on
Spotify if you prefer that) and then read the latest issue of
NATV.

I received guff from a myriad of people last week for not posting Friday Videos! I'm sorry, I was still on vacation! Hopefully
this playlist makes up for it. It has all the classic elements needed for a good playlist - animal videos, weird video edits, unsettling dancing, trombone and children going nuts. Enjoy.
- Dubstep Bird - I want a supercut of the Internet's best 5-second-and-under viral videos. I'd put this on the playlist as well.
- Cat Share - you'd think there's a simple solution here involving two saucers but then we wouldn't get this great video. Russian Internet continues to dominate. 2013 is their year.
- Qualcomm CES 2013 Keynote - touted as "The Most Insane Keynote Ever." It's actually hard to disagree once you see everything they threw into the presentation. The best part? I don't even know what product they're trying to convince me of.
- Hard of Hearing Vader - have you seen this already this week? Probably. Are Star Wars parody videos tough to swallow? Yes. Is this one an exception to that rule? I believe so.
- GoPro Trombone - yes. A million times. Yes.
- Anamanaguchi - [Meow] - If there is a more perfect chiptunes music video I am not aware of its existence. This has it all.
- Xylophone Madness - wait for it. Waaaait for it. via Mixel.
- Popped a Molly I'm Sweating: Dance Party for One - this is one of those videos that's best to know as little about as humanly possible. via Paul.
Plenty more goodness in the
Syndicate Feed if you need it.
Have a great weekend!

I had big plans to make an Apocalypse Edition of Friday Videos but then it occurred to me that 99% of conspiracy videos are
real boring. So, in lieu of that, I've put together this
Christmas playlist. There's some bonus links below and, as always, the running
syndicate feed to keep you occupied.
- Christmas Sweatz - just when you think the song has overstayed its welcome, they switch it up. Rhett and Link keep delivering the goods.
- Cat Scared of Mario Jump - you may think this isn't Christmas related but watch this video with your family and I bet good money you'll all be closer as a unit for the unified enjoyment.
- A Charlie Brown Christmas Reunion: Louis CK style - this is actually too accurate of a parody.
- Santa's Slay Trailer - did you know that Bill Goldberg starred as Satan's only son, Santa in Santa's Slay? So bad it's good.
- Jingle Cats - Let It Snow - I will warn you right now, this is a rabbit hole of videos that you don't want to get caught in but probably won't be able to resist.
- Giggle with Goats Holiday Performance - I was really hoping this was going to be Jingle Bells as sung by goats but it turns out it's just a bunch of footage of kid's being jovial. So delightful.
- Arnold's Very Special XMAS Party - this is incredibly difficult to watch but what would you expect from an Everything Is Terrible editing Arnold Christmas Special? Regardless, lots of star power involved. What's going on Randy Travis?!
- Wonderful Christmas Time - Yes, this song is hilariously polarizing but this particular video version is off the charts ridiculous.
BONUS
Have a great one. Posting will be sparse between now and 2013 but I'll try to drop some treats on ya!

What a week! Being up in the NYC VHX office for the past five days has been a phenomenal time. Many things were accomplished that will, hopefully, be revealed soon. Enjoy this
playlist.
Have a great weekend! I'm trying to put together my Best Of compilations before the holiday breaks set in but I've also got two special projects launching right at the end of 2012 that I must finish ASAP. I know you will love them both.

This was a
crazy week but, somehow, there's no shortage of insane
videos to enjoy.
BONUS VIDEOS
Need more? Enjoy this stuff.
- DMX - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - it's not quite as good as this but it's entertaining.
- The Longest Word in English - 3 hours and 33 minutes of pronouncing the longest word. The most insane part is that the narrator grows a noticeable 5 o'clock shadow during the duration.
- Sporty Kyle - I love the works of Kyle in all his many forms but this character tests my patience more than most. It's entertaining but it's tough!
- Daft Punk - Electroma - in case you have an hour to spare, now you can catch the entire Daft Punk movie on youtube.
Have a great weekend!

You know, I didn't have much time this week to browse around and enjoy the bevy of Internet videos making the rounds but this
playlist is still strong. It's weird but it's solid. Enjoy.
- Weber Cooks - Chili & Cheese Nacho Dip - no surprises here, just a solid Chili & Cheese recipe.
- Baguette Magic - yes, this is a weird
Japanese Taiwan magician. Yes, at 4:30 he produces the worlds largest baguette out of some dough and thin air. MAGIC.
- Drew Peterson: Untouchable - probably shouldn't laugh at a Lifetime movie based on someone's legitimate strife but this is unbearably ridiculous.
- Wolfman's Gallery Furniture - excellent use of green screen technology and a helluva beard. I strive for this look at some point in my life. Thanks Paul.
- Cat Dreams - this seems like the cat is having a medical fit but, turns out, it's just a really good dreamer.
- Cat Special Forces - Yes this is just another cat video compilation but it has larger implications. Mostly it backs up my theory that videos from Russia are overtaking the web as the most ridiculous. Pay attention, it's a slow creep but it's totally been happening.
- Boston Bun - Housecall - I know the VHS aesthetic is getting overplayed a lot lately but this is one of the more perfect executions. It's exactly the amount of strange that you hope to find on an actual cassette.
Need more? Listen to
this crazy lady or
watch these videos.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving! I assume my US readers are off doing family things and gorging themselves on loads of food. I plan on doing just exactly that myself. Enjoy
the playlist and go have another listen to that
Nahnee Bori record.
- The Perfect Guide to Holiday Etiquette - a Buzzfeed video is legitimately funny? Yep, it's true. It just gets weirder and weirder as it goes. Delightful.
- Panda Baby Surprise - it may be cruel to spook such an adorable beast but the reaction is worth it.
- Rob Ford plays football - total honesty policy, I don't know who Rob Ford is and I play football exactly as well as this.
- Keep Austin Weird - Well played TV reporter. Well played drunk passerby. via flux-rad.
- 7th Heaven Marijuana Parody - music can make or break an edit. This is so amazingly perfect.
- Gotham High - this is kinda long and pretty weird but the further you watch it, the more clever you deem it and the more work you realize went into it. It's a hearty chuckle for sure.
- Bill & Ted Air Guitar Supercut - Maybe you need a break from family and these two can provide the levity? Maybe you need an endurance challenge of some sort? Maybe you need a nostalgic onslaught? This works however you'd like.
If you need more, you
know where to go. Have a great weekend.

What a week! That whole Hurricane thing, Halloween, another
VHX release, continued support for the
previous one and more coming down the pipe real soon. Things are happening! This
playlist is a weird one but, hopefully, you'll enjoy.
That's all I got! Tapped out! Enjoy your weekend.

So, I was all prepared to post a
regular compilation of videos today featuring the likes of
Drunk Jeff Goldblum,
Manborg and
10 Hours of Sax Guy when I realized it might be better to post my
2012 Halloween Playlist. Yes, Halloween isn't until next Wednesday but we all know you're going to the parties this weekend and going to just gorge on bite size treats next week, so let's go ahead and get in the spirit now.
- Halloween Preview - Krispy Kreme sets things up for the spookiest season.
- The Long Road - MK12 brings you a grainy, spooky, car escape.
- I Put A Spell On You - the "Screamin'" Jay Hawkins song is pretty unbeatable on its own but add this guys elastic face and you've got perfection in Entertainment.
- Alien: Bolaj Badejo - behind the scenes of Alien, featuring the most equally hysterical and legitimately creepy bit of footage I've encountered in some time.
- Japanese Baby Ogre Kleenex Commercial - yes, you read that title correctly. No, you've never seen a commercial creepier than this. Especially one for Kleenex. I get the chills! This is so weird!!
- Steevil & Carlsbad dancing - there's a lot wrong with this clip. 1) Family Matters. 2) Marionette Masks. 3) Devil Voices. 4) Humiliation of having to perform these dances. This is nightmare fodder at its finest.
- Baby Laugh A Lot's Battery Low - the most perfect, absolutely spot-on, maniacal laugh.
- Lorn - Ghosst(s) - easily the best Halloween video to just leave on repeat for the rest of the season. It has it all.
- Krispy Kreme - Halloween - yea, I'm driving this thing into the ground but I can't get enough. It's good every time.
- The Black Belles - Lies - solid song sung by contemporary witches. What more do you require of your Halloween?
- Bird - my favorite 30 seconds of Halloween. Easy.
Still need more? Get the latest
music mix, view
last year's playlist,
comb the archives or enjoy the
2012 Halloween B-Sides. What else can I give!?
Have a great weekend!

Had a doozie of a night last night at
VHX and a bunch of
quality cohorts. My brain hasn't quite cleared yet so I can't even gauge the quality of this
playlist. Passable? You let me know.
Hopefully I made the cut and you enjoyed.

Ah, Friday. I've been looking forward to you. Enjoy your
playlist and knock off from work early. Seriously. Even if it gets you fired, do it.
- Shortest Attention Span Ever - the parental reaction is actually every bit as good as the kid.
- Oh YEAH - the Ferris Bueller song, when applied correctly, never gets old.
- The Ultimate Dog Shaming - any video that starts off with a dog holding a sign reading "I Like To Roll Around In Pickles" is alright by me.
- Bad Lip Reading: Eye of the Sparrow - despite the fact that the VP debates were last night and you'd think that Bad Lip Readings would get old after awhile, this holds up. They take it some rather absurd places. Stick with it, the back half is greater than the front.
- Onion Talks - I look forward to this new series from The Onion mocking Ted Talks. Maybe not work appropriate but I'm intrigued by "What is the biggest rock!?"
- Surprise Motherf***er! - obviously some NSFW language here but stick with it.. just a regular Wheel of Fortune episode.
- Bottles Beware - I'll admit it, at first I was enjoying this out of a mocking sense of this guy but as it proceeds you can't help but enjoy it just out of sheer impressiveness.
- Dogdancing World Championship - reread that title please. Dogdancing, World, Championships. It's eight minutes of "oh my god I can't believe this exists." Make sure you catch the Indiana Jones routine - CLASSIC.
Need more? The
VHX Blog has goods. My
feed has content. Oh, and if you can make it through
this entire video you are a stronger man than I (despite my best efforts).

What's happening this week? Is there an overload of incredibly good videos or are my standards lowering? Possibly both I suppose. Here's the
playlist and the breakdown below:
- Emma's Flowers - there's a flower store here in Nashville that's been around for forever. I never thought much about them until I heard this commercial.. and now I think they're the greatest place in the world.
- Bowling Fails Compilation - I love bowling. I love people falling over. This video is perfect.
- Bill Hader's TaunTaun Impression - this is pretty spot on.
- Wanna Have My Secret? - this is one of the creepiest videos I've ever encountered. Every single solitary moment of it - audio and video - is disturbing.
- True Facts about Hedgehogs - I loved heartily and genuinely at this.
- Wedding Fails Compilation - yes, more people falling over.. only this time it's during one of the biggest days of their lives.
- Empire Uncut: My Hands Are Dirty - so I've been keeping an eye on the Star Wars Uncut Vimeo Channel and feeling overwhelmed by all the great submissions coming through. This particular snippet - the Noir Han and Leia interaction - is the perfect example of the sort of spellbinding creativity that SWU fosters. Love it.
- COPS: Refund - I am sure there are countless numbers of incredible clips from COPS but this one really entertained me. Stick with it to the end.
- Imaginary Forces Reel - I can't wrap my head around the notion that one studio did all this work. It is downright incredible.
- Not Into Asian - I can't begin to explain this and I don't care to. Some things are best left just being weird.
Need more?
Go here and enjoy.
