It's Friday. Time to relax and neglect your job once again. I think these videos will not only provide said needed entertainment but could easily lead you down a path of YouTube browsing that could, quite possibly, take up your entire day. That's it! Have a great weekend!

This week I'm making a real effort to start including videos at the end of the week that aren't exclusively absurd. Don't get me wrong, these are all intended to be entertaining but I think we could all stand for quality over quantity.
  • John Tesh NBA Theme - the answering machine message at the beginning is great; as is the fact that the song is actually really long.
  • Obama's Elf - stupid but one of those Must See videos. You will get an email forward with this in it sometime in the next 2 weeks.
  • White Denim - Shake Shake Shake - quality video from a quality band. This one fits their aesthetic quite well.. I love that it's pretty nonsensical but engaging the whole time.
  • Sony Releases Stupid Piece of.... - it goes without saying this is riddled with profanity, so be warned. However, it's the profanity that makes it oh so good. The billboard for the product is the best part.
  • Conan on Charlie Rose - yea, it's an hour long but it's worth it.
  • Josh Fenderman - I've been encoding my Mr. Show DVD's recently and it's still a hilarious show. The Fenderman Dance never gets old.
Have a great weekend!

Busy week this week, not the strongest "Friday Videos" entry but there are gems to be enjoyed. Watch them all here, in the embed above, or individually below.
  • Egyptian Lover - Freak-A-Holic - this really speaks for itself but I actually genuinely enjoy the music, no joke.
  • Alex Jones - The Obama Deception - oh, Alex Jones will you never be happy? I thought after the Bush administration he'd have less to find conspiracy theories with but turns out if you're really looking for conspiracy theories, you will find them.
  • Ricky Gervais - Favourite Leaflet - some NSFW language / concepts but Gervais standup is great.. enjoy.
  • Hurt via Songsmith - yea, the absurdity of Microsoft's Songsmith has fallen by the wayside but what it's done to Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" is incomprehensible.
  • Tairy Greene's Acting Seminar for Children - Zach Galifinakas screaming ranks right below Bob Odenkirk screaming in terms of my favorite things to hear. It's an easy gag but it's rewarding in its own way.
Have a great weekend - it's Friday the 13th followed by Valentines Day. A strange combo for sure.

I've got a busy day today so not as many posts as usually but the videos.. lemme tell ya, they're good. If the first three don't make your day I'm outta ideas. Watch them above, here or individually below:
  • The Video Guide To Successful Seduction - there's some inappropriate touching at the end but let's be honest, the whole thing is pretty creepy and weird. The Detroit guys are pure perfection. Via Chad.
  • Stains The Dog - this, to me, is every bit as amusing and classic as the Dramatic Chipmunk was before it was run into the ground. I suspect Stains will receive the same fate.
  • Forever Leather + Hillary Clinton - I can't tell if this is an infomercial or a local access talk show.. it's insanely long and stream of conciousness but I appreciate it for it. Via Justin.
  • David After Dentist - if you didn't see this already this week you're in for a treat. Seven Year Olds and heavy medication are a great combination - as this kid proves over and over and over again.
  • Michael Bay makes me sick! - well, not really but you can't say he doesn't have a signature "Style."
  • 90210 Nightmare - probably a bit too easy of a target but I think the re-edit is amusing and pretty entertaining.
Have a great weekend!

Four Friday Videos
Super busy this week so I didn't have a chance to compile / encounter that many amusing videos. Apologies for that but the four included should treat you well. If that's not enough for you - please watch this and/or this.

Have a great weekend.

It was a short week, which means your distraction level is already at an all time high. Please allow me to assist you further in that regard:
  • The Meaning of Words - I'd venture to say this commentator really doesn't know what she's saying.. at least I hope not.
  • Trapped Chewbacca - one mans nightstand sounds exactly like Chewbacca. I hope this is where the original sound inspiration came from.
  • Pistol Youth - In My Eyes - better viewed in high quality but you get the gist either way.. a one-trick pony that never seems to run out of steam.
  • Neverending Story should End - the absolute best evidence that sequels can be a terrible idea.
  • Her Morning Elegance - I don't care for the song one bit but the concept and execution of the stop motion is great. via Blake.
  • Jim and Derrick Show - there's a Part 2 as well. While I still claim that the Tim and Eric show is more aggravating than actually funny I must give them credit for this.. absolutely great. Via Ryan.


Have a great weekend!!

It's been a long week, you deserve a load of videos to watch. Be sure to check the bottom for some non-Youtube bonus content.
  • Cool Cat playing the keys - I can watch this on repeat. I don't care how played out cat memes get, this is just a good time.
  • Woman Terrified of Cotton Balls - the cotton ball mummy is absolutely insane but apparently Maury Povich loves this theme of scaring the crap out of people with absurd phobias.
  • Little Wings by Mark Gormley - it's like a Tim & Eric sketch come to real life.
  • Flirting with Magic - I have said it before but it bears repeating - there are no two things that mix worse than sex and magic. Unless it's this.
  • Wonderwall by Microsoft Songsmith - if you aren't familiar with the waste of time that is Songsmith, get familiar and rewatch this. Apparently Casio demo loops can now be matched to vocals via Microsoft technology.
  • Liz Taylor. - never ask Liz Taylor if she's recently been married.
  • Mr. G Bloopers - now that I have a Summer Heights High deficit in my life I must make due with bloopers.
  • IT Crowd Season 1 Bloopers - it is material like this that I will miss when the DVD goes the way of the Dodo. Update: Embedding was disabled for whatever reason, so you just have to watch it here.
Still not enough video content for ya? How about some fairly NSFW content? Try out the short film Trick or Ask Scott Ratler or Lethal Frisbee. That should take care of things.

Have a great weekend!

There's some long ones in here, so make sure you have some spare time. As usual, watch them all or individually.

Welcome to 2009, watch the entire playlist here or individually below.
  • Wii Christmas Freakout - it's the updated version of the Nintendo 64 freakout; though not quite as intense.
  • Elephants Love Snow - not often do you see Elephants in the snow but apparently they enjoy it.
  • We Like Sportz - typically I am not down with creating a sequel that doesn't need a sequel (in this case, Just 2 Guyz) but Lonely Island manages not to run the joke completely into the ground.. still entertaining.
  • Soccer Fashion - this is just bizarre. TV like this could never exist today and certainly not in the US.
  • Happy New Year - this is the sort of thing that happens when you get time off work and have lots of spare time.
Welcome to 2009! Enjoy the videos and regular posting will resume on Monday.

Friday Videos - Christmas Edition

posted December 24, 2008 #


Seven Friday Videos
As usual, watch them above, here or individually below.
  • The Christmas Tree - yes, this is old but it's still hilarious and should be a classic every year.
  • Ringo Remembers - even Ringo doesn't like that McCartney Christmas song.
  • Firehouse 5 + 2 - these guys are endlessly entertaining, insanely talented and perfect for the Holiday season.
  • Jonzun Crew - not Christmas related at all but consider it a gift. It's like Daft Punk and Mad Max blended together in a perfect fusion of early 80's hip-hop.
  • Tumbling Mishap - i like the crowd scream in anticipation almost more than the mishap itself.
  • Flaming Lips White Christmas - maybe not the worlds most stellar performance but it's the thought that counts.
  • Muppet Family Christmas - nothing is more uplifting and feel good than a room full of Muppets. I really loved this clip in particular but the audio bugged out about 1:10 in.. quite unfortunate.
And that's it! The final Friday video set for the year and certainly one of the final yewknee posts of the year. I may be back with a few posts during the break but I'm looking forward to some downtime.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Happy Holidays. Happy New Year. Have a great one!

There are some doozies this week.. particularly the Westboro video. If the above isn't quite enough for you watch this group of morons ram a shopping cart at their buddy.. seriously, stick with it until the very end with the worlds most fitting results.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Had to go with the older format this week.. those two vimeo hosted videos are not to be missed (the first two).

I dare you to try to make it all the way through Glitter N' Gold - I bet you can't!

The Set Yourself on Fire kid amuses me to no end.. as I'm not sure what the result was that he was expecting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Woman vs Tow Truck is actually just a viral video made by some ad campaign for the Chevy Captiva but it's an amusing notion - albeit a bit unbelievable.

That's it - have a great weekend!

Some serious gems in this weeks Friday Videos.
  • WOAAHHH - I can't watch this and not start dying laughing immediately. This video has also spawned a plethora of remixes... a sub-culture in and of itself.
  • Jones Big Ass Truck Rental - Sometimes there are things you find online that you force yourself to believe are real. Thank you Paul.
  • A Tour Of My House - there is something so incredibly compelling about this that I can't even begin to explain it. His comment about his Mom's painting in the stairwell is my favorite.
  • Breathing Exercises - if this isn't already on a TV Carnage, it will be.
  • Leading the Parade - a feel good video.
  • YMO - Rydeen - Aside from being an incredible video / song / artist in itself it also seems to be a direct influence of part of RATATAT's "Shempi" - at least to my ears.
  • NYC Kermit - Kermit sings LCD Soundsystem and it seems all perfect. Via MBV Music.
And I highly recommend watching this, as it really will make your weekend better.

That's it! Have a great weekend. If you're in the Nashville area I suggest heading out to the Mercy Lounge tonight to see Kindercastle, as they are celebrating their CD release (more on that later).

Friday Videos - Thanksgiving 2008

Six Friday Videos
You know the deal, watch the playlist or the individual videos below.
  • Miracle Jackson! - you start off laughing at her but by the end you're legitimately into it and wish there was more...
  • Klassic Kids - the first part is oddly creepy and then the Easter Bunny comes in and it's just wrong.
  • Take No Damage - Holes - it's like a TV Carnage take on the entirety of life.
  • Bruce Lee plays Ping Pong with a Nunchuck - that is all.
  • The Marmoset Song - this is terrible and below the level of video quality I strive for here but let me tell ya, you play this for your Mom / Grandma - you're the new favorite.
  • Louis C.K. - Why? - a ten minute stand-up set from Louis CK... just quality funnies (although quite NSFW or family friendly). Inspired by the goodness of this.
Happy Thanksgiving. Regular postings resume on Monday, Dec. 1st.

This is not my strongest collection of Friday videos but it will have to do. Work is getting crazy here in the last few weeks of the year and I fear my browsing / posting time is diminishing because of it. I'm sure it's just a temporary lull.

In the meantime, watch the playlist or the individual videos below: I also highly recommend watching this and this - both for very different reasons but both quality entertainment.

Have a great weekend.

Sadly, I have been far too busy this week to garner up six bizarre / worthwhile videos for you to watch. The above should be weird enough for your entire weekend though.

Some will say I should have embedded this dance-off but I just can't bring myself to do it... it's well done but I feel gross watching it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Watch the entire playlist here or watch an individual video: I was also going to link to this video but it was too depressing to be a part of the "fun" aspect of Friday Videos. Racism is alive and well in America - awful.

Have a good weekend!
