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.

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.

• Super Broker - awkward corporate dance / rap video. An internet staple. I mostly post these for Jamie.
• Cellphone Popcorn - you THINK you've seen this, but you haven't. Trust me. Watch it. So good.
• Snow Angel - apparently this sorority girl sprayed a fire extinguisher in her house to "make it snow" and is really upset. Its quote quotient is extremely high. The original youtube was taken down but you can watch it on heavy.com now.
• Dolphin Stampede - unbelievable.
• Santa Claus Will Take You To Hell - a real uplifting gem from Westboro Baptist Church. This whole clan of people really makes me ill beyond words; mostly from their rampant stupidity.
• I've Got My Love to Keep (Wonderful Life Version) - an uplifting palette cleanser from the previous video.
• 40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes - amazing bit of editing.

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).

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:

• Fly to Paradise - Friday dance craze.
• Dog Malfunction - while this is amusing it's also sad because there's gotta be something wrong with that dog.
• Dog Malfunction Remix - a different take on things.
• Cassos! - Apparently Remi Gaillard is the one man Jackass of his country. Check his site for more craziness and thank Zach for the insight.
• The Black Hole - not particularly "wacky" for a Friday Video but an entertaining and quality short.

I also highly recommend watching this and this - both for very different reasons but both quality entertainment.

Have a great weekend.

Watch the playlist or the individual videos below:

• Drunk Jeff Goldblum - an old Apple ad at half speed sounds exactly like totally annihilation inebriation.
• Ninja Kittens - how this is a Corolla ad is beyond me.
• Biomechanical Speech Synthesis - creepy.
• Bicycle Fight - further evidence that other countries know how to make an engaging fight scene based on absurd ideas.
• Treadmobil - A mobile treadmill - aka, a total antithesis of the idea behind the treadmill.

Watch the playlist or the individual videos below:

• Paul Rudd & David Wain - promoting Role Models (out today), they sing a rather intense song from Les Miserables.
• He Loves A Fat Girl - the Internet brings many weird public access performances to light.
• Gnome, In The ZONE - amazing. Absolutely amazing. Via Jeremy.
• Under The Bridge: Literal Version - these still haven't gotten old for me.
• Happy Birthday Apprehension - poor kid.
• Ricky Gervais, Letterman Top 10 - Stupid things Americans say to Brits.
• David's Situation - a clip from the HBO pilot that Bob Odenkirk and David Cross wrote recently. The duo has decided to nix the project but are sharing a clip just to show the general vibe. Be warned, it's out of contet and, thus, really not all that funny. But it's nice of them to share it. Read more here.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Halloween everyone! Here are your Friday Videos - watch them above or here.. or individually:

• Francois Macre - Thriller - this is impressive to say the least. via JNon.
• Almost Transfomers - these are Halloween costumes I would like to see more of.
• Wise Words from the Saad - anytime I get a video from C Mikesell I expect it to be this weird. Once again, he delivers.
• Angelic Alien sings James Blunt - what can I say?
• Electric Stimulus To Face - if this is an emerging trend in music videos I welcome it with open arms.
• Baby Laugh-A-Lot commercial - was this intended to be cut exactly like a horror movie?
• Tug of War - Japan proves time and time again that they know how to make a compelling game show competition.
• The Monks Live in Germany - kind of hard to believe this is from 1965.

Have a great night! Watch out for Ghouls.

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:

• Mini McCain - Poppin for the People - thank you Green Screen Challenge.
• Octopus Project - I Saw the Bright Shinies - good video, great band.
• Jeopardy F-Bomb - listen carefully...
• CNN C-Word Slip - the eyebrow reaction is worth it.
• KazooKeylele - The Final Countdown - once the Kazoo kicks in it's basically perfect.
• Penguin vs Batman Debate - aka Debate #3 as foretold in the 1960's.
• Obama Roasts McCain - some good natured ribbing on himself and the whole political process. So good.
• McCain roasts Obama - more of the same good natured ribbing from McCain.

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!

Watch the entire playlist here or watch an individual video:

• John McPenguin - too perfect.
• Baby Wee Wee - disturbing and maybe not best viewed at work... again, disturbing.
• We Sing the Electric Forest - one day I hope animals are capable of these sounds.
• The State: Taco Postman - thank you youtube.
• Take On Me: Literal Version - if you've not seen this already this week I'll be surprised but it's worth a watch if you haven't... well done and actually funny.
• Birthday Greetings from Joe Cocker - fake closed captions on misheard lyrics continues to entertain me.

If you don't feel sufficiently weirded out by the Baby Wee Wee video might I suggest these Living Statue videos? NSFW but really just more weird than anything else.

Have a great weekend.

Watch the entire playlist here or watch an individual video:

• RATATAT - Shempi - my favorite track from the new album gets a bizarre video.
• Hallowindow - amazing window animation projection for the neighborhood kids.
• If All Movies Had Cell Phones - surprisingly, College Humor has been nailing it recently.
• Truth in Advertising - a bit over the top or completely accurate?
• Lil O'Reilly - Think this is inaccurate? Think again. Bill O'Reilly is an idiot.
• 1992 Debates - remembering the good ole days.
• 1930's Daredevils - some of this stuff is mindblowing, some of it is hilarious, some of it is further proof that people are idiots.
• Midnight Star - Freak-A-Zoid - I love that 3D wireframes used to be the best technology on the planet.

Have a great weekend - spend lots of time training youself at Kung Fu Election.

Watch the entire playlist here or watch an individual video:

• Epic Cat Montage - I will not apologize for loving this.
• The Great Schlep - nsfw language
• Janperson Ending - what?
• Korean Popeye's - so weird, so good.
• 30,000 Dominos
• Fast Backwards Truck!

Have a great weekend!!

This embed style will probably not become the norm but sometimes it's nice to try something different out - keep in mind there are seven videos in the above youtube player, not just one. Obviously I don't want to be restricted to only YouTube videos but this does give a nice big viewport and contains it all in one embed - better for everyone. You can view the individual videos here - consists of Animation Mix, Prison Prison Break, Bear vs Ike, Escape de Sofia, George Takei on Homophobia, Brainscan and Political Dance-Off.

Have a great weekend.

* stick with it. The payoff at the end is worth your patience.

** I dare you to watch all 8 minutes without fast forwarding.

That's it! Have a great weekend.

Have a great weekend!

*Paul Hunt is pretty amusing.. wish I'd seen this stuff when it was a little more pertinent.

Have a great weekend everyone!

* I'm not a sports enthusiast or really that into Olympics but the gymnasts in the 70's were doing things that current day competitors only dream of.

** If the picture of the Spaghetti Cat wasn't so perfect I wouldn't have bothered posting this. The Soup is incredibly annoying but the photo.. mindblowing.

*** Let go of the kite? Is he strapped in? Why was he kite surfing in a tropical storm in the first place?

I also suggest everyone watch the Norm MacDonald Roast of Bob Saget. It is the total opposite of what you'd expect and hilarious because of it.
