YOUTUBE
We're not sure where this gem of a video has been hiding, but we just discovered it last night, and have collectively watched it and laughed for at least 12 hours straight. Yes, we're clearly behind on the times on this one, but we're sure we can't be the only ones. So here it is. Happy Friday!
If movies have taught us anything, it’s that the best way to settle a score and win the love of your life’s affection is to challenge your rival to a dangerous race. If the long lives the Fast and the Furious movies have led is any indication, racing is still one of the more badass of past times. That doesn’t always translate well to NASCAR and official drag racing where there are rules, controlled environments, and medics around for when things inevitably go sour. Safety doesn’t always make things appealing, but do you know who does? Batman.
YouTube is making an effort to keep up with the times and give viewers the option of watching TV online. As announced a few weeks ago, the Food Network's Bruce Seidel, is taking the next step in his career and heading towards the internet. Electus, a next generation production studio, appointed Seidel as their Chief Exectuive Officer for the new YouTube Food channel.
Seidel made major contributions to the Food Network. He created some of the channel's most popular shows like "Iron Chef America," "The Next Iron Chef," and "The Next Food Network Star." Before he worked in food television, he worked in strategy and production at the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.
Look, up in the sky. It’s a bird, it’s a plane! It’s...really disgruntled and in a hurry. To the shock of every tourist and native in the city this week, it looked like people were flying around some of our major landmarks. For a moment it looked like we finally hit the jackpot and gained some superpowers, like nearly every New Yorker in a Marvel comic. The whole scene, however, was a trick of the eye.
"Sh*t" people say has taken the internet by storm. While there have been a zillion "Sh*t" spinoffs of every stereotype and nationality, our favorite is “Sh*t Fashion Girls Say." We've all been on the social scene with fashion cliques and heard the same lines, “What season is that dress she's wearing?” "Where did you buy that?” and so on. Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard have definitely spent some time in the social scene of fashionistas. Not only were their statements beyond hilarious, they're also 100% true. “I'm into statement jewelry and color blocking,” is one of our favorites quotes said by the impersonating fashionista.
Ok, so our day just got even better. Volkswagen has just released the teaser for their 2012 Super Bowl commercial. Once again they appeal to Star Wars fans, but this time with various canines dressed as Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Princess Leia et al, while barking the 'Imperial March' theme.
This is just too good for words.
We’ve come a long way, internet browsers. Internet history is a little more than something to be deleted before a loved one turns on your PC. So much became possible when our favorite websites were born. Now we can chat across the world, share music, and upload videos that can become famous in a matter of minutes. Before Youtube, “going viral” meant little. For all we knew, it was an extreme term for getting a cold. Youtube opened new doors for aspiring amateur film makers and stole the cute animals category away from America’s Funniest Home videos. Now tutorials, scripted work, and plenty more are among what we’d usually expect from people given a camera and an outlet.
What can we say? It's Friday, and yes, we're ready for the weekend. But not before watching this needy kitten aggressively demand attention. It's clear who is the female in this duo. (Hint: it's not the one lying in the guy's lap.)
Happy Friday!
This is the most delightful video I've seen in a while. Whether you're a fan of classics like Marble Works or Mouse Trap, or just a science nerd who loves inventing, this vid will get you giddy. Pure entertainment.
(These modern days kids with their iPads just don't know what they're missing.)
Remember the simple days before there was risk of having every embarrassing moment recorded? The days before convenient technology like camera phones and Youtube? Or before the days you could pay someone to make you into an overnight pop star? It seems like it was 100 years ago. With technology getting more advanced and accessible every year, viral videos are only becoming more prevalent. Youtube has become the go-to place to air out dirty laundry, discover the next pop star, embarrass yourself, and to watch incredible creations such as VW's 'Feel the Force' commercial. Some of the videos we love, while others have us wishing for simpler days of hop scotch. So without further ado, here are the top 10 most viewed Youtube viral videos of 2011.
