Turns out I’m still on a musical kick, only this time I’ve lightened the mood a little bit. Most of us can agree that Saturday Night Live’s quality has really decreased as of late, but one good thing to come from the show is The Lonely Island. I’m sure most of you have seen at least a few Lonely Island videos, but a lot of people don’t realize how many videos they actually have. Check out a few of my favorites below, and check out their YouTube channel as well for countless more.
Although I generally tend to post funny videos on this blog, I am open to any type of entertainment. The last few days I have been on a musical performance kick, as started by Sam Hollyman singing with Michael Buble. The video I am bringing you today features Antoine Dufour blowing us all away with his solo guitar performance of “These Moments”, using his guitar to make a variety of unexpected sounds.
As an added bonus, check out Walk off the Earth cover Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.”
No matter how many times I watch this video, that first note always send chills running down my body. Watch as a mom convinces Michael Buble to let her 15 year old son sing on stage with him, making him go from seemingly slightly annoyed to absolutely floored in a matter of seconds.
I’m not going to lie, I’m a huge fan of dogs. I would probably find a video of a puppy simply sitting still, doing nothing, overly adorable. However, this is a video that anyone can appreciate, dog lover or not. For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’d fess up to the mess either. See what I’m talking about below and let us know who you think made the mess.
When a YouTube video becomes a hit, many spin-off’s from the video are produced in an attempt to capitalize on the success of the original. This can be a good thing (see “Frasier” from “Cheers”) or can be a complete failure (think “Joey” after “Friends”). As we have seen before, car insurance company GEICO has tried this approach with some successful YouTube videos. Their target this time being Judson Laipply’s “Evolution of Dance.” If you haven’t seen the original, check it out below.
Pretty amazing, right? Take a look at GEICO’s take on it below, and again let us know what you think.
I’m sure by now most of you have seen the ever entertaining Numa Numa video. Whether the video was made with the intention of becoming a YouTube sensation, or was just a video never meant to be seen, it is hilarious none the less. Check it out below and I guarantee it will be in your head all day.
Auto insurance company GEICO decided to capitalize on the success of this video, releasing their own variation. See if you can spot the Gecko in the video and let us know what you think of GEICO’s strategy.
There is an endless variety of different types of entertaining YouTube videos. Of these variations, news reports are definitely near the top of my list. News anchor goof-ups or out of control interviewees never fail to provide a laugh. Check out an extreme example of interviewee Antoine Dodson giving his comments on a bed intruder in Lincoln Park.
If you found the newscast entertaining, check out the bed intruder song below. You’ll never get the song out of your head.
We’re just past Thanksgiving’s half birthday, if you will. To help celebrate, who can forget this great video who’s ending may be even more of a surprise than the video itself. This is a rare combination of pilgrim education, a catchy R&B jam, and effective advertisement. Check it out. You’re welcome.
