We've discussed some pretty serious things
here lately. Online forms, confusing Click-Here!
buttons, problems caused by endless paragraphs
of website text, etc.
So let's take a moment today to enjoy the (much) lighter side of the Web. Let's sit back, relax, and have a few laughs and smiles over some beloved YouTube videos.
1. http://tinyurl.com/2dalru — “The shiny guy always worries.” AKA ... “A thorough, though-provoking summary of Star Wars.” AKA… “Star Wars according to a 3 year old.”
2. http://tinyurl.com/2d7efd6 — You go, Granny. You SHOW that rude driver what's up. Because we know you'll cross the street when you're damn well ready.
3. http://tinyurl.com/25896zm — Clever editing, the right music, and use of the standard movie-trailer formula combine to create a new trailer for “The Shining.” A trailer that successfully presents the classic movie as ... a romantic comedy.
4. http://tinyurl.com/4y6mkj — This one isn't a laugh-inducer. It's just a little something for all the animal lovers out there looking for their daily I'm-a-little-fluffy-puppy-hanging-out-and-being-adorable video.
5. http://tinyurl.com/3xgsl6 — The truth becomes known to many. Zombies do like turtles.
6. http://tinyurl.com/csb2g9 — Fire.... truck. You know. Because at one point we all did our best to pronounce certain sounds.
7. http://tinyurl.com/2tscr4 — Any discussion touching upon the roots of hip hop isn't complete without mention of Denny and the sweet demo tape he sent in to MTV back in the '90s.
8. http://tinyurl.com/64z4cm — Love it. I mean, how can you not like Bert and Ernie rapping about the streets of Brooklyn, money, women, and Cristal? This video is a never-fail pick-me-up of mine.
9. http://tinyurl.com/ysv7q9 — Yes, Tillman is a better skateboarder than you. And yes, I know that revelation stings because he's a dog.
10. http://tinyurl.com/258oja — Kids are getting tougher these days. This 3-year-old girl is already talking smack about kicking ass. Yes, it's a monster's ass, but still — you can already see the violence brimming from within her.
If most of these videos were new to you, it's quite possible you may not even be familiar with some of the most well-known YouTube classics of all time. (Yes. All time.) May I suggest you use your lunch break to catch up? Head over to YouTube.com and search for: David after the dentist, Boom goes the dynamite, Charlie bit my finger, Blood — it's not funny, sleep-running dog, Sneezing Panda, dramatic look, evolution of dance, and Star Wars Kid (and Star Wars Kid remix, of course).
Hope something here makes you smile.
