If you’re an avid fan of ribs or just barbequing in general, this is going to make you want to grill some immediately. Greg Solomon explains his slow cooking process step by step along with a little background information. I wasn’t too familiar with Mr. Solomon’s videos before watching “How to Barbeque Ribs” but I really enjoyed this one. His voice is perfect for an instructional video; it is calm and even but not boring. The camera work pairs nicely with his voice. There’s nothing flashy here, just an easy to follow path to delicious ribs.

“I got an ant farm. Them fellas didn't grow shit.”

“When people hand you fliers in the street, it’s almost like they’re saying ‘here, you throw this away.’”

“I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs… There would never be an ‘escalator temporarily out of order’ sign. Only an ‘Escalator temporarily stairs—sorry for the convenience’”

“I don’t have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that.”

“Alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for having.”

“My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She made it half way. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set.”

“I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.”

“This shirt is dry clean only. Which means...it's dirty.”

Comedian Mitch Hedberg’s one-liners and random observations are legendary. There has never been a more ridiculously outrageous and observant comic in my lifetime, and I feel compelled to share his genius with all of you. Here is video of his Comedy Central special posted by ekpyroticfox on YouTube recently. He (Hedberg) tragically lost his life in a New Jersey hotel last year due to a reported drug overdose, but managed beforehand to share his considerable gift with audiences throughout the world. Unfortunately, every brilliant mind has its demons, and Hedberg was no different. His unfortunate passing came as a shock to all of his loyal fans, but also let us better appreciate his accomplishments in the short time he was with us. He truly was one of the best.

R.I.P.

Upon viewing this video you may say “What the hell? That young punk just beat up an old man!” I certainly did and for a little while I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why this was the most viewed video and really why I should even care about this kid who beat up an old man. Then I was pointed to this video:


From YouTube.com user: ohgosai

Yep. That’s the same guy. Feel free to watch the first video again. What happened to his chi? His students seem to be thrown across the room by his powers, yet in the fight he can do nothing. Can chi affect you only if you believe in it? Are his students merely playing the part to aggrandize their master’s abilities? Why did the old master even agree to the fight? I don’t expect these questions to be answered any time soon, but these two videos certainly call into question the legitimacy of his Chi mastery and perhaps the realistic use of Chi in fights.

Some of you may still think the young man had no right to beat the elderly man so severely. I will remind you that the master agreed to the fight, and declined the offer to give in after he was initially hit in the mouth. Also, this is a fighting contest. You should not expect someone to let up until the match is over.

Doogtoons is laugh out loud funny!
This short cartoon video is from Doogtoons, produced by Doug Bresler. In it, we are introduced to The Ninja. He's a bit camera shy at first, but he soon comes out to talk to the camera. This video is just hilarious, even with the Britney Spears joke thrown in at the end. Funny stuff with some good dialogue and animation. Meet the Ninja!

I love drug humor, and this is about as high-larious as it gets. In this brand new episode of the Adult Swim show “Aqua Teen Hungerforce,” aired on November 26, and posted by Drizzzle00, the Mooninites come back from the moon to spread their usual brand of felonious cheer to Shake, Meatwad, Carl, and Frylock through a bong full of “Moonauana.”

For those of you who don’t know, Aqua Teen Hungerforce is an animated show created by a production group called Williams Street who is certainly not of sound mind and body. Interestingly, there are two differing theories regarding who the good people of the group truly are. Some say they are a collection of captive apes scientifically altered to exhibit their unusual creativity through inexpensive animation software. Others have hypothesized they are actually a group of 11-year-old children armed with an internet connection, a warped sense of humor, and access to vast fields and amber waves of designer hydroponics. Either way, “ATHF,” and the groups other shows like “Perfect Hair Forever,” are a sickening cry for help from whichever camp is responsible for this Sunday night guilty pleasure, and should be viewed with vigilant caution—or at least a head full acid.

These are not your parent’s cartoons —although “The Gummy Bears,” “Scooby-Doo,” and “The Smurfs” would tend to disagree— and shouldn’t be watched with younger siblings, nieces, or nephews present. Like hobos performing on big city street corners, there is no higher purpose to their act. They simply want you to look and sympathize with the utter depravity of their unfortunate condition and throw some loose change in their tattered hat. Reinforcing this kind of behavior is perhaps the worst thing you can do for them I should warn, but sometimes peace of mind can be had by knowing you’ve tried something, anything, to help these unfortunates get well—even when you know there is more than a great chance they’ll take the money and spend it on acquiring the drugs that have placed them at the mercy of our pity in the first place. Sometimes, however, you have to take your chances. And I can think of worse ideas than giving the brilliantly talented apes of Williams Street your viewership every once in a while…and who knows? Maybe you’ll eventually end up as addicted as I am—to the cartoon, I mean.

BeHeard lets another to be heard!
This is another video from BeHeard. This video's are short, but their messages are powerful. They are the type of videos that make you think. In this video, listen as Sergio talks about his life growing up in the middle of gang and race fights. Growing up in Los Angeles myself, I can truly identify with what this young man is talking about.

YouTube's own Mystery Science Theater 3000!
How many of your remember Mystery Science Theater 3000? The show that poked fun at all the bad movies each and every time. They found the bad, so you didn't have to. Sort of like what we do here. Only difference here being we find the good so you don't have to dig through all the bad. We know there can be a lot of crap on YouTube, but there is also a lot of great stuff if you look hard enough.

YouTubeTheater digs through and finds some of the bad and then they have fun poking at it just a little. It's all in good fun, and some of the commentary is hilarious to watch. The audio is a bit low, but other than that the video is great. I'll be looking to see more of YouTubeTheater!

Kids start young these days!
This video is a quick parody of what many witnessed seeing on their television screens throughout the month of October and the first week of November. The number of political ads was just mind boggling to me. I know my phone got a work out too.

This is a political ad for pre-school president in Iowa. Jimmy Jones wants your vote because Billy can't even color within the lines. For shame! This video is quick and funny.

According to its information, the video also received national attention by appearing on CNN's Headline Morning News back on November 10th. Definitely check this video out!

Hurricane Katrina Revisited.
Nearly a year and a half ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans and the surrounding area. Katrina has been called one of the worst natural disasters in our history. It is definitely one that will never be forgotten.

This video revisits the city of New Orleans. It is actually a trailer for what appears to be longer work called The Drive. The video is just that - someone taking a drive through the area and stopping to talk to the people who suffered the most from this tragic event in our history.

We have the experiences of those who lived through it told in their own words. It is powerful and heartbreaking. I'll be looking to see the next segment.

What is heaven to you?
That's the question this fourteen year old film maker asked of those around her. She collected their thoughts on this powerful topic and put them together in this video. A feat for someone so young, but it is extremely powerful to watch.

The video itself, simply titled Heaven, is shot completely out of focus. It is hard to know if that was the intention of the film maker here, but it very well could have been due to the ages of the participants. It is the words being said that is the message here, so the video almost comes secondary.

This video is powerful in its message, and it is definitely one that is worth watching. It'll take less than three minutes of your time.

The Hand is Quicker than the Eye..
This guitarist has lightening-fast hands and a good ear. It is enviable to watch him pick out just the right notes with what seems to be no effort at all. Looks can be deceiving though. Years of practice and dedication are evident in the quality of music and skill.

This is worth a watch and a listen...
All of the clips by Weaseltrap are awesome, but this is one of my favorites because of the melody and harmony in one. The musician takes the skill of guitar playing to a new level. The work and stamina to play in such a way is AMAZING.
Watch the finger moves. And look ma, no edits!! He did this through with no mistakes!!
