YouTube Reviews ... what to watch

Sunday, December 3, 2006

From YouTube.com user: geoffreyg

Take a trip back in time, to the good old days of one-dimensional, 8-bit action-packed game-playing with those crazy Italian brothers, Mario and Luigi. Bask in the nostalgia as you hear those familiar synthetic monophonic notes segue into the deadpan voice-overs of the creative minds behind Overtime Comedy.

Luigi's Band Blues is the first episode in a trilogy of clips that cover the Super Mario Brothers' intense trials and tribulations regarding the management of their MySpace accounts. Mario and Luigi face common MySpace challenges that face most account holders of the popular networking site. If you have ever been a member of Facebook, MySpace or Friendster, you'll find this series of clips to be hilarious!

The masterminds behind Overtime Comedy have more where this came from: if you check out their page, you'll see all sorts of "re-makes" of your 80s favorites, including The Muppet Babies and The Legend of Zelda. All their clips are creative and fun, certainly worth watching if you were one of those late-80s first-generation Nintendo players who ooed and awed over, what was then, cutting-edge technology.

And be sure to watch the 2nd and 3rd spots in the series, Mario In MySpace: Top 8 Tumble and mario in myspace: toad's social not-working, too!

Lazydork Dances Like Emmalina

From YouTube.com user: rickyste

Lazydork’s dance video is some of his finest work. Dressed in all black, he does the robot, chair dances, and even does the glow stick raver dance to your stereotypical techno beat. The video was meant to fill the gap that Emmalina had left in the YouTube dance world and anyone who watches this video can confirm his skills are up for the job. This is Lazydork at his no-holds-barred silliest, so sit back and enjoy his booty shake.

Me Getting Woken Up

From YouTube.com user: rickyste

This is the video everyone was waiting for: Lazydork in bed. Apparently he’s the only person that sleeps in his glasses or he’s faking it. Regardless of it’s realism, I really like the song in the video. I would much rather be awoken by that than my current “beep, beep, beep”. Oh and yes, Lazydork sleeps on the couch, but it looks like he has a really comfy blanket. Send donations to him so that he can get a bed though.

LUCYinLA / I love Acting !! : )

From YouTube.com user: LUCYinLA

Lucy’s acting video is good in that she is doing something proactive for her career. She shows a wide range of emotions on this video, but they are somewhat muggy and may be a little too much for film. Mostly I just would have liked to see her do a monologue or a scene. One good monologue can show tremendous range without having to do 2 minutes of facial expressions. This is still fun to watch if you are a fan of Lucy like I am.

LUCYinLA/ Little Miss Sunshine

From YouTube.com user: LUCYinLA

This video is wonderful to watch because many of Lucy’s previous videos had been so pessimistic. Lucy is teeming with excitement about this movie which makes her even more fun to watch. Even if her review of “Little Miss Sunshine” wasn’t as good as it is, just her mood shift should make you want to see it. That is what I liked about “Little Miss Sunshine”: it makes you feel giddy and elated for a couple days after you see it.

LUCYinLA / The Sleazy Manager

From YouTube.com user: LUCYinLA

People abuse their positions of power in any industry, but the entertainment business is probably the worst. Lucy’s story of the sleazy manager is one most aspiring actors have heard many times before. Hopefully she’ll be a little wiser after this and will be able to see things like this coming and deflect them before they get out of hand. My favorite part of this video is that she doesn’t answer the phone when it rings even though she’s supposed to be working.
