YouTube Reviews ... what to watch

From YouTube.com user: theresidents

Timmy's one-legged neighbor can't dance anymore, and he is resigned to watching his chipmunk dance instead, and to eating desserts instead of chicken, his favorite food. Timmy thinks he is one lucky guy, but the man says that sometimes it is hard having only one leg.

The TIMMY videos are all extremely well done, with old video clips illustrating Timmy's somewhat robotic voice overs. The music is as jarring as the contrast between Timmy's naive interpretation of events and the reality of those events. In a way, they are funny as all get out. In another way, they ara subtle, interesting social comment on the 60's, and on life today.

Santa Claus - Steady Mobbin'

From YouTube.com user: wwwBLACK20com

Recently we reviewed a sweet video which featured many people singing a rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas. It's was cute. Well, maybe hokey or downright corny to some. But if you liked that one then this one will be a shocker. Give it a try though. But you better sit down ... and put your seat belt on. We're in for bumpy ride.

Ever wonder what Santa does the other 364 days of the year? Watch the secret evil life of Santa Claus. He's a drunk, mean old grump, beating up anyone in his way. Without the Christmas spirit he's pretty evil.

Note the one scene -- they all move pretty quickly -- in which he's on his MySpace.com page sending out denials to all the kids who requested his 'Friend' status.

This is another one creative guys at BLACK20.com, the creators of "The Easter Bunny Hates You". Feel the love.

Enjoy. And to all a good knifing.

Unlocking Tavin's Mind

From YouTube.com user: sweetteafilms

It appears that Tavin Dillard is in therapy (probably mandated by some court). He has been severely traumatized by an incident from his childhood. Actually, it was more than one incident; it continued from the time he was seven until he was about 18. That's when he found out what soda pop really tastes like, and discovered it tastes different than the soda pop his brother fixed him every morning.

Oh, yes. Tavin has problems. Especially since he blew a hole in the trailer and has to sleep on the floor next to Grandpa.

Sweetteafilms makes the funniest trailer trash videos. There's something hauntingly familiar about Tavin, though. He reminds me of someone...I know! He reminds me of Nathaniel Pikkard. Could Nathaniel be his brother? The one who peed in Tavin's soda pop? Suddenly it all makes sense....

Out of Control

From YouTube.com user: jessicapeanut

This is an anti-hate protest set, quite appropriately, to "Not Ready to Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks. Images depicting hate -- a white-hooded figure holding an American flag, protesters with signs that read "God Hates Fags," pictures of people who were killed because they were black or gay, followed by pictures of those who killed them, neo-Nazi images.

There are also scattered images of people who oppose hate (including several of the Dixie Chicks). The video ends with three slogans: live and let live, equality is for everyone, and stop the hate.

Jessicapeanut's protest videos are often sarcastic, but this one is angry. Yes, it is possible to be angry about hate without becoming a hater. It's a serious, well-done editorial about hate groups in the U.S.

Just for Fun

From YouTube.com user: jessicapeanut

If you like animals, you'll certainly enjoy this "Just for Fun" video from jessicapeanut. Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping" is the perfect song for an entertaining photage of animals. It's light, happy and just for fun.

As always, jessica does a beautiful job of perfectly syncrhonizing the pictures to the music, both in timing and in content.

War on Christmas

From YouTube.com user: jessicapeanut

jessicapeanut is witty, sharp, and sarcastic. She claims to be 82 years old, but I don't believe her--her music choices and satire are those of a much younger person. For this video, she chose "Crazy" by Dope, and put together a video collage of defiled Santas and heretical Christ images. It's a comment on the Fox news story about the "war on Christmas." Like her other videos, it's perfectly done.

The Blahs

<

From YouTube.com user: Gr8Shotz

The holiday blues get us all sometimes, and Russ has them. The holidays aren't what they used to be, work is in an uproar that makes life feel unstable, and his dating life is non-existent. He says he needs to make some changes in his life, including the way he is choosing to think about things. And what better time to think about changes than now, as the New Year approaches.

Gr8Shotz is everyman, which is what makes his vlog so appealing. He goes through the same ups and downs that you and I do, and he vlogs about daily life. He is easy to identify with and to like. His vlogs are personal, like listening to a friend.

Hey, Russ, watch your own Thanksgiving video a few dozen times; it'll encourage you. Celebrate a Merry Christmas with your family. The New Year will bring the changes you need, probably before you are ready for them. We'll be waiting for the vlog.

BTW, how much weight have you lost? Looks like about 20 pounds since April--your face is much thinner. :)

Part 1: "The Avon Lady"

From YouTube.com user: cheztam

The whereabouts of the missing dinosaur are known for a while in part one.

Chaz comes to Kal's to find that Kal has a gun on the dinosaur who posed as an Avon Lady, obviously. A sweet funny rap ensues detailing the journey and how they were pulled over. Chaz does not do his job as the cop opens the trunk. All Hell breaks loose.

Very funny clip and not bad hip hop skills by Chaz and Kal. Good clip from cheztam.
