MORE ok go

Although I really, really like the "Rube Goldberg Edition" of OK GO's song "This Too Shall Pass", I stumbled upon this one and liked it even a little more. It's certainly not as complicated or interesting, but it's got a real fun charm to it. (And it looks like a single take for the whole video!)



Ok Go apparently performed "This Too Shall Pass" on Conan (The Tonight Show) and the performance was supposedly amazing. But since NBC replaced Conan with Jay Leno, they took Conan's videos down and I have not been able to see it. However, someone posed the rehearsal video and it's pretty damn cool.



Lastly, if you're sick of "This Too Shall Pass" music videos, here's a fun vid that was shot in on a camcorder in someone's backyard by one of their sisters (who also choreographed it). No joke. The video must have cost them nothing. And yet, still awesome. It's called "A Million Ways".

OK GO

Ok, OK GO makes some pretty cool music videos. Most people remember the treadmill one. But this new one for "This Too Shall Pass" is pretty crazy. I won't even describe it...



And if you don't remember the treadmill one for "Here it goes again", well... here it goes again...

Livin 'Neath The Law with Jack McBrayer

If you're a fan of 30 ROCK or just like to laugh, this series of videos by Jack McBrayer (Kenneth in 30 ROCK) is hysterical. Too bad there are only three of them.



Drunk History

On FunnyorDie.com there is this series of videos called "Drunk History" where this woman describes historical events while drunk and it's re-enacted by actors such as Will Ferrel, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, Jack Black, Michael Cera, etc. I'm not sure if the woman is really drunk or is just acting, but these videos are brilliant. This one is my favorite.

SuperNews! Transformers 2!

This was made before Transformers 2 came out. Almost makes me wish they called the GoBots instead...

SuperNews! Social Networking Wars

This is an old classic, made a couple years ago, but still applicable today and still funny.

1. Skanky pictures of skanky people doing skanky things! 2. Crappy bands! 3. Profile pages that you can customize into an incoherent, garbled mess of flashing pictures and Jack Johnson videos! That's what MySpace is all about...

C'mon Man!

This Florida State offensive lineman is apparently shot by some kind of paralyzing freeze gun or something. C'mon man, do something! Your job is to protect your QB not stand guard at Buckingham Palace. Love the turkey gobble in the middle. Haha...

What's It Gonna Be?

This video isn't new, but if you haven't seen it yet, it's new to you. And really funny. And AWESOME...

Ninja's Unboxing

This is actually a commercial for a Google Nexus phone done by director Patrick Boivin (he of AWESOME-tastic stop motion vids). It's pretty rad.

Michael Jackson vs. Mr. Bean

Another Patrick Boivin stop motion animation classic.

Iron Man vs. Bruce Lee

This video is a badass stop motion animation by director Patrick Boivin who is pretty damn AWESOME. He does other non-stop motion animation stuff that's pretty cool too, but this is one of my favs. Great music too!

HASTILY MADE Cleveland Tourism Video

This masterpiece was created by Mike Polk, Jr. His video's YouTube description says it all.

The Cleveland Tourism Board gave me 14 million dollars about 8 months ago to make a promotional video to bring people to Cleveland. As usual, I waited till the last minute and I ended up having to shoot and edit it in about an hour yesterday afternoon. I probably should have invested more time.

Leeroy JENKINSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I was a little late to the party on this one. But thanks to Coco O'Brien, I was fortunate enough to see this one. I laughed so hard the first time I saw it, I was crying. Literally. At least I have chicken...

How Iron Man Should Have Ended...

A short cartoon that shows how the first Iron Man film should have ended. HISHEdotcom does a bunch of "How It Should Have Ended" videos. This one is pretty darn funny. Watch it or... I will freeze breath your face off.

Sing Talk (Ke$ha - Tik Tok Parody)

This video is brilliant.  The song is very well written (and performed) and the video was exceptionally well done.  Hysterical.

Super-Fun AWESOME videos!

Honestly this was supposed to be called "AWESOME videos!" but someone had that name, so instead, I threw in the "Super-Fun" part.  I can't legitimately say all of these videos will be "Super-Fun", but I will vouch for their AWESOME-ness.  I hope you enjoy!  (and if you don't, it's probably just because you're simply not AWESOME enough).

In all seriousness, this is just a place for me to link cool videos that I find so I can find (and enjoy) them again.  Kind of like me bookmarking them, but my bookmark tab is a mess and I have like 1,000,000 random pages and so it's actually MORE time consuming to find bookmarked pages, than to do a brand new Google search every time to find stuff.  So anyway, enjoy the videos if you've stumbled upon this page by accident.
