DJ Earthworm’s “United State of Pop 2009″ video is a definite must watch:

To my utter surprise, Weezer has gone ahead and done what I have once thought as impossible. A mash-up of sorts of all of the many YouTube videos and personalities that we have come to love and honor. And since at the moment I am more than giddy about this amazing video, I am compelled to share this greatness to all of you.

Behold the music video “Weezer – Pork and Beans”

And like all holidays, they remind me of sport commercials! So here are 3 of my favorites:

And my favorite:

As a P.S., my coworker recently told me that I need to lay off the Youtube for a while.

Youtube = Crack

“I turn it into a sexy dance!”

… Classic.

Please tell me what’s the difference between the two videos below:

Weird Al – White & Nerdy

Jibbs – King Kong

Although the “King Kong” video was not intended as a parody or comedic video, I can’t help but laugh at the subtle similarities between this and Weird Al’s video. Why would anyone rap about their sound system, affectionately calling it “King Kong”? And why would a “gangsta rap” artist compare himself to a couple of Asian dudes in a rice rocket? Why not just have a video about how you can take all these 5’5″ Chinese guys in a street basketball tournament? I think they’ll score more street cred way faster that way.

Adding to the hilarity, is Jibb’s driver’s license seen in the 5th second of the video. He lives on King Kong Lane, and although his name is Jibbs on the license, his signature says “King Kong”.

I remember a time when receiving a couple hundred hits on your video game fan-site (not that I had one…) would bring so much joy. This, of course, was due to the fact that there were only a couple hundred people on the internet at any given point in time anyway. Nowadays, hits are measured in the tens of millions as the online population has exploded into a global community. Web conglomerates such as Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Google have established themselves into Meccas of the internet addicted. It’s hard to compete with these huge monstrosities and win the affection of avid internet surfers, so people resort to David vs. Goliath tactics by flinging crap all over the internet. Case in point: YouTube and Digg. Both sites allow for user generated content to reach the millions of viewers in cyberspace, allowing for infinite possibilities.

Why not try practicing with a Katana?

How about keeping up to date with the happenings at UCLA?

With these new tools at one’s disposal, it would seem like garnering notoriety would be a simple task. But to create something that can shine through the mountainous piles of dung would be difficult indeed. For every interesting picture, video, or article, thousands of craptacular imitations must exist outside the view of the general public. What could I possibly create?

Thus is my dilemma, and my challenge to overcome these adversities and become famous among internet geeks everywhere. The tools are there. The audience is there. It’s just a matter of time now. After all, why can’t I have my 5 minutes of fame?

The costume would have kept me a bit warmer too, instead of showing off my crazy “real” chest and abs in 50 degree SF weather, oh well. I also took the time to find the music video to the song used in the second Geico.com commercial, it’s by a band called Royksopp. The song’s called “Remind Me” and it actually has a damn good music video.

“I’ll have the roast duck, with the mango salsa.”

“And I don’t have much of an appetite, thank you.”

Entertaining as hell with 13 players ejected.
