What a week! Being up in the NYC VHX office for the past five days has been a phenomenal time. Many things were accomplished that will, hopefully, be revealed soon. Enjoy this
playlist.
Have a great weekend! I'm trying to put together my Best Of compilations before the holiday breaks set in but I've also got two special projects launching right at the end of 2012 that I must finish ASAP. I know you will love them both.

This was a
crazy week but, somehow, there's no shortage of insane
videos to enjoy.
BONUS VIDEOS
Need more? Enjoy this stuff.
- DMX - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - it's not quite as good as this but it's entertaining.
- The Longest Word in English - 3 hours and 33 minutes of pronouncing the longest word. The most insane part is that the narrator grows a noticeable 5 o'clock shadow during the duration.
- Sporty Kyle - I love the works of Kyle in all his many forms but this character tests my patience more than most. It's entertaining but it's tough!
- Daft Punk - Electroma - in case you have an hour to spare, now you can catch the entire Daft Punk movie on youtube.
Have a great weekend!

You know, I didn't have much time this week to browse around and enjoy the bevy of Internet videos making the rounds but this
playlist is still strong. It's weird but it's solid. Enjoy.
- Weber Cooks - Chili & Cheese Nacho Dip - no surprises here, just a solid Chili & Cheese recipe.
- Baguette Magic - yes, this is a weird
Japanese Taiwan magician. Yes, at 4:30 he produces the worlds largest baguette out of some dough and thin air. MAGIC.
- Drew Peterson: Untouchable - probably shouldn't laugh at a Lifetime movie based on someone's legitimate strife but this is unbearably ridiculous.
- Wolfman's Gallery Furniture - excellent use of green screen technology and a helluva beard. I strive for this look at some point in my life. Thanks Paul.
- Cat Dreams - this seems like the cat is having a medical fit but, turns out, it's just a really good dreamer.
- Cat Special Forces - Yes this is just another cat video compilation but it has larger implications. Mostly it backs up my theory that videos from Russia are overtaking the web as the most ridiculous. Pay attention, it's a slow creep but it's totally been happening.
- Boston Bun - Housecall - I know the VHS aesthetic is getting overplayed a lot lately but this is one of the more perfect executions. It's exactly the amount of strange that you hope to find on an actual cassette.
Need more? Listen to
this crazy lady or
watch these videos.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving! I assume my US readers are off doing family things and gorging themselves on loads of food. I plan on doing just exactly that myself. Enjoy
the playlist and go have another listen to that
Nahnee Bori record.
- The Perfect Guide to Holiday Etiquette - a Buzzfeed video is legitimately funny? Yep, it's true. It just gets weirder and weirder as it goes. Delightful.
- Panda Baby Surprise - it may be cruel to spook such an adorable beast but the reaction is worth it.
- Rob Ford plays football - total honesty policy, I don't know who Rob Ford is and I play football exactly as well as this.
- Keep Austin Weird - Well played TV reporter. Well played drunk passerby. via flux-rad.
- 7th Heaven Marijuana Parody - music can make or break an edit. This is so amazingly perfect.
- Gotham High - this is kinda long and pretty weird but the further you watch it, the more clever you deem it and the more work you realize went into it. It's a hearty chuckle for sure.
- Bill & Ted Air Guitar Supercut - Maybe you need a break from family and these two can provide the levity? Maybe you need an endurance challenge of some sort? Maybe you need a nostalgic onslaught? This works however you'd like.
If you need more, you
know where to go. Have a great weekend.

What a week! That whole Hurricane thing, Halloween, another
VHX release, continued support for the
previous one and more coming down the pipe real soon. Things are happening! This
playlist is a weird one but, hopefully, you'll enjoy.
That's all I got! Tapped out! Enjoy your weekend.

So, I was all prepared to post a
regular compilation of videos today featuring the likes of
Drunk Jeff Goldblum,
Manborg and
10 Hours of Sax Guy when I realized it might be better to post my
2012 Halloween Playlist. Yes, Halloween isn't until next Wednesday but we all know you're going to the parties this weekend and going to just gorge on bite size treats next week, so let's go ahead and get in the spirit now.
- Halloween Preview - Krispy Kreme sets things up for the spookiest season.
- The Long Road - MK12 brings you a grainy, spooky, car escape.
- I Put A Spell On You - the "Screamin'" Jay Hawkins song is pretty unbeatable on its own but add this guys elastic face and you've got perfection in Entertainment.
- Alien: Bolaj Badejo - behind the scenes of Alien, featuring the most equally hysterical and legitimately creepy bit of footage I've encountered in some time.
- Japanese Baby Ogre Kleenex Commercial - yes, you read that title correctly. No, you've never seen a commercial creepier than this. Especially one for Kleenex. I get the chills! This is so weird!!
- Steevil & Carlsbad dancing - there's a lot wrong with this clip. 1) Family Matters. 2) Marionette Masks. 3) Devil Voices. 4) Humiliation of having to perform these dances. This is nightmare fodder at its finest.
- Baby Laugh A Lot's Battery Low - the most perfect, absolutely spot-on, maniacal laugh.
- Lorn - Ghosst(s) - easily the best Halloween video to just leave on repeat for the rest of the season. It has it all.
- Krispy Kreme - Halloween - yea, I'm driving this thing into the ground but I can't get enough. It's good every time.
- The Black Belles - Lies - solid song sung by contemporary witches. What more do you require of your Halloween?
- Bird - my favorite 30 seconds of Halloween. Easy.
Still need more? Get the latest
music mix, view
last year's playlist,
comb the archives or enjoy the
2012 Halloween B-Sides. What else can I give!?
Have a great weekend!

Had a doozie of a night last night at
VHX and a bunch of
quality cohorts. My brain hasn't quite cleared yet so I can't even gauge the quality of this
playlist. Passable? You let me know.
Hopefully I made the cut and you enjoyed.

Ah, Friday. I've been looking forward to you. Enjoy your
playlist and knock off from work early. Seriously. Even if it gets you fired, do it.
- Shortest Attention Span Ever - the parental reaction is actually every bit as good as the kid.
- Oh YEAH - the Ferris Bueller song, when applied correctly, never gets old.
- The Ultimate Dog Shaming - any video that starts off with a dog holding a sign reading "I Like To Roll Around In Pickles" is alright by me.
- Bad Lip Reading: Eye of the Sparrow - despite the fact that the VP debates were last night and you'd think that Bad Lip Readings would get old after awhile, this holds up. They take it some rather absurd places. Stick with it, the back half is greater than the front.
- Onion Talks - I look forward to this new series from The Onion mocking Ted Talks. Maybe not work appropriate but I'm intrigued by "What is the biggest rock!?"
- Surprise Motherf***er! - obviously some NSFW language here but stick with it.. just a regular Wheel of Fortune episode.
- Bottles Beware - I'll admit it, at first I was enjoying this out of a mocking sense of this guy but as it proceeds you can't help but enjoy it just out of sheer impressiveness.
- Dogdancing World Championship - reread that title please. Dogdancing, World, Championships. It's eight minutes of "oh my god I can't believe this exists." Make sure you catch the Indiana Jones routine - CLASSIC.
Need more? The
VHX Blog has goods. My
feed has content. Oh, and if you can make it through
this entire video you are a stronger man than I (despite my best efforts).

What's happening this week? Is there an overload of incredibly good videos or are my standards lowering? Possibly both I suppose. Here's the
playlist and the breakdown below:
- Emma's Flowers - there's a flower store here in Nashville that's been around for forever. I never thought much about them until I heard this commercial.. and now I think they're the greatest place in the world.
- Bowling Fails Compilation - I love bowling. I love people falling over. This video is perfect.
- Bill Hader's TaunTaun Impression - this is pretty spot on.
- Wanna Have My Secret? - this is one of the creepiest videos I've ever encountered. Every single solitary moment of it - audio and video - is disturbing.
- True Facts about Hedgehogs - I loved heartily and genuinely at this.
- Wedding Fails Compilation - yes, more people falling over.. only this time it's during one of the biggest days of their lives.
- Empire Uncut: My Hands Are Dirty - so I've been keeping an eye on the Star Wars Uncut Vimeo Channel and feeling overwhelmed by all the great submissions coming through. This particular snippet - the Noir Han and Leia interaction - is the perfect example of the sort of spellbinding creativity that SWU fosters. Love it.
- COPS: Refund - I am sure there are countless numbers of incredible clips from COPS but this one really entertained me. Stick with it to the end.
- Imaginary Forces Reel - I can't wrap my head around the notion that one studio did all this work. It is downright incredible.
- Not Into Asian - I can't begin to explain this and I don't care to. Some things are best left just being weird.
Need more?
Go here and enjoy.

Another week, another
playlist. I think it's quite an entertaining one if I do say so myself. Oh, I should also mention that VHX has been posting
weekly roundups as well, there's a bit of overlap sometimes but sometimes not - so be sure to keep those in your rotation as well. I digress, here we go...
- Kit-Kat Pops from Pizza Hut - this is not a joke. This is a Kit-Kat wrapped inside a sugary breadstick. I'm speechless. Curious to eat one and also speechless.
- Worst Movie Death Scene Ever - this is taken from a 1973 Turkish movie called "Kareteci Kiz" and I think it's far from the worst death. I'd say it's one of the greatest things I've seen in some time.
- World's Grumpiest Cat - there are many unfortunate aspects to "Tard" the World's Grumpiest Cat. First, the name - though supposedly short for Tartar Sauce it just seems wildly inappropriate when you consider Point #2, this cats condition is brought on by inbreeding and genetic defects. Fortunately, its new owners are giving it a great life despite it being adorably grumpy. Watch all the videos. It really is one helluva cute cat. via LT.
- There are Two Kinds of People - turns out, there are actually more than two kinds of people. Great compilation, regardless.
- Never Buy A Used Condom - god bless Peter Serafinowicz and his Public Service Announcements. via Mikesell.
- Gifs with Sound - I blogged about the site but who wants to browse the web when you can just watch a video? Perfect results.
- Always Sunny Season 8 - Haley Joel Osment as Mac is perfect. Actually, this whole promo is perfect.
- Roye'L - "In My World" - Public Access TV always generates some incredible performances (and outfits). I legitimately love the Dance Solo. via Paul.
Have a great weekend!

Should I save this
How Time Travel Works supercut collage for Friday Videos? Maybe so but here it is regardless. Check
this article after viewing to see which films were involved. Did you know them all already? If not, maybe it's time to flesh out your list of Movies Involving Time Travel a bit more?

Has anyone else been feeling sluggish this week? Maybe it was my 16+ hours in airports/airplanes that are holding me back or maybe it's the changing seasons but I feel out of sorts! Hopefully this
great playlist will alleviate all my woes. Enjoy.
- Miami Connection trailer - I honestly can't tell when a Drafthouse Film is a parody, a tribute or an actual re-release. That's a good thing.
- Mr Wizard's (Still) A Dick - another quality compilation of Mr. Wizard being verbally abusive.
- Mail Time: Steve Gets a "LETTER" - this is NSFW and probably out of character for Friday Videos but I love the reaction shots too much not to include this. via Paul.
- Presenting Mudd - here's a palette cleanser after that last one. The enthusiasm here is unbridled and infectious.
- OpDocs: Romney vs Obama - while there are plenty of differences between the two Presidential candidates it's sometimes nice to remember the similarities. Nice video from Gregory Brothers.
- I Miss Drugs: "Simple Human" - you really need to watch this entire series - it's equal parts hilarious and macabre. The looming sadness is never directly noted but it's there, it's definitely there. via Steve.
- Beautiful Wait - not really a kooky or wacky video but more of a beautiful series of animated vignettes having to do with patience and waiting. via Erica.
- "Fine" Art with Alexander Barrett - probably NSFW as well and totally low-brow but, for whatever reason, I just laughed and laughed. Sometimes it's good to end on a politely crass one.
If you find yourself still needing more, just watch
this, over and over and over again.

Woah,
almost didn't have a chance to post up the Friday videos because of this great
Conference I'm attending. Regularly scheduled posting will resume on Tuesday - just keep an eye on the
Syndicate Feed for new goods if you're hankering for links. In the meantime,
enjoy the playlist! Thanks to
Daniel for some quality contributions.
- Worst Family Feud Answers - lets go ahead and get this out of the gate right away. It is superb in so many ways. Game show bloopers are the best kind of bloopers.
- Collective Soul Cat - if this were the tiniest bit shorter it would easily be the World's Greatest Cat Video Mashed Up with a Semi-Terrible mid-90's Rock Song. I think it goes without saying how much I love this.
- Mitt Romney Little Face - I don't care that this is Mitt Romney, I just love the little face. Perfect.
- Billy Lavoie - the first half of this video is all you really need to see. I feel kind of bad for this guy now that this is out in the world but he was one helluva sassy kid.
- GoPro Stolen By Seagull - how did they retrieve this camera?? I want animals to steal more technology, pls.
- Screaming Sheep - waaaaaait for it.
- Jon Contino - this video is just a phenomenally inspiring bit of profiling on the great Jon Contino. His enthusiasm and drive is inspiring, his work is out of this world.
Have a great weekend. If anyone can confirm that
this animal is not in an unpleasant state of being I will declare it the finest thing ever captured on film.

Take some time with this weeks
offerings, I think you'll find quite a bit of enjoyment if you let them sit with you for a bit.
- Comic vs Heckler - it's a short clip and they both get in a quality quip.
- The PSYning - I really hope that this sort of mash-up continues to gain ground.
- Fountain Crash Dubstep - you know it's a slow news day when this kind of footage makes it on air but thank god it did because the dubstep mash up is ridiculously dumb and perfectly hilarious.
- Crippled Rejex - Hello Disappear - before you quickly switch this off because it's a "terrible song" keep in mind that it's a parody and perfectly executed by the man that brought you Reptiles.
- Crippled Rejex Exposed - part two of Crippled Rejex. It's astoundingly accurate. If this doesn't do anything for ya, you can watch this instead.
- News Bloopers - there's a lot of goodness in here. Guess which clip is my favorite?
- 4 Year Old Moving like Bernie - this is the greatest dance craze since ever and I'm glad it's catching on with the kids.
Bonus
- FAIL Compilation August 2012. Yes it yep, these still fill me with dread and unease but I always watch them.
- 49 Synchronized Quadrocopters - two things. 1) If you can successfully work in "synchronized quadropcopters" into conversation, you win life. 2) This is a beautifully weird arrangement of a thing you'd probably never see if the Internet didn't exist.
- Nickelback - Trying Not To Love You - I saw this music video featuring Jason Alexander last week and thought it was a parody. Turns out, it is not. This is a sincere music video. Yes, it's self-aware but not to the full extent of it's own awfulness. What is happening here? How does this exist? So many questions, so few answers.
Have a great weekend everyone!

We're coming up on a long weekend, so go ahead and just stop working now to enjoy the
playlist.
BONUS
Why these aren't included in the playlist is a good question but I have my reasons. You should still enjoy.
Have a great long weekend!

Another week, another
playlist, another wish that you would quit working as early as possible this Friday.
BONUS
- Tiny Tiny Bicycle - this is probably all over your Facebook wall already but you still have to see it.
- Breaking Bad Spin-Off Series - again, if you're not watching Breaking Bad, avoid this as it contains spoilers (sorta)... also, it won't be funny unless you watch the show.
Have a great weekend!

Another week, another
playlist of ridiculous videos to distract you. I'm not where where I stand on this weeks playlist - it's a weird one but I find it highly entertaining.
- Horse Taking it to The Limit - I'm sure there's some simply explanation for this like a modded video game that I'm unfamiliar with but I prefer to embrace ignorance. Too weird not to.
- Every Day I'm Whistling - can someone insert this for the ultimate combo?
- Kot Stabilizator - another potential mashup waiting to happen with this video.
- Kid Static - K.I.D. - new music video from Whiskerino alumni Kid Static. It takes place at Comic Con - of course I'm going to post it.
- Music Video for Emily - this is the kind of thing that makes you feel immediately embarrassed for the kid. Everyone gets their 15 minutes, right? Wait for the guitar solo.
- Invisible Bicycle Helmet - this isn't funny or wacky, it's fascinating. Two design students redesign and, potentially, revolutionize the bicycle helmet. The reveal at the end is worth the build. Do not fast forward.
- Ragu: Long Day of Childhood - I don't have TV anymore, so this commercial is new to me. Additionally, it's hilarious. Love that song. See Also: Spaghetti Braids.
- Cat in the Class - Ceiling Cat knows how to make an entrance.
- Shaun Sperling Bar Mitzvah Dance - this is like the inverse of "Song for Emily" because this kid obviously feels zero embarrassment and owns the event completely. Good to end the playlist on some ridiculous dancing; been too long.
BONUS
Have a phenomenal weekend. You owe yourself that.
