Sxe Snooki

Yay :)
So this week I am totally not forced at all to write about my inspiration, so I am writing about who inspired me to do this blog. As you have probably noticed by now, I am a fan of YouTube, or "the YouTube" as older generations call it. One of the few channels I subscribe to on YouTube is sXephil. Sxephil posts videos about twice a week and, as his intro states, it is a news show. But this is not your grandmother's news show, I mean this is on "the YouTube". Philip DeFranco has segments like "douchebag of the day", QOTD (question on the day) and the vocab of a sailor. But he is extremely witty and when it comes down to it, the show is pretty interesting. His sarcastic wit and structured segments inspired me for my blog. So thanks for that Philly D. I give this video a 3/5 but his overall channel a 4.5/5. Enjoy :)



Nay :(

We have all heard of Jersey Shore, some of you watch it, and other have only heard the rumors but I think we can all agree, it's pretty much trash. The characters are given show names and this particular video features "Snooki". This clip is from the Jay Leno Show and Snooki is featured... and the word "featured" is used very loosely here. She is asked questions including my personal favorite "If you were to change something about the world what would it be?" and Snooki answers "Umm, well, I would put a tanning bed in every home. And I would eliminate the bump-it, because I don't use a bump-it... I tease." Classy stuff. For the sheer stupidity I give this video a 2/5. Enjoy?



What do you think?
This is "Fred". Fred is a YouTube sensation, with his high pitch voice and awkward story lines he's taken the internet. But what do you think? Is "Fred" as funny as the ratings dictates? Or is "Fred" just someone with a weird voice? What do you think?



As far as "Hey Jude" goes, I love it! I don't see a huge difference between this kind of child exposure and America's Funniest Home Videos, and there's no controversy with that. So cute little singer, rock on!

And the plot... pops?

Yay :)
It is safe to say, living in a college dorm, that the Twilight fad has overstayed its welcome. Everywhere you look there are crazed girls pledging their allegiance to "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob" how about Team "it's a freaking book... get over it" HISHEdotcom, the maker of this video, seems to agree with me (and the rest of the sane world). Along with the video "How Twilight Should Have Ended" there are dozens of other hilarious parodies including "How 2012 Should Have Ended" and "How The Blair Witch Project Should Have Ended". The comedy style mirrors Aaron Kauro, how it just makes humor from simple observations, but HISHEdotcom takes it one step further. I give this video a 4/5 Enjoy :)



Nay :(

What we have here, my friends, is a typical case of human stupidity. I mean who hasn't dreamt of encasing themselves in a giant balloon, oh right, everyone. Well this guy is the exception. I love the fact that he starts the video with "Okay, this is my second attempt, but this time I got a slightly larger balloon, and 80 inch, made in South America!" Alright, can we just bask in hilarity that he tried this before and decided to go at it again? And not only is he trying this again, but he went to the lengths of ordering a balloon from South America. After is oh so brilliant plan takes a turn for the worse, he remains surprisingly composed. Calmly saying phrases like "I'm becoming trapped inside the balloon." when I would have been like "For the love of God!! AHHHHH *&!@$#*!!! GET ME OUT!" So you've got to give him credit there. But as he emerges from the now shrunken balloon, you learn that he is a briefs, not boxers man, good to know. And finally let's take into account that he ends the video with a graceful "I hate this", not "this is the last time" or "never again" just "I hate this". I'm going to be on the look out for a new and improved video with a sightly LARGER balloon, possibly a 90 inch or something like that. I give this video a 2/5. Enjoy?



What do you think?
This is a small, adorable child singing "Hey Jude". While the kid is pretty good what do you think? Should parents have the right to post videos of their kids when they are too young to understand what is going on? Or is it just an innocent cute little kid rocking out? What do you think?



As for "My Spoon is too Big", I'm not the biggest fan. While it does embrace the attention span of today's youth, it is still crappy animation with no point. I give it a 2/5.
