Fun with Video
Thursday, September 7, 2006 at 5:58PM
My brother, who is a keen collector of odd online videos, introduced me to Glumbert.com, apparently run by a guy who is an even keener collector of such oddities. Some of the videos that David sent to me were downright disturbing, including a creepy montage of clips from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I mean, really, how can you make Mr. Rogers creepy? (Sadly, it can be done. But should it ever be done? I think we all can agree -- No. Okay, my brother wouldn't agree. But I'm still not linking to it.)
But here are some videos worth watching:
- All the President's Words (from Comedy Central)
- "I lost to Barry Manilow!" (from the 2006 Emmys)
- Crazy Frog Brothers (These techno-synching kids are awesome. You have to watch until the end of the video. What is the taller one swinging on? A rope? A curtain tie-back? Come to think of it, he looks like the pre-adolescent version of more than one of my teenage boyfriends!)
- Acoustic Outkast cover (This is bloody brilliant. The original version of "Hey Ya" is a lot of fun, but this cover is miles away from it and just beautiful. I tip my hat to Obadiah Parker, which is apparently a band, not a man.)

Love the frog boys. The tall kid is hilarious-but it does look like that rope has a noose at the end or something. I'm surprised they could get through the whole thing without laughing.
I know! I espeically like how serious the shorter kid is.
