Thought I'd start this tradition back up from my previous Midnight Channel Blog. This is a collection of top trending viral videos that were all over the internet this week that I stumbled across. Hope you like it, it was a particularly good week on the internet content wise.
"I'm Han Solo" Star Wars Kinect
Do you enjoy watching the Star Wars franchise being further driving into the ground? Well look no further than Star Wars kinect as you watch your childhood heroes dance to star wars parodied pop songs. Yes something inside you will die but a part of me kinda likes the ridiculousness of it all.
Celebrity Callers on Fraiser
The Cheers spin off Fraiser ran for 11 Seasons the same amount as Cheers itself didm suffice to say the show was a rousing hit and was quite a sophisticated comedy for its time. Over the course of those 11 years there were many Celebrity cameo's on the show. Many of which I never knew about until now as they were all Call-in listeners on Fraiser's radio talk show.
Nike #MakeItCount
A nice free spirited nike promotion for their Make it Count campaign. I'm not too sure what it all means but the guys that put this together seem to have done a great job with it. What these guys managed to accomplish in 10 days is pretty impressive and well... I guess they really did Make it Count. (Groan)
Don't Stop Believing Movie Supercut
This took a million hours of editing so its only fair that people notice this video. This is the Journey hit song "Don't Stop Believing" sung by the Movies.
World's Largest Rube Goldberg Machine
This fine Engineering team at Purdue University have broken their own Guinness World Record for the largest Rube Goldberg machine. This 300 Step monster of an contraption does the simple task of blowing a balloon and popping it. It's kind of cool... But you have to wonder how many weeks they spent planning and building this thing.
An Honest Look at Titanic 3D
The crew over at ScreenJunkies have been making Honest Movie trailers as of late, the hilariously snide and sarcastic voice over really do point out a lot of discrepancies in Titanic. I have never seen Titanic because... Why would I? The Boat sank right? 3 and a Half Hours? Why would I watch something for 3 hours that I already the ending of? I didn't see the Passion of the Christ on the same principle as well.
Push to Add Drama
Publicity Stunts are a dime a dozen these days with flashmobs and parody commercials all over the internet. So if you really want to get noticed you have to go big or go home. So in Belgium (Of all places?) a new Television Channel TNT set up a button in a quiet city square that reads on it "Push to add Drama" to help promote their launch. All I can say that this is pretty awesome... But it looks pretty damn expensive.
Celebrity for a Day
Who's Thomas Elliot? He's a famous actor right? A group of guys got together at a mall and convinced the mall goers there that their friend was a bona fide celebrity and it worked! They managed to get a Security escort and a whole group of impressionable girls to follow him around screaming Thomas's name.
The Walking Mad Men
The team at Barely Political make a lot of great parody material but this has to be one of their finest works to date. The acting is pretty damn good and they manage to capture and combine the essence of both shows brilliantly.
Blow Out Sale
Danny Pudi is the man, him and his two friends Timothy Kendall and Chris Marrs filmed this short action film about two rival furniture salesman. What starts off as friendly competition turns quickly into a heated fire fight.
Henri Part 2
Just when you think the internet is full of enough Cat Videos, someone comes along makes one so deep with insight and smothered in existentialism that you just fall back in love with Cats again. I mean I hate Cats themselves but they're what keep the internet running.
Caine's Arcade
This is the Best Video of the Week... A 9 Year boy named Caine makes his own DIY cardboard Arcade out the front of his Dad's auto parts store and all he wants is for someone to come and play. It's the most adorable and inspiring video's I've ever seen.
