Do you remember the good ol’ days when YouTube didn’t have any ads yet? Or the slightly worse but still pretty good days when there weren’t any annoying pop up ads that stayed on top of your video? Or the definitely worse but still pretty cool days when you could skip every commercial after five second days? What ever happened to that. Now it’s ads on ads on ads.

Christopher Nolan is a great movie director but how would his genius and uh, love for darkness, translate into something like commercials? It’d probably be hilarious! Though let’s be honest, if I saw a coffee commercial like Inception, Memento or The Dark Knight, I’d go out to the store and buy their coffee immediately. More »

Whether it’s politics or flamboyant music videos, YouTube certainly has a little something for (mostly) everyone on the interwebs. But, if you’re a fan of comedy, things are about to get a tad bit better: on May 19th, YouTube’s set to launch its own Comedy Week, a first for the Google-owned video giant. As part of the various live streams, online viewers will be able to enjoy “a mix” of stand-up sets, sketches and music shows — which includes performances by a slew of well-known productions and comedians, such as Funny or Die, CollegeHumor, Improv Everywhere, Ed Helms, Seth Rogen, George-Michael Michael Cera and many, many more.
According to YouTube, the goal for Comedy Week is to “create a one of a kind experience” for those who love the genre, with VP of Marketing Danielle Tiedt adding that the site is indeed “the home of comedy for the next generation.” Chances are it’ll be a week filled with plenty of LOLs, so perhaps you should take this time to bookmark the corresponding channel — link for that can be found in the PR after the break.

From May 19 to May 25, YouTube will be organizing a Comedy Week on the website, which will bring together several big name stars who will be performing hilarious, hopefully, sketches and stand-up routines. This is a significant move on YouTube’s part to draw attention towards its entry in the original programming niche. More event weeks will be held later this year, they’ll be centered around various different themes.
Popular comedic stars such as Rainn Wilson, Seth Rogen, Micheal Cera, Vince Vaughn, Sarah Silverman and comedy groups The Lonely Island as well as Tim & Eric will be performing on YouTube Comedy Week. The Week will be live streamed from Culver Studios in Los Angeles, California. YouTube roped in former Jimmey Kimmel Live! producer Daniel Kellison as an executive producer, he has worked with a staff of 40 people to get done with this “tremendously daunting” task of producing YouTube Comedy Week. The humor genre has always been pretty big on the internet, and only recently Comedy Central announced its plans of organizing a comedy festival entirely on Twitter and Vine. With YouTube throwing its hat in the ring, aided by big name comedians, we can surely expect some amazing comedy.

He doesn’t like to kill. Or so he says. In this video by CollegeHumor, The Penguin, played by Patton Oswalt, exposes Batman’s lie and pays for it. More »

One of the best parts of growing up in the 1980s were the awesome action-packed commercials for G.I. Joe toys. They featured kids actually playing with the vehicles and figures, re-enacting scenes of heroism as the Joes battled Cobra. The folks at Movieclips clearly enjoyed those ads too, as they were inspired to make a modern version using one of the trailers for the recently released G.I. Joe sequel. More »

In one of the most iconic scenes from American Psycho, murderous young turk Patrick Bateman waxes psychotic about Huey Lewis and the News. It’s funny, it’s weird, it’s unsettling. But watching Huey Lewis and Weird Al Yankovic create the bizarro world version of that scene? Well, okay, it’s all of those things, too. More »
