Goggleburn - Online TV You Gotta See

Whisky's made for drinking, lips are made for synching

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 16:34:42 EDT

Lipsyncher.com collects lip-synch videos, adding biting commentary. For example, they say about the following clip:

Pop punk was fun, wasn’t it? It was just hardcore enough for the suburbs and the TRL crowd. I once saw one of those MTV VJs on the street. I suddenly felt the urge to just start screaming. It was weird. Anyway, the highlight of this piece of crap is the lightening that invigorates these tweens to take off their shirts and drink coffee.

The Best Ransom Note Ever

Just...just watch it. The titular ransom note starts with "We are holding Jesus ransom" and gets better. Even the recipient's analysis of the note is priceless.

The You Suck At Photoshop Guy Makes A Big Decision

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:30:34 EST

In this Wednesday's show I mentioned You Suck At Photoshop, a clever slow-burn comedy series from the site My Damn Channel in which an estranged husband takes out his marital difficulties on his Photoshop tutorial users. The bonus is that he's actually teaching real Photoshop techniques. In today's new episode, he decides to part with something special.

An acoustic ode to "2 Girls 1 Cup"

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:14:44 EST

Have you seen the current popular gross-out video "2 Girls 1 Cup"? Good, don't. It's a fetish flick that makes old shock sites like Goatse look like teddy bears made of cotton candy. Which is why, as with all sexy or nasty fads, it needs an acoustic ode. Beware: Here be filthy filthy lyrics.

The performer, John LaJoie, is also famous for his ironic "Regular Normal Guy" rap video, which actually trumps Weird Al's "White and Nerdy."

History Made As Crazy Kid Daxflame Licks His Elbow

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 02:20:09 EST

"Watch History be made by Me in this Video!" says Daxflame, the awkward teenager who's been viewed over five million times on YouTube. And here he does it, in a video that's already earned over 100 thousand views:

Is this kid really so crazy that he thinks he's broken a world record by licking his elbow? Nope. A source at YouTube says Daxflame is definitely an actor, which makes this one of the most talented teens I've ever seen online. Somebody sign this guy and make him the next Michael Cera.

What is Goggleburn?

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:46:26 EST

Goggleburn is the sting in your eyes when you've been ogling online videos all night and it's 6 AM on Monday and oh dear lord you can't see anything because the Internet blasted you with whiteout.

Goggleburn is also the name of both this site and its flagship show, a weekly recap of the Internet's best new videos. Goggleburn uses a formula that combines the most-viewed and most-loved clips from YouTube, MySpaceTV, Vimeo, and other video sites to make a weekly top 10 list you won't find anywhere else. You'll see this show every Wednesday.

Mondays you'll see an in-depth look at a trend in popular videos (lip-dubs, time-lapses, coin-bouncing tricks, acoustic versions of rap songs) or a killer video creator (Jake and Amir, Obama Girl, Ask a Ninja).

Fridays? I can't prepare you for Fridays. Could be a dramatic reenactment of "Lazy Sunday" by three-year-olds. Could be the result of showing "2 Girls 1 Cup" to strangers on the street. Could be a daredevil stunt I paid some crazy kid in Ohio to do.

Welcome to Goggleburn, the online TV you gotta see.
