Troma Movies on YouTube
Most of them are rubbish, of course, but there’s a few gems in the rubble from the Z-movie specialists. And they’re free. Can’t argue with that. Permalink ·
Watch 130 episodes of The Simpsons simultaneously
If you ever feel the need to catch up, like [c/o Kottke.org]. Permalink ·
Every Itchy and Scratchy Show Ever
Filing this for future reference [c/o mental_floss]. Permalink ·
Worf gets denied, again and again
But I still love you, son of Mogh. Permalink ·
Dog ad gives viewers paws for thought
Forget the rubbish about this ad being designed for dogs and answer me this: how did the dogs get the pallet out of the van? And more importantly, why did they drag it all the way over to the opposite cliff? Permalink ·
The Ex and Brass Unbound live in Dublin
Brilliant video of their gig I missed last year. Permalink ·
Raiders of the Lost Archives
A shot-by-shot comparison of Raiders of the Lost Ark with scenes from 30 different adventure films made between 1919-1973 [c/o MetaFilter]. Spielberg the student of cinema paying tribute to his favourites, perhaps? Permalink ·
No Copyright Intended
“Remix culture is the new Prohibition, with massive media companies as the lone voices calling for temperance. You can criminalize commonplace activities from law-abiding people, but eventually, something has to give.” I half agree with this; remix culture (fan edits, supercuts, etc) is one thing — and a good thing at that — but the apparent misapprehension of copyright among young people (that it’s just a means of attribution, not of protection of artists’ livelihoods) is another matter entirely.

Science channels explode onto YouTube
I’ve said it before: these are perfect tools for the classroom. I’m the kid who learned more from TV about maths and science (and appreciating them) than I ever did at school. I’m surely not the only one. Permalink ·
Every Final Destination Death (1-4)
So you never have to see any of the actual movies. NSFW, or for anyone of a nervous disposition (even though so many of these situations would simply not happen, being physically impossible). Permalink ·
The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time
It goes without saying that this is Not Safe For Work. Permalink ·
The luckiest bastards alive
Some of these look very faked to me. You’ll know which ones I mean. Permalink ·
Jim Henson on Making Muppets
One from the archives here, way back in 1969 at the birth of Sesame Street [c/o Boing Boing]. Permalink ·
Devour: hand-picked videos
Basically YouTube, curated. It would surprise me if the Google boffins aren’t working on something just like this for the site itself. Permalink ·
Mark Steel Lectures on YouTube
They’re only excerpts, but you’ll love them. Why can’t school be like this? [c/o Mind Hacks]. Permalink ·
The Colbert Report analyses Wikipedia
Funny guy, that Colbert. I don’t think the net should be too worried about this — you can see in his eyes that he understands more than what he’s saying. And besides, it raises a fair question that requires debate: What exactly is Wikipedia for, anyway? Permalink ·
Voices of Family Guy
So that’s what they look like! I expect it gets painful after the millionth take, but it seems more fun than most workplaces, that’s for sure [c/o TCAL]. Permalink ·
