Hey all, here is a few videos and sites that I love. They are from quite a while back, but they are good none-the-less.
Channel 101
There are a slew of off the wall “shows” that I used to watch on Channel101.com. All of these shows are somewhat of a parody of modern tv shows - weak plots, worse scripts, and overdone special effects. In the fashion of TV, each month the creators whip up a new ‘episode’ of their show. The shows are screened and the top 5 are carried on, while all others are cancelled. I don’t suggest checking these out if you are easily offended.
- The ‘Bu - As mentioned in a recent blog post, was my first introduction to The Lonely Island crew and (sometimes) features Elliot from Scrubs. Episode 1 is a good intro to this strip, I suggest going straight through, but if you are rushed for time then skip right to episode 8, the month where they “didn’t make an episode”. CLAP - CLAP
- House of Cosbys - HoC to those in the know. If you lived through the 80’s and remember Jello, Picture Pages, and of course the Cosby Show, then this is the show for you. It had a great first few episodes but started to slide into the obscene, luckily it was saved from implosion by an unruly Cease and Desist.
- There are many more: Yacht Rock, Most Extraordinary Space Investigations (often featuring Sarah Silverman), and so many more.
Homestar Runner
Ok, this is definitely an oldy, and you shouldn’t need me to introduce you to this, but if you haven’t heard of Homestar Runner, or perhaps his more well known buddy - Strongbad, then please check it out right now. Below I’ve picked out a few of my all time favorites, but there are hundreds of fantastic videos on that site, you can lose days there. One of the best things about these videos is the easter eggs, you can find out more about them on the Homestar Wiki.
The intro to the site is available below (sorry about the bad audio), one of my favorite strong bad emails is anything. The side shows are pretty hot too, like Teen Girl Squad and many others!
