Yo-yo’s in Space

I like a good Yo-yo show. Long time readers might remember K-Strass the Yo-Yo man. So Yo-yos in space. Well. Cool.

Brilliant: The Downfall of Gangham Style

When Youtube sensations collide…

A bit of pong at the traffic lights

Waiting at traffic lights is dead time. This little installation art/retro gaming homage is pretty cool…

Fainting Goats

You’ve probably seen this already. But I owe the internet a series of funny YouTube videos after last week’s type fest.

“When the goat is startled or excited it causes a stiffening of the muscles,” which causes the goat to fall over. Like this

Guy gets new green screen, does completely rational thing…

So this guy got a green screen. And you know what I’d do if I had a green screen – because it’s what everybody would do.

I’d take this awesome cloud video:

And with a complete sense of nonchalance, I would lip sync to an entire Creed song while falling through said clouds.

Admit it. That’s totally the first thing that popped into your head at the words “green screen”…

A disproportionate response: the only correct way to react to Facebook “hacking”

I use “hacking” here in the loosest possible sense to describe the not particularly funny thing people do when you leave your computer, phone, or tablet unattended and they take liberties with your Facebook status.

It was probably funny once. And it’s funniest when it involves toilet humour. But now it’s old. And now, better still, this video is circulating and people are becoming aware that the best revenge for this Facebook misdemeanour is a totally disproportionate response.

This guy learned his lesson (there’s some bad language in this video).


 

This used to be a Temple…

The Kid’s Talk Team at Creek Road put together this stellar video as part of our “Shadow to Reality” series on Hebrews. I think it’s gold.

Great burger review. Gets autotuned.

I love a good burger. So does this guy. He has a whole channel dedicated to burger reviews.

The autotune guys love this guy.

Both these videos were found via Stellar.io.

As a bonus, here’s his review of the Burger King’s Bacon Sundae.

Gotye’s Youtube Orchestra

Gotye (aka Wally De Backer) is a clever guy. He’s put together a remix of his own song using covers other people have posted to Youtube.

A “viral” guide to “viral video”

Warning: There are some clips in here that may slightly, or significantly, offend.

Some guys who make really successful viral videos are talking about what makes a viral video, and the history of viral videos. Useful stuff if you’re thinking about making YouTube part of your social media mix as a church or company.

The “Viral storytelling” part about 5:30 in was, I reckon, particularly interesting.

It’s good stuff.

The Dark Lion Rises

I’m very much looking forward to checking out Batman when assessment allows it. In the meantime, there’s this.

Introducing John Daker

John Daker is available for your next church musical event.

Here is a subtitled and animated version.

Excited train guy almost certain to be autotuned

This guy likes his trains.

Bromance rekindled: Anderson Cooper and William Tapley (a.k.a 3rd Eagle of the Apocalypse, a.k.a Co-prophet of the End Times)

So William Tapley’s horrible Romney song earned him a place on Anderson Cooper’s ridiculist.

Here’s Cooper putting him on the list.

Here’s Tapley’s response.

Fun times.

Clowning around with the gospel

Here are some rules, or principles, for Christian clowning.

“When you enter the nursing home do not stand together with your group in a large cluster of clowns. Clowns can look rather intimidating if you see a lot of them in one place.”

“Choose a partner. Two clowns together are really great. If you attempt to make visits with 3 or 4 you outnumber the person so much that they may feel a bit uneasy.”

The guy in the video is Floyd Shaffer – the so-called “father of clown ministry”… he’s written a few books.

If I Were A Clown

And this one called Clown Ministry

Clown Ministry

If you want a good guide to “Everything New and Who’s Who In Clown Ministry” there’s this guide out there too.

Here are some tips for setting up a clown ministry in a hospital, rather than a nursing home. Because a captive audience is vital.

But here’s another rule. Don’t be creepy.

It turns out you can head along to a Clowns for Jesus conference if this excites you.

I’m so glad this is a thing.
