What in the world was I thinking?
There is a very funny series on YouTube about Chad Vader, who is supposed to be Darth Vader’s brother. Chad is the day shift manager of a supermarket called Empire Market. If you were a fan of the Star Wars movies, then you will probably find these clips pretty amusing. Check them out:
Last year I ran across an extremely talented young entertainer named Ysabella Brave on YouTube. She turned her singing popularity on YouTube into a recording contract. Her first CD should be coming out soon, and I’m sure that her YouTube fans are anxious to hear it. I know that I am.
Ysabella sings a lot of old songs, which I usually don’t like, but she has a certain charisma about her. She also has written a number of original songs, all of which are very unique. She isn’t just a singer though. In response to many of the comments she received trying to give her advice, she made a comedic video. This video was so popular that she made a series of comedic videos with several different characters all created and played by Ysabella. Her ability to play so many characters reminds me of Eddie Murphy. Except for a few short appearances by her cats and a few other people, she has done everything herself. But that’s not all she does! She also gives advice, and pretty good advice at that. Her range of talent it remarkable.
She has two profiles on YouTube:ysabellabrave (for her songs and entertainment) and ysabellabravetalk (for advice videos, status updates, etc). One thing that is interesting that won’t be immediately obvious by looking at her is that she comes from Native American ancestry, which she mentions in some of her videos. You can read more about Ysabella Brave on her Wikipedia entry.
I have made a few playlists of the videos I like. Check them out. I like the skits the best. She is hilarious!
If you are new to YouTube, I recommend making the videos full screen by clicking on the little square in the lower right corner of the video area. Some of the newer videos have a “high quality” mode. I also recommend using headphones.
Enjoy!
This monkey is pretty fearless! The tigers get pwned!
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the remarkable Randy Pausch on my Rational Wealth blog in the post Learning to Live from a Dying Man. Just a few days after that post, he gave another inspirational speech to the Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2008. I highly recommend it:
Here is a great spoof interview with the Iraqi resistance.
300 was an excellent movie about 300 Spartans who stood up against the massive Persian armies. I loved the movie. Check it out if you like movies with a lot of fighting and defiant bad asses!
Here are some great scenes from the movie:
Also, there have been millions of comedy techno remixes made on YouTube. Here is one that I thought was very funny.
Nobody likes to fail, but watching others fail can be hilarious! Here are some great videos of funny failures.
Hilarious Fail / Owned Video 2
There is even a whole website dedicated to failure called the FAIL blog with a whole bunch of funny pictures and videos.
One website that I have recently been reading a lot is the I can has cheezburger website. It is basically a bunch of pictures of cats (and a few other animals) with captions as if the cats are talking, and they are hilarious! The premise behind it is that cats are notoriously bad at spelling and grammar.
Here is how it all got started:
Here are a few more that I thought were funny. Enjoy!
Hello. My name is Mark Cancellieri. Welcome to my personal blog. I don’t really have a plan in mind for this blog. I will just write when I get the urge and link to things that interest me, like my Rational Wealth blog.
So enjoy!
