The Smart and the Silly

I’ve got two videos for you today. The first is a WWII type battle done with all different types of food. It’s done so well that it’s memorizing

The second is really cool. It’s a neck brace that will project your voice

Kimmel's Response to Sarah and Matt

Jimmy Kimmel posted a response to his girlfriend’s video about f’ing Matt Damon. That video is here and the response Jimmy did is here:

My thoughts are this:  What Matt and Sarah did was really creative, original, and funny.  Ben’s response is also funny, but what makes it funny is the amount of effort they went through to re-create the original – the cameo’s and the whole production.  In my mind, this is the exact difference between Matt and Ben.  While Matt continues to do new things and be original, Ben prefers instead to be a Hollywood star.  Ben takes good ideas and brings big budgets and star power to them.   For every one of Damon’s Syriana there’s an Affleck Daredevil.

Sarah Silverman on Kimmel Show

Thought this video was pretty funny. Sarah’s been dating Jimmy Kimmel for 5 years now. Here’s what she delivered on his show last week. Matt Damon is really a killer:

I thought he was really good in his cameo in European Road Trip, but the Silverman one is better

Animals at a strip club – crazy video

Saw another video that was sent to me via VSL and it is indeed worth a view.  It’s an Orangina commerical which has a bear and deer involved in a seductive dance that spirals into an all out stripper montage with animals throughout the jungle.  I don’t really know what to say

The Strike goes on..

I found (from VSL) some really funny short videos have been made by the writers and directors that are out of commission due to the strike.

One episode has a room full of actors (Martin Sheen, Demi Moore, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, etc.) try to audition for a movie when the script is completely blank.  I really like episode 16 where Patricia Clarkson and Amy Ryan are literally acting out ads from the phone book.

There’s also an episode 18 where a guy picks up a phone to check on movie times and gets this recording…

PS: Why can’t you rotate video? Seems like it should be possible
