Video of the Week: Ke$ha Gets an iPad

Kelly Spore — Fri, 07 May 2010 04:17:38 +0000

Another funny video from iJustine. This one is another of her spoofs. The object of her spoofing – Ke$ha. In an interview that I heard iJustine give she said that Ke$ha’s interviews are always “interesting” and she wondered it would be like if Ke$ha got an iPad. For Ke$ha fans out there… I’m sorry, but this is funny.

Video of the Week: Funny Words

Kelly Spore — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 02:58:10 +0000

I think I’ve got a pretty good video of the week for you. With nearly 250,000 views on YouTube since April 21st (4 days) it’s currently one of the hottest videos on YouTube; and for good reason.

I’ve not seen her videos (spricket24) before, but I will have to check some of them out. Basically in this one she runs through lots of “funny” words. Not funny because of what they mean, but funny in how they sound. At one point, one of the words cracks her up as she is trying to say it.

Apparently this bit of comedy sprang from saying “gobsmacked” to someone and having that person laugh at her for using the word. Gobsmacked, if you didn’t know, means utterly astonished; no I didn’t know that until I looked it up!

Video of the Week: Odor Blocker

Old Spice Odor Blocker commercial. It’s short, it’s quick, it’s fun! Check it out. It’s the kinds of advertising that probably works very well. The next time you are in the store looking at deodorant, you will probably remember this commercial.

Texas Stadium – Gone With the Wind

Kelly Spore — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 01:56:36 +0000

This weekend an era came to an end in Irving, Texas. The Texas Stadium (35 Mil to build), home of the Dallas Cowboys from 1971 until 2008 was brought down in spectacular fashion. I’ve driven by the stadium countless times on my way to Irving. It’s actually hard to imagine what it will be like driving down Loop 12 into Irving and not seeing the stadium. I was only in the stadium once and that was for a big country concert. That was actually my first time ever in a professional football stadium (Skelly Stadium didn’t count – Professional Soccer).

For some interesting facts and the story on Texas Stadium check the Texas Stadium’s wikipedia page, lots of really cool information on the former stadium.

Below check out this YouTube video of the implosion. Be sure to play this video right, click on play and then choose to go to Full Screen (assuming your hardware can handle it). You can choose up to 1080p HD. Now, it may bring a tear to your eye as Texas Stadium truly is gone with the wind.

Okay, the video quality isn’t all that great; but the present sure is fun. A gift from my youngest daughter. You can find this video and many others from Christmas over on KWTV or KWLive, just look at the top of this webpage.

I edited this video together yesterday from video I took while Brion, Rachel and Titus were here. The video quality isn’t great, but then it was taken on an iPhone. We had a great time while my brother and his family were here. We didn’t get to spend a great deal of time with them, busy lives and all; but we did get some quality time together. Titus was a joy and reminds me so much of Brion; looks like him too. I have a photo of Brion at that age and it’s amazing how much they look alike.

Brion, hope your trip home was safe. Enjoy the video, and should YOU “upgrade” to an iPhone, be sure to send me lots of videos. We can add them to the family collection on KWTV.

I’m also making this my Video of the Week!

Video of the Week: 9/13 – Kevin Nealon Phrases

Kelly Spore — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:42:52 +0000

This is a bit from a Kevin Nealon stand-up special on Comedy Central. You might remember Kevin Nealon from Saturday Night Live. He is also currently on the ShowTime series Weeds. I also saw him this weekend in the movie Aliens in the Attic. He had a small part as the dad, but the movie was funny.

Video of the Week: 9/7 – Party In the USA

Kelly Spore — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:59:35 +0000

Okay, I know I’m going to take some heat for this Video of the Week. For a couple of weeks I’ve been hearing “Party in the USA” either on the radio or Kristie playing it on her iPod. It was catchy; but I didn’t know who was singing (not unusual for me). I figured it was one of the many new artists hitting the scene. The proverbial “One Hit Wonder.”

Then I was cruising the old web and tripped over one the videos on YouTube. Low and behold I discovered it was Miley Cyrus, better known as Hanna Montana. If you don’t know who Miley Cyrus is, well, you might well just be living under a rock. If you don’t know who Hanna Montana is, then you have been living not on Mars; but Pluto. So get your happy rear end on a rocket ship and get back to Earth.

Anyway, not even my oldest daughter new it was Miley Cyrus at first; she was just as surprised as I was. It’s not that Party in the USA isn’t something I just couldn’t imagine her singing, the style is just something new for her. It’s bubble gum, no two ways about it. The only redeeming value of the song, it’s FUN. I have to ask, what’s wrong with that? I love “Surf’n In the USA” too, but it’s far from a statement on the human condition. I’m also not giving up listing to Chick Corea or Nina Simone anytime soon.

Before you give me too much heat though, reviews from critics on the song are actually pretty good. Basically, they seem to be saying the same thing I am. The song is catchy and fun, even if it is lacking somewhat in substance.

The video below is from a Today Show performance from August 28th, 2009 on NBC (to give full credit). There is also a video from the Teen People’s Choice Awards 2009; but the video is bad and well, her performance is a bit “controversial.” As a Disney kid, she’s going to have a rocky climb into the adult pop world. Check out YouTube for the video in question. It’s perfectly safe, just a bit much for the pre-teens crowd that makes up the vast majority of her current demographic. It’s not anywhere near the 1984 MTV Music Awards performance of “Like A Virgin” by Madonna.

If “Party in the USA” isn’t your cup of tea, no problem. As much as it’s being played on the radio (and in my house) I may demote it to “most hated video of the week” by October.

Video of the Week 8/31: Fake but Great – iPhone Ad

Kelly Spore — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 16:35:46 +0000

This morning I found this iPhone Ad “Leaked New iPhone Commercial” on YouTube. It’s a little long for an iPhone commercial (more than a minute) but it’s really well made. Here’s the short description – iPhone Apps for the man who’s girlfriend has broken up with him. Okay, now just hit play!

UPDATE: I’ve decided to make this one the Video of the Week for August 31st.

Video of the Week: 8/24

Kelly Spore — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:47:14 +0000

If you spend anytime on YouTube at all you have probably run across at least one of the videos done by iJustine. She is what I’ve heard referred to as an Internet Celebrity. She does regular video blogging and video skits. A few of the more recent ones have been spoofs. This video is a spoof of the Black Eyed Peas song – “I Gotta Feeling.” It’s not the funniest thing on the net; but it is good and what’s more amazing – she does this all in her apartment doing most if not all of the work herself. I might add it’s all done on Macs. But of course!

Oh in the video she is making fun of profile pictures. Those are the photos that folks use on FaceBook or other social media sites to show themselves off. You, of course, want to look good in those photos and have them show off who you “really” are; or aren’t as the case may be.
