The Wonders of YouTube
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Almost everyone has explored YouTube at one time or another. The entertainment possibilities seem endless. There are even YouTube shows now. I am not that into YouTube, nor do I spend much time searching it. I usually find things by following links friends recommend. So in the interest of spreading the joy, here are some of my favorites.
The Treadmill Music Video
I think almost everyone has seen this one. But if you haven’t, it is worth your time to take a look. I have wondered how long it took to figure out the choreography. However long it took, I’m glad they did it because the choreography is what makes this video interesting. Don’t get me wrong, the song is catchy, but it is the choreography that has me revisiting this video every once in a while.
The evolution of dance
This one is a mix of comedy and dance. Even though I don’t follow music and dance very well, I still recognized most of the dance steps he was doing. They are just iconic and we have seen most of them even if we haven’t seen the music videos they came from.
The Perils of Travel
This is a clip from some Australian tv show of a comedian from Wales complaining about the troubles he encountered during his trip to Australia. I know that at least one of my friends can really relate to this one.
Supernatural videos
As you already know if you have read many of my posts, I am a big Supernatural fan. I generally don’t search out videos myself, but after going to a convention (yes, I admit it, I am a one of those fans) and seeing a video, I decided to try to find it on YouTube. I found it and several others. Here are my favorites.
The first video is the video I set out to find. It is set to the song ‘Not Yet Dead’ from Spamalot and shows at lot of scenes of Dean and Sam (but especially Dean) getting pummeled. (A warning for those who have not seen all of Supernatural and are thinking of catching up, this video takes scenes from the first season and the first half of the second season.) I will say that although the video is funny, I like it mostly for the song. After seeing this video, I really want to see the show Spamalot.
The next Supernatural video recaps the episode ‘Mystery Spot’ from the third season. I love this video both for the song (very gripping – it was used in an episode of Smallville. The only reason to watch that episode is to see the end sequence where Lex is touring 33.1 to the sound of this song.) and for the way the editor cut together the scenes to give you a very good recap of the episode. For those of you who have not seen the episode, the beginning of show is their version of Groundhog Day with each day ending with Dean dying in a different way. It is both funny and disturbing.
After seeing the CW commercial using Johnny Cash’s song, God’s Gonna Cut You Down, the creator of this video was inspired to do a full length video. I think I like it mostly because I like the Johnny Cash song, but the editor does a good job of recapping the first season with a few scenes from the beginning of the second season thrown in.
There are so many more videos out there, but I will stop for now. Happy YouTubing.
They’re Back!
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Ah, it’s that time of year again. The holidays are over, we’re already breaking New Year’s resolutions, and we are anticipating receiving the paperwork that we will need to do our taxes.
Amid all this not so festive time of year there is one bright spot: our TV shows are returning. Not only are the normal network shows coming back, but those shows on USA, SyFy, TNT, etc. (at least most of the ones I watch) are coming back as well. Nathan and team (Leverage) came back last week; Kate and Rick came back on Monday (Castle); Neal and Peter came back Tuesday night (White Collar); Michael, Fiona and Sam (Burn Notice) will reappear tonight along with Sam and Dean (Supernatural); Olivia, Peter, and Walter made an early comeback a few weeks ago (Fringe); Kate, Jack, Sawyer and company will be back next week (Lost); and Clark and friends will also be back next week (Smallville). I am also planning on giving Caprica a try when it starts tomorrow.
Of course, not all of the shows I really enjoy are back: V and FlashForward are not reappearing until March; Stargate Universe will be back in “Spring”; and I have to wait until summer to see Eureka. But still, most of the shows that I find very entertaining are either already back or soon will be.
Of course the show that I am most anxious to see return is Supernatural. It is by far my favorite show and I can’t wait for tonight’s episode. Of course, since this will probably be the final season, that will bring me one episode closer to the end. I am both looking forward to this and dreading it. I am looking forward to it because I want to know how Kripke (Supernatural’s creator) and company will wrap up the story; I am dreading it because their will be no more stories of Sam and Dean.
Anyway, whatever you watch, I hope it helps entertain you through all of the ups and downs of this time of year.
Changing Channels
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Spoiler alert! If you haven’t seen the Changing Channels episode of Supernatural, you might not want to read this post.
As many of you know, Supernatural is my favorite show that is currently on TV. And last week’s episode was a prime example of why I love this show. In this episode, Sam and Dean once again encounter the Trickster. Sam and Dean are in some town investigating a mysterious death. They soon realize that they are dealing with the Trickster. Sam and Dean’s reactions are different: Dean wants to kill the Trickster; Sam wants to talk to him and try to get his help. They soon get caught in TV land and end up learning that he’s the archangel Gabriel, not a trickster. That was an interesting twist. I did not see that coming. Did you? And Gabriel wants the end of the world to come so that the fighting between his brothers will end. Turns out that there is another reason why Sam and Dean are Lucifer and Michael’s vessels: Lucifer and Michael are brothers, too.
All and all, a very interesting episode. But the fun part of this episode was all the different shows that the Trickster put Sam and Dean into, and watching Sam and Dean figure out what they had to do to get out of TV land. I’m trying to remember all of the ’shows’ the Trickster put Sam and Dean in:
- the Supernatural sitcom including cheesy theme song and opening credits.
- Dr Sexy MD
- the Japanese game show ‘Nutcracker’
- CSI knock off
- Knight Rider knock off
I think that was all of them, but my favorite spoof was Sam’s herpes medicine commercial. I was howling.
Did you watch the show? What did you think?
