A couple of years ago, I made an animation about Lauren Cleri, a lady who had an embarrassing appearance on the defunct Fox “reality” game show, Moment of Truth.  The show was a relatively hot topic on the internet at the time and has retained enough relevance in the land of memes for the video to still get views and comments to this day.  All in all, I’d say that about 97% of the comments that were ever left on that video were completely useless.

Before going into specifics, I’ll post the video here for the hyperlink-impaired:

Anyway, here are a few of the examples of comments nobody should ever, ever leave on a YouTube video.

1) “Hahahaha”:  Really any variation of this is unacceptable.  Hahahas, LOLs, ROFLs and LMAOs are all equally useless.  Congratulations, you laughed at something.  While I appreciate the sentiment of trying to inform me that you enjoyed my video, I really don’t need to know unless you have something a little less vague to say.  This isn’t a comedy club.  Video uploaders don’t feel bad if they don’t hear enough LOLing.

2) “wtf”:  All this means to me is that you’re easily confused.  I already know that most of the internet is comprised of idiots.  I don’t need more confirmation.

3) “mr.whiskers i knew it!”:  Yes…I know the video contains this line.  I wrote it.  Don’t ever comment with nothing more than a line from the video.

4) “fuck this vid can u say gay ?”:  On the other side of rule #1 above, I also could care less if you didn’t like the video.  However, if you insist on insulting a video, you could at least do your best to maximize your impact by not sounding like a complete moron.

5)  Over-reactive rants:   Perhaps my favorite useless comments are those where someone spends an entire paragraph explaining why I’m sexist, or how my video proves that America is “going down the toilet,” or about how I should be ashamed about how horrible and offensive I am.  I’m just a guy who made a pointless cartoon in his spare time.  Save your outrage for something that actually matters.

NB:  All of these rules go immediately out the window when dealing with the “vlog” community.  You know who I’m talking about.  Kids who spend 5 minutes talking about their feelings in front of a webcam every day.  These people feed off of your attention, no matter how useless your comment actually is.  So, feel free to throw a “wtflol” to them whenever you see them.  It just might stop them from crying that night.

I’ve watched this video at least a dozen times since I discovered it two weeks ago and it never fails to make me giggle out loud. I finally decided it was time to pass this joy along to the viewers of my website (all two of you).

Sure, the title of this YouTube video sounds like some kind of furry porn, but instead it’s the most amazing stop-motion art I’ve ever seen.  Sure, it maybe doesn’t have the polish of a real production (it’s obviously homemade), but the amazement comes from it’s sheer brilliance and creativity.

Somebody give this guy a full length motion picture script and let him animate it just like this!

Apparently, this is what sometimes passes for music these days.  I’m not kidding…these guys have been on MTV and everything.  Stick around until at least 1:56, when the song gets truly terrible.

The other day, while flipping through the channels, I stumbled across this clip from an old Beverly Hills, 90210 episode.  For some reason, I felt it was important to memorialize this travesty of cinema.  So, here it is, where it belongs…on YouTube:

I rarely visit my MySpace page (member since 12.20.03), but after doing so today I decided to delete one of my random “friends” for posting this crazy shit in one of her 50 bulletins:

Well, Autumn’s kidney stone may suck a lot…but at least she doesn’t need her kidney removed:

A short film based on the Earth Day story…
