Nice show, but methinks summat was missing, I'll come onto that later.

Good to see some metal being featured \m/ \m/ :D haven't heard much himsa before, so I'll make a point to obtain some more this time.

Methinks someone will come up with the Mccain - roll at some point. In fact, courtesy of you guys I found a muppets rick roll. and I also found an 8-bit rick roll (as someone who's trying to get to grips with tracking software, that is impressive :P ). I also have come across an organisation that genuinely deserves to get rick-rolled, the church of scientology, I read it in a blog post ages ago, a while back about the significance of rickrolling scientology, I'm paraphrasing it because I can't find the original aricle but it went along the lines of "whether or not the protesters knew it, the song is a call to the members within who are struggling to cope, from outside friends and family (and perhaps even katie holmes :P ), it's all in the chorus lyrics...

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
never gonna run around... and desert you

Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie... and hurt you"

finally this brings me onto what's missing,

quote from original post...
"Video Campfire Discussion: When does DRM cross the line from protecting a product to killing it?"

Didn't see anything about a campfire discussion in the full length episode, Deliberate ommision perhaps or a total memory lapse among the fu crew?

Are we gonna await an official thread on this before posting our thoughts and videos?

Edit: after I typed this I realised an official post appeared, I take that back, woops :S

Lately i have used Hulu for stuff... not internet originals, i know,but they have decent stuff.
There is a canadian series called Regenesis.... it is great... season 2, i think is better then season 1. much more charactor driven. It shows that the US television is so afraid to have verbal/idea/morality attacks on the US government. more canadian/international tv to the web please....otherwise... "If I" on UTube by Demetri Martin... george carlin specials... collegehumor.com has some neat stuff, mainly good things from Michael Showalter... that although on collegehumor which the name turns me off as it sounds like fratboy humor it is so much more then that

i've seen all the colllege humor videos, up to a few weeks ago. it's half and half, or a little less, there's a lot of dumb stuff, and some of it is really funny, and bit of is is brilliant.

i was already a michael showalter fan, but when he plays a complete jackass, it's funny, but i kind of like him when he's not. i think george carlin, too, was best when he let his humanity through, regardless of how angry he was, and really, should have been. his last years were not as funny. they were just bitter, but he had every right. i guess i like humor where the comic is allowed to laugh with you, even if it is angry.

i'd like to see people strike out with shows more. if you're already making videos, i think it's going to get safer to try new things than it is now.

it's becoming common knowledge that you can create quality entertainment on low budgets, without corporate constraints and outside control. now that it's proven, no one has to say "well, i'd like to make a series, but if it's bad, it will give me / internet video a bad name." imagine what could be done if everyone holding out (i know, i'm one of them so do i have any room to talk?) just didn't.

I dont want jimmy fallon to do the late show! :(

I'd much rather see any of the following fill the role:
Tina Fey
John Stewart
Stephen Colbert
Bill Maher
that ferguson guy
jimmy kimmel, although i'm not a huge fan
Chris Rock


. . . c'mon kids, we could do a lot better than that fallon guy (TAXI):)

Reply to This

colbert and stewart already have the best hosted shows on comedy central, you wouldn't want them diverted to something on late night.

chris rock... that would be interesting. i like jimmy fallon, but no way is he good enough to take on conan's show. bill maher isn't enough fun, tina fey isn't funny enough, and jimmy kimmel would be an insult.

who could be added to the list... i like the idea of a black host. chris tucker might be too silly :| dave chappelle would be even better than chris rock, but he'd probably end up getting tired of the network, right? (i don't blame him, but nonetheless...)

george carlin would be perfect except for that one little thing... you know who would be better than anyone else from saturday night live for conan's spot? andy samberg. as far as a woman host, that would be good too, but the funniest women for the show anywhere would probably be people no one's ever heard of.

i think there's a 50% chance kenan thompson could do it and do it well. i'd much rather see that experiment than jimmy fallon. is that really the best they can do?
