Mainpage Youtube Video of the Day

To avoid the paparazzi, who are seriously tying to bring me down these days, I am going back to some features I used to do. One of them is the mainpage Youtube video of the day, where I find a video on the mainpage of Youtube that doesn’t deserve to be there, only today, when I got to the site, I saw a video that I was happy to see there.

I constantly get in fights with friends, family and pretty much everyone about being a hater. They tell me that I am cynical and unfunny and have no business judging other people’s work, because I haven’t proved myself to be any better. Yesterday, my stepdaughter brought me a video about guys singing a song about Canada and I turned it off 5 seconds in because I knew it was garbage. Last week, I went to an independent movie with my wife that was supposed to be really funny and I didn’t laugh once. So being a joke snob and not finding anything worthwhile is pretty much a downer for me and for the people around me.

What they don’t realize, is that I find concepts weak, I find execution weak and that’s really the only reason I don’t laugh. If shit was thought out and produced well, I probably would be laughing like an idiot like they are, but I can’t see past the flaws.

That’s why, I was excited to see a video by a friend of mine, who isn’t actually a friend, but someone I link to and who I am trying to help bring up his own site, because I think dudes got a good angle, has interesting things to say and has the potential of blowing his project out of the water, leaving his past project, Vice Magazine in the dust, because over the years, I have hated 90 percent of what Vice does, but the stuff that this dude produced is what carried the magazine. He was the real brain behind it and all the good stuff that came out of that magazine were from him.

So this is a video/mockumentary done by him and I think the concept is amazing, I think the delivery’s good and I think it’s worth watching, so fuck you to all the people hating on me for hating, because I am down with some things, sometimes, if they are good. Now watch it.
