  Kyocera Squirrel Commercial - Cell Phone Karma

  Comedy (Dark Comedy), Other Gems (Advertisements)
  [ 0:30 - from YouTube ]

  The Japanese electronics company Kyocera put out this commercial a couple of years ago. Considering all the “turn off your cell phone’ comedy bits shown during previews at movie theatres, this commercial really holds up and gets the point across perhaps better than any other such message I have seen. There are some satires of it on YouTube as well.  view

  Tony vs. Paul

  
  Animation (Stop Motion), Drama & Genre (Action)
  [ 5:03 - from YouTube ]

  A great idea does not have to be expensive technology. Soon this concept was adopted by many high fluten ad agencies to use with large corporate clients. But it started here. Think sock puppets, Blair Witch, even Microsoft. In short; you have the tools…now figure out what we all can’t live with and you’ll be rich.  view

  Grass Roots: Coffee's Not Dessert

  Comedy (Broad, Politics)
  [ 3:11 - from YouTube ]

  This web comedy series takes a fun look at the workers on a local political campaign. Smart without being smug, I'm loving what Aaron Hilliard and Kirby Heyborne are doing with these characters. Looking forward to more episodes of this one.  view

  SNL Digital Shorts: Mother Lover

  Comedy (Broad), Music (Music Videos), Other Gems (TV Clip)
  [ 3:08 - from NBC ]

  Any time Andy Samberg collaborates with Justin Timberlake for an SNL digital short, what they create instantly turns to gold.  They did it first with "Dick in a Box," and Saturday night they did it again - this time for the moms of America.  If mother lovin' is wrong, they don't wanna be right.  This one is definitely Ka-Blamo! view
