  Facebook Infomercial Parody

  Comedy (Broad, Spoof), Other Gems (Advertisements)
  [ 3:35 - from YouTube ]

  eHarmony is under threat -- by that free service that doesnt even have to advertise: Facebook.  Just look at these mauling couples, made official by their status update.  Some of them are even bi-curious hook-up buddies ("It's complicated"), middle-of-the-night pokers, and stalkers...Facebook doesn't care.  "Thank God for Zuckerberg!"  A riff from a student variety show at USC, "Exposed," that takes on the double annoyances of eHarmony ads and Facebook love.   view

  Tough Tennis Coach

  
  Comedy (Broad), Other Gems (Advertisements), Viral (Viral ads)
  [ 0:31 - from Metacafe ]

  A tough coach can be the difference between making you a champion as opposed to a bench-warmer wannabe.  Some of you will never forget those coaches that pushed you to the end of your line, and then pushed some more.  This commercial for a Boris Becker tennis racquet portrays the antics of a hardcore coach rather well, but the resentment he receives is perhaps even more realistic. view

  Dancing Inmates' Michael Jackson Tribute

  
  Music, Viral
  [ 9:13 - from YouTube ]

  Deborah and I returned early from London to attend Michael Jackson's memorial. It was surprisingly elegant and moving. And much more intimate in the hall than it looked on television. Stevie Wonder was extraordinary. Here is another MJ tribute.  view

  Guinew Moon

  Comedy (Spoof), Drama & Genre (Action, Sci-Fi)
  [ 3:24 - from Take180 ]

  I think we can all agree that the cheesiest part of the real New Moon trailer is the paper cut scene because, really, paper cuts don't bleed like that. They spurt, they gush, they overflow! Like in this spoof that somehow mashes New Moon and G-Force, the guinea pig flick. Yes, hard to imagine how to combine them, but watch and see because it's quite clever. view
