Video of the Week: One Really (cool) Long Line

Two Sharpies and one really, really long line equals a pretty cool picture. My question is, are they going to leave this on the wall? Paint it maybe?

Video of the Week: An army of three

Three guys, a video camera, some special effects, and the beach where Saving Private Ryan was filmed gives you this...

The making of "Bloody Omaha"

Video(s) of the week: A skier's boys and Tetris

I've been slim on posts this week so to make up for it you're getting a double dose of videos. This first one should inspire those of you experiencing the cold temperatures and snow this time of year...though what this skier endures is hardly inspiring. The announcer cracked me up on this one. The second video is dedicated to my wife...an avid Tetris player especially now that she found an iGoogle add-on for the game. Enjoy!

Skier Says Ouch!


Human Tetris

Video of the Week: The Wii Goes 3D (sort of)

Whether you were one of the lucky few who got a Wii for Christmas or not, you have undoubtedly heard about them. One smart guy has figured out how Nintendo can take its Wii technology and create an entirely mind blowing experience for future games. This is very cool.

Video of the Week: Wheelbarrow skills

Ah, the school relay races. Seems like some people always took those a lot more seriously than others. These guys were definitely serious, but you gotta admit, it's a pretty sweet flip move. If there was a professional league of wheelbarrow racers they would be in.

Video of the Week: Never Seen Crayons Like This

When I was a kid I would draw things with my crayons and imagine what it would be like if they came to life on the page. Now, we're just a little bit closer to that...

Video of the Week: 12 Days of Christmas...sort of

Merry Christmas from MicroExplosion! Here's a great a cappella group called Straight No Chaser from the University of Indiana performing their own version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Very well done and quite funny too. Can you name the song they break into at the end? It's totally 80's!

Video of the Week: The Nutty Buddy (not the food)

Was the "do not try this at home" disclaimer really necessary? Besides, how many of us have a pitching machine sitting around anyway? You gotta admit, this is a great promo video for a company's product. I wouldn't have heard about it otherwise.

Sometimes you just have to make up your own dance moves...

Video of the Week: Dancing to Dave Ramsey

Of all the videos of the week I have ever posted this is one that defies logic and explanation. I really like Dave Ramsey. I'm down with interpretive dancing I guess too, but combining the two is something I could have never imagined. And one other question...what does a raccoon have to do with any of this?

UPDATE: After watching it again I still don't get it. I'm trying but I don't. I find myself making strange faces as I watch this video trying to understand what in the world is trying to be conveyed here. Here's me watching this video...

Video of the Week: Free Eric Volz

This is one of those weeks when I'm going to depart from the usual funny video. Instead, this video is a mini documentary for Eric Volz, an American named who was put in a Nicaraguan prison for a crime with no evidence against him one year ago this week. More information can be found at Friends of Eric Volz site.

Next time you go through the McDonald's drive thru try ordering like this...

Video of the Week: Bad Days At The Office

If you've had a bad week this might ease things for you a bit. It's a very funny montage. I'm pretty sure several of the videos are staged in some way but it's still quite funny. My favorites in the video are (in no particular order): the bathroom smoker, the old man's reaction to the paper airplanes and subsequent reaction to boss, and the final guy on the video who uses his keyboard into a baseball bat.

Video of the Week: 15 Lateral Touchdown

If you're a football fan you've seen a lot of touchdowns but you've never seen one like this. It's from a game between two Division III schools, Trinity and Millsaps. Bottom line: Don't doubt the Trinity.

BONUS:
Thanks to Brea I had to share this with you too...

An office had a going away party for one of their employees and called Walmart to order the cake. This is what they wanted on the cake:
"Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that write "We will miss you".

This is what they got:

Video of the Week: Uh, yeah, that's a good ladder.

The Internet is afire with Gabe and Max's Internet Thing video but I'm going to pass on it as the video of the week. Instead, here's a television shopping channel blooper. It's classic. Just remember: "You have to lock it."

Video of the Week: David Crowder Rocks with "Guitar Hero"

A few months ago I had my first opportunity to play Guitar Hero on the XBox 360 with Chris. It was a ton of fun and I've heard that some people are starting to modify the guitar controllers for actual real music use. Turns out David Crowder has one he's using in concert...

Video of the Week: The NASCAR Coach

I recently discovered my good friend Chris is a new NASCAR fan. This is a fairly recent love for him so I thought he might be interested to see this interview with a NASCAR coach. Just remember...the key is to drive fast and turn left...except when you drive straight.

Video of the Week: The Kanye West/Rainn Wilson - The Great Rap Challenge

I didn't see this when it originally aired but it's very funny. Rainn Wilson is one of my favorite actors on The Office so pretty much anything with him in it is going to get me hooked...
