Top Web Videos of the Past Year (The Nominees Are...)
Friday, March 12, 2010
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On Tuesday, March 16th, Bud Caddell and I will be hosting the SXSW panel with the most ROFLs:
Web Video THUNDERDOME: Branded vs. Unbranded, You Decide.
Tue 3/16 at 11am
in Room Hilton H
my.sxsw.com/events/event/574
RSVP to the Facebook Event
We've put together what we hope will be an enjoyable (and hopefully informative) little presentation packed with everything we know about how videos get popular on the web. Then we'll get to the meat of the panel, the ultimate showdown of the best web videos of the past year (since Susan Doyle and JK Wedding Dance).
The nominees are...
Best Song Parody
Two kings of candy corn, The Muppets and CollegeHumor.com, mash up their unique sensibilities with a pop music classic.
The Muppets - Bohemian Rhapsody (branded)
vs.
CollegeHumor.com - I Gotta Feeling Parody (un-branded)
Best Cute Kid Tricks
Whether they're computer-animated or not, people around the world can't tear themselves away from these adorable kids doing amazing things.
Evian Roller Babies (branded)
vs.
Ukelele Boy - I'm Yours (un-branded)
Best Web Video Antidepressent (or The Happy Happy Joy Joy Prize)
Which is more stimulating to our brain's pleasure center: mind-blowing physical computing or kittens!?
Volkswagen's Piano stairs - TheFunTheory.com (branded)
vs.
Surprised Kitty (un-branded)
Best Actor
Two videos with amazing, heart-felt, riveting performances; one wants you to buy soap, the other wants you to treat "gingers" with more respect.
Old Spice - The Man Your Man Could Smell Like (branded)
vs.
Gingers Do Have Souls (un-branded)
and finally...
Best Web Video of the Year (or The Grampa, You're Scaring Me! Award)
Two very odd older gentleman go off their rockers, and the internet was there to capture it on video for our LOL-ing and OMG-ing pleasure.
American Idol - Pants On The Ground (branded)
vs.
Epic Beard Man - AC TRANSIT BUS FIGHT I AM A MOTHERFUCKER (un-branded)
We will also be awarding a very special surprise Lifetime Achievement Award to one particular performance that has given voice to more joy and outrage than any other video in web video history.
