Video Round-Up: Little Help from My Friends Edition


Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.

Internet friends are a funny thing. I talked in a previous post about how I hesitate to call them friends, because that seems sad when I've never met them in real life. But if they do anything cool -- or know someone who does something cool -- then I'm immediately telling people I know them as if we're best friends. Well guess what?! I know two of these people!




Chris's articles on Bitmob are always hilarious, even when he is making really though-provoking discussion of gaming as a whole. Plus, his Twitter account (CasualAlcoholic) is just as amusing. So it should be no surprise that he's funny in real life as well. Anybody that can work a Pokemon reference into a joke about barraging his girlfriend with tennis balls has forever won my heart.




I've never seen an episode of Tim and Eric, which this video is based entirely on. Therefore, the beginning part is confusing and weird to me. But then a sexy dance by my gay-internet love Jeff segues to some funny game renaming. I don't know about you, but I think if Nintendo had named it Triangle Hunt, it would have sold infinitely better.

You know when you're watching a game show and you think, "I could do better than that"? Well, a trained monkey could probably do better than these guys.




Professional Wrestling is one of the few jobs that you can show up this high and fit in almost perfectly. SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!



My cockatiel was never this badass. It just hissed and bit at me. My favorite part of this video is when the owner tries to help the bird and the bird shuts him up.

Oh my god I just watched the singing Cockatiel. I NEED ONE OF THOSE NOW. I'd teach it Water Land from SM64.
