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.
Yes, it seems we are just in time to celebrate Halloween--nope, nix that. At any rate, I hope you enjoyed your Halloween celebrations; that is, I hope you weren't stuck answering the door every time you sat down and read two sentences of that classic scary story you've been meaning to read so that you couldn't finish it until the bell rang signaling the new month, and you missed Ray Barnholt's live stream of a playthrough of Ghouls & Ghosts, and you couldn't find time to watch a scary movie because while you didn't like handing out candy to trick-or-treaters you didn't want to be a Scruge and turn off your porch light, nor could you find a spooky game to play through to try and get into the spirit of the holiday and no one called you because they had responsibilities on Monday morning and--
Sorry.
Assuming that all of these clips underwent no heavy editing, how cool is this! Many of such videos you have probably seen (insanely precise long basketball shots) though some you may haven't (moonwalking car summoner). I always like compilations like this because of their ability to inspire greatness. However, I'm afraid I'm more jealous and depressed after seeing this than I am inspired.
Though this Round-Up missed Halloween, it's in perfect time for the joint Halloween-Thanksgiving horror B-movie (er...F-movie), Thankskilling. I don't support this movie, even ironically. But I do think the trailer is worth a watch. I've heard the full feature is so bad, one is hard-pressed to make fun of the movie that insults itself.
For something crazy but 100% self-aware, try Axe Cop, a series animated by a guy and written by his five-year-old brother. Its craziness is so because the writer does not limit himself to believable or sound plots.
Finally, the conclusion to Comedy Central's heavily hyped Rally to Restory Sanity and/or Fear, held Saturday, October 30, at DC's National Mall. I stayed tuned for most of the three-hour rally, and I enjoyed it because I like both Colbert's and Stewart's comedy. However, it would have meant very little if not for this speech. Seriousness is the necessary emulsifier that binds the political comedy to political motivation to act positively. For this reason, I appreciate Stewart's speech. Enjoy it if you missed it live on Saturday!

Poor, Chris. At least you didn't have to carry around an almost 3 year old with an awkward costume for 2 hours!
Man, people ARE awesome, and that Axe Cop thing fits right in with that. Reminds me of all the stupid shit I wrote about when I was younger.
