Top 10 YouTubes of 2008 from Earshot Presents
Welcome to the Top 10 YouTubes of 2008 from Earshot Presents, as compiled on one Saturday afternoon late in December. The following videos are in no particular order.
787 Cliparts by Oliver Laric
Christian the Lion – Whitney Houston never sounded so tolerable.
Clapton Shreds – the Shreds series is brilliant. The videos were created by Santeri Ojala (aka St. Sanders) and banned from YouTube, but were reposted everywhere. The re-poster in this case seems to have missed the subtle humor of this video and thinks Clapton’s jazzing out. What a tool.
Cloverfield Monster Revealed Apology – This is the final installment of Norman Coady’s posts regarding the film Cloverfield. In late 2007, Norman (aka Rockwell) grew concerned that the premise of the upcoming film Cloverfield was dangerously parallel to the premise of his rock-opera, Deposession. The following is his brilliantly produced apology for having been somewhat mistaken. The music is Rockwell’s own. Look out for Deposession in 2009, and check out the vids in the meantime.
iPhone Customers Strike Back at KTLA Reporter Eric Spillman – This video is also followed up with an apology.
Professor Brothers: Late Date – Another classic from the brilliant mind of Brad Neely, whose Babycakes and Professor Brothers videos blew up in 2007 and 2008. Bob Odenkirk’s SuperDeluxe.com, the host site for Neely’s work, was recently acquired by Adult Swim, and Neely’s videos are frustratingly hard to find for the moment. Shame on Adult Swim. Most of Neely’s vids have disappeared from YouTube, too, so here’s an embed from AOL.
My Name is Lisa – A 13 year old girl deals with her mother’s Alzheimer’s. If you don’t have the patience to watch a 6:30 video right now, bookmark/save this one for later.
I Will – Dig it. The young and gifted and prolific Sungha Jung (now 12 years old).
Highlights from Tom Waits’ Glitter and Doom Tour Press Conference – Be sure to watch until its end.
Fuck It. We”ll do it live! – This is a brilliant parody of the raw tape that came to light earlier in the year, in which an enraged Bill O’Reilly (then the host of Inside Edition) has a major fucking problem problem with the show’s production team! “Fucking thing sucks!” hhahahha. You suck, Bill O’Reilly! What makes this video so great is that this guy is eloquently speaking all our minds to the biggest blowhard on television.
