This is an amazing clip that takes the classic monty python song from the Quest for the Holy Grail and puts it to classic Star Trek clips.

Enjoy!

This guy is apparently “dropping the kids off at the pool”, which is included in a little viral video that Charmin is using to promote it’s co-creative web site AlittleBitRude.co.uk.

The main site A little bit rude is created by Charmin in the UK that asks people to contribute what they use as a euphemism for, shall we say, Poop, touching cotton, or even Releasing the chocolate hostages, squeezing one out, or the wonderful cockney ryme Richard the Third (rhymes with turd).

I think I’ll give this an A+ for Viral because it is surprising enough that a decent sized company would put its name to this, or produce the video which is also pretty funny. Interestingly the video actually uses some visual euphemisms, maybe their visual puns, not sure, pretty funny. In fact this is only funny because it’s being released by a toilet paper company, I don’t think you would crack a smile if you saw it on youtube.

The other thing to note is “viral” has no boundaries, so something that might be “targeted” for the British public that generally enjoy a good poop joke, might not go down so well in the US.

I love Lewis Black and this is classic, where he tell CNN to remove the news ticker. “There are people talking here, this is who’s talking, why do we need these extra words”

That’s right Lewis, why.

This is such a great clip of Steven Colbert totally losing it while trying to report on the scandel that Prince Charles was allededly involved with last year. Classic Colbert.

A very good “episode 1″ of a story about Darth Vaders younger brother, Chad Vader, day shift supervisor at the local super market. Good stuff.

I’m trying to think of a term for semi-professional bits like this, there not consumer generated, but their not mainstream either? I think this will gain quite a following.

YouTube, the Mcdonalds of the video sharing world is apparently serving more that 100 Million videos a day, that is 60% of all videos watched online.

As Peter Cashmore at Mashable has pointed out and important thing to keep an eye on here is myspace, for they have recently created their own video sharing service which it now promoting to the myspace community. This is important because myspace was a huge catalyst in YouTubes growth.

That being said, the market itself is still in a rapid growth phase, and much of the world is still only just discovering youtube.

Enjoy,

You can see an amazing parody that was done on the family guy here (the youtube version has been taken down for copyright violations).

3 million people can’t be wrong
