We have some really weird ideas so far from people who've checked out the blog. One guy said he wants to see Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama have an affair. BRILLIANT! I high-five whoever this is, even though I think Hillary would probably be the pants-wearer in the relationship if they ever ran off together. Another guy said he wants a Soulja Boy - Franchise Boys danceoff. This idea could work, but we gotta tag-team Soulja boy with somebody to make the numbers even. Paging P. Diddy! Someone else recommended a dinosaur ambulance driver. I'm scared as hell of that! T-rex's have those tiny arms that can't hold the steering wheel right, and they lack the aggressive driving skills that pterydactls (I know I spelled it wrong) have. My favorite, though, is the reader who said he's happy as long as we show somebody being punched. I think we have a winner! This is true -- doesn't matter who it is, where it's at, or how hard (even though it's funnier when it's harder), a punch always equals me laughing on my floor and trying to re-enact it with my younger brother (guess who's the victim... the answer might surprise you). Sucker punches are even more hilarious! If they don't see it coming, the fall is gonna be harder, and the laughs louder. Here's what we have mashed together based on your ideas so far:
Soulja Boy and The Franchise Boys are having a danceoff (yes, snap music is playing in the background). Soulja Boy tags in P. Diddy and he gets sucker punched by one of the Franchise's groupies that fell short in an attempted paternity suit of Diddy. He is driven to the hospital in an ambulance driven by a dinosaur, and the ambulance is cut off in traffic by Hillary Clinton speeding to erase an erotic voice message that Barack Obama has left on her machine before Bill gets home...
Good So Far, But We Need More!
Keep those weird ideas coming, no matter what they are. We're gonna post updates every week of the project, look for our youtube video previewing the movie coming soon!

KOBE DID WHAT?!?!
I DON'T SEE ANY STRINGS!
Who saw Kobe Bryant jump over the Aston Martin on youtube? I'm pretty sure I could do that! I saw that, I thought I had taken some of my uncle's special "brownies" again. Then I tried to do it myself -- my friend threw a remote control Corolla at me (yes, even toy aston Martins are expensive) and I tried to jump over it -- I landed on the back of the car, and fell backwards, hitting my head on the car on my way down. Bravo Mr. Bryant! I guess really should be getting to my local foot locker and grab me some of those, even though they do kinda make my feet look big and I'm sure they don't make the average ballplayer perform any better than Gheorge Muresean (if you don't know who he is, that just proves my point). I guess I'm a little upset that my girlfriend thinks you look way better in those shoes than I do. Anyways, check it out and lemme know what you all think. If someone wants me to try that for the movie project, I'll meet 'em halfway and jump out of a stationary soccer mom van, but I promise to make it look really dramatic!

I love these guys! (let's make a boy band!)
This week, I one Youtube video really stood out from the rest, just like that re-packaged return that you find at Best Buy hiding behind the new merchandise. It's called "Meet Soul and Son: Comedy Time Episode 1."
THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!
The video starts off with some boy, maybe 15 or 16 years old, coming home from school (assuming that most teenagers still carry books instead of narcotics and weapons in their backpacks) and walking in his front door. A few seconds later, his "granddaddy" surprises him and slaps him in the face. Later on, he does the same thing to the mailman.
WHERE TO START?!?!
The dad is wearing purple pajama pants, a black turtleneck shirt (even though the neck part seems a little worn out -- maybe he borrowed the shirt from one of his chubbier friends to sleep in?), and a red leather jacket. It's Shaft's worst nightmare! He also sports a cane with the outfit; maybe he uses it when he stumbles through bad jokes.
The son seems to be one of the few teens left in North America to still sport a CD player. I gues that's a lot easier to fit in his back pocket than an Ipod. i'll bet my next student loan payment that the music he's listening to in this scene is not any newer than 1993 -- anyone remember "Whoomp, There it is?"
The postal carrier is wearing a shirt that might be at least 2 sizes too big for him, but at least he could tuck it in and hide the bottom so it doesn't look like a man-gown. Judging by this alone, maybe he's more hip-hop than the dad and son, hmm? He's also peeling horribly from the sun, except for a casper-white line where his glasses would normally sit. I call new fashion trend!
This teen may be one of the few black teens out there that cannot dance. Let's all be thankful that "James" from Good Times came in and stopped it before the kid broke into a full-fledged running man capped off with a solo electric slide. Maybe this is what the dad was referring to when he said "getting rid of the funk and soul." You may be right, old man -- that non-rhythmic flailing made my soul want to reach out of my body and give me an indian bun, to distract myself from the pain.
However, I salute you, "Soul and Son" boys -- you are stars now, and I'm still not. It was a creative video I must admit, but I would've instead have the mailman wear a plain t-shirt that said "got your stuff" on it. It feels more fitting that the youngest person in the video should be the best dressed -- everyone knows that adult clothes always cost an arm and leg more than kid clothes. For episode 2: I propose a father-and-son trip to the zoo! That way, the son could be placed in a dance battle with the resident penguins -- I hear they tap-dance pretty well.

Internet Junkies, YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!
I LOVE YOUTUBE! it's a place where even the most talentless of us can become stars. It's human nature -- the dumbest or more pointless a video is, WE WANNA WATCH IT MORE! My personal favorite waste of time is the guy who played the Mario Bros. theme song with empty soda bottles and a remote control car (but you coulda picked an easier song to dance to -- believe me, I tried to). It's the same reason we all slow down to look at a car acident -- it's contagious; I even get tempted to stop completely (I did once) and get out and look, but instead I drive along text-messaging with one hand, holding a cheeseburger in the other, and steering with my knees. We can't help it! For some reason, most of us don't want to use the internet to get smarter, but to laugh at something ridiculous or cringe at someone's near-death experience. I can't remember the last educational resource I visited online, but I can remember 10 different costumes people put on the "dramatic look" gerbil (my favorite was the pirate outfit -- except I would've made the rodent do the Captain Morgan pose). Each week, I'm gonna post the top-rated videos of each "in case you missed it" week.
NEED YOUR HELP!
In about 2 months, our group will make our own Youtube video (why let "David Blaine street magic" hog the spotlight?). Like most college students, WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEAS! So, anyone who replies to this blog please send any suggestions you can think of. And I mean ANYTHING! We plan to mash together as many ideas as we can get from everybody, and use those to make a movie. If one person says to put a fireman in it, another one says to add a bank robbery, and another says to put cats in it, then we'll have a fireman robbing a bank with a cat driving the getaway car. I HOPE TO MAKE THIS AS RIDICULOUS AS POSSIBLE, SO SEND ME THE WEIRDEST STUFF YOU GOT!
