Wednesday Web Wonders



This weeks theme is: Funny YouTube Channels

Improv Everywhere:

This channel has videos that feature an improv group pulling off large scale pranks. Kind of like an in crowd flash mob. Two highlights are: the real life musical, in which a guy in a shopping mall starts singing about how much he loves lunch, and the Best Buy prank in which approximately 100 people go into a Best Buy shop dressed in the staff uniform of blue polo shirt and beige trousers (or khaki pants as those crazy Americans call them). The mild panic experienced by the shop staff is quite funny.

John says: There's a lot of variety on this channel and it's all pretty ballsy and funny. Gid.

Jack Vale Films

Jack likes to prank members of the public in a variety of different ways. Personal highlights for me are the peek-a-boo video, in which he plays peek-a-boo with people as they pass on an escalator, and the pooter video in which he talks to someone on his mobile phone about the farts that he's doing while standing next to an unsuspecting member of the public.

John says: The point where an old lady calls him out on his farting and he says it's his new shoes is genius. Gid.

5 Second Films

The 5 second films people produce a new 5 second film every day, and it just has to be said that some of the movies they produce are absolute genius.

John says: There's not much more I can say about them, you have to go and check them out, in fact stop what you're doing right now and go check them out. Proper gid.

Jenna Marbles

Jenna's a bit of a strange one. I think she might be some kind of podium dancer or something but I'm not sure if that's just part of the act. She's obviously a smart person and she's very funny. She releases a new video every week.

John says: If you like lots of make up, bleached blonde hair, a potty mouth and a wicked sense of humour, Jenna's your girl. Gid.
