Sarah Silverman on why Santa should give Jew girls toys

Silverman is one of my favourite comedians. Her video with Matt Damon remains a classic.

Charlie Brooker on how to make a news clip. It is spot on.

Just watch it – first played during the Super Bowl.

I love this ad, especially the demon sheep that appears at 2:20 through. A classic attack ad. This one is not aimed at a Democrat, but at a Republican from another Republican as they are both seeking the GOP nomination for a California seat in the Senate.

Very funny. Hat Tip: Stuff

West Wing fans will recall Kirstin Chenoweth as the tiny feisty press secretary whose romance with Leo is strongly hinted at. Well she can sing beautifully also.

Am using the holiday period to go through my inbox of things sent to me in the last four months which I wanted to check out but did not have time at the time. Above is one of them – the winner of Ukraine’s got talent.

A great classic.

And a more modern song.

Enjoy.

First we have Tony Ryall from last week’s General Debate on Labour’s seven stages of grieving.

And then by popular demand an embedded version of Gerry Brownlee yesterday.

Oh this is quite adorable. The police officer shows remarkable patience as the cat climbs up!

I saw this on TV3 last night. The BBC explains how a couple of British thugs assaulted a guy who was out on a stag party dressed in women’s clothing. It turned out the guy, and his friend, were both trained cage fighters and they beat the crap out of their assailants who limped off.

Around 125,000 have watched on You Tube the clip of John Key on David Letterman.

That’s a huge amount. As a comparison Barack Obama earlier in the week has had around 335,000 views. And that is for the President of the United States – a country with around 80 times our population.

Bill Clinton got 12,000 views in the same week, and most Top Tens seem to get around 10,000 views.

Around 1,400 people have commented on the video also.

Weddings are meant to be celebrations and this one definitely was. Very cool. The video has been viewed 6.7 million times.

This is an actual advertisement, not a parody. I’m sorry but who came up with the line “the bells of socio-economic freedom”. It’s hilarious.

Lindsay Mitchell blogs:

Don’t miss this. On Friday nights we always watch Homai Te Pakipaki on Maori Television. Last Friday I was floored by this kid. I wrote to Maori TV suggesting they get him up on YouTube – who needs Susan Boyle – and just got a reply saying done, already. I’ve just watched it again and it had the same powerful effect. Made me cry.

He is great – well worth a watch.

Stuff tells how and why TVNZ is trying to supress it. Silly people.

They may have taken it off You Tube, but Whale has put it on another site.

A friend of mine on Sunrise talking about how to cope with infants that won’t go to sleep.

Less than a minute, and worth watching.

Already viewed more than 250,000 times. Pretty good.

This advertisement featuring Keira Knightley has been banned in the UK as it is “too violent”. Madness they allow all sorts of violence in the TV shows, but won’t allow an ad that shows domestic violence.

It is a good ad – shows the brutality. And the end scene make me think of a certain recent case in NZ!

Adam Smith has a recording she made in the 1990s – was pretty damn good back then also.

The main video of her on You Tube now has 30 million views – in just a few days. Paul Potts video has 46 million views, but that was over a year.Also there are many videos on You Tube of her – they total 66 million views to date.

Her personal story couldn’t be better if it was scripted for a movie. The youngest of nine siblings, bullied at school due to he rlearnign difficulties, has been uemployed most of her life, cared for her mother until she died aged 91 in 2007, never had any birthday parties as was too busy caring for her mother, and her performance in BGT was her first time singing since her mother died.

Just wait until she appears on Oprah. Within a week she will be worth $50 million at least. And Simon Cowell will of course get his share!

The video does not allow embedding, but follow the link to watch and listen to Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent. She looks like she’ll be awful, but just wait and see.

Stuff reports:

Police in Maine, USA, say seven teens and young adults have been arrested after a video was posted on YouTube that showed them setting off Molotov cocktails inside a vacated building and then rolled credits naming those involved. …

Police say the video, which has since been taken off the video-sharing website, showed the faces of the suspects as well as text naming those pictured. Each is charged with arson and burglary.

They should get extra jail time just for the stupidity.

Many will have seen John Key “dancing” at the Big Gay Out festival. It’s not quite as bad as the infamous Mallard and Hodgson dance routines, but not that far behind.

Someone captured a few seconds on You Tube. It’s from a wee way back, but still enough to have a good laugh at.

Oh dear. Watch this commentator as she talks about how Barack and Michelle Obama are such an affectionate couple as they do a lot of touching, kissing and even fisting!!

Boing Boing points out

Our well-lubed commenters are probably correct in guessing that the Fox analyst [snort] means “making happy-fun terrorist fist-jabs in the air” when she says “fisting.” This just makes it funnier.
