"Thinking About You" from worst to best

So, here's a Justin Bieber ft. Jaden Smith cover of Frank Ocean's "Thinking About You":



This is an American tragedy.

Even this Angie Davis character gets it better than these two teen heartthrobs (is Jaden a heartthrob yet? Has the Smith family forced him upon our innocent tweens enough for that to happen?):




And these sweet harmonies from Christian, Tim, Anton & Harry:




How about these guys called Twilite acoustically bringing their game:




Or even this way too attractive Gabe Bondoc and his ukulele:




But nothing beats the original:

Things read out loud are instantly funnier

For your enjoyment, here's the fifth installment of my favorite thing to come out of the Twilight phenomenon: Alex Reads Twilight.

British accents help, don't they? Also, the fact that he gets down to the heart of awful so concisely.

In case you want to watch it from the beginning (you know you do), here's part 1.

25 Days of Christmas Music: A Glummy Christmas

As I am writing this, I'm punchy from late night studying and the decision to plan out the last ten 25 Days of Christmas Music posts all at once because I don't want them to progressively get worse. I mean, Christmas should be the best, right? Anyway, I got 9 of them planned out, but for whatever reason I still didn't have one for the 21st, and I couldn't think of another Christmas song that I didn't hate. And then the Christmas miracle of a sidebar video option came up: "A Glummy Christmas." This is either the funniest thing I have ever seen, or the lamest, but I'm laughing hysterically. It's making fun of all the Christmas songs I hate (ones I've sung too many times/those involving claymation-based Christmas characters/drummers) all sung by one grim puppet.

Just watch it. And then tell me whether this is funny or not because I'm beyond repair at this point. I've watched it 5 times in a row, and it's not getting less hilarious.


Although I would still want to hear "Frosty the Snowman" with Michael McDonald. Am I right?

Just because I talk with an accent doesn't mean I think with an accent

So I was searching YouTube for some scenes from A Walk in the Clouds* when I happened upon this:



The combination of someone piecing together the most dramatic (cheesiest?) bits of the film to one of my all-time favorite Mariah Carey ballads** is just brilliant. I can't decide if I want to puke or just love it. Needless to say, I did not continue my search. This video encapsulates everything you could ever hope to glean from A Walk in the Clouds.


*Also known as the Great Film of the 90s.
**Remember when she was awesome?

I can't believe how funny I find this

Remember that one time...

While watching the NBA finals this week, I tried to explain to a roommate the greatest thing the Portland Trail Blazers were ever involved in. Now I can just show her:



That's been stuck in my head since 1992. Thanks Dan Reed, U-Krew, and Z-100!

Good YouTubes:

On occasion I find a YouTube video that doesn't make me want to slit my wrists. This time a found a sweet fan video for How I Met Your Mother featuring the interesting match up of Barney and Robin (and especially one of my favorite episodes "Zip Zip Zip"). Considering this weeks episode where we not only got a new Robin Sparkles music video, but also a fantastic hook-up, this a very timely video. It's short, sweet, and lets us hear some awesome Barney lines.



Also, you should watch this show if you aren't already. It's hilarious.
