The 5 Greatest Viral Videos of 2008



5. SNL Palin Couric Interview Many of you have seen the various Sarah Palin skits run by SNL during the 2008 Presidential Debates. The entire series was hilarious. This one link is just a sample to the phenomenal acting done by Tina Fey. Sarah Palin herself even admitted to watching with no-volume and thought that the interpretation was spot on! Did this interview parody remind you of another viral video from 2007.


4. Bert and Ernie try their hand at Gangster Rap. This video remix does not have any harsh or wanton content, but like Cleanflix videos, the fundamental feeling that accompanies the content does remain. (You might enjoy it anyway).

3.5 When Tom Cruise became a Scientologist, I realized that he was, in fact, just an actor and not, as I had imagined him, a top-secret American CIA Agent. Scientology's pedagogy is acclaimed by it's members to be natural and intuitive. Those who are presented with these principles should feel the truth of the knowledge they are receiving. I listen to this testimonial given by Mr. Cruise and feel grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost. (John 14:26)

3. Jesus is a friend of mine. I may have already shared this viral with some of you when it was first brought to my attention last year . . . but it is totally worth watching again.


2. If you have never sat through an entire presidential speech, this could be the first and only time you'll ever want to: YES WE CAN - Music Video Barack Obama (feat. Will.i.am)


1. In this surprise, #1 viral video, we are taking Rickrolling to a completely new level.


Which video was your #1 favorite?

    These were all fun to see! I was most impressed with the Sarah Palin interview; but Obama's music video was a close second; Jesus is My Friend, wow, that was just weird. They all looked so serious! And as for Tom Cruise, well my comments are identical to those of the first reviewer!!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
