• Top 10 Videos of 2011: 4. “You’re So Hot”

  January 23, 2012

  Video number 4 on my 2011 list may well be the most NSFW thing I’ve ever posted, but don’t freak out – it’s not pø®n or anything. It does have a whooole lotta very graphic dialogue in it. Creatively graphic, in fact, and hilarious.

  January 4, 2012

  Lesson #1 for agenda-driven interviewers: don’t fuck with Matt Damon. If you do, it’ll probably end up on YouTube. Case in point: this video from the Save Our Schools March last July of Damon pwning a microphone-toting libertarian and her, um, substandard cameraman.

  
  

• Top 10 Videos of 2011: 8. “Terrorist on Flight 77”

  December 29, 2011

  Number 8 on this year’s big countdown is what might be called this year’s “friend-otism” entry, since it features my since-we-were-kids buddy Assaf Cohen. I promise that’s not all it has going for it, though — it’s also funny.
