A half hour of Colbert getting at George Bush and others at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

Part 1:

Part 2:

I guess this is what sensitivity training looked like in the 50s..

I'll never love Kobe but I gotta respect his game.

Wow. [Insert "loose balls" joke here]

John Mclaughlin and crew bring the jazz fusion freakout. Billy Cobham is killing the drums on this one.

No video in this post but some youtuber related news:

A well-known blogger, who has contributed some of Youtube's most popular clips, has had it up to here with their overzealous censorship and has now vowed to destroy them by reporting all of their most popular files for copyright violation:

Screw YouTube

...I do have one thing left to do: Ruin YouTube. Since it is so easy to get someone kicked from YouTube, I am going to launch an assault on the service. I am going to start with the most popular uploaders, and report every possibly copyright infringing video in their account. I won’t be breaking any rules, just robbing YouTube users of content they would have probably lost in the end anyway. I’d rather someone else become the video sharing site of choice (and no, not Google; they wouldn’t be any better), something those of us using video on the web can rely on and trust to stick to the letter of the law, not to the fears of lawyers.

Every day, I will destroy at least one account. I will only target those with copyright infringing content. When I am done, the only popular videos on YouTube will be those with zero commercial value. We will see how well the service does without the Daily Show and South Park entire episodes that are its real bread and butter.

Any objections?

Tim Dog on the mic: comedy in its purest form. Especially when KRS is there to play his straight man.

An 80's hip-hop classic straight from Video Music Box, complete with Ralph Mcdaniels intro! From that brief period in hip-hop history when havoing a bodyguard was considered something to brag about. Ahh, innocence lost...

Note Richie Rich destroying the turntables at the end, as MC Serch exhorts him to take his clothes off and Gilbert Gottfried nods approvingly from his throne. I guess we should've known at this point, that the 90s would take hip-hop to some strange places.

Apologies in advance. Sometimes you just have to post the cute little girl singing a song. It is a force of nature.

The first video and single from Nelly Furtado's upcoming album.. co-starring a freakishly muscular Timbaland, and Justin "I'm that punk who sold Janet out" Timberlake. Not bad, I guess.. I'm more of an Esthero man myself.

I guess the Big Pimpin video really had a lasting impact over there.

It turns out I am physically incapable of watching Bush for this long, but if you think you can handle 7 minutes of his constipated fake smiling, check out ABC's raw footage of President Bush reacting to Colbert's speech last week (the last, pre-recorded part of the speech).

Juelz Santana's new video "Clockwork" which seems to be begging for a Flavor Flav cameo.

(via cake and ice cream)

A really weird short film starring David Cross as a piece of doodoo that Michel Gondry first tries to flush, then adopts as a son.

Meshell sits down with Arsenio and brings her Les Paul Gibson bass, to demonstrate the bassline for Prince's "Let's Work" among other funkisms.

Oscar De La Hoya knocks out Mayorga in the 6th round.. so much for all that yapping, Ricardo. The commentators sound so desperate at the end for something exciting to talk about in boxing.. y'all need to just give it up and roll with the MMA.

Great stuff here, big Frank taking on the Brain Police:

My two favorite people to post here, brought together in one clip. Turns out Zappa played a pivotal role in Arsenio's career:

Interview with Arsenio, plus performance of "100 Miles and Runnin":

Here's Lauryn Hill last week in New Orleans, performing with a full band at a surprise "secret" show for the re-opening of N.O.'s W Hotel:

UK emcees battling for 100 Pounds:

Al Gore speaking from the Oval Office, after winning the 2000 Election and getting re-elected in 2004:

A rare clip straight from Video Music Box, DJ Mugg's band before he started Cypress Hill. Complete with Ralph Mcdaniels' intro. "Making money for a living cuz this is what we do"

A new video with Cee-Lo rocking the chorus, that seems to be getting a ton of hits off the success of Gnarls Barkley:

Whoops:

T.I.'s new video directed by Chris Robinson:

With Stanley Clarke rocking the bass and the afro:

Anybody know a year for this?

Vintage 80's R&B, via Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.. how many of y'all remember this?

Great clip of possibly my favorite blues man.

Seriously, Minnie, Sammy, Richard and a lion attack, all in the same clip.. you cannot possibly pack more cool stuff into one clip:

Roger Troutman and the crew, getting that mid 80's post-Prince funk on.

A short doc about the technique made famous by Bruce Lee:

via cocaine blunts, who are totally jocking my style with that new blog, but i'm not mad.

A classic Mr. Show sketch:

remind me to look for that "Rap: The Musical" thing they did...

Maybe we can get Mr. T to bust into MTV's "Yo Momma" show like this, and then whoop Wilmer Valderrama's ass for good measure? I would pay one thousand dollars cash monnnnny to see that.

A video from the rarrrre (RAER!) early Organized Noise project fronted by Sleepy Brown (what ever happened to his solo album??)

Fort Minor's "Where'd You Go" video, featuring interviews with families of US troops currently in Iraq, and filmed in the homes of those families.

Uhh.. yeah. Recorded at last year's Burning Man:

Jon Stewart breaks down Bush's latest appearance:

Jason Terry and Michael Finley dive for a loose ball, and then Jason Terry punches Michael Finley in the (apologies in advance) loose balls.

Britney Spears almost drops her baby Sean Preston, while trying to make her way past the media. Can't say I really care about this but I know people are looking for it:

A collection of clips from various sources, in honor of Malcolm's birthday last Friday:

Hate to be the hater, but I think I liked Nelly Furtado better when she was an Esthero wannabe, instead of a Fergie wannabe. Actually watching this SNL performance of "Promiscuous" reminds of the horrible rap skit on Prince's "Love 2 the 9s."

Excellence as usual from Robert Smigel, and his "Fun With Real Audio" segment on SNL:

Rare footage of Marvin performing live in the 1973 concert film Save the Children (directed by Stan Lathan, who later became father of Sanaa and director of Beat Street)

I have nothing to say about this:

The world has gotten entirely too geeky:

Whoooo yeah.. this takes me back. One of my favorite George Clinton solo albums (R&B Skeletons in the Closet).. I believe Vanessa Williams was one of the backup singers on this?

The Kevin Spacey angle is enough to hook me.. and that last scene with the bullet is kinda dope. This better be real good though, to make up for Bryan Singer abandoning the X Men franchise.

Some folks in Rainier Oregon thought it would be cool to watch the local nuclear facility cooling tower get demolished. And they were right, it is pretty cool to watch.. although I'd be feelnig paranoid about hanging out in front an exploding nuclear plant. Maybe these guys will also post some footage after they have babies that glow in the dark..

One of Brazilian music's all-time greats performing one of his oldest songs:

The first video ever made by the Geto Boys, two years before they blew up with "Mind Playin Tricks on Me." This track was on their "Grip It On That Other Level" album.

A weirder-than-average Merrie Melodies cartoon, highlighted by Bugs Bunny impersonating Hitler.

Pretty much a paint by numbers G-Unitarian groove, I suppose, but still kinda funky. Anybody know who produced this one?

Juvenile joining forces with Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Skip, and (my new favorite emcee name) Wacko.

That rarest video event of all, a new visual offering from Pearl Jam:

Kanye West's remix of "Drive Slow", with T.I. joining his original partners Paul Wall and GLC.. Your standard dose of Kanye and T.I. standing around in the dark while Paul Wall and GLC drive around Las Vegas:

A series of cartoons that used to run in between the Saturday morning kids' fare on ABC, featuring Luther Vandross as a helpful dude named Zack, dishing some soulful career advice:

The Name Game:

Jack & Jill:

Prince doing Lolita and Satisfied on American Idol. Somebody told me this was gonna happen last night, but I skipped out on it:

A nice, kinda bittersweet clip cuz it's from that brief period when Michael was fully grown but not yet shapeshifting:

Jimi talks with Dick then performs Hear My Train A Comin. Also subtitled in Portuguese, if that is helpful to anyone.. cool segment either way, Jimi has such a gentle energy to him, emanates such humility and serenity..

(can anyone explain the "you wanna leave a call" thing? I am not hip to Cavett's hip talk)

Eddie hamming it up for the Toyota Celica.. I hope he got a lot of money for this:
