9 Year Old is Whippin' It




Above is a music video from KnowYourMeme named, "Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith.  The artist of the music video is only 9 years old, and is also Will Smith's daughter.  With an easy way into the music industry because of her father, Willow's new song is number four on the top ten chart on iTunes.com. 

Even though she credited and taken seriously on iTunes, it's a little different elsewhere on the web.  All over there are parodies of the song, some are funny and others are pretty lame.  The parodies range from Sesame Street to bored people on their web cams to the Beyonce Single Ladies dance.  The main focus point in most of the parodies is on the lyric, "I whip my hair back and forth."  It's extremely repetitive in the music video, but how much more could you really expect from a 9 year old in the music business? 

Here are some parodies of Willow Smith's song:

You Better Say 'Yes' to Panda









^^^
English Translation:

Employee 1: Hey, do you want some?
Employee 2: No thanks.
Music
Announcer: You can’t say no to panda.

On Know Your Meme there is a video called "Never Say No to Panda."  It sounded pretty strange so I read a little bit about it then watched the video.  It is a viral video, but a commercial for the product Panda Cheese.  There are three different versions of the Panda Cheese commercials; office, hospital, and grociery store.  The one I have posted above is obviously the office version.  All three of them are extremely funny but the office version is definitely the best. 

What actually happens in the commercials is a small scenario where a person will decline Panda cheese that is offered to them.  Then all of a sudden a cute panda bear apperars in the room and will either destroy things that belong to the person or hurt them.  It's a little outrageous but extremely funny.  The actual commercials were created by Advantage Marketing and Advertising for the Arab Dairy Company in Egypt.  The commercials were even nominated for the 2010 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival and won the Silver Lion Award.

YouTube Druggie?



It's pretty well-known that a large amount of people spend way too much time watching YouTube videos.  I think we all can admit to either sometimes or all the time that we watch too much YouTube.  Whether it's I'm an Orange! or Freddy the fast talking teen, it can't be all too good for our brain cells. 

One individual, Josh Sundquist, decided to make an interactive quiz video on YouTube.  The results you get will either tell you that you watch way too much YouTube, or that you're doing okay.  To be more detailed, there are 5 categories you can score into. 
                                  1.  Healthy Human Being
                                  2.  Recreational User
                                  3.  YouTube Tweaker
                                  4.  Certified Addict
                                  5.  Full Blown YouTube Junky
I took the quiz and scored as a recreational user, hopefully I will never end up as a Full Blown YouTube Junky.  There are only 10 questions in the quiz and the actual video is only about a minute long.  How ironic though, a YouTube video that tells you if you watch too much YouTube or not.

Forever Alone

On Know Your Meme I found a link to a news topic called "Forever Alone."  The picture caught my attention because the drawings and pictures look so ridiculous you cant help but laugh and look at all of them.

Forever Alone is a comic that's popular for it's crude humor and making fun of people for being alone or being losers.  It's not really known where Forever Alone originated but it's mostly seen on sites like, Tumblr and Fuck Yeah Forever Alone!.  Forever Alone is a pretty new yet popular activity on the web right now. It's believed to have started in April 2010.  Below are a bunch of funny Forever Alones I found on FuckYeahForever!.com.

After researching more about the fad Forever Alone I have the impression that it's very similar to the idea of the lolcats.  Anybody can make them in their own creative way.  Lolcats and Forever Alone have very different humors but all around it's the same concept.

"The Office" Gets Scary on 3rd Floor (Tubefilter)




Above is a sneak peak of NBC.com's new internet series, "The 3rd Floor."  The 3rd Floor will have the same direction of humor as in NBC's successful television series, "The Office," but they are filled with horror.  The show will premier on October 21st, just in time for Halloween.  I have just recently started watching The Office and it's one of my new favorites.  I love all the characters and the humor in the series, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the "horror version" of The Office will be like.

B.J. Novak, who is a character as Ryan Howard in The Office, is the creator of The 3rd Floor.  Mindy Kaling, who also characters in The Office as Kelly Kapoor, stars in and is the director of the new series.  Other familiar characters who rolled in The Office such as Erin, Meredith, and Kevin will also be part of the The 3rd Floor.  As I stated before, Mindy Kaling who will be starring in the 3rd Floor, made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last Tuesday.  She talked about how the new series will be absolutely entertaining, especially to those who are familiar with The Office.
