Citizen Kane on YouTube

[Posted by Jeff]

So my videos are routineley panned by the critics over at YouTube. I try not to let it get to me, but they can be pretty harsh sometimes. One guy accused me of living in my parents' basement. Another said I looked like what would happen if a gorilla had sex with Sarah Jessica Parker. According to them, my videos have all been "pwnd" by either SNL, Dane Cook, or lonelygirl15(before she sold out).

To put everything into perspective, I searched around for some YouTube videos by some other people, to see what their comments were like. To my surprise, I found out that the film classic Citizen Kane was posted in its entirety, by YouTube user orsunwelllz12.

It has since been removed for copyright violation, but luckily I was crafty enough to take a screenshot. Here you can see a small sample of what YouTube critics had to say about Citizen Kane:



Not too bad, but not great either. It just goes to show you that even the greats like Orson Wells get trashed sometimes. If I want to become a hot internet celebrity just like lonelygirl15, then I'm just going to have to put my head down and tough it out and keep on trying. I'm going to keep the dream alive! Come on, gang!

April Fools Gag Movie

This is Jeff. I made another video blog. I posted it on Youtube earlier in the week, but I've been too lazy to update the blog/website.

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htBfKrABLkc

I was pretty happy with it, but it's getting slaughtered in the press! I'm getting so many negative reviews! Here, let me quote from the people who commented on my youtube page(spoilers!!!):

"are you retarded? you ordered 50 pizzas for him as a practical joke....and put it on YOUR OWN CREDIT CARD?? are you brain dead? the joke is on you dummy. "

"cool, but it would be way more interesting if you would record when he got his pizzas. "

"wtf??? y didnt we see it? thats a fricken waste of time"

"duh u just gave out your credit card number on the internet...ur reallll smart"

Yikes. I guess it's back to the drawing board!
