Check out this video of the beach scene (Similar to the one from Saving Private Ryan) created by just a couple guys and a video camera. Other than some shots of the guys running, everything else was CGI. This is amazing!
-Oh and by the way - DO NOT go see the movie Juno. It sucks ass and is depressing and weird. Unlike this clip, it is NOT awesome.
Ok ladies…time to bring out the big guns. Here is the bottom-line ultimate piece of internet cinematography ever created. If you don’t think this is best video you’ve ever seen, you don’t enjoy internet video, or you lost your sense of humor a long time ago.
I bring to you….. COMPUTER MAN.
The legend goes that some poor cubicle dwelling bottom feeder created this video years ago to try and circumvent cube-rot (the cubicle workers disease where they slowly die from boredom and lack of sunlight). This guy eventually moved up the ranks and became a high-level manager at a large company. One of his many employees somehow found out about this video, and published it across the vast plains of the internet, quickly ruining this guys career in one fell swoop.
There are a few highlights of the video I need to point out:
*Notice he is wearing a milk-man outfit, and pushing a cart full of random computer parts, as if delivering computers to the tech-hungry employees.
*The video dates itself from the beginning with the computer man holding up an original boxed copy of After Dark, the windows 3.0 screensaver package.
*Notice at 00:10 when CM is throwing out floppy disks to the class, the middle aged white guy in the white shirt/black tie doesn’t get one. Check his face closely for the crushing look of defeat and shame.
*At 00:14 pay attention to the red-haired Danny Bonnaduce look-alike ripping his red clown-curls out at the frustration caused by poorly written software.
*At 00:16 when the whole crew is dancing in the hallway, pay close attention to the white-guy-cant-dance arm-swing-and-spin move.
*Notice at 00:18 CM is leading the employees through the hallway playing a computer keyboard like the flute or whatever from the pied piper.
*Notice at 00:21 when they are dancing back to the left, the last guy in the row is an indian guy wearing red pants. He looks just like Samir who went in on the money scam with Peter & Michael Bolton in Office Space.
*Pay close attention at 00:27 when the guy is working hard on his computer, and computer man suddenly pops up on the screen. Its really funny because he’s so surprised.
*The ridiculous monkey dance at 00:38 is one of my favorite parts.
Ok kids…it’s time to take the gloves off. I stayed out of this fight long enough. I’ve searched the depths of the internet to find this gem. This is possibly the only video to be able to compete with OVERDRIFT.
Angela wanted to get in on the competition, here is her email to me today, and a Damn good video too, I might add:

Hey there boys,
I poked through your videos, and at the moment, the one interviewing the immortal kid is the best, hands down.
However, to possibly step this up a notch, why not try for videos that are not just staged and played out? go for real- the interviews with the chef from hell, (the yoga one is pretty funny, I’ll give you that, but the way that guy believed his own crap still tops it) after all, there is nothing more entertaining than people who are NOT trying to be entertaining. If your gong to laugh at fools, its much more fun when they are doing it naturally, no?
Here is my contribution to your game…you may have seen it, but I still think it is one of the best I have ever seen. (and reading yours posts on here, I imagine that if you had seen it, you would already have it on here somewhere.
Extra-Less Films - Saving Private Ryan?
