Great-Smelling Commercials

James Ruben, Horace Mann School, NY| 12:06 am, July 14, 2010 | Music/Video , ,


Have you seen the awesome and hilarious new Old Spice commercials? If you haven’t, I have embedded one below.  Isaiah Mustafa — a.k.a. the Old Spice guy-stars in these crazy and non-sensical commercials that, for some reason, make me want to buy Old Spice products even though I have absolutely no idea what is going on in the commercials. Believe it or not, the commercial isn’t even the best of Isaiah Mustafa’s Old Spice videos. On Old Spice’s YouTube channel, Isaiah Mustafa, playing the Old Spice guy, answers questions or comments on articles either found online (presumably by Old Spice workers somewhere) or responds to either twitter messages or YouTube comments. Every single one of the responses, and there are probably close to one hundred of them by now, are absolutely hilarious. Yes, they are still pretty non-sensical and some make me wonder what the heck I just heard meant, but each and every response is worth watching. True comedic genius. I have embedded one of the responses below. I am proud to say that I am an owner of Old Spice products. I hope the Old Spice guy will see this article and make a response to it. Keep smelling good readers.

A World Cup Surprise on YouTube

James Ruben, Horace Mann School, NY| 4:11 pm, July 9, 2010 | Music/Video , ,

If you have watched the World Cup on TV or even saw clips of it or even stay current on the news, you have probably heard about the Vuvuzelas. YouTube always has had a way with pranks. Some time in the last few weeks, the world’s largest video portal activated a new button on some videos that looks like a tiny soccer ball. Clicking it will activate an endless, incredibly annoying sound that sounds vaguely like a swarm of insects. So, if you want to have some nice Vuvuzela sounds while you watch your YouTube videos, go ahead and hit the soccer ball button. If you aren’t a fan of incredibly annoying sounds then just watch your videos and you normally would. Be sure to check out GadgetHigh’s YouTube channel for the latest GadgetHigh videos and unboxings.

We Have To Go Back

James Ruben, Horace Mann School, NY| 11:45 am, May 23, 2010 | Music/Video , ,

Tonight marks the series finale of one of my favorite shows of all time, LOST. I, like many of you out there, have been an avid LOST fan for many years. I have seen every episode and have listened to read countless theories about the show. Personally, I believe the only logical ending is destruction. Death to all of the characters we have grown to love, and hate, over the past few years. All theories aside, I have added below a fantastic song, entitled “I’ll Never Be Lost Again,” written by Injustice League as a tribute to LOST. This R&B/hip-hop song was so good I even downloaded it. Take a listen and watch the great video they put together to compliment the song. A free download of the song is available at their website.

New York City and The World Destroyed by Evil Forces From Old Video Games

James Ruben, Horace Mann School, NY| 9:36 am, April 8, 2010 | Games, Music/Video


This video is incredible. DocteurPipi uploaded this video on YouTube. Watch as evil 8-bit characters form games released decades ago, including Pacman, Donkey Kong, space invaders, and pong paddles, destroy New York City by pixilating everything. Truly awesome. I just hope this isn’t 2012 will look.
