Mr. TWIT's All Time Best Web-Entertainment of 2007

In anticipation of the plethora of Top Ten lists that accompany each new year, Mr. TWIT has decided, not only to blog in the 3rd person, but to present his list of All Time Best Instances of Web-Entertainment for 2007. Keep in mind that Mr. TWIT does not have cable television, and aside from Food TV, does not really miss it, so his only source of entertainment (other than having sexual relations with Mrs. TWIT every once in a while) is the Internet.

10) Smodcast



Click this link to find Kevin Smith's and pal, Scott Mosier's weekly lewd, uneducated and misinformed discussions on pop culture. The current highlight of this podcast series is Episode 15, where they show their complete ignorance and lack of respect for Hellen Keller (although the one where a Canadian guest star can't remember the name of his Prime Minister is pretty damn hilarious too!).


9)"Shoe's" by Kelly

My friend Grant turned me on to this one. Friggin Hilarious.




8) Jamie Fox completely embarrasing this really bad comic named Doug Williams.

The only thing more painful than bombing on stage, is having Jamie Fox call you on it.




7) Chad Vader, Day Shift Manager

What if Darth Vader had a younger brother named Chad, who was responsible for running the day shift at a grocery store? Hmmmm... perhaps it would look something... like this...

6) Dan Savage's Savage Lovecast

It's like "Talk Sex with Dr. Sue" except with really foul language, and a gay guy instead of Dr. Sue. Am I the only one who thinks if Sex Education was replaced by this podcast, we would have a lot more sexually responsible kids? Yeah.... probably...

5) Kanye West's "Throw Some D's" Remix

You may notice a foul language trend in all my choices so far. That's what makes the web so cool, and why cable TV sucks. Props for Kanye, who unlike other rappers who threw some D's(rims) on a car, decided that there's a whole 'nother creative way of throwing D's.




4) David O. Russell freaking out on Lily Tomlin on the set of I Y Huckabees.

Man this video makes me cringe.




David O. Russell has had a very well known reputation for being an a-hole. Celebrities like George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman, and Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan have all had thier run-ins with this guy.

The running theory on this guy is that his behaviour is a deliberate attempt to keep his sets raw and emotionally charged to get better performances from his actors. Lily Tomlin is on the record for tacitly defending his behaviour by saying:

"I'd rather have someone human and available and raw and open. Don't give me someone cold, or cut off, or someone who considers themselves dignified."


Maybe there's a small element of truth to that, but really, after watching Three Kings, I'd have to say that the results are not worth the torture.

3)Filipino Jail Inmates re-enact "Thriller"




It's been 25 years, but that Thriller album still moves people!

2)The Message at ThisJustIn.com

With the Chapelle Show cancelled, where can we go to find racially charged sketch comedy? Right here, of course! The folks at the Message may not be 100% funny 100% of the time, but they do have some great sketches.



1)Clark and Michael



I've been trying to get people hooked on this web series, but the only other person who thinks it's funny is Sara K, one of my Facebook friends. It's like the bastard step-child of the British Office and Mr. Show with Bob and David. It's too damn funny to pass up my friends!

Hindu Prayer in the Senate, featuring the Dramatic Hamster

That Thriller video! It's like Shakespeare (what with the boy playing the girl). What kind of a prison system lets that many inmates congregate and dance?!

Also enjoyed the Black Cinema Review. Who knew Ridley Scott was black?
