YouTube Matters: Be Loyal to the one You Love

Above is a rare glimpse into the entertainment of my childhood.

Let's examine the flaws of this video.

First off, is that a boner joke at 0:14?

Second there is a problem with this lyric, "Their kisses may be sweet, but it's not right to cheat," How would a committed lover know the sweetness of the kisses of any other then their betrothed?

Third, "When the honey drips, from candy-coated lips" is far too sexually charged for a kids' show. Wait, so is the topic of adultery.

Fourth, can someone please explain to me how bees are an example for monogamous relationships?

Fifth, there is something extremely creepy about the voice over at 1:49

What other flaws am I missing? Discuss.

YouTube Matters: DJ Ruth Flowers

Proving once again that age is just a number, DJ Ruth Flowers rocks the Paris nightclub scene with fierce credibility. You may think this is a gimmick but here are the keys to street cred: a keen sense of cool and authenticity. Case in point, the over-eyeglasses sunglasses...indoors. It's like she says, "It's a little bit glammy. It's a little bit over the top. But it fits the bill, I think." She's lagit. - Meet Ruth Flowers. She's an *@!*ing great DJ.

YouTube Matters: I'm on a Sleigh

I'm always skeptical about parodies of parodies but these guys do it right. "Take a good hard look at the Merry Christmas sleigh!"

YouTube Matters: My White Friends

You're so freaking awesome!

YouTube Matters: Best Wedding Entrance Ever

This video almost has me sold on getting married. Ladies, what is the likelihood that I can find a bride who would be willing to do this for me?

YouTube Matters: Child as art

At 1:37 this transcended cute and funny and became art.

Satire Matters: Sara Benincasa's Sarah Palin #3

FAIL. The entire Web ad team at the McCain campaign needs to be fired.

YouTube Matters: Black vs. Black

Racial humor is one of the cornerstones of my funny. The above clip explains why exploiting racial stereotypes for comedic affect is so effective. (Did he use affect and effect correctly in that last sentence? - If you asked yourself that question read this other bastion of race based comic genius.)

Satire Matters: Rachel Maddow and Sara Benincasa's Sarah Palin

My number one crush at the moment is on Rhodes Scholar and hottie Rachel Maddow who is only out of my league because she's a lesbian. My second biggest crush right now is on Sara Benincasa who portrays Sarah Palin in a series of leaked vlogs from the McCain/Palin campaign. What really makes the volgs work is the work of Diana Saez whose Dina Heath-Barr apparently loves Rachel as much as I do. The sad truth is that Dina Heath-Barr has a better shot at Rachel than I do. Tear.

Satire Matters: Sara Benincasa's Sarah Palin

While the world has been clamoring for SNL to bring back Tina Fey to do Sarah Palin, I'm throwing Sara Benincasa's name into the ring. Sara Benincasa's Sarah Palin is likable, believable, and completely insane. With her comic partner Diana Saez as Dina Heath-Barr, Palin's cousin, personal stylist,and campaign manager, Benincasa lampoons the ridiculous vice presidential run of Governor Sarah Palin with an inspired improvisational style.

I was tempted to include all of the Palin Vlogs, but just visit Benincasa's YouTube page. For even more Benincasa comedy visit her blog Que Sera Sara - Whatever will be, will be Sara B.
