Hey, I Take Issue With This News Report!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:03:41 -0800

The masters of satire over at The Onion have this faux news story about a YouTube challenge to its users: Make a video worth watching. The requirement? That it be somewhat watchable, provide a shred of enjoyment for someone other than the people who made the video, that the person who shoots the video have a reason for doing so other than, "I own a camera," and that the person shoots it while sober. Man, they act as if this, this or this never happened! I rest my case.

The Office, "Niagara": Best Lines of the Night, Plus Video!

BuzzSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:17:58 -0700

OK, I've discreetly wiped the tears from my eyes post-wedding and have to report that I was pleasantly surprised - after all the hype, The Office managed to pull off unconventional and totally touching nuptials for Jim and Pam.

The video sneak peek didn't give away the wedding surprises - or the moments of hilariousness that arose. I've put together my favorite lines of the episode here, so check them out - and for another Office water cooler, join The Office group in the community!

To see the best lines of this week, just read more.

"A three ounce fetus is calling the shots! That's so badass." - Dwight
Dwight is entranced by Pam's pregnancy, but he and the rest of the office are not exactly sympathetic. That is, until Dwight's peeled egg makes Pam barf, then Andy barf, then a full-on chain reaction barf ensues, reminiscent of the notorious scene in Stand By Me.
"Some of us have to be our own grandmother." - Angela
Angela's uptightness kills me in this episode - from her being offended by Pam's pregnancy to honking incessantly at Kevin in the office parking lot. Hilarious.
"A lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl I worked with, but I think even then I knew, I was waiting for my wife." - Jim
Obviously this line isn't funny, but it was possibly my favorite one in the whole episode. It's such a sweet, genuinely Jim thing for him to say at the rehearsal dinner and is one of those moments at any crazy wedding where you remember why you're there. Oh and it's the line that's uttered right before Jim accidentally slips that Pam is pregnant and everything comes crashing down.
"I was dancing and I did a split and I landed on my car keys in my pocket." - Andy
Andy's accident actually sets off many hilarious lines, such as "He is in my room icing his balls," Jim's "No! Let's talk for a long time," and "Andy, did I dream that you were crying through the night?"
"What else you got?!" - Erin
Meek receptionist Erin rarely gets a funny line, but her screaming at Andy to show off another dance move after he was so obviously injured is so funny and timed perfectly.
"I bought those boat tickets the day I saw that YouTube video." - Jim
Pretty sure my jaw dropped when "Forever" from the JK Wedding Entrance dance came on. It's just the kind of cheesy disaster that would befall Jim and Pam, but they've already secretly gotten married, so instead of horror, it's joy on their faces watching their co-workers and family groove down the aisle. The fact that they cut in footage from the ceremony at sea? Perfect.

Need to see that wedding dance again? Say no more!

Want even more? Check out Pam's video diary from the big day (starring Jim in his underwear!):

So, everyone's favorite colleague couple is now married, and I was not disappointed by the wedding episode at all. What did you think? Was it a fitting event for Jim and Pam?

YouTube Adds Movie Trailer Section to Site

GeekSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 01:35:34 -0700

It wasn't that long ago when we found out that YouTube started offering a nice selection of TV shows on its website, and now they have just launched a directory for movie trailers. I know it's fairly easy to find movie trailers online nowadays, but what I like about YouTube's format is the way they are organized. Cut right to the chase with specified categories like Popular, Latest, In Theaters and Opening Soon. Now when you want to convince a friend to check out a movie with you, you can either post the trailer on your blog or shoot them the trailer URL in an email. Find all of YouTube's movie trailers here.

Unintentionally Funny: How to Pack Instructional Video

TresSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:00:00 -0700

It's "Boring Week" over at Everything Is Terrible, and they dug up a video described on YouTube as "the most boring video in the world." In it, a representative for Magellan travel products shows a couple how to pack. Your eyes may glaze over as quickly as theirs do as the mind-numbingly boring speaker expounds on a mind-numbingly boring topic. My curiosity got the better of me, so I had to watch. Let's just put it this way: it would really come in handy during my next bout of insomnia.

Download of the Day: GimmeSomeTune

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:05:15 -0700

I swear I can listen to a song over 100 times and still manage to mess up the words, or make up my own - kinda like the Romy and Michele's High School Reunion scene when they sing Footloose (Footloose manages to turn into cut loose).

Because I regularly watch music videos on YouTube, I've used this Greasemonkey extension to help me with song lyrics, but what about my iTunes library? Thankfully a reader has submitted a neat download to the Download of the Day group to help this geek out. Jmichelle's fave lyric provider is called GimmeSomeTune. She says:

I absolutely have to have lyrics to my songs whenever possible and with over 3,000 songs, it's irritating to put in so many Google searches. GimmeSomeTune does an automatic search for every song without lyrics as soon as it begins playing. It also searches for album art as well. And it's totally free (although they do ask for an optional donation).

Do you have a download that you'd love to share? Join our Download of the Day group and share your favorite download, and tell us why you love it and it could be featured on GeekSugar. Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.

You Can Now Watch TV Shows on YouTube

GeekSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:05:05 -0700

Hulu isn't gonna know what hit them now that YouTube has launched a new television show section on its website, which includes categories like family, sports, comedy, romance, and even movies! What's great is that there's already a wide selection of shows, including classics like Alf, MacGyver, and 90210 - I know, ALF! Word has it that YouTube has signed agreements to distribute content from Sony, Lions Gate, CBS, MGM, and more, so hopefully the selection of shows keeps growing.
