No. 1 YouTube comedian Kevjumba on Halloween

November 8, 2007

Kevjumba is the No.1 Comedian on YouTube.   His videos get hundreds of thousands of views, many of them nearing the 1 million mark. Not bad for a guy who’s still in high school.  He even seems to have permission to use songs from Om Records in his videos.

NewsThe New York Times has a feature article today about Matt Sloan and Aaron, two guys in Wisconsin who developed a runaway hit–with over 19 million views–on YouTube called “Chad Vader.”  Chad Vader is Darth Vader’s younger brother, who works, of all places, at a grocery store.

Hilliard high school student pulls prank on rival school on YouTube

August 31, 2007

News:  I heard about this high school prank on the local radio and just got more info from colleagues.  High school student Kyle Garchar got the opposing team’s fans to hold up placards that spelled out:  “We Suck” in the stands. 

The kid got suspended for 3 days by Hilliard Davidson High School for what the school viewed as an “unsportsmanlike” prank.  Of course, Garchar shot video of his prank and posted it on YouTube. (More)

Analysis:  I’ll be honest.  I don’t think this prank worked as well as the major media outlets describe.  If you watch the video, the words “We Suck” are barely readable in the stands.  Garcher even has to hold up a piece of paper to show what the configuration says.
