We found this video via The St. Louis Egotist yesterday, and had to do the re-post. It’s really a very well done video with great shots of City Garden, City Museum, Forest Park, and all the other good places around town.
Notice how steady they keep the camera despite all the dead bodies and homeless people they had to step over to shoot it.
In what’s being called “the biggest news of your life,” the video mashing comedy stylings of Everything is Terrible! is headed back to St. Louis on July 2nd, with the debut of a new live show and their new movie entitled “2Everything2Terrible2: Tokyo Drift”.
Never heard of them? Good thing we have this blockquote for you.
Everything Is Terrible! was started in 2007 as a way for a group of friends with a serious VHS habit to swap footage. It has since evolved into a full blown internet phenomenon, appearing on Videogum, Gawker, Buzzfeed, The Daily What, The Huffington Post, The Onion A.V. Club, Boing Boing, NPR, MTV, Web Soup, and G4’s Attack of the Show! We were even in some newspapers (whatever those are) called the Chicago Tribune and LA Weekly.
Although there is still some distance between us and the show, we thought it would be a good way to kill time generically awesome to show you some of our top 5 Everything is Terrible clips.
1. Watch out for a knife in the face!
2. The first thing you need to know is that the internet is amazing.
3. We love Duane!
4. Final warning this. (By “this” he means his crotch)
Found this fun little time-lapse video Sean Trani took while driving in to St. Louis a while back, for your Friday enjoyment as you watch the clock ticking…ticking… Can you believe it’s already 4pm?!
Nah. We’re joking. It’s only 2.
If you go poop for an hour it will be 3 when you get out though. Just a thought.
What the hell is it about time lapse videos that are so damn entertaining? I don’t know either, but I just found a St. Louis themed one on Vimeo:
Walking around, or a sped up day (ahem) are really is the best uses of time lapse. Porn I think would be really weird all sped up. It would be over so quick, you really couldn’t enjoy yourself. Oh wait. I think I just found some sympathy for women. Give me a second it will pass…
Our St. Louis tipsters have been sending us the link to this video over and over again this weekend, and it really is totally f*cked up. When you first start to watch it you may say, “Hey no mister! Don’t blast all Dodger fans for one asshole!” To that I say, keep watching…eventually the whole section shows its true colors: Dodger Dickhead Blue.
You know you comes out looking great in this video? St. Louis. I thought LA was supposed to be where all the hot chicks come from, but that poor girl in the Cardinals shirt is smoking hot…all covered in beer…her tshirt clinging to her kickin’ body…wait. Maybe I like those Dodger fans after all.
Who doesn’t love YouTube? I kind of always relate it to New Orleans in that you go in there for what you say is a second and then in an instant you are hypnotized by the sheer number of crazy things to look at, 90% of which is stupid and or gross, and in the end you stumble out with nothing but feelings of guilt a few stories.
On our more recent trip to YouTube, we found this gem below from a guy that appears to be traveling the country and doing little videos for each stop.
This is his St. Louis video, in which he tells the story of how we used to be awesome, and now aren’t.
Apparently this guy has been getting killed over this video from our fellow citizens on the always pleasant comment section. None of the comments seemed cool enough to repost here, but it got to the guy enough that he prepended the description of the video with this:
I changed the title to something obscure so fewer people would find it and complain. I’m not a fan of removing videos altogether. I think there’s an implicit reasonable expectation that what we see will remain available.
When I first read that, I really thought he let St. Louis have it but, after watching it, I couldn’t figure out what the problem was. Sure he could have said more about St. Louis but the video is only a few minutes, and everything in there read right out of Wikipedia.
Nothing like good ole’ St. Louis folk getting after someone with their book learnin’.
