Watching the rescues!

Oh deer

 

Reporter turns ghetto in 3 seconds

This video vies with the leprechaun sighting in Alabama (below) as one of my all-time-favorite YouTubes. This is a real guy - a real reporter, not some guy pretending to be a reporter, which is what makes it so freakin' funny. I just laugh myself teary-eyed every time I see it, which is usually really late at night so I have to be quiet. Apparently, the TV station never aired the clip! Amazing, isn't it? But someone pirated it, put it on YouTube (back in 2008, when YouTube had about seven videos on it) and it quickly spread like a communicable disease.

Twenty seconds of Superman

Unlike 90% of the gifs that appear on this blog, I didn't make this one. It's a "share" (so it's OK, I'm not ransacking anyone's gif files). It's the longest gif I've ever seen, maybe because it's a stop-motion type thing, but the effect is still there.

Actually, no. I just timed it at 20 seconds, and I used to be able to make 30-second ones (easily!) when Gifsforum was still in operation. Later on, before it completely malfunctioned, Makeagif would make at least a 20-second one. I can still do longer ones on Imgur, but they're far too big to post. All my attempts to shrink them down make them look like crap.

So it's nice to get an unusually-long one like this. The animation works just fine with only a few frames per second. Damn sight better than mine, anyways. And whatever DID happen to Gifsforum?? If I google it, it tells me it's still in operation, but believe me when I say, there is NOTHING there.

Running out of time? God will give you more

I recently found a trove of  "As Seen on TV" videos on YouTube, the kind you will never see on TV (or, at least, I haven't). There's even a Facebook page with a daily video. Oh joy! Some of these are just weird enough to appeal to me. I didn't think anyone was religious enough to want a talking clock that spews scriptural verses at you, but then again -. Here it is.
