As midterms quickly approach, UConn students will find themselves on lockdown in the library, swamped with the past month's worth of reading. YouTube videos are often the perfect solution to save procrastinators from cabin fever.
With the thousands of videos released daily, you can get lost in the YouTube jungle without ever finding a worthwhile clip. An experienced YouTuber checks out the list of videos that have had the most views or have been ranked the highest to ensure that they will be entertained, but even this plan is not foolproof.
No one wants to search through tons of sing-alongs made by preteens or stumble upon another terrifying shock video. Here is a list of several videos released in the past couple of weeks that may be worth your time.
Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy shorts
Over the past month, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane has been releasing shorts that have been getting millions of hits on the Tube. These one- to two-minute videos have the same quick-witted jokes that McFarlane is famous for. Popular releases include Bob Marley acting as his own attorney, the real story of Super Mario saving Princess Peach, and a dog on the "$25,000 Pyramid" game show. Fans of "Family Guy" are sure to enjoy the Cavalcade.
John Lajoie's new
music video
John Lajoie has become a YouTube favorite with his comedy songs and raps. His rap "Everyday Normal Guy" and Jack Johnson-like tune about a certain shock video are some of his funnier works. His latest release is the second of a two part song called "Show Me Your Genitals" which has received accolades from viewers.
Sarah Palin interviewed by Charlie Gibson
In vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's first interview after she was announced as John McCain's running mate, she was asked if she supported the Bush Doctrine and the plans to invade Pakistan without their government's approval. Palin becomes flustered at first and gives no clear-cut answer to Charlie Gibson's questions.
