CHARLIE BROWN HEAVY METAL CHRISTMAS
+ Charlie Brown Kwanza (self-claimed most offensive video ever)
ROBOT WARS
How do these people take themselves seriously? If I studied acting for years and years in the top conservatories of England, and then ended up working at Robot Wars...I would probably just kill myself.

Soulja Boy
from Wikipedia
"DeAndre Cortez Way (born July 28, 1990 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, or simply Soulja Boy, is an American rapper. In September 2007, his single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He produced his whole album Souljaboytellem.com using just the demo version of FL Studio."
"In November 2005 Soulja Boy, along with another rapper "Arab" posts his songs on the music-based social community SoundClick. Following positive reviews on SoundClick, Soulja Boy opens a YouTube account on January 13, 2006 so "... people can put your face to the things you spitting." The following month Soulja expanded onto MySpace to increase his fan base. A year later in March 2007 he would record "Crank That" and release his first independent album Unsigned and Sill Major. On April 11th a low budget video is filmed demonstrating the "Soulja Boy" dance. By the end of May 2007 "Crank That" receives its first air play and Soulja Boy meets with Mr. Collipark to sign a deal with Interscope Records. August 12, 2007, the song appears on the Emmy-award winning HBO series Entourage and by September 1st it has broken into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and tops the Billboard Hot RingMasters chart."
That's right, he's 17. And he recorded his "hit" song in March, by himself, probably alone in his room, on his computer using demo software. This past March, that's 8 months ago, and he was unsigned with a Myspace account. He wasn't even signed until May. In September his song his NUMBER ONE on the Billboard top 100. 4 months, Youtube and Myspace.
Instructional video
it's funny that he says "you know what I'm saying" so many times, because really I usually don't know what he's saying. Damn caveman islands. It's also funny that they're filming this in a pool, and he has THE NUMBER ONE SINGLE ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. Almost as ridiculous as his accent.
I'd also like to note that you may want to take a nice, long break in between viewings of any video containing "Crank That," because you will end up saying "youuuuuu" everytime you try to speak to someone, and it gets embarrassing. I also have really wanted a super soaker all day .

Amazing. A flawless performance by the 4'11" 35 year old in the middle. The metrosexual ghost on the right does a decent job, and the one on the left looks like a giraffe for most of the video.
Snap, Crackle aaaaaaaand Pop
There's also videos similar to the Winnie the Pooh "mash-dizzle", most notably a Lion King one with over 6 MILLION views, and a Spongebob Squarepants one with over 18 MILLION views - but they were just too corny to post. I couldn't even watch them all the way through, but if you want, you can see them here and here.
*on second thought, I am going to post the Lion King one. Reading the comments and profile of the girl who created it...it just all makes too much sense.
About the Video: FIRST OF ALL I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW THE SPONGEBOB ONE IS BETTER OR HOW THE WINNIE THE POOH ONE IS BETTER OR HOW ANY OTHER SOULJA BOY VIDEO IS BETTER ALL RIGHT! I MADE THIS FOR FOR FUN NOT FOR A FREAKIN' COMPETITION! ANY SUCH COMMENTS WILL BE REMOVED. THANK YOU! Btw I this video only took me about 1 hour to make and I did while I was on Summer Vacation from school.
Program Used:Windows Movie Maker 2.0
*I'm pretty sure I went to High School with this girl. She was the little one in the back who was really quiet but is seriously the only person I know who could draw a unicorn in shining armor attacking the Princess from Super Mario, in 3-D, from the perspective of a cloud.

Age: 20
Well first off I'm a girl and I'm really 18 years old but youtube messed up my age so that's why it says I'm 20. MY B-DAY IS ON NOV. 28!!! I'm a very big Naruto, Naruto Shippuuden, Inuyasha, Avatar The Last Airbender, and W.I.T.C.H. fan. I got my user name from a fantasy-made Inuyasha character that me and my twin sister drew together, and his name is Inusha because he is the make believe little brother of Inuyasha. ^^ My favorite video games are the Kingdom Hearts series.You can tell when I make an AMV because I put the title of that anime it was from at the end or the beginning. In my spare time I like to read Naruto manga in Shonen Jump books and write Naruto,The Lion King,and Kingdom Hearts fan fiction and play video games or watch anime on TV. I'm very outgoing and I talk so much that its hard for me to shut up lol! Video Game Consoles I usually play at home are:
AMV evidentally stands for Anime Music Video, I had to look it up. It also stands for your a big fucking nerd.

THE TOXIC AVENGER
Then I realized that there is someone so cool that they are able to take all of the bad things about pollution and turn them into an awesome, crime-fighting role model for kids. Did anyone else watch the Toxic Crusaders as a kid, or play the AWESOME Sega Genesis video game? This is where it all came from...
PLOT
"Melvin Ferd (Mark Torgl), is the stereotypical 98-pound weakling (later Toxic Avenger movies changed the character's name to Melvin Junko). He works at Tromaville Health Club, where the customers (particularly Bozo (Gary Schneider), Slug (Robert Pritchard), Wanda (Jennifer Babtist) and Julie (Cindy Manion)) harass him constantly. His tormentors get more and more violent until he is tricked into wearing a pink tutu and kissing a sheep. He is then chased around the health club by laughing witnesses of the event where he eventually jumps out of a second story window. He lands in a drum of toxic waste and is irradiated and deformed by the accident. He suddenly lights on fire and runs down the street in a screaming ball of flames"
He then spends the rest of the movie fighting crime and falling in love. The point is - awesome.
The Toxic Avenger was first released in late 1985, and was virtually ignored upon its first release. The film was followed by two unsuccessful sequels: The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie. A third independent film sequel/remake was also released, entitled Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
Parts II and III were seen as disappointing by many fans, some of whom accused Troma of selling out, due to the films having far less violence and offensive humour when compared to the original film. There was also an animated children's TV series spin-off, Toxic Crusaders, where Toxie was the leader of a team of mutated superheroes who fought against evil alien polluters. The cartoon series was short-lived and it was quickly canceled.
*Good idea - make an animated kids show about movies that were criticized for becoming less violent and offensive. I've never wanted to play in toxic sludge more.
Recently, Lloyd Kaufman (the original director) and Adam Jahnke wrote a novelization entitled The Toxic Avenger: The Novel. It was released on May 10, 2006 and was published by Thunder's Mouth Press. It was also adapted as a musical, on two occasions. The first, Toxic Avenger: The Musical, debuted at Omaha's Blue Barn Theatre in 2004. Later, the movie was adapted as a musical as Toxic Avenger: The Musikill. Kaufman reportedly had nothing to do with the production, although he did verbally support Kortum's adaptation and attended the production on Opening Night.

The Charleston
The Charleston is a dance named for the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The rhythm was popularized in mainstream dance music in the United States of America by a 1923 tune called The Charleston by composer/pianist James P. Johnson which originated in the Broadway show Runnin' Wild and became one of the most popular hits of the decade.
While it developed in African-American communities in the USA, the Charleston became a popular dance craze in the wider international community in the 1920s. Despite its black history, Charleston is most frequently associated with white flappers and the speakeasy. Here, these young women would dance alone or together as a way of mocking the "drys," or citizens who supported the Prohibition amendment, as Charleston was then considered quite immoral and provocative.
Charleston was one of the dances from which Lindy Hop developed in the 1930s, though the Breakaway (dance) is popularly considered an intermediary dance form. A slightly different form of Charleston became popular in the 1930s and 40s, and is associated with Lindy Hop. In this later Charleston form, the hot jazz timing of the 1920s Charleston was adapted to suit the swing jazz music of the 30s and 40s. This style of Charleston has many common names, though the most common are 'Lindy Charleston', 'Savoy Charleston', '30s or 40s Charleston' and 'Swing(ing) Charleston'. In both '20s Charleston' and 'Swinging Charleston' the basic step takes 8 counts and was danced either alone or with a partner.
