Leave the kid be. He's obviously retarded and can't defend himself from your predatory advances.

well... he may be handy with protools but he should leave lipsynching and dancing to the pros. Surely his college has some musical theater majors. Or aspiring drag queens.

Didn't that SNL skit about Space Olympics cover most of that ground?

brendan, i think charles hacked your post with the parenthetical about the new media hero. you should tighten your security.

silly to hate on this, its funny, free and better than 90% of the sh-t on YouTube. j

Remember, this is better than that jibjab crap from 2004.

Thanks a lot, Andy Samberg you ass.

Now the hipsters have a reference point when trying to break into media.

The State of Desperation (And Alabama too, and Alabama too)

That is just rich.

The hatas are missin...

He's a genius. Certainly, he's hit his stride with the Pres debates. The lyrics of these things are brilliant.

Brendan, it really says something about you when you rip on generic theater and then pimp something like this.

I don't know... I like the VP debate one best

But what does it say, tasteless? That I know what's good and you don't?

I agree with #14. The VP song was the catchiest one.

The line about "Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, so many stans I don't understand" is awesome.

Love his debate tracks. The kid is totally brilliant. I just love his stuff!

Think about this: He took a wonderfully insightful sense of humor, wrote music to it, played, sang, produced the track, directed the video, edited up a storm putting together all the found footage, his own, and animation. Costume, props, acting. C'mon, people! Where's your sense of appreciation for the pure theater of it? He's my new idea of a creative-genius artist nerd-hero! The voice is too real for a nerd, though. This kid definitely has something.

His MySpace page has the audio tracks in high quality, btw.

Damn. If he's appearing anywhere, I'm ready to pay the cover charge. Count me a fan.

I agree the kid is funny, not sure about brilliant. Only serious artist would find this not amusing.

Seriously...this stuff is so satisfying on many levels. If he hasn't caught you yet, listen to it several times.

He's perfectly spoofing just about everything...from a perfect sense of current pop dance music (Timberlake, Timbaland) to the white dance guy to keen understanding of the political race...to executing modern computer production skills...to current hip vernacular...

but...seriously...the lyrics are just great. The songs have groove and melody without taking themselves too seriously.

again...

Miss caribou killa, black gold drilla...whatchya gonna do for Pakistan?

Have you even SEEN Chris Crocker lately? It's in completely full blown freak-ass mode.

I dare you and Eli Sanders to eat your words.

JUST LOOK AND LISTEN TO HIM ugggghhh

I love it, he makes me think of that kid from Home Movies (Brendon Small?), as a teenager. And I like him even more that he's from Boone, a hippie-ish town in a beautiful part of the Appalachian Mountains.

Yes John Bailo, SNL did that. The kid is so brilliant, he posted his video 2 weeks before SNL aired theirs. He copied their idea, by visiting the FUTURE!

Just like your repub talking point laden posts, you get it wrong again!

NEXT!

@7: Bwa. When I started reading that paragraph, I scrolled up to check the byline, and was surprised.
