Searching for videos to add to my Minimum Wage lens was the first time that I really spent a lot of time on YouTube. I realized just how many clips are really there. There’s a wide variety, from the serious ones like the political vids to absolutely silly.
Geico recently started airing a commercial showing two actual YouTube videos, then a catchphrase, something like “there’s better ways to spend 15 minutes online” so instead of watching silly videos you can fill out an insurance application.
Like I said the videos in the commercial are actual ones that YouTube users had previously uploaded. The first on is a guy just making crazy noises. I have to admit to hitting replay several times, Artie, who makes lots of other videos including movie reinactments, is really funny. I haven’t found the other video from the Geico commercial. Guess I have better things to do with my next 15 minutes.
Hey Sandra!! I clicked on your blog which was linked in your email! I have only recently started blogging, still learning a lot about it. But this is one way I can “catch up” on what all you have been up to!!
Hey Jamie! Blogging is lots of fun…glad to see you have caught the bug too.
