US Colleges and Universities

2009-08-20T16:51:00.002-04:00

We have published a new list of links for every college and university in the USA.

The thing that is interesting with this list as compared to past years is the new crop of online colleges that have sprung up. Our list categorizes colleges by US state, but online schools are not associated with any single state. There seem to be many college students who now obtain their degree totally online, and do not live in dorms, join fraternities or sororities, have out on the "Quad," don't attend fall football games (or go on a drunken riot after a big loss).

I wonder what the college market will be like 10 years from now?

What are your thoughts? What do you think of obtaining an online college degree? Will more and more students choose virtual learning as the years progress?

Pudding Prank Video

2009-02-03T13:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

Here is an interesting and original prank. This guy puts those party rocket poppers (whatever the hell you want to call them) under a bowl of pudding, so that when he pulls a string the pudding explodes on to people. He tells girls that he is interviewing them about food (that's his justification for a camera being there), and then shoots them with the pudding. Pretty funny.

What we like about this Video

-A smart prank. And funny too.

-The girl kicked him in the balls she was so mad, haha.

-I like that they broke down exactly what they would be doing and how they would be doing it.

Maybe Next time.

-It's a little too long. We didn't need all of the slow motion replays. Maybe just one.

-They didn't get hit with enough. I was expecting a bigger explosion.

Inside This Video

Not the most exciting thing I have ever seen, but it's kind of funny. This kid eats an entire orange in one bite. Next up? A cantaloup!

What we like about this Video

-It's something you would dare your friend to do, but you don't have to bother doing that thanks to the internet! Hell, thanks to the internet, you don't even have to bother making friends.

-A simple, easy video. No editing involved.

-He did it pretty quickly.

Maybe Next time.

-Although he did spill a lot of the juice. So was it really a success?

-The quality of the footage was not great.

-As a result, I can't tell if he ate it with the peel on. That would be amazing.

Happy Groundhog's Day

2009-02-02T16:51:00.002-05:00

Happy Groundhog's Day everyone! Here is a video some college kid filmed of a groundhog that lives outside of his window. The rules are somewhat different for this groundhog. If this one sees his shadow, the kid will be sexiled for the next few months...Sucks.

Fresh Prince in One Breath Video

Inside This Video

A useless talent, but awesome nonetheless. This girl sings the entire Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme in ONE BREATH. Check it out, it's pretty cool (and quick!).

What we like about this Video

-The fact that somebody would even think of doing this is funny to me.

-It's a video anybody could make. She just puts a camera in front of her face and viola! Doesn't even require any editing.

-I love that she even bothered to put her hand to her mouth for the "yo home smell ya later!"

Maybe Next time.

-And yet she didn't do the head spin at the end! Booo!

-A cameo from Carlton would have been appreciated. It's not like he's busy.

Harvard Cribs Video

2009-01-31T13:00:00.001-05:00

Inside This Video

While this is a stock college student video joke, this Harvard student does a pretty good job with the MTV cribs mock video. He shows us around his room, and many of his roommates are not pleased with his decision to do so.

What we like about this Video

-A dorm in Harvard? Now I know how all the smart kids live!

-Simpsons boxers. Funny.

-The guy asleep when they came in made me laugh...

Maybe Next time.

-...although I don't know why he was speaking a foreign language when he woke up. It also would have been funnier if he wasn't even referrerd to, but just showed. Same with the Simpsons boxers. It's funnier to do the whole tour in them and not say a word about them.

-It's too long. You could accomplish all of the funny/worthwhile moments in this video in about two minutes.

Dorm Boxing Video

2009-01-31T10:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

This is one of the best dorm boxing videos I have seen. It's pretty short but they're fighting hard the whole time. Check it out.

What we like about this Video

-It's funny to me that they're fighting in a laundry room. They'll be able to get the blood out of their clothes quicker I suppose.

-They are fighting hard the whole time. There are some extremely hard punches thrown by both guys in this fight.

Maybe Next time.

-As always, there are a couple shirtless guys sitting around. Why are they always there? At least it's not one of the fighters this time.

-Sometimes the camera doesn't do a great job of following.

-We don't get to see an official end. Did that guy die?

College Blues Workout Video

2009-01-30T13:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

After a little bit of convincing, these guys decide to go to the gym together. They then put together a montage of working out.

What we like about this Video

-These guys are pretty funny at times.

-Looks like they just wanted to throw a video together and make it up as they go along. Seems like they had a fun time doing it.

Maybe Next time.

-The somewhat improvised dialogue is annoying. If they wrote some dialogue they could get to the point quicker.

-Lighting is too low in the beginning.

-Careful using licensed music. They could take your video off of youtube.

Cock Block PSA Video

2009-01-30T10:00:00.001-05:00

Inside This Video

These guys bring literal meaning to being "cock blocked" when they demonstrate what can happen to you if you forgot to bring a condom along to a hook up. A chicken or "cock" comes up to the car, rips the guy out of it, and beats the crap out of him. Pretty funny.

What we like about this Video

-The chicken costume and the fight scene is hilarious. Smart to do it with just a voice over. It's funnier to just get the visual of it.

-Nice directing on this one.

Maybe Next time.

-Ugghhhh it has a positive message? I don't watch youtube to learn things, jeez.

-The credits at the end are not needed. It's just a minute long video.

Shirtless Ninja Prank Video

2009-01-29T13:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

In this simple prank video, a guy roams about the dorm with some sort of ninja mask on (and yet no shirt) looking for somebody to scare. Finally, he finds his victim in the laundry room.

What we like about this Video

-Although it's very short, they put enough time in to build suspense. Even multiple camera angles.

-They got a really good scare on that girl! She was quite surprised.

-Afterwards, she was a great sport about it. Everyone wins.

Maybe Next time.

-He scampered off really quick. It would be really funny if he came up behind her and scared her again.

-We never get to see the guy's face. What does he look like?

College Snow Day Video

2009-01-29T10:00:00.001-05:00

Inside This Video

In honor of the bad weather all across the country, here is a video of college students celebrating a snow day!

What we like about this Video

-College snow days are few and far between, so it's nice to have one captured on film.

-It's a short video that anybody could do. Almost five hundred views!

-"I'm recording, so this is going on youtube."

Maybe Next time.

-Nothing really happens. I wish there were more to it.

-Not even a snow ball fight? Come on.

Chin-Up Bar Fail Video

2009-01-28T13:06:00.001-05:00

Inside This Video

This kid is trying to demonstrate his extreme chin-up skills, instead he only demonstrates how to fall off of a chin-up bar. Yesterday I posted a video of a guy showing how to use one of these things. This is funnier because it goes wrong.

What we like about this Video

-Like I said, the kid falls. Haha, take that kid.

-I'm not even sure what he was trying to do, but if he succeeded it would have looked AWESOME (and yet not as funny as him falling).

Maybe Next time.

-The camera was really shaky. Just set it up and go.

-I saw too much of his butt crack. Was he even wearing underwear?

Guys Night Video

2009-01-28T10:00:00.001-05:00

Inside This Video

A new video from sketch comedy group "Tour Guides Wanted!" In this, they demonstrate exactly what goes on during a guys night.

What we like about this Video

-Really funny editing here. I like the quick cuts between their dancing.

-Hilarious ending. It took an intense turn that I did not really expect.

-They change outfits throughout the video.

Maybe Next time.

-To be honest, I could have stood for it being thirty seconds or so longer.

-Careful using licensed music. If I'm not mistaken, that's the "Angry Beavers" theme song.

Chin-Up Bar Video

2009-01-27T15:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

Have you seen the commercials for those portable doorway chin-up bars? Have you wondered if they actually work? Watch this video and find out for yourself.

What we like about this Video

-It's really simple. Anybody with a camera or webcam could make this video and post it to the internet.

-To assure us that it's a real portable chin-up bar, he lets us see the whole process. He removes it from the box, unscrews it, screws it in to the doorway, and starts going.

-He shows us all of the ways you can use it.

Maybe Next time.

-He is showing off and making me look stupid. So what if I can't do that many chin-ups.

-The video could have been a bit shorter.

Bench Pressing Video

2009-01-27T12:54:00.002-05:00

Inside This Video

This huge guy proves his dominance to the world, by bench pressing 225 pounds, 27 times. That's impressive. I can top that though. I have bench pressed 27 pounds 225 times.

What we like about this Video

-The scream in the end. I swear he only did it for effect.

-The guy wearing a superman shirt spotting him. He could probably bench that with his mind.

Maybe Next time.

-Speaking of, can we see somebody bench press something with their mind? Now THAT would be cool.

-The title SAYS he is bench pressing 225 pounds, but the video never documents this. How are we to know it's not 27 pounds?

College Scare Video

2009-01-23T10:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

A brief video. A guy is dressed up in a costume that makes him look fake. A girl wanders over to check it out, he jumps out and scares her, she screams. Simple and fun.

What we like about this Video

-So easy to do. Hide your buddy with the camera and catch people's reactions.

-Her friend yelling "I told you!" is great.

Maybe Next time.

-I wish they had done this earlier in the day, so the lighting would be better.

-I would also like to see more. A series of five scares in a forty second video would be awesome.

Drunk College Dude Video

2009-01-22T13:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

This college guy gets really drunk, and his roommate is nice enough to take a video of it. It's funny because I thought he was speaking a foreign language at first, but it just turns out he's so drunk that he's hard to understand.

What we like about this Video

-He swings a bat and almost falls over. Pretty funny to see.

-It's a good idea for a video to entertain the masses. Your buddy gets drunk, so you grab a camera, film it, and throw it straight on to youtube. Everyone gets to laugh along with you!

Maybe Next time.

-The camera is a little too shaky. I almost got sea sick.

-I would prefer it if he were wearing more clothes. I think a lot of people will concur with me on that.

College Bloopers Video

2009-01-22T10:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

Really, this video is just a series of out takes of friends filming together. Watch and catch a peak of their life.

What we like about this Video

-It's something that anybody could do. Just hang out with your friends, film a ton of your time together, and then throw together all of the random stuff that happens.

-It's short and upbeat.

Maybe Next time.

-Nothing really happens. Maybe some more interesting material would be fun.

-That looks like an MTV production logo that pops up early in the video. Be careful with using something like that.

Fake MTV Cribs Video

2009-01-18T15:34:00.002-05:00

Inside This Video

Here is a type of video you will see quite a bit of on the internet: a college student's own version of MTV's Cribs. In this particular one from ECU, this student shows us his apartment, but mainly his fridge.

What we like about this Video

-They do a good job of following the cribs style. I especially like the slow motion replays of simple actions, like displaying pudding.

-The joke is in the fact that in cribs the rich people are showing off their amazing houses, and in this it's just a college student showing his average apartment, and they do a pretty nice job executing that joke.

Maybe Next time.

-I often repeat that people should be careful with using licensed music. These guys also have to be careful about the fact that they used MTV's actual cribs logo. That's a no-no. If they wanted, MTV could have this taken off the internet, so be careful.

-They could have done a better job writing funny dialogue and situations. They spend a whole lot of time in front of the fridge, and it just got boring.

Knife Roulette Video

Inside This Video

Okay, this is a magic trick. This is a magic trick, right? Russian roulette with a turn table and knives! It's all very exciting, and ends with blood!

What we like about this Video

-Have I mentioned it ends with blood? Hilarious.

-Maybe this makes me a loser, but I am intrigued by the fact that it clearly is fake (right?) and yet I really don't know how he did it. I'm sure it's just simple special effects, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

-It's a fairly advanced video, and yet anybody could make that. Inspiring.

Maybe Next time.

-Not the greatest video quality (is that the trick?) so it's a little hard to follow.

-I want to know how it's done!

Foot Boarding Video

2009-01-17T13:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

In this sketch called "foot or die" from sketch comedy group The Imponderables, these guys show us a new sport. It's like skateboarding without the board. So really they are just running up and down ramps. It's funny.

What we like about this Video

-In the beginning they compare their new sport to storming the beach at Normandy.

-Very funny premise.

-Good acting. They're all dedicated to the joke.

-Were they shotgunning soda? That's hilarious.

Maybe Next time.

-Be careful using licensed music.

-This joke could have gone a lot further. They needed to push the idea more.

Kiddie Pool in Dorm Video

2009-01-17T10:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

For some reason, this guy's friends set up a kiddie pool in his dorm room (while he is gone) and fill it with fish. They film his reaction upon his return.

What we like about this Video

-It's a neat idea.

-I like that we get to see his reaction before even we know what the hell is going on.

-Everyone seems really awkward in front of the camera, and it's funny to watch.

Maybe Next time.

-What happens now?

-You're killing all the fish! You bastards!

Inside This Video

Remember making flip books? Or even drawing short ones in your notes when you were bored in class? Well this person made the ultimate one, check it out.

What we like about this Video

-It follows a story, with lots of killing and stuff. Really cool.

-The added sound effects were a great idea.

-Since the drawings were not too elaborate, it's inspiring because it shows anybody can do it, so long as they are patient and willing to dedicate the time to it.

Maybe Next time.

-I generally like short videos, but I could have stood this one being longer.

College Bathroom Prank Video

2009-01-16T10:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

This student is all out of toilet paper, so he innocently asks his roommate for some more, or even kleenex. Instead, his roommate gives him receipts and films the reaction.

What we like about this Video

-It's a great scenario, that we can all relate to.

-Haha it's pretty funny to picture somebody having to wipe with receipts. Clever.

Maybe Next time.

-We don't get to see much of it go down. Just the aftermath (I did like that he threw a shoe).

-I wish we could have seen fighting, or heard yelling. There really wasn't much to it.

-This video describes itself as a prank. It's not really a prank, so much as a roommate being an asshole.

Fart Girl Video

2009-01-15T13:00:00.000-05:00

Inside This Video

This girl just dances around and farts. Really not much to it. Pretty terrible really.

What we like about this Video

-This solves the mystery. Girls DO fart.

-It's a video anyone can make. Just think, you could film yourself "dance farting," put it on youtube, and have almost 2,000 views in no time.

Maybe Next time.

-It's really not that funny. At all.

-Why is the title/ending screen up so long? I almost thought the video wasn't even going to begin.
