GWEETINGTH, POETRY LOVERTH! (#5)

WARNING: THIS IS A READING OF POETRY BY JOHN MILTON BUT IT'S NOT FOR LITTLE KIDS, AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY OFFICE SAFE!

OK, this is an experiment! To get the effect YOU HAVE TO PLAY BOTH VIDEOS AT THE SAME TIME! You also have to keep both clearly in the frame where you can see them!

Start the top video (the color one) first. Let it play for exactly 30 seconds, then turn on the bottom one (the black and white one). The top video should be louder than the other.

That's it! Boy, I hope this works!


BTW, many thanks to the inventer of this technique, Mike Fontanelli!

Hilarious! You were funny, too.

The technique worked wonderfully and took a lotta set up I imagine. MORE ... MORE ... MORE!

Patrick McMicheal said...

GOOD GOD man, You are BRILLIANT

The Horns and the Hawk said...

that was pretty funny. although, someone just watching your video would have no clue what they should be seeing.

i also found myself straining to hear you, and thinking, "i wish someone would do something about that racket." then i realized i could do something about that racket. then i realized that that racket was part of the effect, and i stopped wanting to do something about that racket.

That really was beautiful at every level. Eddie, you're a genius.

Mark said...

That was Awesome! though I started you part just a little too late it was great, and the girls hot too.

Haha! Very clever!!!

You should do something like this, but you do both the videos and have them interacting. Fun!!!

Of course, you didn't visit her "nudie site" advertised on there!!!!

Oh, Eddie...it's never, ever boring here. Never, ever.

That was great Eddie!

Slack-a-gogo said...

Hysterical!!! And the timing and volume both worked out perfect over here. Nicely done. You never cease to amaze me.

BRILLIANT! I've been enjoying your blog in silence this past year, spreading The Word of Uncle Eddie, but this last collage is one of the most entertaining uses of blog I've ever seen -- BRAVO!

Recent reader; first post. =D I loved this! Everything worked beautifully, and it flowed so well. I laughed so hard at the end when the music finally stopped, and you could finally read.

Adam Tavares said...

Some men play piano, some violin... but you, dear Sir... you play the Internet.

Taber said...

Hahahahaha! That was amazingly awesome. It timed perfectly upon my viewing.

Good show Uncle Eddie!

Damn, very interesting Eddie. I never thought of using YouTube videos like THAT before. Very nice.

And holy crap, she was hot!! And the song wasn't that bad either. It actually sounded really cool. I wonder who the band was.

Hey Eddie, you might have seen this, but I'll talk about it anyway. YouTube seem to have put up a function so you can add speech bubbles, links, and other things to a video you already uploaded. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but this video should help.

Here's a guy using this for a card trick.

I'm sorry, were you saying something, Ed?

I was kinda distracted.

Trevor Thompson said...

You're a genius!

Nice to see someone else who appreciates Isobel as much as I do.... ( her site is very tasteful and lovely as well!!! )

Props to Mike F. for coming up with this idea of interactivity. Next, you should do a video set where Uncle Eddie up top interacts with Uncle Eddie below!

Like, question and answer or something.

But yeah, perfect timing! I guess that comes from working in animation, the respect for the single frame.

Best post yet!

Yr. friend and fan,

- trevor.

PS: Thanks for commenting on my Buckaroo Bugs commentary!

Marc Deckter said...

Haha! It worked great! You truly are the King of the Internet.

Lester Hunt said...

That was the funniest vlog I have ever seen, ever. And I hold you responsible. I'm sure my family did not not appreciate my yelling and laughing at maximum volume at 11:30 at night. If you weren't a genius I would fly to LA and slap your face for you. Thanks a lot, Butthead!

Nico said...

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Two Youtube videos playing off each other, and they worked great!!! Mike and Eddie, this is a BRILLIANT innovation. Best post ever! Imagine even MORE entertainment possibilities from this!

Vincent Waller said...

Lovely Eddie. Your theory worked beautifully. The only thing that would have plused it woul be you actually crossing over into here world.
oh By the By, Tuck Tucker feels that you need to start working as a character actor, because you are made for it.

Neil-W said...

Eddie you are some kind of genius.I cant stop laughing. Brilliantly done !

Eddie Fitzgerald said...

Everybody: Thanks a million for the encouragement! It really helps!

Cynthia, Boo: You read my mind! I'm dying to do something where people in different videos talk to each other!

Richard: Great to hear from you! Thanks for the compliment!

Jorge: What do those symbols mean?

Slash: Thanks for the interesting link! It's nice to have free word balloons!

Nico: Kali's latest caricature nailed you!

Vincent: HEY, TUCK! How's it goin'!?

These are all commonly used on that website we don't talk about. AHEM, moving on...

pappy d said...

Is there a photographer in the audience? Eddie needs some head shots right away.

Jenny Lerew said...

Well, that's fun--very Kovacsian-good idea Mike. : )(smiley for ya)!

But I thoiught the girl was going to read Milton as she stripped. Oh well. Maybe we could email her and suggest it? What do you think, Eddie?

John K's new post is great!

You cant argue with images and theyre the best way of rebutting the pedants in his comments section who blather on for 5 paragraphs about how he should appreciate anime and scooby doo more

cableclair said...

Hey Eddie!

You're inspiring! I love the way your mind works and I love this experiment!

You looking up at the frame above you will naturally make me look at that frame, you making weird faces will pull me back to you, the girl wiggling her hiney distracts me up again like an obduction beam, you slapping your face wins, in the end the girl is too predictable so you are the winner of my attention span.

I was laughing out loud through the first part of that especially, it timed out pretty well. How did Mike Fontanelli "invent" this "technique?"

Anonymous said...

Someone told me, "hey, someone's ripping off your video!" so I went to look and laughed my ass off. BRILLIANT! I wrote you a YouTube mail.

Cynthia:
Don't worry, if he did, I won't tell you :)

Slashhalen:
It actually says at the end of the video (and the info, which, well, you can't see here). The song is Morphine's "Honey White"

Jenny Lerew:
Well see, we internet models ain't too smart so I don't think I could concentrate on stripping and reading Milton at the same time...I'd end up just walking away from the webcam, fascinated by Milton! (Plus, you can't get naked on YouTube)

Cable Clair:
Baby, I've seen your photo. I will abduct you with my ass any time you'll let me....uhhh, that didn't sound right. :)

Eddie Fitzgerald said...

Isobel: Holy Cow! A fan letter from the famous Isobel Wren! I'm honored! I got your email a day late (my fault) and just answered it!

Cynthia, Jenny, Cable, Slash: What the heck...? You guys all know each other!!!????
