If you’re going to call in to the live show, you have to mute the stream on your end. I cannot hear you very well if you have my voice echoing over the line louder than what your own voice is.

Thanks, Kevin, for capturing this video outtake.

Mute the Stream

Strange things sometimes happen while I am recording videos. Thankfully, people like Kevin are there to record each one of them. This one has a simple explanation behind it: some idiot troll came into our live chat room with the handle fartfacebuttlick.

How was I supposed to resist? Seriously?

Live Recording Outtakes are the Best

Is this madness… or Pirillo? Community member UncleJohn has a long history of recording some of my more unmentionable moments. Any time I make an oopsie, you can find it uploaded to his YouTube channel for posterity. It’s all in good fun, and I always keep an eye out for what he’s come up with.

Over the years, he’s created some hilarious pictures and funny videos that have to do with me. This particular video is a mashup of several of the photos he’s managed to super-impose my head onto lately. His question now is… what should he do next?

This is Madness

It’s not often that I upload outtakes from the live stream, but today was an exception – not because I wanted to, but because the standing (latest) video was another outtake that had generated 15,000 views in a day’s time on YouTube. I thought we’d have more to upload yesterday, but I was mistaken.

I’m left wondering if I should post more outtakes (as snapped by members of the community)?

I don’t mind that people record and upload outtakes to their own channel, so long as they let me know they’re doing so (I need to claim them from my end, so it’s always cool). Going “behind the scenes” is awesome for those who aren’t there when something wacky happens, and I don’t usually capture videos beyond that which get uploaded to the YouTube channel and podcast feed.

Either way, if you capture something you think is funny (and it’s a quality recording), let me know and maybe we can throw it into an official rotation?

So, what was this mysterious video that generated so much traffic in such a short time? Part of the blooper reel from when I was muddling through a few Ustream problems while trying to record my first Guitar Hero experience. I was not having a good time, but I did have… well, the video speaks for itself (don’t worry, it’s short):

What baffles me most is that this five-second video has also spawned 293 text comments. Do I need to drop this educational angle and just go for insipidity? I spend so much time trying to create quality content, but does the Internet only care about… this? And yes, that was a true left cheek sneak – not a layered sound effect. I replaced this as the “latest video” today on my YouTube channel with this outtake as recorded by UncleJohn. Thank goodness he came to the rescue and unearthed a mid-summer gadgetfest before I had to do something drastic:

That’s the remote control helicopter I got from ThinkGeek a few months ago – playing with it on-camera (like this embedded video) would likely have driven just as many video views as the original review I posted. Maybe I need to do less talking, more outtaking?

LegoShark has done it again. He’s fast becoming a name in the Brickfilming world, and this newest creation is genius. I’m not biased, I promise! Keep your eye out for even more fantastic LEGO content from him!

I’m sure you remember that old Blooper on Call for Help. People talk about it daily in the chat room still, all these years later. I lost it, plain and simple. Something struck me as hilarious… and I couldn’t stop laughing. Hasn’t that ever happened to you?! Seriously. Don’t lie! You know it has!!

Anyhow, LegoShark took that Blooper, and made it into a BrickFilm, using LEGO bricks. Great job, and thank you!
