3 new major sections of YouTube which you may not know about

YouTube has recently added new sections of which you may not be aware, here they are in case you’d like to waste more time than you probably already do there.  There is a LOT of stuff available.

youedu
EDU: if you’re feeling cerebral.  Boatloads of vids from various universities.  Click Directory once there to see. There are entire courses available to view (e.g. @MIT)

daplane
TV Shows: impressive mix of classics and newer stuff.

slacker
Movies: ditto.


Wes Anderson directed Brad Pitt SoftBank commercial

wes anderson softbank commercial

Wes Anderson-directed (Japanese) SoftBank commercial starring the apparently SoftBank-whore Brad Pitt.  Genius-as-usual Wes Anderson fare: one-take, charming, and great music.  (wow, just looked up Wes Anderson’s next project; who knew it was animated).

See the commercial (HD). Edit: It’s gone.  maybe you can find it elsewhere.


Jizz In My Pants – SNL Digital Short

Proof that SNL still makes the funny from time to time.  I know Molly Simms is a (ex)supermodel and all, but Jamie-Lynn Sigler really steals the show here.  whoo!

Since I can’t stream it here in HD I’m not gonna bother. Edit: see it below streamed in HD now. Click there for even larger HD goodness.  Failing that, get it on Hulu.


Gordon Ramsay punks out some interviewer chump

I’ve been watching a bit of Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen on Hulu, generally preferring the former to the latter for its contestant-less encapsulated format.  I don’t know, perhaps Top Chef has spoiled me, but I found HK pretty repetitive; they don’t create enough of their own stuff, all they mainly do is cook Gordon’s same dishes every week.   Gordon himself is quite a champ though.


60 Minutes’ piece on the Tesla electric car

Pretty interesting, could be a glimpse of the future.  I want one..


Watch CBS Videos Online


I get my TV on the internet, and TV on the Radio

Let me plug two things:

#1: Hulu.com.  Don’t have cable?  Watch TV online, free.  For instance they feature last night’s presidential debate right on their front page today.  Or you could just drudge it up on the youtube.

Obama McCain debate hulu splash

#2:

TV on the Radio - Dear Science cover
