Matt Harding: “Where The Hell Is Matt?” is an ‘Elaborate Hoax’

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 11:14 pm

You know that super popular video of the guy dancing in all those countries all over the world? Well, he himself, Matt Harding, just admitted that the whole thing is an ELABORATE HOAX. Yeah, that’s right. It’s all fake. (The original is shown at the beginning of this clip.)

Hot French Chicks on Some Gameshow

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 8:57 pm

I have no idea what this French gameshow is about, or what the objectives are — but I’m sure all the male readers of Pie Heaven will agree with me that this video is…ahem…MESMERIZING. (Yay, boobs!)

Ten Minutes of Stuff in Slow-Motion

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 7:19 pm

There’s no secret that I love watching things in slow-motion, and Casio released this awesome video to promote its new high framerate video camera, the Casio EX-FH20. I wish my entire life occurred at 300FPS. I would be so bad-ass and so deliberate.

Cool electronic music video. Who thought bars and tone could make such a catchy tune?

The Top 15 Viral Videos of 2008

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 at 11:19 am

Two-thousand-and-eight was one epic year for viral videos!

Delicious 2008 Pie Slice This is a list of our favorite viral videos of 2008. These are not necessarily the most viewed or most meme-inducing clips (though some of them are) — just the ones that we here at Pie Heaven had the most fun watching.

We shied away from Election ’08 related videos (the most viewed video of 2008 according to Viral Video Chart was will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” tribute to Barack Obama) and the so-called “viral videos” that are created by the mainstream media for other formats, and just happen to go viral. (“I’m F*cking Ben Affleck, for instance…or all those Sarah Palin SNL sketches that got huge.)

To see a list of the most viewed videos of 2008, check Viral Video Chart’s Top 100 of 2008, or the most viewed tab on YouTube.

I hope you enjoy our selections! If you think we’ve left anything out, post it in the comments section below. And have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! There’s no doubt that 2009 will be just as virally awesome as ’08 was.

15. Maru The Cat dives into boxes

Maru the cat is a sensation in Japan — a house cat that loves diving into boxes, and getting stuck in things — has his own blog with daily videos of his antics. The video above, of him diving into boxes, gave him his (much-deserved) 15 minutes of fame.

14. Will Jones’ Turbo Cardio

The ultimate workout plan. Pre-teen Will Jones will regret this video for the rest of his life.

13. Jesus Is My Friend by Sonseed

Christian music was never so awesome.

12. Boston Dynamics Big Dog

The creepy walking robotic “dog” made by some geeks at Boston Dynamics went insanely viral in 2008, and scared a whole lot of people. It also inspired tons of awesome spin-offs and quickly became a new meme. In fact, Pie Heaven even had an original take on the Big Dog (made by Ram Calley) as our April Fools Day prank Boston Dynamics Big Dog Evolves Again.

11. Fat Guy Shoots a Little Gun

The shortest video on the list, but I dare you to watch it just once. I don’t know why it is so ridiculously amazing, but that’s why the Internet is awesome.

10. The Hardest Mario Bros. Level Ever

Hilarious 23-minute attempt at the most frustrating Mario level ever conceived. This probably wouldn’t have made the the list, except for the sole fact that this was the #1 MOST VIEWED PIE HEAVEN VIDEO OF THE YEAR. I really don’t know why this took off, but it was visited over 7,000 times…making it the undoubtedly the most popular video on this little blog by far. I thought that it deserved a place in the top 15 for that alone.

9. Dogs that hate their lives

I would try to comment, but I think the pet owner’s own description of the video sums it up best. The last line in particular.

http://chris.pirillo.com/ – This year, our two puppies are getting dresed up as Princess Leia and Darth Vader. My wife, Ponzi, came up with the idea.

One minute after I recorded the video, Pixie peed in place and Wicket bit my left hand.

I can’t believe people like this exist. But I’m glad they do. For my own amusement.

8. The Final Countdown on KazooKeylele

Epic cover of an epic song. Bonus points for using the word “KazooKeylele.”

7. Japanese TV: Situps Challenge with Monkey and Dog

Probably the most talked-about (in person, with me), video on Pie Heaven. All of my friends who visit Pie Heaven thought this was as amazing as I did…and I honestly can’t get enough of it. Especially the BIG REVEAL toward the end (you know what I mean!)

6. Ninja Cat

Incredible! Cat sneaks down the hallway without moving. This video got huge, and there are about 500 different versions of it, set to different background music. I chose the one with the Jaws theme for this post, but the most viewed version has ninja techno music.

5. Sexman, aka Pruane2forever

Pruane2Forever, AKA “Sexman”, is my favorite video blogger of all time. This kid is so awkward…so foul-mouthed…and so ridiculously hilarious. I have watched every edition of his video blog that he’s released in ’08 (to much lulz), and posted quite a few of them here. The video above is when he reveals that he got BRACES….OH MAN, dental plan! Almost all of the comments he gets are negative, and people can’t help but pick fun at the kid…which sets him off even more! I love it.

In fact, there was one night this spring when I was walking (drunk) through the streets of Hollywood and heard some kids quoting Sexman. Suffice to say, I had to get in on that. We ended up shouting his best one-liners at each other from opposite sides of the street for a few minutes. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Sexman also does movie reviews…which are high comedy. (His thoughts on 10,000 BC and the new Rambo were particularly good.) And don’t miss the fan remixes of his videos. The remix of his braces announcement is my fav.

4. Jones’ Big Ass Truck Rental & Storage

Let Toby Jones store yo’ shit for you.

3. Toby y Sheila

The most fucked up video of the year (possibly ever). Toby the puppy loved the duck Sheila…and was heartbroken when she died. So what was the obvious solution? Watch the video to find out!

The music choice is amazing, and you don’t need to be able to read the Comic Sans Spanish subtitles to catch the drift. Wow. Just….wow.

2. Bill O’Reilly Flips Out

FUCK IT! WE’LL DO IT LIVE!

What an insane blow up! Bill O’Reilly is a living parody of himself, I swear. This video was a new meme within moments of when it was posted, and it got millions upon millions of views (as well as masterful remixes). Half of Facebook had their status set to a quote from this the morning it dropped, and with good reason. This video is an internet legend.

1. Lazytown Feat. Lil Jon – Cooking By The Book

Indeed, it is a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.

If there’s one thing I learned in 2008, it’s never use a messy recipe (that cake will end up crazy!) It’s hard to believe that this most improbable mashup resulted in the BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR — but this is the one video that I have watched more than any other in 2008, and can’t get out of my head. Who thought that Nick Jr. and hardcore hip hop could mix to form such a perfect synthesis? Congratulations, Internet. You win.

BONUS: The Rickroll (RIP, 2007 – 2008)

I had to do it. 2008 was the year of the Rickroll — its awkward beginning as an inside joke on 4chan, its propulsion into worldwide fame, and its unfortunate, untimely death due to oversaturation. But if you count the number of hits from all the different Rickroll videos all over the Internet, it’s an order of magnitude higher than any other video. And that’s why it is here.

Honorable Mentions

Christian The Lion
The greatest reunion in animal history.

Stormtrooper dancing in Tokyo
One of my favorite videos of 2008…a guy dressed in a Star Wars costume dances to the dance hit “Ai No Corrida.” I didn’t put it in the top list because it actually got big in 2007, not ’08.

Who Needs a Movie? – Fred And Sharon Movies
Commercial for the greatest video production company in the world.

Bert & Ernie Gangsta Rap
The original Bert & Ernie gangsta rap mashup, which inspired tons of sequels — and also, I suspect, the genius Muppets Rickroll, which exhibits probably the best editing in the history of YouTube.

Pretty much everywhere, it’s gonna be hot.
Thanks, Arthur. I watched this on loop for hours, and I have no idea why.

Ah fuck. I can’t believe you’ve done this.
Webcam pwnage. Another 10 second vid that I watched over and over and over again.

Keeping your refrigerator stocked will get you many women
How to set up yo’ crib to get tons o’ pussy. This video is too good to be true!

Young@Heart
The documentary about the senior citizens’ chorus group was one of my favorite films, and the also released several amazing music videos to accompany the movie. This links to my favorite, a cover of Road To Nowhere by the Talking Heads — but their versions of Stayin’ Alive and I Will Survive also deserve acclaim.

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)
High-def remake of the classic world traveling and dancing video…this time with corporate sponsorship.

Tom Cruise on Scientology
This creepy internal Scientologist video, featuring Tom Cruise rambling to the Mission Impossible theme on loop, is what singlehandedly started the mobilization of thousands of internet geeks in the Anonymous vs. Scientology protests. Scientologists demanded that the video be removed from the Internet due to copyright complaints. And they soon learned that you DON’T MESS WITH THE INTERNET.

I bet you can’t laugh without smiling
One of the stupidest…and funniest…comedy sketches of the year.

Renaldo Lapuz – “I Am Your Brother”
We’re brothers ’til the end of time. I wouldn’t say that a video that originated from the #1 show on television, American Idol, can be called “viral”… but this is the most amazing audition ever, with an original song that inspired hundreds of online video remixes. It’s one of the year’s best moments, so it at least needs mentioning!

Between Two Ferns
A spoof on “Inside The Actors’ Studio” and local access TV by Zach Galifianakis. It’s an amazing web series specially made for Funny Or Die, and it is hilarious.

Jump Roping Dogs
Japanese TV clip, and possibly the cutest thing ever.

Brenda Dickson – Welcome to My Home
Soap opera star Brenda Dickson’s infomercials and soap moments…dubbed over with what she’s really thinking.

The Wrong Trousers – Video Killed the Radio Star
Amazingly awkward cover by the nerdiest high school band ever.

Sarah Palin Turkey Incident
The greatest living cartoon character of the year at her most shining moment. Watch turkeys get slaughtered as Palin reflects on her botched 2008 vice presidential campaign.

Hamster on a Piano (Eating popcorn)
Music video by Parry Gripp…of exactly what you think.
