With over 72 hours of footage uploaded every minute, itâs physically impossible to keep track of the content on YouTube. But in YouTube Guide, the Daily Dot will curate its five favorite finds for each workday.
1) Dane Boaz, âJay Leno Makes People Sadâ
Jay Leno: cheeseball comedian, avid car collector, inciter of sad facesâat least in movies and television. In April, YouTuber Dane Boaz picked up on Hollywoodâs trend of inserting Jay Leno monologues into the middle of sad scenes and created this supercut for a filmmaking contest at work.
âThe video came about while I was working on a Tumblr page cataloguing every film Jay Leno made a cameo appearance in as himself,â Boaz told the Daily Dot. âThe function is to lend the fictional world of film a bit of credibility and establish the protagonist as important and newsworthy, and worth our attention.â
2) DeStorm, The Dark Knight RisesâOfficial Trailer (Blackman Parody)
Sub out Batman for Blackman and what do you get? A brother in a bat suit whoâs forgotten to pay his electricity bill. Thatâs the way that YouTube rap stud DeStorm sees it, anyway. His parody trailer may be just the thing to keep this franchise moving.
3) Steve Greene, Puppet Cop, Ep. 4
Itâs a modern day version of Crockett and Tubbs. Sprinkles and Booker, Steve Greene and a black puppet. Together, theyâre working to bring down notorious drug dealer Rico Muerta, but theyâve got to get themselves on the same page first.
4) eQuibbly.com, âA Job Worth Complaining Aboutâ
Think youâve got it bad? This guyâs been up and at work since 6:30am, with no labor associations, no free weekends, no set scheduleâno nothing. His muscles are numb. His patience is tired. He says one day that heâll âquit this nightmare,â but until then, dudeâs stuck with massaging models in bikinis. The horror!
5) Peter Lee, âCamel escapes near Dubai Marina onto motorwayâ
Hereâs something youâve surely never seen in person before: a one-humped camel skirting down the freeway like its a deer running through a country road. As documentarian Peter Lee attests, âOnly in Dubai.â
