A man confronts a coworker for behaving inappropriately, but in the process learns an important truth about himself.

This is so effing cool.

That was the same reaction I had.

Massively cool.

ooohhh....The possibilites are endless. I'm running this over to KLOV so the frizzybear/Phet cut scenes can begin!

The primary difference is what you saw was standalone software, where all this is done server-side. Couple that with the social networking, and suddenly you've got something that is taking off. People see these videos and are like, "Sweet, I can make these and I don't even have to have any special software on my PC, or deal with system requirements or anything.

Whatever you saw 10 years ago, almost nobody else saw. Not so with this. It markets itself.

You're telling me that in 1999 someone had something online that could do this? LMAO. Most of us were still on dial-up in 1999. And, as you said, there wasn't even Flash back then. Realplayer (or something) isn't an animation platform. It's just video compression and streaming. I think that you are either misremembering this tech, or at least confusing your timeline. This sounds pretty unlikely to me.

Show us where someone in this thread claimed this was a new concept.

Yeah, I remember doing this stuff in Fantavision...

Got some NSFW language (and some inside jokes). Nothing personal

CCM · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2009, 04:37:11 pm »

I don't get the appeal...

shmokes · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2009, 04:42:25 pm »

That's too bad.

On another note, I added the caption/synopsis to my original post. You see it already if you view the video on the xtranormal site or on Youtube, but miss out if you see it embeded. I think it complements my video well.

We're easily entertained.

I love it.

"Oh yes, you heard me."

"and now, we sit"

shmokes · « **Reply #19 on:** April 13, 2009, 09:02:25 pm »

LOL . . . I don't have access to computers with sound at school. I just saw Ginsu's videos. How can you watch that bnuts one and not get the appeal? lmao.

The thing is, I made that one just to make Chad laugh. BNUTS thought it was funny, too. However, I thought others might enjoy it, so I put it up.

shmokes · « **Reply #21 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:41:16 pm »

I don't even know BNUTS and have not read any of the posts being referenced by the video. It was still effing hilarious.

Chatroom references. I'm rendering a new video right now. Looks pretty good.

ChadTower's Internet Usage at Work

That is so close to true it's scary. Right down to the boss farting.

You have to remake that one with the Chad avatar from above. Chad isn't blonde.

I don't care and Chad doesn't seem to mind.

Not BYOAC related

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #29 on:** April 14, 2009, 12:41:01 pm »

Edit: Removed video. I didn't like it.

RayB · « **Reply #30 on:** April 14, 2009, 02:01:49 pm »

Ginsu's true talent comes out! Hilarious

And shmokes... yes, Flash existed in 1999.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #31 on:** April 14, 2009, 02:11:28 pm »

Cheers. Finally, my slight retardation pays off!

I liked the BNUTS vid.
