Videos: Really, really, *really* old Neopoleon stuff...

I was looking through my file archives today when I found some old videos I did for Neopoleon.

The idea was to create fun little ads that would promote my site on my site. I never expected anybody else to host them, which was convenient since nobody else ever did.

I was just a widdle boy when I did these. 25, I think. Not sure. Will probably never know. I could do the math, but have neither the training nor the computing power to complete such a task. Anyway, I'm busy calculating pi out to the trillionth digit. On my phone. That's how badass I am.

The first video is self-explanatory. I combined humor and skin to connect with various demographics. Everybody likes to laugh, and some other people like sexy men who looked anorexic when they were younger.

The second video is one I'd been waiting to do. I specifically wanted my friend Dave Lownsohn to be in it, so I had to sit around until his band stopped touring for five minutes and he was in town.

He probably wishes he had never done it. Given that he was in the middle of touring, what I asked him to do with his voice couldn't have been good. He was probably bleeding by the end of the video.

For those of you who were around during the Panda Control days, you'll recognize Dave as the guy who played Reinhold van Buren Esquire - my attorney, VP, head of HR, and soldier. It was based on the strength of his portrayal of a terrified man in this video that I hired him for Panda Control. If he could scream like that, then what else was he capable of?

Magic. That's what.

Enjoy this old crap.

Wow, those are (truly) awesome. They just scream out the effectiveness of simple, well-timed video. Nobody hosted them? That's a shame. Good opportunity to get some links now though. Yay utube.

Um, Wow. Yeah, wow.

You should make more videos like that. And by "like that" I mean awesome.

God, you are [were] such a stud twink (re the first video, not the screaming one).  Would you consider turning gay and letting me lick your nipples?

I guess probably not; I think you've already blogged about that possibility. Oh well, you are [were] a nice piece of pulchritude.  Thanks for sharing that.  Yummers.

Me!!

"Because she's uber-supportive and nuts."

And supportive of your nutsness.

Thanks for the shout- you have been touchingly supportive and totally nuts yourself, Mr. Blyth.

The shirt off commercial... awesome and effective on many levels. And I like your catchphrase for the blog. I think it should say that somewhere on here... maybe under your email?

I remember those...still laughed. Out of politeness, I mean. Not because they're awesome. Oh god no.

Very cool.

I'm surprised they didn't call the cops when doing that second video.

Baby Jeebus in a Batmobile! You've got huge fingers Rory! Like freakish huge! (As seen when you point to your T shirt.)

You realise with fingers like that you should have been a musician, piano tuner, electrician, vet or porn star don't you? You missed out on a whole slew of career paths.

Also, is there any freakish part of the anatomy which isn't suited to porn? I ask merely for reference.

I'm so annoyed that I can't watch your videos at work.  What am I supposed to do?  WORK?!  Puh-leeeeze.  And I'm annoyed that I can't watch your videos at home thanks to our slower-than-death-"high speed DSL".  Whatever is a princess to do...??

The second video made my dog bark a lot.  She won't stop.  

What is the name of that early 80s tune to which TV people remove tee-shirts?  I remember it vaguely, but don't know why.  If I don't find out I'll require medication in order to sleep.  Thanks.

And Billy Idol lips. Not that I stare at your lips. They're just there.

Great videos. Fun. (The guy who did all the screaming - was his voice ever the same? Now that's something to be scared of.)
