My Reaction to The Internet

I recently stumbled upon "Greg Rutter's Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You're a Loser or Old or Something." Apparently I'm a loser or old or something, because I had only ever seen or heard of about 10 of the items. So I made it my mission to sit down and actually watch/ read every single item on the list that I've been missing.

My Thoughts:

  1. 1. Can't believe that was televised.
  2. 2. Kids make great videos.
  3. 3. Lame
  4. 4. Seen it
  5. 5. Seen it
  6. 6. Did someone slip me acid? This video is the trippiest thing I've ever seen in my life. And I watched Smurfs growing up.
  7. 7. Neat
  8. 8. Fat guys lip syncing also make great videos.
  9. 9. Seen it
  10. 10. Lame
  11. 11. Good for my self esteem, but crashed my browser.
  12. 12. Wtf?
  13. 13. Shrug.
  14. 14. Shrug.
  15. 15. Cute parody.
  16. 16. Looked more like a hamster.
  17. 17. Seen it
  18. 18. Not much for the f word, never got into GI Joe.
  19. 19. Reminded me of the Darwin awards.
  20. 20. Awesome. I wish I a) owned a bulldog, and b) could teach him to board like that. I'd be popular.
  21. 21. Seen it
  22. 22. Again with overuse of the f word. Why is this funny?
  23. 23. Literally shaking with laughter. Second most trippy thing Ive seen. Rest of the site sucks, though.
  24. 24. So that's what lol cats are.
  25. 25. Shrug
  26. 26. Shrug
  27. 27. Kind of liked it, actually. It's bookmarked for when I have a bad day.
  28. 28. I've been Rickrolled many a time.
  29. 29. Shrug
  30. 30. Drunk kids make for funny videos. Child protection, anyone?
  31. 31. Shrug. F word. But I did like the bit about 400 babies.
  32. 32. Heard of this one. Did what it was supposed to. Laughing and crying at the same time.
  33. 33. Shrug
  34. 34. Wtf?
  35. 35. Really?
  36. 36. This reminded me of a cross between the video they show before Nexus, and my buddy Brandon's push up pictures. Got boring at the end, but generally neat.
  37. 37. Seen it. Awkward.
  38. 38. More child exploitation. Too long.
  39. 39. Shrug.
  40. 40. See #8. 2.7 million people like to see big women falling.
  41. 41. Shrug.
  42. 42. News anchors being dumb make good videos.
  43. 43. Why did 6 million people watch that? Oh, right, because it's on the Internet.
  44. 44. This is why i don't have guest speakers in my classroom.
  45. 45. Nerds make for funny videos. And we all know that big guys make for funny videos (see #8, #40). Combine the two, gave me a chuckle.
  46. 46. Well.
  47. 47. Reminded me of the falling over/ laughing baby. See #2.
  48. 48. F word. And more.
  49. 49. Gave me a chuckle. Only because I like accents.
  50. 50. Omg. Pop up videos on crack.
This will be a good place to pause, maybe take a nap, maybe find a snack. I think I'm starting to get a wee bit cynical. More this afternoon.
