Patton Oswalt…Firsting?

Neil — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:20:10 +0000

While I consider myself a proficient internet-er there are still some things that I am constantly learning. Due to my recent discovery of the power of Reddit, a site I’ve known about but have paid little attention to until the last couple of months (As long as you do not mind an abundance of cat pictures and an overflowing amount of atheist views, I highly recommend it.)

Along the way I have run into many unique terms (acronyms) and some interesting etiquette (or bizarre lack thereof). With that being said, it brings me to my point of “firsting,” something I most likely have come across but have never really paid attention to. Urban Dictionary terms it as:

The obnoxious practice of responding to a blog post/article/video with a comment saying “first.” Generally this comment will have no substance; it is about nothing other than itself. When the first spot is stolen by a non-firster a firster will often resort to “second!” or “third!”

Needless to say it’s out there and makes people mad, mad enough to give it it’s own Funny or Die video, coincidentally acted out wonderfully by Patton Oswalt, enjoy:

Bang Bang

Via IFC’s new Comedy Bang Bang Show. Couldn’t be more excited about this show.

If you want more Hamm, check out this “Ask a Grown Man” by him.

And continuing the mashup conversation, here are some Jay-Z mashups.

A different kind of mashup!

Appealing to the Youth Vote

Obama took a new tactic for appealing to the youth vote, sharing his sweet moves from college. I vote yes for this addition to the Bruce Blog Book club.

Diane Keaton is drunk? Or all consumed by her love for Colbert. Who wouldn’t with a body like this…

REEEEEEE-MIX!

Strange with this talk of mashups. I don’t know if this qualifies, but Pogo is a guy who creates music from sounds and clips from movies and other sources. It is tough to tell if I like it because I grew up on this stuff or if it is actually good. I have been listening to his Alice in Wonderland mix a bunch. Check out the Wizard of Oz one if you like the Alice one below:

History of Whistling

Finally, the Wonder World Web has produced and delivered a concise yet entertaining answer to a nagging topic that I’ve pondered in the past (I might have even asked your input.) Query in question, all the songs that you can think of that incorporate whistling, which turns out to be quite a tuneful category. This video does a good job of listing and performing, but I still think there are more to mention…

Might as well share the other one from the same youtube channel (equally interesting):

A day late…

Since I missed Mashup Saturday yesterday, I’ll make up for it with one today.
