Rush Hour 3 Trailer

Rush Hour was quite possibly one of the funniest movies of all time that I've seen at least 20 times. Rush Hour 2 was good as well (although it couldn't top the first) and now I can't wait until the third one will come. I love the very beginning of this trailer when it starts talking about France. They get owned.

Hillary Clinton Tries to Sing National Anthem

In Iowa, the Star Spangled Banner was playing and Hillary Clinton joined in with the singing. Sadly, though she is a terrible singer and is tone deaf so essentially it makes some good ol' fashioned comedy - American Idol style. Simon Cowell would go postal on Clinton in an instant.

How to get away with Cheating

This is the funniest thing I've seen for a while now. I can't stop laughing. This was made over at rejectedjokes.com and see what happens when a wife is caught cheating on her husband.

The Urban Ninja

This is an awesome compilation of clips I found of this guy who calls himself the urban ninja. If you want to get to the really cool stuff speed up to the middle-endish part. It's awesome.

Real Life Simpsons Intro

Hey, I'm a new writer here on the VideoWrap. My username is somekid and I am currently a student. I'll try and help out with the videos and get some really good content going. Here is a clip I found on YouTube that I thought was pretty awesome. I'm a real big fan of the Simpsons for a while now and thought this was neat.

Dick Cheney vs. Nancy Pelosi: The Blink-Off

I remember watching the State of the Union and Nancy Pelosi's incessant blinking drove me crazy. I was watching her eyes more then the President. Case in point:




P.S. I feel kind of bad about posting all the State of the Union stuff but it is just such good material and I love poltics. I'll try to make this the last one. :D

Jon Stewart on the 2007 State of the Union

Jon Stewart, the funniest political comedian, addresses the 2007 State of the Union Speech given by George Dubbya Bush. He compares the State of the Union to Seinfeld. This is an absolutely hilarious commentary on the speech. Dikembe Mutombo and a Troy Polamalu to you!

Dick Cheney smiles When Bush Talks about Oil

Watch and see how Cheney's starts smiling as George Dubbya Bush starts talking about foreign oil. I'm not really sure if Cheney is evil (although many tend to think so) but it seems like he is smiling because he doesn't believe America's dependence on foreign oil will go down. Then again he could be smiling at a baby in the front row. We'll never know.

Smosh - Feet for Hands

This is an extremely moving documentary about a man who must overcome adversity after a mistake during surgery. You gotta love Smosh and my favorite is the song portion. Hilarious!

YouTube to Give Money to Producers (N)

I've always hoped that YouTube would pay producers some of the money that it makes. My reasoning is that making videos takes a lot of time, effort, and money. Chad Hurley said today that YouTube would eventually begin to pay video creators. Jeff Jarvis was able to catch the statement on video and naturally he posted it on YouTube.



I can't wait to see this happen for real so stay tuned to the VideoWrap for more details as soon as I get them.

Nicole Kidman Accident Caught on Tape

If you haven't heard yet in celebrity news, Nicole Kidman was involved in a car accident on the set of a new movie. Somehow someone caught footage of the accident. Here is the video of it here:

Google Video to be Search Only, YouTube to Carry Content (N)


Google has decided to make its Google Video service a search-only site while YouTube will be primary hosters of content. After Google announced its acquisition of YouTube in November, 2006 everyone wondered what would happen to Google Video, a clear competitor to YouTube. Google has made its play deciding that YouTube will be the hosters of content while Google Video will be a search engine of videos including links to YouTube.

My question is will there be other videos on Google Video besides just YouTube? Will there be support for Metacafe, Yahoo Video (doubtful), Revver, and Break? YouTube has this annoying policy of taking down videos such as the Sacha Baron Cohen Golden Globe Speech so I could see a search engine of all the video sites being extremely useful whenever I need to replace a YouTube-taken down video. YouTube is supposed to be completely independent of Google so I'm wondering if Google will slant Google Video results towards YouTube or not.

Another question I'm having about this project is why would I go to Google Video to find a video when I can use YouTube's built-in search feature? What will Google Video offer me over YouTube?

Tiger Woods Surprises Group of Unsuspecting Golfers

The ploy is that Tiger left a golf club on the course and returns to get it back. He then asks them if they want to play a little golf over a friendly little wager. See what happens next as Tiger Woods shocks a group of golfers.

How to get Free Drinks

Here is another way to get free drinks at your local bar/pub. It's a hustler's trick and it works mighty fine as shown by the video.

Will it Blend? Magnets

This is by far the coolest Will it Blend? of them all. There have been iPods and many other things before but this beats them all. Check out what happens when a whole group of magnets are placed in a blender. It's very interesting to see how the particles move.
