What Disintermediation?

Seth — Wed, 06 May 2009 04:00:53 +0000

Sorry for the big, grown-up word in the subject of this post: I learned it in business school…when I read about business school…in a book. (reference DirecTV “Charge More”)

Yesterday afternoon I saw a tweet from ESPN RISE asked if anyone had questions for Donald Faison of Dr. Turk on Scrubs fame. I posed: Best hairstyle in sports? Look at Lawrence’s head. It’s da bomb! Cause I’m keepin’ it real. Cause I’m keepin’ it real. (reference Clueless script)

Well, today he responded to me (right after dirtydave998):

ACDC Like You’ve Never Seen Before

Honestly I can’t think of a better way to kick off a Monday than with this sick display of dancing. I have to admit (to those who don’t know already), I’m a huge fan of You Got Served and specifically David and Elgin’s crew. So you can imagine my excitement when I caught a tweet from @andrewbaron about a Dance Battle between Miley Cyrus and Jon Chu (director of Step Up: The Streets). Apparently Jon and Adam Sevani (main actor in the movie) called out Miley and Mandy (aka M&M) a couple weeks back on their video blog. M&M responded with a strong number to Madonna and JT’s 4 Minutes. Now it was on ACDC (Adam and Jon’s crew), and they took it to the next level with the help of Lindsay Lohan, Adam Sandler, Amanda Bynes and Chris Brown as well as MTV’s Best Dance Crew, JabbaWockeez.

I hope you enjoy. I know Michael K. will he enjoys dance battles as much as I do. And P.S. I want to trade places with Rob Hoffman. P.P.S. That’s Dellicious with two l’s. You have to accentuate the ‘l’.

Inbox of Immaturity: I’m F*cking Ben Affleck

The IOI has come early because it looks like while I passed on some old and busted last Friday, I have in my possession the new hotness. As anticipated, here is the video response to Sarah Silverman’s hit “I’m F*cking Matt Damon.” What you could not have anticipated was the star power Jimmy and Ben could assemble for this ridiculousness. Robin Williams made me want to run home and do a Mrs. Doubtfire + Birdcage back-to-back viewing tonight. It’s time to start taking sides.

It’s already 2PM, so let’s get right into it…

As you may have noticed in recent IOI’s, FunnyorDie has skyrocketed become one of my top visited sites. This week I discovered an amazing idea and great executions with Drunk History Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.

Have you ever heard of 7 minutes in heaven? Well, this is 8 seconds of it. Last week Obama faced some (ridiculous) allegation, and now we focus on Mitt Romney trying to keep it real. Aki hooking it up.

Another short and sweet (?) clip from Action 7 News, thanks to Jake.

Sarah Silverman is a little bit more long-winded in her approach but the message is clear (thanks in part to Matt Damon): just like Scotty, Jimmy doesn’t know. Aki, once again.

And lastly from the office-wide email chain, a timely Super Bowl prediction from Fitzy.

This week saw some major stories in immaturity. Undoubtedly, you’ve heard about and/or seen them as well. So apologies if I’m not giving most of you anything new. Hopefully I’m keeping a few of you in the loop. Either way, I’m keeping all this ridiculousness in one place, so when that time comes down the road where you need to reference these stories (or other similarly themed moments), you can come here and search the IOI. These don’t need any introduction.

Tom Cruise talks about Scientology.
Colbert gets hung in the Smithsonian.
Aussie Spicoli knows how to party. And you can party in a tribute t-shirt.

And just in case you want a taste of immaturity at the personal level, let me give you a more inside view at the conversations amongst my friends on email. This week one buddy wrote that he was “feening for a fortune cookie.” Another replied, “what’s feening mean?” The original feener went straight to the Urban Dictionary for the answer. The end. Hope you learned something…about Jodeci at the very least.

Inbox of Immaturity: Back-to-Back

Seth — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:33:00 +0000

As one week of immaturity ends, another one begins. This is totally up my alley and hopefully will be up yours as well. Yeah, up yours. While watching Jason perform on Celebrity Rap Superstar annoys me to no end, Justin Bobby does quite the opposite. So you can imagine my excitement to find a JB and Audrina spoof by real actors!

I have been back this site since The Landlord skit that basically launched it, but you can be sure I’ll be checking back in with FunnyorDie soon.

And lastly, may as well remind you all here that the season Finale for A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila is Tuesday night at 10PM. There’s a show that will certainly help make the point of the video above. We all need those writers back working.

What Are You Doing?

Seth — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:06:00 +0000

Here’s a Monday Morning Mashup! (You all know how I love that alliteration). So I just got to uploading some recent pictures into iPhoto, including one of a ridiculous truck-limo that was trying to park on the west side of Union Square the other night. Additionally, last week I was surprised to see the VMA’s back in my twitter feed (they’d stopped since the show in September) and the tweets from Lil Weezy and Soulja Boy made my day (or hour at least) so I took a screen grab. Now with these two images together, I’d like to imagine we were all there chillin’ in that monster limo freestyling about the Internet.

Badass By Association

Seth — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:26:00 +0000

I like to say I’m a combination of Seth Godin and Jabar Gaffney. Well, actually I’ve never said that before, but after last night I’m definitely trying to link myself with the latter. You see, I get pretty excited when people with (at least part of) my name perform. Call it “X” by association. In this case, I’m now one step closer to getting the nickname “Crazy Hands” Gaffney on the flag football field.

So when Seth Godin comes through with a hot book or post, I can’t say I’ve ever felt closer to it than others but it does kind of make me want to step up my game as a Seth (a Seth G. at that). Or when Seth Green comes through with a hot video clip (like Chris Cocker) or Robot Chicken episode or character (Kenny, anyone?), I try to up the funny…after being like, “yeah SETH! that’s what’s up!”

And don’t think this is limited to “real people.” In fact, when characters in movies, TV shows, or books are named Seth or Gaffney (yet to see a Seth Gaffney), I reap the benefits. You don’t think girls at bars ever said, “Oh, like Seth Cohen???” That’s right. Jokes and jokes and jokes and spaghetti, spaghetti. How about Seth from Boiler Room? A bit of a whiner, but ran that casino from his house and could make a sell like no other newbie. Not last and certainly not least my sister, Julie “The Cat” Gaffney saving the last shot glove side in the Mighty Ducks 2 shootout with Russia. What? Yes, that’s right. Team USA. Give me a high five for homegirl!

That’s all. If you see my in the hall, throw me something. A pen, stapler, whatever. I’ll catch it…and then I’ll tell you about a Purple Calf…because I’m badass by association.
