Move over Billy Mays, Vince is back with Slap Chop!

“Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life!”

America’s favorite new pitchman is back with “slap chop.” “You’re going to be in a great mood all day because you’ll be slapping your troubles away with Slap Chop” proclaims Vince. You know, Vince from Sham Wow. This time he’s pitching the the perfect kitchen chopper.

How is this chopper different from the bazillion other choppers out there you ask? Simple. Slap chop is easy to clean. One, two, and bingo, it pops open. The other choppers get bacteria in the food. Not Slap Chop! Face it, those other choppers are worthless because you can’t clean them.

Looks like there’s a new sheriff in town Billy Mays. And he’s gunning for you!

‘Tis the season to go viral?

There are a couple of holiday viral videos floating around this season. Let’s run down a few of them:

Elf Yourself
This is the one that OfficeMax turned into a powerhouse franchise, and is back once again with an expanded version with new features. This time around they partnered with JibJab. I’m fairly sure everybody had a glimpse when it went around last year. See the one I created here.

The Big Hint
Lexus rips off the OfficeMax “Elf Yourself” in a clever retread idea… Put your head on a person and dance with a Lexus! You can send the video around to give someone the big hint. See the one I created here.

My Ginger Head
Virgin Mobile spins it a bit further with adding your head on a ginger bread man or woman. You get to customize your ginger avatar with some bling and icing.  Then it’ on to a holiday message complete with music. See the one I created here.

Sit on Santa’s Lap
Digital frame maker Ceiva gives you a chance to sit on Santa’s lap … sort of. You can upload a photo of yourself and put it on a Ceiva digital frame.

Skateboards + blue suits = one insane ride!

Adam Kimmel presents: Claremont HD from adam kimmel on Vimeo.

These guys are crazy! What’s crazier? Skating down a incline or shooting video while skating down an incline. Passing the camera back and forth was very cool and risky. As it turns out, they’re both pretty decent shooters… And you gotta love the blue suits!

Watch closely at the beginning of the video –  you can see a Beatles and Che Guevara poster on the wall. Influences I guess…

Super low-fi hipster music video

Addictive music video by NAIVE NEW BEATERS. I definitely enjoyed the video more than the song.

Can I get a napkin please!

I’m not a huge fan of musicals. I always thought it was bizarre that spontaneous song and dance would suddenly break out and the extras in any scene would never react. Hello? Does anybody else out there find musicals incredibly corny? This video shows how people really act when a musical breaks out in the food court. Brilliantly pulled off by improveverywhere.com.
