i love Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis – it’s usually good, but every now and then it’s this:
if you have never watched or heard of a Brad Fish ‘Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect’ video then where have you been?
Brad Fish is an alternative persona of Brett Fish [heeeeeey!?!] who runs a You Tube show in which he gives wise wisdom [is there any other kind?] in terms of friendly warning to prepare people from things they might have thought of as being innocent and dangerless but which in fact turn out to be pretty dangerous-potentialistic… you can view some of the old videos here and also here but this is the latest in the series and Brad Fish might have outdone himself…
so when i am bored or creative or feeling that little bit extra’ly silly i make videos called ‘Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect’ as a character called Brad Fish who speak a bit different like and look at a different topic which you might have think was innocentful but will soon discover can be dangerist in many different forms or ways… there are now 17 of these which i shamelessly plug on facebook and twitter and anywhere else i can, and if you haven’t seen them yet, here are the latest 5 i did…
Of course if you somehow only managed to stumble on them here and if you do like them at all [shares and links and likes are all appreciated] then you can find a list of the rest of them right over here.
so this one goes out to the DTYCLE fans [of which i can name at least 6 of you] – i have created two polls of five choices each to see which of the videos you like best and would appreciate it if you could take a quick minute to add your vote and if you need a refreshers course on any of the videos they can all be found here. or here. but certainly not here, seriously don’t even click it. thank you for your time…
and:
so ‘Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect’ and the continuing warning video adventures of Brad Fish has made its way to 16 and counting… and so i thort it would be good to list and link to them all in one space… while these are not likely to change the world or go viral any time soon, as long as they keep making people smile, laugh and occasionally shoot liquidy substances through their nostrils, i will probably keep making them…
the one that started it all – episode one – PAPER
episode two warns about the dangers of ICE-CREAM
episode three was all about SARCASM, or more correctly sar-chasm!
episode four saw the first request which was ironically ‘REQUESTS’ seen as quite full of danger
episode five, which has been shown in at least three different schools [mostly in Pretoria] and specifically their English classes was on the topic of PUNCTUATION
episode six, another request, and this time on the unseen hazards linked to WOOL
and ‘THE CLITCHY: PART DEUX’ or ‘REVENGE OF THE CLITCHY’ – first time we have attemped a part too.
episode 10 warned us about just some of the many dangers one can find within ART
it is the links and comments and shares and likes and commentary that get more people seeing these and sharing them further so thank-you if you have been one of the people doing that and if you haven’t then feel free to start. but ONLY if they make you laugh, giggle, smile or liquid-shoot – if you hate them, you wouldn’t have read down to here.
so there are now 13 videos in the ‘Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect’ series of humorousfilled warning videos highlighting average every day things that we might not have considered the potential lurking dangers thereof… the first one of these has received the most hits and is only 999333 hits away from going viral [if 'going viral' means a million hits] – once i achieve that then rebecca black and i can be facebook friends apparently…
but while that seems a long way off i would love to expand the audience of the shows a little and for that i need people to like and share the videos and i have divided this into two categories:
firstly, if you hate the videos and think they suck that is fine and you can read no further, thank you for your time – i would never want anyone to promote something they thought was not worth promoting and i try to do that myself…
second firstly is for those of you who love them or at least like them a bunch and i know there are at leas 15 of you but would guess closer to 100 – if you are able to post on your socialnetworking networks that this is a thing you really dig and people should check it out then some people probably will – just a share is great but if you give it a one line punt that works even better, even a simple ‘hey, check this out!’ and for that i will be muchly appreciative.
first secondly is for those who don’t particularly find them overly funny or amazing but you don’t hate them or think the world will be a worse off place for seeing them – i would completely appreciate a share with words to the effect of ‘this is something my buddy did and he finds them quite amusing’ or something like that because there is no personal buy-in but it still gets a punt
i suppose a third category would be if you are richard branson and you find them completely hilarious and would love to buy the rights to my character to advertise your range of products then call me. [altho maybe not on my virgin phone, the reception is terrible!]
this would be the link to the latest video which i think is one of the strongest and would be a good one to promote but otherwise you can go here for the whole series.
thank you for your time and energy on this – a simple click on share and a one line statement…
and if you really want to invest then commenting on the video or i guess hitting like on You Tube is also something that helps it get found…
love brett fish and No_bob but mostly brett fish cos No_bob is still not real…
