In other news, I kind of think the chick from college humor is hawt in a girl-next-door sort of way.


Yes. Very.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions..I've thought about this..and it would be nice to start my own channel. I just haven't really felt too much compulsion to join the video rat race..but perhaps I will take your advice and get my bronze star. I don't think I'll be able to compete with anyone here though for the latest and greatest..i'll probably have to content myself with cat videos.

Regarding the selection of which videos to attempt to sift: I too find that the videos I'm most passionate about (which are usually scenes from my favorite movies) do just as abysmally, upvote-wise, as the ones you seem to feel passionate about. We all have our own passions and one man's treasure and all that...
In order to get your star level up (and more importantly, earn the right to downvote) you may need to do what the rest of us did in our early Videosift days: do the monkey dance. By that, I mean you may need to sift videos you might not otherwise have thought to sift. Cat/dog/animal videos are generally pretty popular and they're virtually a guaranteed sift. Any kind of comedic presentation by Cracked or College Humor and the like are also popular. The Daily Show/Colbert Report are quite siftable too.
More subtly, unusual / comedic titles can be used to pique curiosity or emphasize the comedy. Here's a great example: http://videosift.com/video/Ernie-and-Bert-go-BALLISTIC
In short: play the percentages. Once you get your bronze star, it's all downhill from there.

This has been on here before....will search a bit and see if I can locate.

Well that's one way to assure fewer upvotes...

Shrug, I can't locate it. It's been on here before because I don't see College Humor videos anywhere but here on the sites I browse. Thought the point of this site was to show videos you might not see otherwise and cut back on reposts.


That's true, and if it is a dupe then by all means please point that out.

The problem is that calling it a dupe without any confirmation makes some people less likely to vote for the video even if it isn't really a duplicate post. I haven't seen this one before, so if the old one is gone for some reason then I'm glad this one was posted.

Call dupe if it's true, but please confirm that the old version still exists before posting about it.

hmm, it's working for me. College Humor seems to be like that sometimes unfortunately...>> ^eric3579:

Can't get it to play

I checked and it was working for me. It's a College Humor embed, I've added the break one as a backup.

Hi, are you sure your newest fix on the "Cat Playing a Shell Game" -video is working? It doesn't load for me

College Humor does everything you and your friends sit around talking about. Like how "what is Han didnt help luke" and other stuff.

How is everything on college humor so good?

Just for the record, I'm downvoting this because I didn't laugh. Other than that, it's dumb college humor.

I probably wouldn't even have watched or known about it, but it was mentioned in a sift talk post.

i know im not talking about the merits or talents of the artist in question, be they there or not... im talking about the way this was edited and presented as in context and not a produced mockery. I have no idea if this is even actually Ke$ha just because college humor says so.


I've read all of max's comments and i dont get the impression that they are forcing their opinion as anything other than that, and any reference to their own background is to provide information for your own consideration, not to brag.

max makes complete sense in this thread.

again, description for this sift from YT:
I got the audio of Kesha (or Ke$ha if you're a purist) from College Humor dot com. Then, I took the instrumental track of Your Love Is My Drug, pitched it down one half-step from the studio version to match her vocals, and layered her vocal track on top of it. - Tim burt
i have too much time on my hands but its because im so good at doing nothing. also shouldnt this be in different channel like parody or comedy? and shouldnt i be doing something more productive??


vaire2ube, What is your point? Somebody uploaded the raw feed from a live performance (here), then somebody else mixed it with the studio recording for context. It's not a parody.

Also, @raverman: You can shove your opinion of what is good and what is "merely" entertainment. I like Kesha's music. I am an adult human being with a bachelor's degree who has listened to a whole lotta music during my life, and performed quite a lot as well. If you don't like Kesha, that's fine. Everyone has their own musical tastes. But that is all they are: "tastes". Preferences. OPINIONS. You look like an idiot by pretending that you are all high and mighty and can dictate what is "art".

Dammit, why can't people just shut up and let others like what they like?

its a complex trick but some music fits this pattern inevitably.. still fun. 4 4 time maybe has something to do with it
