Oh how we love Video of the Week posts on the Identity blog. It gives us an excuse to sift through all the nonsensical and wacky videos on the Internet to find one worthy of donning the treasured Video of the Week title. Although some of us, [cough] Brandon Chesnutt [cough], spend way too many weekly hours outside of Video of the Week searches watching ridiculous YouTube videos.
Every holiday season, the Identity team looks forward to coming up with a new way to tell our clients, partners, friends and family how much we appreciate them.
Let me start off with this disclaimer: I am not a Star Wars fan. I haven’t seen any of the movies, and I’m totally fine with that. So obviously, I am not the one who found this amusing video. Please thank sci-fi nerd Brandon Chesnutt for this discovery.
You definitely don’t have to be a Star Wars enthusiast to get a good laugh from this video. A dad recorded his son and daughter watching The Empire Strikes Back for the first time and reacting to Luke Skywalker finding out that Darth Vader is his father. The looks on the four-year-old son’s face are priceless during the revelation. He switches from astonishment, to confusion, to anger and finally to a blank stare of disbelief. He’ll fondly (or embarrassingly) look back on this when he’s older and thank his good old dad for capturing the moment on camera.
The Huffington Post recently shared a link to a supercut containing scenes from movies that featured the World Trade Center. With Manhattan’s skyline forever changed after the terrible events of 9/11, it’s strange to look back and see that those iconic structures had made an appearance in dozens and dozens of films since the 1970s.
Happy Friday! We’re capping off the week with a video that is making its rounds on the Internet – Anderson Cooper’s giggle fest.
As part of his RidicuList, Anderson shares news that French actor Gerard Depardieu is accused of urinating on a plane. After several back-to-back puns with intermittent chuckles, Anderson can no longer keep it together after saying the plane’s cleaning crew should be thankful it wasn’t “Depar-two” (as in going #2 – get it, get it?). All hope of nicely wrapping up this rant-filled segment is totally lost at this point.
