Since going .net.nz, there has been a new section on my blogroll dedicated to internet TV shows (previously populated by podcasts but I don’t listen to those anymore). I just added some more shows that I’ve subscribed to in Miro, but here’s the full list.
Channel Frederator
If you are a fan of cartoons as I am still then you’ll enjoy Channel Frederator. This isn’t your trashy animation either, they are some really good, high quality cartoons. Each episode has a bunch of animation shorts – they are either computer generated or drawn. Right now they have the Meth Minute 39 showing as well, which you may have seen the first episode of called Internet People.
Diggnation
This half-hour show has Digg creator Keven Rose and friend Alex Albrecht talk about some of the top stories on Digg for the week, while drinking beer (or alternative alcohol) and talking about anything. They were talking about holding a show in New Zealand for a total of two episodes recently, the second episode had some New Zealand girl leave them a message on Jangle with plenty of sexual overtones.
Jetset
Your “internet pop-culture source.” Anything big on the web, you’ll see it here. They are quite welcoming of their community too, having its own social networking site called Mix with discussions on the latest episode as well as world events. You will find some interesting websites from this weekly show.
Rocketboom
Another internet pop-culture and current events show. Every weekday you get your dose of whats going on in the world and on the web in a space of five minutes. Every Wednesday is field report day where Rocketboom correspondents from around the world show their side of major world headlines, and every Friday is known as Casual Friday where anything goes but current events.
Tiki Bar
An interesting monthly comedy show highlighting how great drinking is – especially when it contains spirits that are stirred, shaken or blended. Every episode follows a basic formula, something happens to one of the characters, or a new character, and Dr Tiki prescribes some form of cocktail to make everything fine again. The cocktail recipe is also made available on the website, with Johnny Johnny having his own cocktail blog with more recipes. Look in the archives for the Bunnies drinking game.
Cute with Chris
What can I say about this show? It has kittens! Actually, I can’t really describe this show. I can say that every week he presents some animals in the “Cutedown”, and sometimes have a “Teen Letters” segment that was one time replaced with “Angry Teen Letters.” But what he does in between can be anything – in his recent episode he was complaining about how everyone is named Chris, and in many previous episodes pointing out how different Canada is to America with unique TV shows like Canadian Idol and Canada’s Next Top Model. His catch phrase is “All your dreams are dead,” said to anything that wasn’t voted cute in the Cutedown, among other things. You have to watch a few episodes to get it as he has a very unique sense of humour.
Run Away Box
The only reason I put this on here is for their Man in the Box show. It’s very The Office-esque, but very funny. Last month they had a new episode every day, but it now comes in every week on Tuesdays. See how a guy who hates his office job lets the time pass by.
Smosh
These guys have the most subscribed YouTube channel of all time. And for good reason. They produce hilarious shows worthy of it. Recently they had a three-part story involving their breakup because Anthony couldn’t jump over a box because of Wii Tennis, so they went their separate ways with new partners – Anthony ending up with Phoung who can do cartwheels, and Ian with T-Bag who “killed three people already.” Why does Chris Crocker get all the publicity and own TV show when these guys should?
Cory “Mr. Safety” Williams
This guy has been popular in the YouTube community for some time (even with angry video posts), but was recently made really popular by his Mean Kitty song – his cat attacks every thing/one so they named him Sparta. He also produces some other funny songs and shorts.
Enjoy ‘em! They’re all to the right on the homepage for future reference.
