If you only watch one video out of the Dark Knight PSA series on YouTube, make it this one.

Julia Nunes
For whatever reason, I’ve really been into Julia Nunes lately. Crystal introduced me to her mostly Uke oriented covers on YouTube a few months back and she ping ponged around in my brain until a week ago. While she does some solid originals, the standout tracks — for me at least — are her covers.
Since she doesn’t have any backup singers, she actually records herself singing vocal harmonies where necessary and cuts the videos together to achieve the desired effect. It’s pretty clever and makes me smile a whole bunch — so I’m hopeful that you’ll enjoy it too.

Macbook Air vs. Girl Talk
As far as I’m concerned, this video is absolute genius. Of course, I might be a bit partial due to the fact that I’m totally in love with the new Girl Talk album — but that’s really beside the point.

Vern Fonk
I find that one word sums these commercials up better than anything else: Shipoopi!

True Love Won’t Desert You
I just have to go on record and say that this shot for shot recreation of the video for Journey’s “Separate Ways” is seriously the best thing that I’ve seen all week. If you even sort of like Journey, you owe it to yourself to stop everything you’re doing and soak all of its majesty in right this second.

ZeFrank On Privacy
Man, it sure is good to have Ze back — even if he is only updating once a week while the WGA strike is going on.

Fonejacker
After watching something yesterday on YouTube — which ended up being pretty forgettable in the end — I managed to stumble onto Channel 4’s Fonejacker. As someone who grew up on stuff like The Jerky Boys, I ended up consuming every one of them I could get my grubby little mitts on. I think what I like about them more than anything else is that they’re updated to cover topics like 419 scammers, outsourced cold callers and voice activated help services. Seriously, if you watch nothing else on YouTube this week, at least give these a go.
P.S. There’s two more videos for your viewing pleasure after the jump.

Hotel Yorba… On A Bus
Despite the fact that a few members of the audience get on my nerves a bit — shouty guy, I’m looking at you — here’s a great bit of footage from The White Stripes recent performance on a Winnipeg City Bus. Despite its shortcomings, it’s definitely worth sharing.

Dramatic Prairie Dog, I Love You
I have all sorts of pretty videos loaded up on my iPhone in case I’m asked to demo it at all — like the Sony Bravia Ball Advert — but I’ve found that the most popular video seems to be the one I’ve got embedded above and gets loaded from my YouTube client. I guess humor wins out over pretty 9 times out of 10.
Bonus Clip: Kill Bill Remix!

Flight Of The Living Dead
Snakes on a plane? That shit is straight up played out, yo. Zombies on a plane tho? Now that’s something I can get behind!
This trailer makes “Flight Of The Living Dead” (formerly “Plane Dead”) look so horrible that it might end up being hilarious. Fighter jets that are obviously models? Hello Ed Wood! Firing machine guns inside an airliner at 30,000 feet? Holy suspension of disbelief, Batman!
Honestly, if I didn’t love zombies and B movies and I saw this trailer, I’m pretty sure I would be out. So it’s a good thing that I do, I guess… ;)
I guess the burning question for me is, when in the hell is this coming out?
