Web Side Story

by Sheril Kirshenbaum

Recently CollegeHumor put out the funniest video I’ve seen on the internet in a long time… The dancing are singing are great and lyrics are both clever and hilarious!

I dedicate this post to Bora, PhysioProf, Isis, Vanessa, Arikia, and everyone I’ve had the pleasure of getting lost on the internet with.

Best line: ‘Pandora! I just found a site called Pandora… And suddenly equipped like I’m hanging out at hipster bars!‘

    I stopped listening to Pandora after I moved to Williamsburg for just that reason!

    Thats hilarious, But I must say I am disappointed they didn’t remake the knife fight scene. (mac vs PC users?)

    (mac vs PC users?)

    Ha! I love the way your creative marine biology mind works Kevin! Seems they left the violence and heartache out of this, but platform wars would’ve been awesome.

    Did you catch the mouse clicks in the intro instead of snapping? That was a nice touch.

    Very well done! I am especially taken with the leading lady and lad — and was disappointed that searching around CollegeHumor I couldn’t find the credits listing their names. I expect to see them popping up in “real” movies and want to keep an eye on them.

    my favorite line:

    “read the ads, and it’s almost like paying.”
