Hey, have you seen this online video yet? It’s awesome!
How many times have you said that to a friend?
SeenItYet.com grew out of such conversations. Seen it yet dot com is a brand new video online sharing site that aims to filter out the “junk” and just serve up the good stuff, so you can spend less time searching and more time laughing.
Yeah, yeah, right. A lot of internet video sharing sites promise the same thing but they’re still loaded down with crapola. What makes Seen It Yet different?
Seen It Yet relies exclusively on member rankings and only well-liked videos stay. If enough folks vote that it “sucks” instead of “rocks,” that video is history.
So what’s left?
Some pretty good stuff. I just spent about two hours (called it research) looking through their selection and I’m giving Seen It Yet a big gold star.
My favorite was the rap version of “Stay at Home Dad,” a video I thought I’d hate judging by its description and thumbnail. But ya know, I gotta do my research so you know where the best video sites are…so I sacrificed and watched. I laughed my ass off. It was very clever and quite a homage to fatherhood.
“Uh oh, uh oh, he leaked on his belly. Uh oh, uh oh, looks like mustard and jelly.”
Being a mommy myself, I found it rather sweet. The production value was high, so “Stay at Home Dad” was absolutely as good as internet video gets.
“Terrifying Batman” cracked me up too, even though it suffered from poor lighting. (Don’t let your lights reflect in the background glass, that threw your exposure way off.) The clever satirical script made up for the crummy lighting.
Then there was the commercial for Guinness Beer that got banned and never saw the light of commercial TV. Ummm, can definitely see why the censors didn’t like this one. But every heterosexual man under the age of 110 will love it!
SeenItYet was founded in January ’08, in Downtown L.A., by veteran online video creators, James McFadden and Tyler McFadden of GoPotato TV.
The Los Angles studios of Go Potato TV have been producing some mighty hilarious Internet video for quite some time and the folks there decided to branch out with Seen It Yet. Both sites can provide you a good hearty chuckle with quality internet video.
So gave have a jolly good time watching videos online!
