The 8 Most Alarmingly Adorable Baby Videos On The Web


And this isn't just an arbitrary decision here - each of these has at least 800K views on YouTube ("Charlie Bit Me" modestly topping out at a near 53mil). Whether they are laughing, cussing, telling their mother's that they only like them when they provide cookies, or shrieking in adorable British-accented pain...here are the 8 cutest baby videos on the internet - they don't even need Bob Saget voiceovers. Please dear God I hope I don't put videos of my children on YouTube...I hear that naked baby from the early 90s Nirvana album cover is struggling to get chicks in high school. Mash'em up with Searchles TV if you want to give it a go yourself. Yeah, it's that fun.

9 Real Interviews with Comedians Rarely Seen OUT Of Character


It honestly wasn't until I started seriously looking for Stephen Colbert interviews that I realized I had NEVER seen him out of character. I mean I can't even imagine the focus it takes to do an interview with Big Bill O'Reilly in character. My love affair with Stephen Colbert's wit aside - there are quite a few comedians that blur this line between fiction and reality...Sarah Silverman, Sasha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, so on and so forth - the common denominator being that they're clever as hell and they can get away with saying things in character that normal people can't...cheers. Do enjoy this collection of their best 'out of character' appearances that are entertaining in their own right, but also give good insight into how they feel about their onscreen personas. Mash up your own vids with Searchles TV mashup tools. Searchles TV is part of a well-balanced breakfast.

LOLTweets: Brought to you by Twitter Search, Tweets that Made My Day


I've been having a riproaring good time with Twitter Search lately - it's made it quite easy for me to tweet relevant searchles TV channels at unsuspecting twitterers via the newfound SearchlesTV twitter account. Par...tay. So I searched some of my most favorite topics - Steve Guttenberg, fruit roll-ups, etc... - and discovered that there are some entertaining folks out there shooting their thoughts out via twitter. And since I do like to include searchles tv channels in this here blog - a compilation of my favorite Yacht Rock webisodes are below. You can find this lovely mashup feature here on Searchles. Cheers.

The Many Faces of Sarah Palin: Best Palin YouTube Parodies


Well Tina Fey really took off with this crown Saturday night.* Even more exciting was the news that Sarah Palin actually dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween one year (the reverse did not occur because Tina Fey had not heard of Sarah Palin until a few short weeks ago). Not shockingly - others came before Tina Fey in portraying our favorite feisty Alaskan VP pick and spreading the spoofy love around YouTube. The 8 best are below - assembled with tender loving care using Searchles TV Remash mashup and online video-editing tools.

* Dear NBC, please leave this on YouTube? Please?

Top 9 Dancing Hippies Caught on Film (potentially by hippies themselves)


Dancing Hippies...while seemingly harmless at first, can suck your gaze in like none other. They're just so flowy, so rhythm-lacking, so existential, sometimes involving hula hoops. But they can't help themselves - the music and potential hallucinogenics have just taken control of them - just as they have taken control of your holy-crap-will-you-get-a-load-of-this-guy reflex. The top 9 dancing hippies on youtube, and possibly the world, are found here. Should you desire to make your own Searchles mashup, well then by all means...do go here.



1. Fat Stoned Hippie Dancing.
Where he is: Golden Gate Park...yeah, San Francisco.
Where he was in 1969: Listening to Ravi Shankar (alone) on a beanbag in his parent's basement in Florham Park, New Jersey.
Why he's special: His transition from the slow existential arm movements and poses to the spastic flailing of the legs is seamless...flawless...beautiful.

2. Hippies Dancing in a Circle
Where they are: Oh, San Francisco.
Where they were in 1969: Fetuses (feti?)...probably in suburban New Jersey.
Why they're special: These dudes so think they're gonna get laid later, probably by the chick in the green pants...always the green pants.

3. Stoned Hippie Crazy Dance
Where he is: Amidst a sea of hula hoops.
Where he was in 1969: Hopefully wearing shirts with sleeves, but probably not.
Why he's special: Because it looks like he was able to throw "stir the pot" into this beautiful dancing fusion. Not everyone can pull that maneuver off.

4. Dance Like No One's Watching
Where he is: Probably within 10 ft of a strong row of port-o-pottys. Most likely somewhere in Virginia.
Where he was in 1969: Altamont, tweaking out after a confrontation with a Hell's Angel.
Why he's special: High kicks, flexibility.

5. Amish Hippie Dancing-Go-Round
Where they are: An apple-butter festival?
Where they were in 1969: Still wearing skirts from 1869.
Why they're special: There are little hippies in training, and the camera-person is clearly finds their circular movements endearing.

6. Santa Cruz Hippie Dance
Where they are: HmmmmmSantaCruz
Where they were in 1969: Wearing flowers in their hair.
Why they're special: Jerry Garcia reincarnated is dancing with them. Unless he coined this look before Jerry Garcia, which is always a possibility.

7. USC Hippie Dancing
Where he is: USC Campus
Where he was in 1969: Shirtless.
Why he's special: A bum knee isn't going to stop him.



8. Bonnaroo Hippie Dancing
Where they are: Bonnaroo, Music Festival in Tennessee every June.
Where they were in 1969: They sure as hell wish they were around in 1969.
Why they're special: I mean this isn't really even hippie dancing - this is more 'white people dancing'. Sounds like Death Cab or something is playing...reeeeal alternative.

9. Final Hippie Dancing Video of the Day
Where he is: This looks like it could be on a high school football field.
Where he was in 1969: On a bad trip...for the whole year.
Why he's special: Sheer repetitiveness.

Top 10 Keanu Reeves Really Really Good Acting Moments


I'd like to take a moment to highlight the acting prowess of the better half of Wyld Stallyns. Now Keanu Reeves is studly as all get-out and can really deliver the sweet sweet emotional dialogue - but I must say the only characters he could ever actually sell to me were Ted (of Bill & Ted) and Johnny Utah (Point Break)...just sayin'. Now that he's been in the game for over 20 years we can go back and recall some stellar and/or memorable moments in Keanu Reeves entertainment career from both his movies and a few commercial appearances (in which I still sense some bad acting going down)... If you think you can do the same for the feller that played Bill Preston, Esq., go ahead and use Searchles TV mashup tool to do so.



1. Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey - Playing Against Death. Bill and Ted choose battleship as their competition of choice. The fear, anxiety, determination and stoner-ness wrapped into the line "G-3" is chill-inducing.

2. Point Break - "Caught my first tube this morning...Sir." It needs not embellishment.

3. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure - History Report. It's hard to have yourself taken seriously when your reference both Ozzy Osbourne and Led Zeppelin while introducing Socrates. Yet somehow we all learned something...

4. First Canadian International Teddy Bear Convention. Seriously I have no idea what the hell this is....absolutely no idea. But it takes place in Canada and is amazing.

5. Parenthood - "She hates my butt."
Strategic move on the Director of Parenthood to draw attention away from dialogue with tighty-whiteys.

6. Speed - "Cool"
about describes Keanu's composure during this high-octane action masterpiece. Except when Harry died but unfortunately I cannot find said clip.

7. The Matrix. "Guns."
Again, I wanted the "I know Ju Jitsu" line (which I should really credit to the writers as well) but it's unfortunately nowhere to be found on the 'tube'. Thankfully any line from Keanu will suffice.

8. Something's Gotta Give. He really had to nail this one to sell the whole Keanu Reeves actually pursuing Diane Keaton thing.

9. Corn Flakes Commercial.
Here he had to master juggling corn flakes boxes, dancing, putting on the 'enjoying the corn flakes but full-well knowing he's not supposed to be eating them' face.

10. NHL Ad - "Come and get it."
Trying to talk Americans into actually watching hockey. Best o'luck.
