[KeTeVemCovers]

[artofbrowneyedgirl]

[kenrg]

Chad is one funny SOB, ain't he?

[herbg3]

@kenrg visit my site no person committee dot o r g - all about this hyena

[TheDouglasWay]

Haha, that last "it's about funny cat videos" cracked me up! xD

[ILUVNERDSLIKEFOB]

that made me laugh so hard

[empiredoomer]

tell chad stop with WMG they are stopping ppl to putting vids on youtube

[nameofthepen]

I'm just wondering how he's going to spend that 30 pieces of silver he got for selling out to Google the Enforcer.

[klaatu42]

Bahahaha. I AGREE!

[ockteby]

Currently looking for a funny cat. Not many of those in the High Country. :-)

Frank

[kenrg]

Sometimes a funny dog will do.

[citizenstand]

ha!

[filemen2]

Wait, I'm confused ...

Where is the part in Chad's hair, exactly??

[kenrg]

That's not his hair, it's a funny cat.

[LeSaMilano]

shucks. I need a cat. Does he mean the video needs to be funny or the CAT needs to be funny? Not all cats have good comic timing. :/

[kenrg]

Good point - We'll all have to write to Chad and ask for clarification!

[fehquig]

OK, I lied. I did make one or two...

[kenrg]

And now you'll make some more!

[fehquig]

I have never made a funny cat video... Maybe THAT is where I went wrong :)

[kenrg]

I had a cat, but he died. I'll never make another popular video.

[captainfury2007]

Nailed it.

[kenrg]

Great material makes the editing easy.

[cooksterz]

Uhhhmmm...  "uh-huh yeah" bite me :D LOL

[kenrg]

Errrr.... (pause). Yeah.

[DanceExperiment]

now i know why i dont have thousands of subscribers, it's because i don't have a cat to make funny cat videos!!

[kenrg]

We're going to start a cat borrowing program. Several vloggers go in together on a kitty.

[bearchay889]

He must have been over the support/bugs part of the site since he has no idea what's going on great edit.

[kenrg]

He knows exactly what's going on - It's about funny cat videos!

[blackturtleshow]

Some of my most successful videos have been funny cat videos. Tarantulas do pretty well too! LOL

[kenrg]

I think the donkeys were pretty great.

[ChristopherMast]

Just like Pornhub... it's all about pussy

[kenrg]

Now THAT makes sense.

[anakin1814]

It may be about cat videos, but I noticed somebody walking a dog in the background.

A bit of this reminded me of the Gollum/Smeagal conversation in The Two Towers.

[kenrg]

... but I cut out the part where he kept talking about his "precious..."

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Kenrg,

How many funnycat videos are Partners?

[kenrg]

Is that a trick question? All of them?!

[Blargaldalien]

The trick is ,is to find the trick of the tale...

[JimmerSD]

Hey! It's also about tweens with squeaky high voices!

[kenrg]

Well, don't tell me - Tell Chad!

[PaintedRavensong]

and..don't forget the funny cat videos...hehehe Great job, Ken!

[kenrg]

It certainly explains the decrease in my viewership since my cat died. Gotta get another one...

[jrsnyderjr]

um...it's about funny cat videos?

Great edit Ken.

[kenrg]

With great material like that, the edits come naturally.

[andymooseman]

So, lets get this right. Funny cat videos break down cultural boundaries?

So, that's where we are going wrong in Afghanistan & Iran etc?

Great edit btw Ken.

That prog is a great project. I've commented on their earlier blogs, trying to get them to recognise vlogging. Looks like we just lost out to the funny cat videos again though.

[kenrg]

So, are you saying that what we need to do is to drop thousands of cats out of airplanes onto Afghanistan and Iran?

[andymooseman]

Ken: Well it certainly confuse them, wouldn't it?

Well, if we can get them all watching funny cat videos, we can sneak up on them when they least expect it ;)

[filemen2]

Of course! Who doesn't love lolcats??

[anakin1814]

You mean, Cat & Funny? Yeah, they make good videos too! LOL

[andymooseman]

Gary: If they changed their name to Fuuny Cat they'd get some more views & Chad Hurley might even start watching them!

[darkflamestudios]

He knows what its all about...

[kenrg]

It's all about $1.65 billion to him ;^)

[nbwulf]

Fantastic! (=

[kenrg]

Thanks!

[PappyStu]

I never thought of cats as funny... oh ephifamy!

This is why Pappy is a boring tuber!!!

Wow I'll go steal cats... Wala!!!!

[kenrg]

As long as you tape yourself stealing the cats, it's a great idea!

[NewProductions]

Ken did you know it's all about funny cat videos?

[kenrg]

I had a sneaking suspicion it was, but now I'm sure.

[BasicModelling]

Somehow I think it's all about funny cat videos.. what a shame I don't have a funny cat! :)

[kenrg]

Borrow one from a neighbor!

[BasicModelling]

Good idea.. they all have about 4 or 5 each.. and they ALL use our flowerboarders for their conveniance..

The cats, that is! Not the neighbours.. :)

[Annaconda1984]

(-:P

[kenrg]

Thanks!

[MidiPunk]

I need a cat.

[kenrg]

So do I.

[Rikotistic]

Wow! Kewl. Do they allow users to edit themselves into the videos as if they are asking the questions?

[kenrg]

I think that's allowed - I think you can do pretty much anything as long as it's "non-commercial" and you pass along the share-alike license. Check out the link, there's lots of great interviews and other footage to use!

[ThOverdrive]

Take that Chad Hurley!

[kenrg]

He knows what it's all about!

[bohogirl1]

snorting into my morning yogurt.

george was some cat.

[kenrg]

Thanks - George was the best. Now clean up that yogurt, it's going everywhere.

[MusicOttawa]

And, yet, you managed to get a dog in your video...

[kenrg]

I've never been good at being popular.

[MrBibber]

I want to make a funny cat Video now! :(

But I dont have a cat? :(

[kenrg]

No cat? How did you get past the screeners during the membership application process?

[MrBibber]

because of funny cat videos :P

[OhCurt]

I feel oddly compelled to make a funny cat video now.

[kenrg]

You're very good at that!

[anakin1814]

Well, if you're going to bath another one, I have some unsolicited advice for you!

[OhCurt]

If you give me your leftover pizza, you can talk all you want. The sound of my own chewing will drown you out.

;-P

[anakin1814]

Funny, that's what I cleaned up for supper tonight! Too late! *urp!*

[OhCurt]

poop

[CrappyCartoons]

too bad that's a dog walking outside in the background. If only it had been a cat this video would go viral.

[kenrg]

Or if the dog were taking a big stinky dump... while on a skateboard!

[BGenerous]

It's not JUST about funny cat videos. It's about getting hit in the nuts and booty shaking too.

[kenrg]

Thumbs up for booty shaking!

[joness105639]

Its about funny cat videos xD

[kenrg]

Ummm... Uhhh....
