[caspromVX]

[tombirodotcom]

86 people think that Likes, retweets and new followers prove ROI, and that business goals are for losers.

[wildbloodydragon]

Welcome, 144666 viewer.

Oh wait, that's me.

[DrDumb002]

Huh. I guess Clerks 2 was right.

Kelly can be a guy's name too.

[memama2]

Anthony weiner answered this call to action! Result? Weiner whoops ~

[Cloud797]

Real douchebags are over 9,000 times worse.

[VirtualAssistantInc]

Even this kind of content is explained in youtube? LOL. You can truly search any topic with a corresponding video. Thanks to youtube and the internet.

[Jovan14606]

Simpsons did it!

[Jovan14606]

Bill O' Reilly FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pfive]

The guy comes across as a massive dick and does everything he decries in his video. Penis.

[smellincoffee]

The author is a douchebag for putting Trekkies in the same category as BIll O'Reilly. Hell, putting anyone in the same category as Bill'O is vaguely mean.

[SoMeMisfits]

Love it!

[curtmaly]

Great video! I justhad to leave a comment! Yep...GREAT!

[CasparWilson]

i love the way he says "yaaay"

[GusBulltamer]

Perhaps the best video on YouTube

[therealcarson]

dumb

[Unawakened]

[reinix]

Why are there no women in this?

[roxyquikchic]

@reinix cuz its from 2007 and its all pretty irrelevant

[ThePdickinson]

Just joking all you media guy's................please don't hate me!

[brokenToastable]

lol

[socialmediarant]

Sorry, most of us work are butt off at-least 10-14 hrs a day to help people and business get noticed. Every industry has it own ignorant sector. 

[uninspired123]

@socialmediarant shutup faggot lmao

[MooseOfReason]

I hate stuff.

[scarfacekt]

evolution. get over it! you can't stop people from using these platforms. as those haters... come with the package, i'm sorry about that.

[waaatwat]

YAAAAY

[danworthj]

It seems alot of yawning douchebags need a nap.

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

Yawn, jeezuz this blew.

[crashrus]

LIke most things in life, we laugh because it's funny, we laugh because it's true.

[RamonAllnightlong]

yawn

[JoelyRighteous]

Brilliant. Earn't a place on the Words Douchebags Say wall of fame

[chiquitabee]

im going to tweet this now.

[brocasbrain]

I invented tagging

[tomanyasses]

99% of the media in usa are the douchbags usa is now run by criminals and the news is corrupt white haters

[invisible1988]

By making this video and posting it on youtube you are not part of new media. Congrats.

[Medijuana420]

And what type of douche bag is it that co-opts the Krispy Kreme font for their logo? Oh, the same type that bitches about bloggers and new media on a blog called Cinnamon Pants. That explains it.

[Medijuana420]

Pete is a tool who is unable to adapt to change

[bummercucumber]

Wow.

[robotron3k]

well said.

[ILikeExoticStuff]

It's even funnier because the author is actually doing everything on the list.

1. One can argue that this video is not 'real work'

2. He is talking and writing about stuff with a large volume of 121,423 views.

3. Hates new media douches...and is telling us.

4. 'Yay!'

Plus he is being a Debbie Downer.lol And if I ever forget what he hates, I can visit his youtube page.

"Yaaaay!"

[Danzerfaust]

@ILikeExoticStuff satire and irony are tough concepts to grasp, huh?

[colamonstrosity]

Spot on! These people love to blog on some hate and never act on anything. Reels in traffic, right?

[nephildevil]

i bet u hate new media douchebags

lmao

[NassimHarameinVedas]

LOL . . . job well done.

Would love to hear my favoritve comedian, Bill Hicks' rant on new media "douchebags" and mediocre hacks all over the media like reality TV and other garbage created to occupy the minds of the consumer wage slaves.

In any case, this video pretty much sums it up.

In some twisted way, people derive some sad sense of sense-gratification aka "feeling of importance" through pointless sites like twitter.

Other than food or sex, feeling important is the 3rd strongest desire.

[twistinthunder]

you forgot :

5) talk people down.

and

6)ch4t 1n 1337 5p34k

[pfjb123]

@twistinthunder and people who use words like LOL, ROFL, ROFLMAO, LMAO and so on.

[MarkMillionaireGuru]

Hi kelstew2

I always enjoy watching your videos and I will be back again to watch more soon as they really are of top quality.

Cheers to your success.

Mark McCulloch

[addy75d]

Nice video , good presentation of new new media , lot of experts you will find on ezdia providing online advices on this, You like to take advices from the experts at ezdia

[tomfleminge]

ha! this is true about alot of points and people i know

[policejoey]

holy crap that's alot of website stuff O_O

[bethebutterfly]

Why would you bother to take the time to create a video on that if you weren't exactly the same thing Kelly, With all due respect, the world is a mirror.

[jlo52bubbles]

So isn't he a new media douche bag??

eh whatever.

[ZeranZeran]

Sounds like someones a little butt hurt that they found an easier and more fun way to do things. Get over it and convert to web 2.0 old-timer.

[jessicafriendlyRSH]

Lmao Thanx @nickasaur!

[gamerzchik]

ouch lol. Im in a new media program in university for graphic design, film and 3d animation

[n0a4]

i know so many new media douchebags

[TheMargaritaSweet]

I love it!

[PlanetAbiola]

Hilarious!

[williamw404]

Talk about a douche bag! I love it when the smartest guy in the room talks.

[ceemitchable]

Add to the NMDB list o things to do:

Hold your I-phone so you can see it -- and manipulate the apps -- WHILE "pretending" to talk to someone!

[MohanndasChutney]

Technologically enabled Douchebaggery has been around forever. The signal to noise ratio has only gotten worse as increasingly affordable and easier to use tools allow the "densa than Mensa" set to bang on and argue about all sorts insignificant subjects.

The problem isn't technology, but rather, the people. All that noise is the price of democracy and a free press, but if you have to pay, then you just have to pay.

[Nicked01]

RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! Haha someone got hurt!

[Nicked01]

This sucks I have to be drunk to watch this and i laugh at everything wen im drunk im so drunk i dnt even knw y im writing this who are you i need my woody then im gona drink some vodka straight because coke and vodka is 4 pusys.

[microgeist]

Great commentary a lot of social media gurus just spew, which is a shame new technologies create new opportunities, but as the video states, there is work involved.

[BBonadea]

It's been MONTHS since I first saw this and I still freaking love it.

Our NMDB is extra irritating me for not returning a phone call, so I come here for comic relief.

[wordman]

if you hate all these new things, and you're talking about it on the internet, then aren't you a new media douchebag, too?

[WATCHINGTHEMICROWAVE]

You know, I was totally thinking the same thing.

[nonconsciousable]

You said that "new media" as a term has been hijacked. Are you sure it's just that Flash and Macromedia weren't "new" anymore? They've been around long enough that something's replaced them as "new" even if it's not a full replacement. Terms evolve: welcome to the web.

[LanceCampeau]

I love this because it makes me feel good about hating just about everything...

[Sidious66]

YAAAAAY!!

[bghcomedy]

This is fucking awesome. Love how vindictive it is.

-Jenny

[pivotclips]

Lol all those described sXephil

[HowieFeelin]

O the irony

[kabongpope]

this rocks!

[supercoolcreative]

Ha! Classic

[Chavalierdeon]

???

[colster4life]

Give me a new media douchebag over a tabloid hack any day!

[CMNireGaming]

paste this to 2 other videos

go to your channel and see your comments

JUST DO IT IT'S SCARY!!

[zombiedome]

A nation that begins by governing itself as a republic will only be sustained by virtues because, in order to attain the most, one must always start with the least. But an already old and decayed nation which courageously casts off the yoke of its monarchical government in order to adopt a republican one will only be maintained by many crimes; for it is criminal already, and if it were a pacific, benign condition, it should fall into an inertia whose result would soon be its certain ruin.

[burnmetodeath]

Ironic how much of a new media douchebag kelstew2 is for making this video.

[coltononline]

Yeah, that was the same observation, albeit obvious, I was going to make. I guess this genius didn't see it though. What a boob!

[burnmetodeath]

I like boobs.

[brokenToastable]

@burnmetodeath lol true

[LITSOUL1]

this is a joke and a GENERALITY. Who do YOU work for? Corporate media?? Remember free speach and the US consitiution?" Poeple have the freedom to judge for themselves.

[utilitypigeon10]

That clears it up.

[buddhajapan]

agree w/ everything except the bill o'reilly comment. o'reilly is one of the few media persons who actually holds the gov't accountable instead of flossing w/ obama's nut hairs.

[MatchCard]

I guess everyone is a douche bag in someway?

YAY!

lol

[Theronguardaaah]

jack ass

[dragonfliesmusic]

Haha...so true

[wdkilla]

YAY!!

[Studiostrooz]

Hang on - so multimedia developers had total ownership of the term New Media? Surely new Media is any media which is new, you fucking NERD! I can't even start to explaining how stupid this post is... the whole thing stinks of new media douchebaggery!! In fact, by posting this and being an angry hater yourself, you have proven yourself to be a very new media douchebag! Idiot! now fuck off. I thank you.

[joexhorton]

Doesnt one become a new media douchebag for hating new media douchebags?

[realshiznit]

Indeed

[tfujiwara1]

ok i propose we create a youtube list of new media douchebags...PLEASE COPY and PASTE as you add on to the list...i'll start.

1) sxephil

2) fred

3) whatthebuck

[1schwererziehbar1]

check out the archetype of the new media douchebag! his youtube channel is "renetto".

[1schwererziehbar1]

lol this is so true.

but really not all trekkies are douchebags.

[lucidiquedreams]

lol good stuff XD

[BBonadea]

When you got to the part about not returning phone calls, I almost died!

[hquillin]

I agree with mdot2theg, Funny and True, but I wouldn't call my self that. This video is my first Amost Twitter, I was looking for a home where a lot of people visited, although it was not custom taylored for your video, I hope you will give it access to your many viewer, I only have about 40-50 that see my video work. HarOLD

[mdot2theg]

I am taking New Media in post secondary stuff. I find it funny as hell! In fact remember hearing all of those accounts near the end. We had to make an account in almost all of them, ah second life. This was funny and true. I wouldn't call myself a douche though..well..not all the time... great video! it made me LOL

[hquillin]

"Funny and True, but I wouldn't call my self that" agree totally. I only post on YouTUBE but try to attach my videos to get more viewers. HarOLD

[Torley]

People get angry about his because it's true.

[joeduck]

You, YOU dang ddddDouchbag hater!

[LittleMrL]

i don't get. Is he calling certain people douche bags or is he calling those media sites douche bags.

[easyandyy]

Your cleverly self-promotional video, while lacking any real content except the supposed requirement of "hating on things" you describe is seemingly just a pitch to get some hits. Also, might want to delete your rss feed, videocast, twitter...etc. I'm surprised you don't serve ad's...or is that also douchey?

Irony is a dish best served luke warm and you've put this shit in the freezer.

[dave225]

how old is this? I thought we were well beyond the hype curve of pointing out people's pointing out of others' douchebaggerieness. Or have we gone full circle again past pointing out the waste of time it is to comment on other people's douchiness? Guess so. It's so hard to keep up with internet memes. (We're done saying 'teh internets', right?)

[quigleymonster]

hahahaha....that was pretty funny. I love the Bill O'Reilly reference as that guy is such a douche bag!!

[obscenegrace2003]

I hate to sound like a New Media Douchebag here but most of you sound too dumb to appreciate that the guy is well aware of the irony...He's certainly pointing the finger at himself here. This video expresses a deep nihilistic self-loathing and frustration at the inefficacy of the web as a means for political agency, identity creation, virtual communities, etc. And it still manages to be funny.

Get over yourselves and laugh; it's good for you.

[qwertisdirty]

does adam carolla fall into that category?

[kenzaburo]

So...this is the kind of video you make when you lose your job because you don't have the talent to keep up with the big boys?

Dead on.

[kaushalonline]

this video sucks. what kinda douchebag made it.

;)

[Aqualeader5]

I hate the word douchebag

[intarwebzz]

amen

[shanenonanooo]

I love the term douchebag. I use it frequently.

[Snomagic]

this is actually true,

[PedanticBohemian]

Here I was thinking I was a writer networking with other writers when all this time, I'm one of these "New Media" folks. Thanks for the cool job title to add to my resume. lmao

[gijoemike]

this is not in plain english.

[tripperday]

"Third, be sure to hate a lot of stuff - and tell folks!"

...says the guy posting a whiny little youtube video.

[jamasiel]

YOU TOLD HIM.

[karflooie]

One too many thumbs up.

[mattb4rd]

This is hilarious because it's truth.

Brilliant!

5*'s and a subscribe.

[mesreejith]

lol ! So true. Loved it.

[nashworld]

Double irony: on YouTube... and in COmmonCraft format.

fail.

[paulbalcerak]

Loved it. Thanks for the laugh.

[zeitgeistMovement1]

so are you a new media douchebag as well? or do you get a pardon because you are exposing how pathetic some of the new media douchebags are.

whether you are one of the pathetic ones or not, YOU are still a new media douchebag too. sorry bud.

[retrozim]

No, he's someone who makes videos for fun...and doesn't do any of the 4 things he listed...

[WiVaBo]

Let's see...

He hates New Media Douchebags and decided to tell us all about it in his YouTube Channel.

He does exactly the things he listed.

Don't get me wrong. I liked the video. But you can't deny the irony.

[jamasiel]

YOU BURNED HIM GOOD.

[justinRkeaton]

hmmm like sxe phil, and um that trippy charlie lol , and yes i know what his name is supposed to be,

[batitombo]

???????????

Lol, why you youtube then, youtube is the big daddy of the new media douchebag

[hannahm82]

Yay! More new media exposes please!

[oppositronic]

ironic how you put this on Youtube

[escritorojo]

I think you got the concept right. I consult to small and medium size OFFLINE business owners (they have websites, but sell products and services offline). The idea that signing up for "new media" channels and spending their time or hiring someone to play in this arena will substantially increase sales is a joke. Their customers don't look for them this way. IT IS A WAY to generate more backlinks and increase their page rank, but there are other efficient ways to do so.

But douche-bag? Not nice

[jeepndesert]

you're the douche bag

[Universalcorps]

last time I checked, I was not a douche or a bag.

[dr3adah1ing]

is anyone posting here actually a journalist? i mean, the target audience is definitely journalists, and as one, i found it hilarious.

[laughingfurry]

Attention whores. You forgot attention whores. They're new media douche bags as well.

[goodreverend]

I don't mind hypocrisy if it's funny. This isn't funny.

[mozigirl]

That looks like Trent from pinkisthenewblog. lol

[mattmcegg]

i'm TOTALLY adding this to my blog

[Gpocialik]

Sounds like homey is a new media douchebag himself. I must also be a new media douchebag cause I am hating on this douchebag.

[garick]

This is too hilarious. Now please subscribe: twitter. com/ ilovegarick

[primetimeray]

gonna drop a bomb on ya, Kelly: this video is an example of itself.

[metalryo666]

Hey,you know what?

French people loooove to celebrate new media douchebag....maybe because they're stupid.....

[illuminatedmorons]

hey....... i dont know if anyone told you.

NOW YOUR A MEDIA DOUCHBAG.

LOL.

[kristeclectic]

*you're

[illuminatedmorons]

oh... right... spelling. i guess noone understood me.

you understood thats why you corrected me. your so SMART. you must be the only one who knew what i was talking about. glad you corrected me.

still. seems needless.

[kristeclectic]

*you're so SMART

[illuminatedmorons]

again. stating the obvious. what other tricks do you do?

[badkitty3804]

do U do, you mean.

[kimpira]

He's not smart, you're just below average.

[seechrns]

Oh you basket! SO true but I can larf at me self... arf arf, as I was the BEFORE in the story. The Cure, I moved out of my mother's and got me a fresh off da boat hottie! Hating the world don't mean sheeet once you got some lurrrrrrrrrve in ya life even if it's only for the Green Card. So come on ppl Cure the Hate, get/give a New Media Douchbag some ass!!!

[MaDdoX1337]

Holy shit, Im a new media douchebag!!

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

Funny, it doesn't take long for you radical liberal haters to reveal yourselves - and then you throw in Bill Reilly, lol. Your a group of unhinged whack jobs - festering with hate- yeahhhhh!

[mrdatter]

You spelled "yay" wrong.

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

mrdatter: Yes, I did spell "yay" wrong - not that I use this word in my normal correspondence - I also spelled "you're" wrong - didn't catch that one did ya! Thanks for clearing things up :)

[p0lyamorous]

now who's festering with hate? hhhmmmmmmm?

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

p0lyamorous: if you think my comment is "festering with hate", how do you describe a planned, produced video, uploaded to YouTube about new media douchebags - that randomly and solely names Bill O'Reilly - arguably old media - seemingly so out of context?

nice, u really hit home
