From the very beginning of the ItsJustSomeRandomGuy channel on YouTube, the RandomVerse has been continually expanding. The Randoms' tendency to try new things and explore new ideas is both heavily documented in previous ItsJustSomeRandomFanSite blogs as well as easily apparent in their first 101 videos. Adding new characters, starting new spin-off series, and dreaming up new types of parodies has simply been an integral part of the journey that started more than three years ago.
Enter RandomVid #102. My March 6, 2010 article on ItsJustSomeRandomGuy's age put a spotlight on the RandomVerse's several and frequent game changers. "Hi, I'm TWILIGHT and I'm TRUE BLOOD" definitely goes on the list.
I wasn't the first to post this video on this fan site; ExiaBlade was. Below is his review, as well as the video, originally posted here in the RandomForum.
It sucks that I haven't been attending the weekly get-togethers, but I can't really do anything about it right now. But at least I can be involved by doing this.
I loved this vid! Not just for being funny, but one of their most creative vids, which is saying something considering how creative they are. It's hard to decide which skit was the funniest, though the vharmony one might be my favorite. And of course, gotta give it up for Randomgal taking center stage as the respective love interests. Oh and give it up for the game show host, "Gee, I hope no one curses me with immortal SEXINESS!!!"
All in all, brilliant, and I love the variety they've been giving us with more and more of thse vids. Nothing can stop this random train!
On a last note, I know that some RandomFans may feel a bit uneasy trying to get used to this non-Marvel/DC fare. In the ground-breaking dawn of a new era, remember a few things: 1) The Marvel/DC parody is by no means in its twilight! 2) This new moonlighting practice could lead us to more and more exciting franchises never before parodied! 3) The fact that this video features a crappy book series adaptation is eclipsed by its hilarity! 4) From its inception, the RandomVerse has been described by this fan site as: "where the fans, videos, and worlds of ItsJustSomeRandomGuy and Gal collide." The glove still fits. Make mine Random!
...and the Randoms knock one out of the park!!!
With 99 YouTube videos in the can, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy walked off with a grand slam home run of a 100th video Monday afternoon. Simply put, "Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC: The Musical" is an instant landmark video for the RandomVerse. Representing past, present, and future superhero films, it totally epitomizes the Marvel/DC rivalry, and in song, no less! Will someone please call up Julie Taymor?
It's nice to finally see this at the top of their video pages:
Technically a Marvel/DC: Round Four video, this one blows most "Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm DC" videos out of the water. Read why in the full review after the jump.
Last Tuesday's broadcast was quite the eclectic one.
For the second year in a row, RandomGal wore bunny ears throughout the broadcast before Easter. (Remember, kids: whenever you do something twice in a row, it instantly becomes tradition.) Here she is, displaying what it'd look more like if she were really a Playboy bunny.
Exchanging Diet Coke for some stronger stuff:
Always looking for new ground to cover, we somehow got on the topic of math and school and stuff. In response... *RandomCat headcouch*
Heeeeeeeeeeeeere's RandomGuy!!!
...making fart noises...
...doing Shatner's Rocket Man...
...and beatboxing.
Will Broadcast #63 see a similarly broad range of topics discussed? We'll just have to see what tonight holds.
Welcome fellow RandomFan Kevin Holsinger to the front page! He's written a pretty lengthy review of Zero Hour #2 in his own unique way. Enjoy!
Hello, RandomFans.
Well, spideymouse asked me if I’d be interested in writing a review of the latest Random video:
I’ve never done an online review before, and never even contemplated the idea until contacted by the Big SM. So what you’re about to read is more of an experiment than the work of a seasoned reviewer. As such, this won’t be a traditional review. Instead, I’m going to try this as if the cast-members of the Randomverse (in this case, Gobby and Lars) were doing a DVD/Blu-Ray audio commentary of the Random episode. This way, I can discuss the actual video while simultaneously building upon what I’m familiar with from my Random Quickie work in the forums:
After a weekend that saw the extensively long casting drama of Captain America finally come to an end, the ItsJustSomeRandomGuy and Gal decided to take some time out of their busy schedules to sit around their Macbook and broadcast a little show on blogTV.com. If you don't know who RandomGuy and Gal are, that they broadcast every week, and that they are always busy making new YouTube videos with Marvel and DC action figures, then you must have found this fan site very randomly, and I welcome you! Still, if you weren't at the weekly show this past Tuesday, at least I can share some highlights with you...with pictures!
In what has become a tradition of sorts, the show started with only one of the Randoms present, while the other was off taking care of some business somewhere. This time, it was the male Random. He kicked the show off with an appreciative shout-out to a RandomFan named TacoKing, who had just sent them a package of three action figure donations--a new Harley Quinn, a new Robin, and a new Nightwing! I wasn't able to get a good screenshot of the Robin figure (which is awesome), so I added a picture I found online:
Once again, we got to see them take swigs of Diet Coke in between talking about Captain America, Twilight, Rifftrax, and Ed Norton's 'The Incredible Hulk' movie from 2008:
At last, it became 10pm PST, their targeted end time, and so of course they stuck around until 10:40pm before they finally stopped broadcasting. They've been working so hard and pretty much non-stop for the past few months, so it's still very incredible that they take so much time out for their fans. We really appreciate it, and actually wish that they took less time out so that they can sleep:
One big thing to note from the broadcast was their announcement that they will be posting a new video on YouTube soon, probably by the end of the week! So keep your eyes open and keep refreshing on the ItsJustSomeRandomGuy channel!
As promised, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy and Gal delivered a new video on YouTube this morning. Don't be the last one see it, unless you're watching it repeatedly, in which case you're choosing to constantly be the last one to see it.
This marks the very first promotional video featuring 2009's breakout character: Deadpool. And boy, does it deliver! Spoofing the recent Old Spice commercials (which are already kind of spoofs themselves), this video is great on so many levels.
From Wade Wilson's (EmperorWade's) blog: "As most of you know deadpool watch Tv just as much as i do. and most like uses what ever the tv tell him to. wait a min I'm going to C2E2 as deadpool and I will most likly hit on girls there could this happin to me?
after watching it 3 time there something rare in this video a pregnant barbie and uncle ben in the cort room. there a hidden joke in the cortroom try to find it."
Here's like, the fifth blog I've done in like, five days. So am I like, getting time and a half for this, or...?
The following is a predominantly pictorial review of the last broadcast of the first full year of Random blogTV shows. The next one will be like a Brand New Day! (Don't worry, we'll be staying in continuity.)
-RandomGuy kicked us off by steering the ship solo while RandomGal was off doing something offscreen, and he showed us the unopened copy of "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths" that he had just purchased that day. Apparently, the DC Animated Features they buy come with little action figures in them, which is pretty appropriate, given the business that the Randoms are in:
Cool Owlman figure! Wonder if we'll see him in a future RandomVideo?!
-RandomGal eventually showed up with a two-liter bottle of Diet Coke, from which they took turns taking swigs. Since the 2009 RandomAwards After Party, they've become quite a bit more comfortable eating and drinking in front of their viewers. I don't remember what RandomGal's explanation for being late was, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, here's a shot of RandomGal taking a swig:
"Trench coat sale?"
"Hospital."
"Sorry, I just meant to wing you."
"There's our little trooper. When we get out of here, you can have all the ice cream you want."
"Oh God, wasn't there security at the door?"
"Well sure, but hey, you know me... PA-CHOO PA-CHOO!"
"How the HELL did I end up being the good cop?"
The questions:
-Who hired Deadpool?
-Who is Joe Palacci?
-How will/does this tie in with Zero Hour?
-Is this going to be an ongoing series?
The comments:
-pfogg1: "IÔªø laughed, I cried, I wet myself."
-Salo06: "Watched it again... I'm convinced that you should be helping write the Deadpool movie. At least the dialogue!"
-showerandbath: "Hurm. Intriguing premise. Must expand upon."
-WhitePlumeria: "RandomGuy, this is your best video yet. TheyÔªø just keep getting better. I think I love you."
-several fans: "Is that tape on the back of Deadpool's head?"
In sum, this is a hilarious video, Rorschach and Deadpool are a great comic duo, RandomGuy should help write the Deadpool movie, people don't know why there's tape on the back of Deadpool's head, aaaand this should be an ongoing series. Got it? Good.
