Banned from YouTube
August 7th, 2008As I write this, I am wired on tea. I’ve switched from coffee to tea because I exhausted my coffee supply and am too lazy to buy more. So tea it is. I thought tea had less caffeine—what gives? I feel very jittery.
Last week YouTube took down my video of “Mister Glasses,” episode # 5. They sent me a very stern warning via email—if I violate their rules of conduct once more, I’m out. Glancing at the list of most-watched videos on YouTube on any given day, you will notice that it’s composed primarily of women stripping down to their underwear and shaking their breasts—the type of soft-core porn that fills the masturbatory indexes of 14-year-old boys everywhere.
My video had a similar theme. It briefly showed a small, black-and-white photo of not-very-sexy bare breasts for about half a second in the service of a joke. Hot stuff. You can still watch it on the FunnyorDie site:
And if your appetite for comedy videos is still not sated, please watch the new episode of “Welcome to my Study” (on YouTube.) Written by and starring me, directed and edited by Dyna Moe, photographed by Bill Buckendorf:

Ridic.
I think Ric Silver (the inventor of the Electric Slide) is behind this.
Down with YouTube.
Yeah!

Mitch, I was just reading this to mom, and she said, “WHAT? I would think he would get kicked off for the child abuse scene. ‘Cause he showed a breast? Oh my god…” Just your average Leave it to Beaver moment in the Magee house.
Dave and I watched the newest Mr. Glasses/Welcome to My Study last night. Hilarious. Definitely my favorite thus far. You’re insane.

I have this to say about the YouTube situation: if they kick you…if they kick you with a black boot, then you kick them with a yellow boot.
I can’t believe you, Mitch Magee. No one can.
(Wall Of Sound Study theme is my favorite thing EVER.)

These “welcome to my study” shorts are hilarious. Please keep making them, I could watch them all day long. You are a genius!

You need to make the Welcome to my Study mp3 available.

You’re bloody brilliant. Ignore the fuckers of YouTube, they’re not worth your videos.
