ROTFLYAO? Maybe it’s Mother Nature’s way of telling you to vote for Batdar!!! in the National College Comedy Competition. Help Erika Budrovich, member of UC Berkeley’s favorite improv outfit jericho!, make the final four so she can showcase at the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival and harness all the bragging rights associated with the national title of “Funniest Filmmaker.”
Bonus guerilla improv: Bridgetroll. A classic example of the UC Berkeley student body’s seasoned mastery of the old “Stonewalling Weirdos Asking For Change” maneuver. read more »

Broke? Us too. Thankfully, we can all scratch “wallow in regret” off of our calendars this weekend; sure-to-be-riveting performances by bands-still-in-their-prime such as Built To Spill, Silversun Pickups, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band and, yes, Atmosphere shall not be missed! Our friends at YouTube have yanked the price tag off of the Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park and offered a slice of it, real gratis, via the interwebs right here.
However, it looks like if you want to catch the big names (Pearl Jam, Tom Jones, The Black Eyed Peas, TV on the Radio, M.I.A, Modest Mouse) you’re going to have to throw down cash and hop on BART … right now.

Surely all college students can relate on some level to the hobby of spending hours on YouTube, watching fail videos, weird cats, baby animals or nothing in particular.
Luckily, the students of UC Berkeley have never had to endure such a ban, and the minds of our Utah neighbors can now be infiltrated by cat videos … and educational materials, of course.

And by “on the cheap,” we mean for totally free. US News’ Professors’ Guide just posted some tips on how to take classes from top universities (ours included, nah-turally … ) via the interwebs. A couple of high rollin’ philanthropic foundations partnered with the OpenCourseWare Consortium to put course materials online, accessible to anyone with the cojones to undertake something requiring this much self-discipline. read more »

Between your friend Mike’s 10:01 p.m status update regarding his overall positive reaction to the season finale of “Lost” that he just finished and this guy’s prescription-drug fueled exploration of his carpet, it’s easy to overlook the potential for democratic discourse and fringe political subversion that good ol’ Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube apparently possess. Or so the Chinese government seems to think. Anticipating the twenty year anniversary of its bloody attempt to stifle political dissent at Tiananmen square, it is taking a 21st century approach to authoritarian paranoia.

If you failed chemistry this past semester, you probably need a refresher course. Lucky for you, YouTube has the answers to all your problems. For example: why is carbon so sexy? Ah, young grasshopper, you’ll see.
So we were just going to post the video above because we thought it was funny. Then again, we’re not sure if it’s funny for anyone outside of the Daily Cal.
And then we happened on the Cal Wushu video (which we unfortunately cannot embed), and it totally creams our low-quality video. Wushu in itself is already kick-ass, but when you combine martial arts with a tongue-in-cheek action vid, you are made of WIN.

Jericho!, your friendly neighborhood comedy / improv group, had its last show of the semester last week. Don’t cry though. The magic of jericho! continues on the Internet, yay!
Check out the Mailman bit above. It’s a little longish but it’s definitely not short on pathos … or a case of the silly. After the jump, two more chortle-worthy vids.

The Clog would like to wish you happy holidays, whatever you wish to celebrate (or not): Festivus, Christmas, winter solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or a simple break from school.
Above, we present our gift to you. It’s a real cute ditty from My First Earthquake, a band from across the bay. We hope your holiday travel sends you to warmer pastures or that you’re at least relaxed and dry.
