TV Carnage on You Tube

Perhaps the greatest clip DVDs in the world, and somewhat perfect cultural fodder for a time capsule, sampled for your entertainment pleasure:
Squirrel Melts
Rosie On the Bus vs. John Ritter
Snoop Dogg on Donnie and Marie
I'm Not Working For McDonalds
Truth is, these clips deliver best when dropped into the non-stop river of lost-mind sludge that each DVD delivers in its 75 minute glory. Rather than purely rely on individual kitschy snippets, TV Carnage often juxtaposes obvious and not-so-obvious bizarro moments with video and audio to create a whole new screwed up identity, it is freeform TV in the most straight up sense. Matlock's dog hallucinates about James Brown's disembodied head, an enraged fan's attack on soap star Michael Damian singing onstage gets dissected and analyzed at incredible length, lots of Stairway To Stardom moments of course. As my friend Tadd said about an hour into watching one DVD: "they just keep giving, don't they." Find them here.

i'm so glad you posted this. i've been proclaiming the glory that is tv carnage since i watched my first one a couple of years ago. it changes the way you watch tv, reminding you forever that context is king. it really does something a thousand youtube clips can't do...
plus buy the dvd and you get a bonus barf bag and michael damian arrest report!

Is this sort of like channel surfing without the troublesome thumb strain? I'm double jointed and sometimes I freeze up. But what I am really trying to say is-for the love of god, read a book!
