Happy Halloween From Yahoo! Video

While kids around the country are preparing to scare up some candy dressed as ghosts, goblins, or perhaps Sarah Palin, I decided to stick to what I know and dress up as my favorite Internet video star of the year, Italian Spiderman:

If you missed this instant classic when it aired earlier in the year, enjoy the trailer:

And finally, since you deserve it, here’s a sweet playlist of Halloween related comedy videos. Don’t eat them all at once, or you’re sure to get a bellyache:

The Bear is Back!

You may remember that a few weeks ago, a certain bear went to Wallstreet with two bikini-clad companions to celebrate the return of the bear market. Well that bear is back, and he’s duking it out with a bull in a hilarious dramatization of our turbulent stock market.

Fringe Fridays: Bach is Dead

It’s time once again for Fringe Fridays, our (nearly) weekly look at animation and independent film. And since Halloween is a week away, it’s time for something creepy. You know that old joke about Bach? It goes something like this:

They recently dug up the body of Bach, and they found him erasing his sheet music. They asked him what he was doing and he said he was, “decomposing.”

Well here’s another answer to that joke, courtesy of Aniboom:

Another Wedding Fall

Our biggest video of the week was the World’s Worst Best Man. The video has been controversial, with many people crying ‘hoax.’ Frankly, I have no idea. But why dwell on the past? We have a new wedding fail video to consider.

P.S.: Fifty years ago, my parents were married. And my mom’s brother threw up right in the middle of the wedding. Yep, right at the altar. Too bad this was before video cameras.
