Pimp! :)

It seems like a great deal of my flist is not feeling very happy at the moment, so since I can't actually show up on the doorstep with ice cream and a bottle of wine, I thought I'd rec a few things that have cheered me up lately:

Vids:
sdwolfpup has just made one of the most wonderful vids ever. The song is 'La Resistance' from 'South Park, The Movie', so make sure no one young, impressionable or easily offended is close by when you watch. Quite simply a gem of hilarity!

I always thought that Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' would be the perfect vidding song for BuffyBot. Thankfully, so did Cybermintz who has made the silliest and sweetest BuffyBot vid you could imagine. Along with numerous others of course, both serious and funny. The funniest (and most 'sacreligious') would be The Song Of The Count... it will forever warp how you view Sesame Street! Very naughty, but SO much fun! :)

A review:
This is from sadgeezer.com which I found ages ago. There are 'reviews' of the first 4 episodes of S7, but the Beneath You is by far the best. It's like having a slightly mental friend retell the whole episode, with little asides, and it's very good and very funny. Also it made me love the Sluggoth Demon, which is no mean feat!

I hope some of this will cheer people up a bit... enjoy! :)

Mmmmmm - wine and ice-cream ::goes off to salivate::
Thanks a lot for these!
A review
This essay was so funny! Did you watch DH last night? Mike Delfino was wearing a tight blue shirt - I could only slyly smile to myself....

[elisi]

Well, Darcy went shopping after work, so I've had a small glass of wine, but no ice cream sadly...

Did you watch DH last night?
Nope. After mentioning South Park to Darcy, he decided that we really needed to re-watch it. Have you seen it (the movie)?

And I love that essay... I've been keeping it as my special secret for ages now, but felt that really I ought to share... and tight blue t-shirt! ::giggles::

You're a very nice person, Elisi. Just wanted to point that out.

[elisi]

Aw, thanks. ::blushes and goes all shy::

Enjoyed the South Park and the Barbie Girl one, though I thought the latter could have used less of the clip art inserts. The cuts and clips were already quite well done. (Buffybot is so cute!) Like you, I was also surprised there weren't other videos out there on that theme. I know there was a Buffybot one to "Electric Barbarella" and apparently there has been one to "Barbie Girl" but it doesn't seem to be online now.

I rather liked Cybermintz's "Spike Who Loved Me" too, the "These Dreams" one was quite pretty and the opening to "La Donna e Mobile" was PERfect.

Thanks for pointing these out.

I know what you mean - I kept wanting to push them out of the way so I could see what was going on!

I've not got round to watching all of Cybermitz's vids yet, but she's seems very talented.

If I had to rec just one vid however, it'd definitely be sdwolfpup's 'Coin Operated Boy' which is a perfect matching of subject and song and with spot-on editing! It deals with the question of what Buffy wants in a boy...

All of her vids can be found here. If you're not familiar with her work you should most definitely have a look! You won't regret it!

(And I love your icon!)

[yourlibrarian]

I remember seeing you rec that vid sometime back and I took a look. I agree, very well done, and it makes a great statement too. At some point it may show up on my video recs as well :>

Just downloaded that one last night. Found it too, too amusing to resist! miss_jaffacakes had bunches of good ones but I've already got a folder full of icons I have to keep rotating.

[kathyh]

Oooh, vids. I think I'd better leave them until tomorrow now to download as it's getting rather late, but thanks for the recs. I had some wine anyway even if you didn't turn up with a bottle, though it would have been lovely if you had!

[sdwolfpup.livejournal.com]

You are so good to me with your recs. I really, truly appreciate that you do that.

[elisi]

There are far too many vids out there... I'm very slowly watching a selection, but I have too little time. Your recs are always welcomed! :)

I've already got a folder full of icons I have to keep rotating.
I've got hundreds of icons sat in folders waiting for some day when I decide to use them... the problem is that I love all those I have uploaded at the moment and don't want to delete any. *sigh* How come 50 isn't enough? [/rhetorical question]

[elisi]

When it comes to vids, I can recommend everything by sdwolfpup - especially the Spuffy/Spike ones (of course!).

though it would have been lovely if you had!
Well, if I'm ever around your parts I'll make certain to pop by! :)

[elisi]

Well, your vids are brilliant, so the reccing comes naturally... sadly I can't shared them with my husband so I'll have to squee over them online!

And re. your post on reccing, when ever someone recs my fics I tend to fall over in amazement and then thank them profusely! I still find it difficult to think of myself as a writer...
