The Thousands

Yes, YouTube is better than TV, but that shit is also like a post-apocalyptic wasteland; one has to trawl through the trash to become King of the Forwards. Thankfully a blog shines brightly from the darkness like the Lost Ark of the Covenant. To open it is to unleash the ghosts of dead VHS carcasses, consuming your soul with utter hilarity. I speak of Everything Is Terrible.

Priding themselves on not reposting other people’s YouTube bits, EIT are seven geniuses from Chicago who cut together their own three minute masterpieces from their extensive VHS collection (kinda like Australia’s own Ghetto Video!). These guys believe in the commandment that “weird is good, but funny is better!”

So prepare yourself for Martial Arts Instructional Tapes, Eco Rap Videos featuring both Will Smith and ET and that’s not to forget The World’s Most Action Packed Movie. EIT even have a feature length DVD of remixed clips (and another on the way); they’re basically the Girl Talk of VHS! Ask any hacker, nothing is better than Everything Is Terrible.
