Dang Gum 8
Okay, so I watched a LOT of Infomania last semester. In that time I’ve grown pretty attached to the show’s five correspondents. I love them all, but I think I like Ben Hoffman the best. Maybe because he’s got a Southern accent? Maybe because I don’t know whether he went to an Ivy? (Conor Knighton went to Yale, Sarah Haskins went to Harvard, and Brett Erlich went to Stanford. I’m not sure where Hoffman went. Or Sergio Cilli and Bryan Safi either.) Maybe it’s the dorky baseball cap?
No. No no no. It is the on-the-scene interviews. It is because, in addition to doing hilarious in-the-office segments about posts on Craigslist and outrage over the new facebook, Ben is the one who gets sent out of the studio to attend things like a Single Cougar Convention, the Fox Reality TV Awards, and most recently, the set of a porno. This was for a segment about 3-D porn (oh James Cameron, what have you wrought). Hoffman interviewed two female pornstars between takes, and also visited a porn convention. It’s pretty fuckin great.

His Prius rant did win me over, but something in my computer stopped liking their video format for a while. Thanks for reminding me what else I could do to waste my time.

Given who she is, what she does, and what she stands for, I feel incredibly guilty over my crush on Sarah Haskins and her awesomeness.

The Viral Video Film School segments use jumpcuts to greater and more hilarious effect than any other film or video in existence.
Danno: hahaha, I think you should continue to crush anyway.
