Who said nobody's watching

If you haven't realised already, Youtube has completely revolutionised the entertainment industry, making anyone who owns a digital videocam a possible potential star-in-the-making. Many short videos filmed with a really tiny budget have captured viewer's interest and attention all over the world. Some of these amateurs actors or singers have even gone on to make the jump from being the next hot thing on Youtube to the next hot thing in Hollywood as recording companies and talent agencies now make Youtube their new playground to talent scout. Some of these videos are so popular that their view counts are in the hundreds of thousands(some close to a million!)

I know of friends who used to spend their time on the internet reading blogs. Now they spend their time online reading blogs AND watching Youtube. Who said nobody's watching?

The following are 2 shows that I think are pretty well done and quite funny.


Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager


Nobody's Watching


Technically, Nobody's Watching cannot be considered an amateur video as it was created by the writers of Scrubs and Family Guy, both are comedy sitcoms that have enjoyed quite some popularity on the small screen. Still, it's really funny and quite different from any we've seen before.

The rest of the episodes for both shows can easily be accessed in the "Related" column of the respective Youtube pages.
