First, I would like to announce last week’s Aziz Ansari giveaway:
Doug Klinger!
Yeah! Congratulations Doug! I hope we set a Doug RECORD in happiness and excitement when you find out that you have won this Aziz Ansari RECORD! Yesssss!
This week, THREE of you will have the chance to win a pair of iFrogz (perfect name) CS40 headphones! They really seem like very nice headphones with “AeroFoam ear cushions” that sound great, and they come in nine different colors and you can pick whatever color you want. SO, great. “Headphones UP,” am I right? Headphones!
To enter to win:
- “Like” us on Facebook.
- Login to Videogum with your Facebook account.
- Comment with the best thing you’re going to be able to do at work now that you have headphones and you can listen to things privately! Non-gross is preferred but gross is fine if you must!
Comments must be submitted here by logging in with your Facebook account by Thursday, September, 6PM EST. You can still play along if you just want to comment with your Videogum commenter account, but you can’t win! Only with your Facebook. I’m sorry. Also, only submit once! And then a winner will be chosen at random. YAYAYAY!

If I found out someone I know owns an Aziz Ansari album, my initial response would be “That’s cool, did you get it at the same place as those awesome headphones? You weren’t wearing them the first time you told me about your Aziz Ansari record, which just happened to be one week ago today.”
THANKS FT
YOU’RE WELCOME KC
I can use these to listen to the new Millionaires album I helped fund.
you got iFrogz? iLikez. yeah, i know, it’s stupid but you know someone was going to say it, so why not me?
“Those headphones make you look SO randomly chosen!”
Will finally be able to listen to my library of porn mp3s at work, huzzah!
I don’t know about auditory porn, but I tried reading porn once. Turns out the Kenneth Starr report isn’t nearly as graphic as you might expect. #topical #almosttootopical
Kevin Eubanks laughs
I’ll be able to listen to books on tape and podcasts, even though I don’t quite get why those appeal to people
Don’t use the term “podcast.” It’s a recording. That’s all it is. No need to let Apple take credit for that one, too.
It is a dumb, pretty much meaningless term, although it does seem like it has become pretty well divorced from actually having anything to do with iPods at this point and it’s less cumbersome than “Internet Audio Program” or whatever else you’d call them
I like “webcast.” Let’s make that happen.
Let’s do it! *bro-five*
I prefer “dreamcast”!
“WHAT?? I CAN’T HEAR YOU, MY HEADPHONES ARE TOO LOUD.”
I will be able to block out all annoying customer conversations around me during my lunch break with these.
I’ll be able to masturbate to Rick Derringer’s voice. Instead of just masturbating unaccompanied.
I will listen to nothing, because I have no job
JK JK JK, I was hoping to for the randomly chosen pity vote
I am extremely excited to watch Korean dramas without anyone knowing I am watching Korean dramas, until I start laughing very loudly when a lady gets leukemia from being hit by a car* and/or someone looks at the computer screen, which is in no way shielded or otherwise blocked off from any of my coworkers.
*Actual plot point in an actual Korean drama, but I feel obligated to note that most Korean dramas are not this ridiculous and in fact the car accident to leukemia ratio in kdramas these days is very reasonable and not at all comical.
i’ll start conversations fully knowing how difficult it will be to continue them while wearing my headphones.
I will look like the coolest court reporter ever, listening to the proceedings with my sweet coloured ifrogz, taking down serious notes about CRIME.
The best thing: These headphones would allowe me to open the portal to a hidden underverse not made of matter but of melody and rhythm and color and light.
I will leave them laying out with the sounds of screaming babies cranked up whenever I’m away from my desk.
RELATED: I once bought a lighter that, upon being opened, would say “Fuck you.” I kept it in my pocket, and would covertly open it when people were around, to see them look around for the source of the muffled “fuck you,” wondering if they were hearing things. As an additional bonus, the lighter in question was a complete piece of shit, so it didn’t actually function properly as a lighter more than about the first ten times I used it. So if anybody ever asked to borrow a lighter, I would let them borrow that one, which would say “fuck you” and not light their cigarettes. It was the greatest investment.
That is maybe the greatest gadget I’ve ever heard of. Can I have it?
I don’t have it anymore! It got lost in the roommate divorce. It was a sad day.
I can’t imagine no one has asked this before, but if you win one of these here giveaways, how exactly do you claim your prize?
I can listen to Rebecca Black on loop now without being judged! Oh wait, now you all will judge me. Where’s the delete button?
I can listen to BBC world service : )
Text to speech, videogum comments, all day.
Finally I can listen to that “Doug Hutchison and Courtney Stodden Talk Marriage” video on repeat. MMMMMMHMMMMMMMM.
I can drown out the sound of young co-workers discussing mortgages and 401k’s and showering regularly and other “adult” stuff.
Also: listening to Chet Haze. #GETHAZED
I was going to say I would listen to the new Millionaires album that I funded, but unfortunately I am unoriginal and ediblemole said it way first. So I would use them to drown out the sounds of my sobbing, probably.
If I fit the description in the iFrogz ad, I’d either be “a businesswoman enjoying Pavarotti on a flight to Paris,” or, “a teenager chillaxin’ to Radiohead in my backyard.” These are both more appealing than what I’ll actually be doing, which is listening to Terry Gross, pretending to be on conference calls.
Listen to Gabe & Max Like The Internet on an endless loop.
I could listen to good music on my break instead of a mixture of whatever is on the tv/three seperate coworkers talking on their phones/the shitty music they pump into the store.
I’ll finally be able to poop my pants.
i’ll catch up on my backlog of topher grace interviews
I’m going to wear them and read the True Blood recap out loud, and I won’t be able to hear myself!
I’d use these headphones to drown out the crippling existential crises that grip me without end because I don’t have a job, will never have a job, will never be loved, will die alone, penniless, and not nearly deaf enough.
Easy- I’ll turntable with Vgum folks.
PLUG. turntable.fm/videogum
I will listen to my conscience, really freaking loud.
I will kick people in the head, because I forgot that headphones don’t make me invisible.
‘Spose I’d listen to Black Betty over and over and over and over and over again.
I can wear the “frogz” when I walk across my campus and try to blend into the throng of other students. Students that are obviously not 40 years old and trying to blend in. I have the sads.
I’d listen to this or St Vincent. Probably St. vincent
I will wear them on the weekends while catching up on all of the Videogum posts I miss during the week due to my inability to watch/listen to things on my work computer.
I will listen to Jim Carrey’s comical love letter on loop to remind myself why we fight.
I will put them on in the shower and daydream about what it must be like to be doing illicit things at a real-live job. Or maybe I will just wait until winter to keep my ears warm.
The Vagina Monologues. LOUDLY.
Unemployed!
i will use them on the bus ride to unm in a desperate attempt to avoid talking to one of the many drunk individuals who treat the bus as their only daily activity. these individuals ride up and down central avenue, begging for change, a spare ear, and or whatever drugs/booze you can muster up for ‘em. there have been several occasions when these individuals have attempted to ask me for my fone number, told me i reminded them of some trip they had in the seventies, or taken a hit of a crack pipe in front of the rest of the bus. my favorite day was when a certain individual peed on my shoes. these headfones will allow me to nod my head to music as i do the reading for my class on the way to finish my degree. they will allow me to drown out the drunken babble at eight in the morning. now if i could only find a way to get rid of the smell.
Hey if you win one of these contests, how do you claim your prize? I was picked for the Sunny giveaway like three weeks ago, and I’m not really sure how to go about contacting Kelly or Gabe about it.
Hey Tim! I contacted you through Facebook, but send us a message at tips@videogum.com!
If I win, I can listen to David Sedaris’ hilarious impressions of his brother Rooster and many other people, because I bought the When You Are Engulfed In Flames audiobook for my father for Christmas and promptly took off the plastic wrap and burned them all onto my computer before giving him the gift…heh
I will wear it at dawn, day, evening, darkness, to block out the sound of the world burning as I look onward. Plus I can listen to all my tunes with great headphones! ^_^*
I would respectively listen to my Yanni cassette tapes while I speed walk during the last days of summer.
I will listen to the crushing silence of my unfulfilled hopes and dreams. (No depresso)
I will be working and when people come up to me I’ll tell them “I can’t hear you all I can hear is all this Millionaires!” and when they say “Its not hooked up to anything” I will say yeah I sold it and sent the money to Millioniares so they can put out an album and since nothing else is worth listening to I don’t need it anymore.”
I will listen to kitten videos on YouTube. Not watch them – I can imagine cuter kittens than those real-life shitwads.
The best thing I would do with them is also the only thing I could do with them at work, which is get fired.
I will be able to pretend I can’t hear my coworkers!
I just moved to Japan, so I’d use it to drown out all the noise of all the really friendly Japanese people willing to talk to me while I ironically listen to “How to speak Japanese” tapes. YES I SAID TAPES.
No but really guys, this is awesome, if you haven’t already heard
