Here we are, the final Interns’ Corner post. It’s been quite the wild ride. Lots of memories. Lots of tears. I will certainly miss writing the introductions to your posts, and I will certainly miss reading your posts. But as hard as it is to see Andrew, Joe, and Kelly leave us, we can at least take solace in the fact that we’re sending out three lovely young men and woman into the world with a solid background in choosing internet videos that have “gone viral” in roughly the week around when they were chosen, and then writing up some commentary about them before sending them off into the vast world of the Internet to exist forever and ever. Have fun at school, guys! Bring your teachers iApples! Study your nooks! Today they would like to share with you some soothing sounds, some questions about spiders, and some advice that we can ALL use, especially our interns, — how to start your own TeenBiz. So, let’s get to it. ONE LAST TIME!
Andrew’s Pick
Wow! My last Interns’ Corner post. Please no one cry. Everybody stop crying! You look like a fucking mess. Just relax! I’ll help: What’s the most relaxing sound you can think of? “Thirteen minutes of a guy stacking Jenga blocks in relative silence.” Great! Just click the video above, and we’ll chat a little before I go. It’s been a trip, hasn’t it? Remember that time Gabe spelled my last name wrong? Or how about when Kelly asked if you guys remembered how I got mad Gabe spelled my last name wrong? (I wasn’t mad!) And who could forget that time I said “Andrew Kornfeld” in an Interns’ Corner post so that when potential employers google me Videogum comes up and they can see how funny and cool I am? Yes, we sure did have a lot of great name-related times together, but that’s over now. I mean, not for really over. Because I comment as “ignition remix” and there are links to personal things on my Videogum profile. Anyway, if I had one regret, it would be choosing esoteric videos so often. Just kidding, I don’t regret that at all. It was a great decision always. Okay, these Jenga blocks are putting me to sleep. I love you guys! See you in the comments! R.I.P. –Andrew
Joseph’s Pick
Alright, Confessiongum, everyone. I will admit that, for the teensiest second, I wasn’t sure if this guy was for real. It isn’t that I didn’t find his accent convincing, or even that I found the possibility of some German somewhere being perturbed by the naming of daddy longlegs…um, remote. It’s just that it’s too good! It’s too easy. It’s as if all the peoples of the world banded together and approached the bejeweled dais of the Internet and said, “Internet –- here you go. We heard you’d like this.” I mean, obviously I did the research (LOL) and found out that this is a guy with a lot of videos and he’s been pretty consistently zany, and pretty consistently German, so I’m willing to forfeit my challenge. But “Is this a shortness for ‘Father Long Legs’?” Seriously? I dunno, you guys. Pretty cute stuff. But you know, for all my disbelief, I totally see where he’s coming from. I’ve very much thought the same thing about daddy longlegs (“longlegs” is one word according to Wikipedia), ever since I was a toddler longlegs toddling around the sandbox. “Who named this shit?” I said. See? I wasn’t as cute and funny about it as this guy. Even though one expects a child to be cute and funny about most things. Isn’t it weird how we equate foreigners to children? Final note: Goodbye Kelly and Gabe! I will miss our long lunch breaks by the water cooler! Kelly, don’t worry, I’ll give you those DVDs back! Bye, all you readers! –Joe
Kelly’s Pick
As I go gently into this good semester, I’m reminded of the lessons of TeenBiz. I can’t be an intern forever. Eventually, my parents will realize that I haven’t bought textbooks in 3 years and they’ll cut me off financially, leaving me to fend for myself like the grownup that I’m supposed to resemble. I’ll have to buy all of my suede vests and monogrammed baseball hats on my own, making anywhere from 12 to 350 dollars a week if I’m lucky. I’m not worried, though. I’m sure it’ll be “sweet!” and “a win-win situation!” and “bucks, bro!” I just know it. I trust young Balki Bartokomous implicitly, and I’m pretty sure Warren Buffett gets his best financial advise from barefoot kids on the beach, so don’t you worry about me. The important thing is to just keep watching TeenBiz over and over again, gleaning life lessons, and definitely not being groomed for a Ponzi scheme involving children and teens. How else could those young entrepreneurs have afforded that house that they stole? I’m so good at money. I am going to be so rich. –Kelly

Wait, what the hell school do these kids go to that they’re not in classes yet?
The School of hard Knocks, Superglue. In fact, while you were posting that comment, Andrew and Joseph stole your hubcaps and Kelly took $20 from your wallet.
By the way, don’t ask what happened to Gabe today. That was their final test.
Joke’s on them. What looked like a $20 bill was actually Fun Buxx from a local mom and pop video arcade.
You have Fun Buxx?? No fair!
lmao…that’s too funny..
…

That Daddy Long Legs video is seriously great.
It’s fun if you close your eyes and imagine its Werner Herzog.

“Daddy long legs? Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?” – Gerhard Seinfeld
It’s certainly the funniest objection to Intelligent Design I’ve ever heard.
Wer hat die Daddy Longlegs gebaut?
Wait, Kelly’s an intern? I thought Assistant Editor. WHY DID I INVEST SO MUCH OF MY HEART IN AN INTERN WHO WOULD BE LEAVING IN SEPTEMBER.
Stay in school. Just say no. Gardasil. KIT. DNQ.
Have you not been following the tale of the two Kellys? One of us is an associate editor with curly hair and the other is an intern with curly hair. I don’t want to say that it’s discrimination for you not to be able to tell us apart, but you’re basically Hitler now, sry.
I’m not all bad. I give you this:
C’mon hotspur get it together!
Keep out of this Gabe.
Looks like I picked the wrong Friday to quit huffing paint.
unrelated, and everyone will go ballistic on me..but i’m 2 eps into season 1 of breaking bad and im not feeling it that crazy…what does that mean? is this a “if you dont like it right away you won’t like it” situation, or should i stick it out? i laughed at a few moments, but overall i could stop watching now and be fine.
questions, comments, concerns?
CONCERNS
“Start at season 4 – werttrew joke”
I had the same thing. Keep at it, it will get seriously great.
Stick it out. Season two is when it gets really REALLY good, and then season three will blow your mind with the fact that nearly every single episode is better than the one before it, and then season four… well, we’re still mired in it so I’m not sure how it will be overall, but um it’s awesome. Seriously though. You might just want to set a couple of days aside for season three. Just so you can watch it all in one sitting on the couch. Call in sick. It’s THAT important.
There’s a moment in episode three that really changes everything, in my opinion. Something Walt does that I didn’t think he was capable of.
Honestly, if you’re not hooked after Ep 3, this show is not for you.
Bye, interns! Great videos this week! We’ll miss you!
P.S. If you’re ever at Target trying to throw together a last-minute board game night, don’t buy the generic Jenga called Jumbling Towers. Even if you’re on a budget. It’s not worth the $10 saved and everyone will laugh at you.
I wish I could’ve read this comment yesterday. I feel like such an idiot.
aright..im sticking out until episode 3..if after that i’m not into it, its over guys..sorry. ill be back with my final decision.
gabe tried to keep them around for the semester, but they made their case….
I think I either make, hear, or read a “we have to go back” joke every single day. I don’t know what I’d do without them.
That’s life, y’all.
