Videogum Is This Many Years Old: (One Finger)

thumbnail icon: Videogum Is This Many Years Old: (One Finger)

Hey, thank you so much to everyone who came to our one-year anniversary party last night! We like you guys, and it was fun drinking and talking IRL. Whoever dropped that glass really loudly at one point in the night was your boyfriend or girlfriend! Good times. Today is our actual one year anniversary, and since Gabe is off today (his contract stipulates that he gets all post-party days off to recover, the bastard), I'll start today off with my favorite Videogum thing ever, first posted one year ago today: Double Dog: Gabe's Trip To The Today Show With The Sign I Created. If you missed it, un-miss it. It's awesome. I'm never throwing that sign away.

Now, back to cats and trampolines!

Congratulations! (And thank you, this site is great)

I am super-jealous of that cat-on-a-trampoline cake. Yum.

Congrats! And thanks for re-posting the Today Show visit. That and his vlog (or is it vlag) never fail to make me LOL IRL

Congrats. I have to admit to being dubious about the site's premise at first. If it hadn't been for the talents of you two, this site never would have become one of my daily must-reads. Gabe and Lindsay = George and Gracie. (I'm also 72 years old.)

Best (funny) blog around. I'll continue to support your campaign with page views until Videogum is elected president of the internet.

Oh well - happy birthday, Videogum!

Here's to another year of creepy youtube videos and destroying our minds!

By the way, the Today Show challenge was one of the first things I watched on this site and is what officially hooked me. I don't wanna sound like a commenter broken record, but you guys did say you were going to do more Double Dogs this year, and so far you've only done The View challenge. Your adoring fans demand more humiliation!

They didn't end the year by firing Lindsay? Weak. Honestly, the blog comment section and Lindsay ruin this blog. Gabe should go solo. And overweight cool dads that are balding should stop reading. Anyway, whatevs.

Ugh, I'm so tired of hearing the calls for Lindsay being fired (happened a ton around New Year's). I love Gabe's posts just as much as anyone, but I would not want him to take over completely because 1) the number of posts on the site would diminish greatly, 2) Lindsay's posts are a good equalizer to Gabe's cranky rants, and 3) Lindsay is great shut the fuck up.

As for the comments, I personally find the comments to be just as good (sometimes even funnier) than the posts themselves. You can choose to not read them if you find them so horrible.

Congrats, you guys! I've seriously fallen in internet-love with you two, you never fail to make my day (everyday)! I wish I could have met you all and shared an hour of happiness, but maybe next year ...maybe I'll go on spring break to NYC and stand outside The Today Show and hold up my sign that says something like "LOOK OUT! VIDEOGUM BEEN HAD ENTERING IT'S TERRABLE 2s!!" --bring on the tantrums, I can't wait!!

xoxo,
Laura

Thanks Angelaaaa! (no homo taken?)

Btw, whenever I see the icon next to your comments I can't help but think, "I wonder what she's hiding under that mask...?"
