quietube: Video without the distractions

To watch web videos without the comments and crap, just drag the button below to your browser’s bookmarks bar. On any of the supported video pages, click the bookmark button to watch in peace.

You can then make short URLs too, to send the quietube version to your friends. Easy as.

This is what the creators of Quietube say about their program. As a matter of fact, this is the first tool that lets you to put side all the buzz and concentrate on the video itself. Like everything genius the “Quietube” is very easy to use! You just have to drag the button from the official website to your bookmarks toolbar and once you go to YouTube for videos (Viddler & Vimeo are also supported) you just click the button “Quietube” and enjoy the lack of distractors.

Unfortunately, the� program works with the listed websites only, but can we consider it to be a disadvantage? Just the YouTube itself IS something.

The strangest thing about Quietube is that after having enjoyed a couple of videos you get a feeling that you’re watching them on a poorly-designed blog. But this happened to me and you may have another attitube towards ads-free videos. The only thing that is out of question is the speed! It turned out that Quietube is a great time saver, because you do not have to load ads and different previews of related, featured and other videos you may not even need. So, if you need a clear, ads-free page for watching YouTube videos - Quietube’s just exactly what you need.

Fred Figglehorn, Lucas Cruickshank, the hyperactive guy with a funny pithed voice, you may call him whatever you want, but once you see Fred, you just can not give it up! It makes you laugh and laugh and laugh again! And step by step, video by video you become FRED yourself! Aaaaaa!

Fred is 6 years old and he lives with his recovering alcoholic mother. Fred’s father is supposedly a rock star, is on death row in the state penitentiary. Fred has a crush on a girl in his Kindergarten class, named Judy. Judy has a very mean attitude, and is always “being a brat” but “it doesn’t matter, ‘cuz she’s really pretty!” Fred has an enemy Kevin, who seems to date Judy and bully Fred fom time to time. Fred’s favorite meal is a TV dinner.

Lucas Cruickshank, the author, director editor of “Fred” (and actually Fred himself), is a 14-year old guy from a small town in Idaho. He says he wanted to create a parody of all these people talking about their lives and making video diaries. Now Lucas is a star of YouTube every episide of Fred has more than 1 mln. views and Fred’s page has almost 830.000 subscribers!

Although Fred is not supposed to be using his mother’s video camera, or posting videos, or even having a YouTube account, he posts his videos to his YouTube channel. Fred has a high-pitched “chipmunk” voice — making him sound more like a 6 year old and less like a 15 year old. According to Cruikshank, this effect and the hyperactive appearance of the character are achieved by speeding up the video.

Please, welcome Fred and believe me, he’ll blow your mind away!!

At the first glance, eBaum may seem to you like a huge media storage. But in fact it’s much more than that! There is an opinion that eBaum’s World might be considered as a social network like Digg, Reddit, Kirtsy and others. Everyone is allowed to upload any kind of material
(article, photo, video, sound) in case it does not violate anyone’s rights. Basically users prefer to upload funny videos or pictures, occasionaly some of them upload flash games or news articles.

Once you open News & Links page, you get a Digg-like list of articles with votes count on the left of each article and if you are a user of eBaums’s World, you can vote them up, comment and even thumb comments up and down.

When browsing pics, videos or games you are able to rate & comment them. All in all, videos section is much like YouTube to me, which is very helpful, because you are shown related videos and the tab for getting the source code to get the video embedded in your blog is also present.

Audio/Prank Calls section contains famous soundboards and prank calls (including those in which sounboards were used). As everywhere else on the site, you can comment and rate the stuff you like. I spent half an hour playing with Mr.Garrison’s sounboard. I bet anyone can find something extremely interesting for himself.

eBaum also has a very nice Jokes section where different jokes on various topics can be found. And there is also a list of 10 featured and 10 recently submitted jokes, which may be very convinient if you do not have enought time. Featured jokes are very good!

And offcourse, eBaum has its own community and such features as blogs, groups and live chat help people to socialize with each other, tighten their friendship and encourage them to come up with some more awsome funny ideas.

All in all, eBaum’s World is a huge community of people united with an idea of having fun. For the best of funny stories, pics and videos go to the homepage, where one can easily pick the funniest stuff. So if you ever find yourself bored or depressed - give it a try!
