    Wow some well done videos! I liked the bad teacher, pimping out his kids in class to get him a free trip! haha

  • MiffSC_traveler

    Pick the teacher!!! All teachers deserve a break like that! :)

  • http://www.ipbrian.com/ IPBrian

    Some very good submissions guys! Vote for “The Other Brian!” :-)

  • http://getbusylivingblog.com Benny Hsu

    I liked the Stache and Ethan the magician. Had me laughing. Great job everyone!

  • Gpapadop

    My short term career as a video director is clearly over when I can’t crack the Top 10, deservedly so! It was fun bribing my kids to help their dad get another fix for his crack habit and going through the motions I learned a lot! No more videos for me, there are so many more talented people out there! I am going to watch the videos later today and vote for my favorite. Good luck to everyone and thanks Brian for the opportunity!

  • Ethan Jones

    Thanks Benny! Agreed, great videos all around!

    Really Tough Competition. Congrats to all the entrants… All really well done!

  • Jimgotkp

    There were too many good submissions. I agree that the Ethan the Magician one was hilarious. I thought “The Other Brian” was good too!

  • sil

    I think Ethan magician should hide the other 9 contenders in a large bag and all can go. I love all the videos.

  • Chris B.

    So how many references are there in your vid? I don’t see any AA shopping mall ‘hockey pucks’ lol!

  • http://www.ipbrian.com/ IPBrian

    By my count there are 23 (though there maybe more)…and you have to look pretty carefully. I intentionally obscured them in shallow depth of field (a few maybe too much) so people would have to know what they were looking at rather than reading the screen by zooming in! :-) Any you might look again for the hockey puck! LOL!
