Analysis of Two Vlogs



Two good/popular Vlogs (That I'm into)
            I bet you find yourself wondering, "what are two vlogs Jake Fontana likes to frequent?" right? Well, good news, I'll go ahead and tell you! I don't actively watch many vlogs, but when I do, I tend to watch ones that have no educational value at all! One of my favorite vlogs would have to be "Will It Blend?".
            "Will it Blend?" is hosted by Tom Dickson the CEO of Blendtec. Blendtec is a blender manufacturing company and they crank out one beast of a blender. Every so often Tom Dickson finds himself wondering, "will it blend?". Pitting his powerful blenders against the likes of iPhones, glow sticks and even six Bic lighters, Tom Dickson is ready to throw anything in his super powered blender to answer the question, "will it blend?". As it so often seems to turns out, they do. Blendtec throws together one monster of a blender with blades as sharp as a sword crafted by an ancient Japanese blacksmith with as much horsepower as a '68 Mustang. The thing decimates anything put in its path.
            Every time Dickson blends something its guaranteed to turn into dust. Saying silly lines "Ooooh iPhone dust, don't breathe this in." every time after he blends something. He also always ends the show with a fun freeze frame of him smiling really big with a talk bubble that says, "Yes, it blends!". Totally ridiculous, but they take viewer requests of what they should put in the blender next time, one of my favorites being glow sticks vs. the ever powerful Blendtec blender. Just a fun vlog that I always know the ending to, but it's not the ending that makes it great, it's the high definition slow motion footage of the Samsung Galaxy S5 being turned to dust that makes it great. Check out the iPhone 5 vs. the Galaxy S5 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rofgMueCOqo. Sporting a pretty swell intro and outro theme, this web series is ridiculous and definitely worth watching. Will it blend? The answer is almost always yes.
            The other vlog I think you should check out is Jenna Marbles. The gal is ridiculous. She uses absurd voices, makes fun of everything and is pretty cute to boot. Between the crazy topics she chooses to talk about and the silly ways she talks about them, I find myself watching her videos every so often when I want a good laugh. One of her more recent videos is just about her telling embarrassing stories that have happened to her, check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pip17S1H3bo. Never very serious, this girl is pretty vulgar and has a whole lot of sarcastic input about what's happening in her life.
            Jenna Marbles puts out videos every Wednesday or Thursday and she does a pretty solid job of getting one out every week and editing them well. Jenna edits the videos so that there's never a break in action. Editing out most breaths she takes I'm not convinced that she breathes ever. She ends every show talking about her upcoming videos while petting her doge Kermit. It's a goofy looking little dog that she constantly talks for in a ridiculously silly voice and usually makes wave goodbye at the camera. She's an interesting gal to say the least.
            So, those are some vlogs I'd recommend checking out if you find yourself bored and next to a computer or on your fancy smart phone. You'd be surprised how long you can watch stuff get turned into dust in a blender; it's addicting to me at least. Don't go sticking stuff in your blender when you get done reading this though, leave that to the professionals.
