		<description><![CDATA[After his success with Top 100 Worst Ever Nazis , Merseyside surrealist George Cottier has turned his attention to British history, penning an illustrated guide to every British monarch from Egberht to Elizabeth II. &#8220;I have not tried to write about something else,&#8221; claims Cottier in his introduction. &#8220;I won&#8217;t claim to have written a different book when I wrote this one. This book is about monarchs and that is exactly what I set out to write about in the first place.&#8221; The work is utterly sublime. As with most of Cottier&#8217;s output, it&#8217;s a masterpiece of internet trolling. Some entries [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The beauty, and, some might say, the curse of the internet, is that as soon as you put out a video, you&#8217;re guaranteed an instant audience response. From my experience, this can work both as a blessing and a curse at the same time. My latest video, Set Piece, has just hit 50,000 views. But from the comments, a lot of those views have been directed at the actress&#8217;s &#8216;rather ample bosom.&#8217; Those aren&#8217;t my words, but the Youtube community. Actually, they&#8217;ve been a little more crude than that. The mad, often misguided, sometimes sublime nature of Youtube comments has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the end of last year an unofficial Olympics promo was released by Mother&#8217;s Best Child (Daniel Clarke and Guy Davidson), two talented comedy writer/producers. In the video, the  Olympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville travel by rainbow into the middle of the London riots. &#8220;Olympic Mascots Get Ready For 2012&#8243; became the most viewed comedy video on Youtube that day, and the 3rd most viewed video on Reddit. Within hours, it was forced off the internet by London 2012&#8242;s legal team. You can still see the video by clicking here , but the creators would like to point out that they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re well aware of Cassetteboy. They take TV shows, news broadcasts and found footage, then pull it apart before sticking it back together to make something completely different. In art, you have collage. In poetry you have sculpted, er, poetry. In comedy, it&#8217;s a mashup. The mashup is a tremendously successful medium. Cassetteboy Vs The (Bloody) Apprentice has been watched almost 4 million times. It can also be used to reflect the social or political zeitgeist, as seen by the same artists&#8217; mashup of Nick Griffin on Question Time. You can find these examples yourself on Youtube.

		<description><![CDATA[After seeing the higher budget efforts in British Online Comedy (can we call it BOC yet? No, because that&#8217;s the initials of the largest supplier of industrial gases and related equipment in the United Kingdom, and it wouldn&#8217;t do to be confused), it&#8217;s important not to forget those newer to the scene. Liverpudlian comic Liam Bolton is very much the Richard Brautigan of the 21st century, in that he almost certainly won&#8217;t be appreciated in his time, except in Japan. Liam sets his camera up wherever he can and instigates the comedy equivalent of a stare-out with his audience. Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The mercurial Dan Antopolski has taken to the internet like an enthusiastic middle aged divorcee to a book of Women&#8217;s Institute Walking Tours of West Berkshire. Antopolski isn&#8217;t middle aged, nor, as far as I can tell, a divorcee, but he and his comedy sketch team Jigsaw have transferred their batshit mental sketch show to Youtube. Their first effort takes on our joint worst fears: the army and stage hypnotism. Sorry for ruining the punchline there, but I did put this sentence under the video, so you shouldn&#8217;t have read it before. Jigsaw are Dan Antopolski, Tom Craine and Nat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anthony Richardson Surrealist comedian George Cottier brilliantly satirises the internet’s dual obsession of countdown lists and Nazis with his ‘Top 100 Worst Nazis.’ ‘At last,’ George writes, ‘my definitive list of these awful people.’ It’s a simple idea. A slide show of each Nazi, with their name, narrated by a female text-to-speech robot. And, naturally, an 80s electro rave backing track. The list begins sensibly enough, with names that sound believable to anyone without a grounding in German military history. However, by 89 we see a picture of American actor James Cagney, by 86 Dietrich Eisenheingunbruchtgemichtaus crops up, and when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anthony Richardson My writing partner informs me that ‘Young Girl’ is pushing one million views. ‘Young Girl’ is a skit written by Andrew Gaynord about a bloke who reluctantly brings his new girlfriend to the pub, and ashamedly tells his friends that she’s only 8 years old. Spoiler alert: she’s not. My writing partner’s eyes widen at the milestone. One million views. That’s serious return for a comedy sketch. ‘Spread it around,’ he says. Admittedly, he’s in the thing. Mark Davison is the guy who, in the freeze frame at the end, inadvertently exposes his large-ish belly. &#8216;EPIC GUT,&#8217; says [...]]]></description>
