CTFxC Does Washington DC On Halloween

Well, we got an explanation from Charles about why there was no CTFxC meetup like they had hoped at the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally Charles, Alli & Melissa were attending in Washington DC - there was a massive Internet blackout. No cell phones, no texting, no Internet - BIG fail on the part of the InterWebs, so although Charles Trippy had planned on telling everyone where he and the girls were, they couldn't, but it still looks like it was an awesome time.



Loved all the signs and costumes they spotted in the crowd. And one dude found them and gave his YouTube channel - arandomkindofthing (go give Shane a shout out from CTFxC!). Of course there was also that total DB who interrupted them to make a snide comment about liberals and their skin. Alli TOTALLY called it right with that guy. And did you see the guy wearing the Rorschach mask? I half expected him to say "Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon." lol.

Still the shots after dark were pretty cool too, with the Lincoln Memorial all lit up and Charles got a good quote from Lincoln: "Hey Charles! CTFxC FTW!" But they did meet up with a couple of youtubers, jeremyi and kxkevin12 - so give them a shout on their channels too. It was also interesting to see the spot where Martin Luther King Jr delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech. That's one thing about DC - massive history all over the place.

What do you think about their latest outro for their channel? I think it sounded awesome. It was done by Terabrite, so there's a link if you want to check out their channel.

iJustine As A Mermaid Vampire?

So, what were you for Halloween? It looks like iJustine is rockin' the vampire theme with those choppers.



The Radio Shack dude didn't even seem to bat an eye at IJ when she asked for help looking for that cable. And loved the anguished looks to her sister Bree when he led her over to the cable section.

If you're looking for fangs, check on Amazon - but if it's past Halloween and you're shopping for fangs, it may be time to lay off the True Blood for a while.

I have to say that I did laugh at iJustine trying to squirm in and out of that little mermaid costume and needing help from a kind stranger and Bree to manage the maneuver. LOL at the bug-eyed little girl at 9:07 staring at her when IJ broke out into song. Half expected her to whisper "C'mon Jimmy let's get outta here!"

And just in case you missed IJ's sister Jenna's video where she dresses up as a vampire with her friends...

TheWillofDC: Winners & Losers Halloween 2010

I don't know about you, but as a regular viewer of TheWillofDC's Winners & Losers I like how Will did this video rather than his other recent videos with the green screen. That said, there were some interesting developments in the rankings of the Top 100 Youtubers this week and Will lets us know what's what.



The big winner this past week was DieAussenseiter a German YouTube channel that moved up from 80th to 77th place on the overall Top 100. "DieAussenseiter" translates into english as "The Outsider". This does show the growth of the international scope of YouTube and other channels using languages other than primarily English should take heart and receive some motivation to keep working to make more videos and channels in their native languages - there are audiences in every country that want great content in their own language. Below is a Halloween video from DieAussenseiter.



DieAussenseiter is made up of two German brothers: Alexander "Sascha" Koslowski and Dimitri "Dima" Koslowski and their channel now has 437K subscribers and 111 million views! Those are some solid numbers.

According to Will, the biggest loser seems to be therealdemilovato channel which garnered only 2,903 new subscribers over the last 2 weeks and fell to 49th place from 44th. It looks like Demi Lovato's in a new series called Sonny With A Chance (that seems like a re-run of 57 other Disney shows - hope that didn't sound too harsh). They've released a bunch of clips of the series on Demi's channel, but nothing truly unique content-wise, just more from the Disney machine. If you want to see a clip with Shaq, check it out:



Ray William Johnson Got 73,000 New Subscribers?!

Yes, Ray keeps on generating massive numbers in the subscriber race more than doubling Nigahiga's new subscribers 35,013 with RWJ getting 73,252 new subs. That is amazing. Last year when it was Shane Dawson pulling the big numbers, I'm pretty sure even Shane didn't get that many all at once. Ray William Johnson is still about 600,000 behind Nigahiga but Ray's gaining on him fast. It's probably only a matter of time before there's a new number one most subscribed on YouTube.

Also, Fred got passed by Shane Dawson for 3rd overall. Poor Fred who everyone loves to hate was once the big kahuna but he's slipping. His numbers are still solid, but Smosh is breathing down the little guy's neck (Anthony and Ian are about 100K behind Fred).

A couple of other big name Youtubers that Will didn't mention are sxephil and realannoyingorange who are neck and neck for 9th and 10th spots, with collegehumor and davedays both really, really close behind.

An Annoying Orange Halloween

It's that spooky time of year again and Annoying Orange and the rest of the produce have decided to tell scary Halloween stories. Pear kicks things off with the trying horrifying tale of "Frankenfruit".



Ooh spooky! The ending was kinda messy. Grapefruit was played by Bob Jenz and Kevin Brueck was Kiwi (and Grandpa Lemon too). As always daneboe was Real Annoying Orange. What I like about Annoying Orange is that he usually has some outtakes where they mess up their lines. Take a look.



If you are unfamiliar with the Real Annoying Orange, the link at the top will take you to his channel so you can sub if you haven't already - Orange actually has 1.3 million subs and it looks like he will surpass Phil DeFranco's main channel for 9th spot on the Top 100 List as sxephil is only about 30,000 ahead of Danboe's Orange.

Charles Trippy Says "Real Vampires Don't Sparkle!"

This is the video Charles Trippy filmed when they were in California earlier this month and that he has been working on since they got back. In their last CTFxC video, Charles was showing how he was putting together some of the music for this Halloween/Twilight themed video.



It looks like Charles/Edward scored big time lol. Also, this was filmed by Mr Safety of SMPfilms. The hot girl at the door was ChristaBelle28. Check out her videos! She's got about 38 posted (I liked A Real Woman's Workout).

And don't forget that you can win some Throwboy pillows by subscribing to this channel (which is Charles' personal Youtube channel). After subbing here, go to their Facebook page at facebook.com/CharlesTrippyFriendcore. Once you're subbed and have "liked" the Facebook page, Charles will randomly pick 9 folks to win the Throwboy pillows. It's that easy.
