A friend posted a video done by SNL's Fred Armisen the other day. He wanted to "serious" videos.
The rules of making a video were the following:
Rule 1: It has to be serious.
Rule 2: It has to be 30 seconds or less
Rule 3: No more than 2 people in it
Rule 4: At least 1 5 second dramatic pause
Rule 5: At least 1 cutaway to an object
Rule 6: Do your best acting
Rule 7: It needs to have a door slamming
My first attempt while clever, exceeded the time limit and was subjected to the YouTube trolls. The second attempt faired much better I believe. Check out both vids below and let us know what you think.

Favorite Android Apps of 2011
As promised, our favorite Android apps of 2011. These are apps that our contributor Simon designated as his favorites, as he is our resident Android user. Enjoy the list! If you have any suggestions, let us know.
Beautiful Widgets
The Beautiful Widgets app lets you customize your phone's homescreen with weather reports, clocks, battery status and different elements. It's a simple app that makes your Android's homescreen more useful to you, based on what information you want to see. And, as the name implies, it does it with grace. Download this app.
Tiny Flashlight + LED
This app turns your phone into a powerful little lantern. It can use both the screen's brightness and the flash bulb for the camera. The latter providing enough light to see in even the darkest places. Download this app.
Google Maps
Whenever I ask people to name their favorite Android apps, "Google Something" almost always makes the list. Google Maps may be one of the most popular of the Android apps from Google. A few of its signature features, such as navigation and layers, work better on Android than most other mobile operating systems. It's indispensable for finding addresses, service provides nearby, and just for simply getting around. Download this app.
Foursquare
Foursquare helps you explore the world around you. Keep up with friends, get insider tips and unlock discounts and rewards. Available for iPhone and Android. I love this app. It saves me money at restaurants and other businesses. The other day, I got $10.50 off my oil change at Jiffy Lube. I love free! Download this app.
Advanced Task Killer
This app allows you to stop running background processes or apps in memory. The Android operating system can run multiple apps in memory concurrently which currently is its own gift and curse. Cursed...as some processes and apps can bring an Android phone performance to a crawl. Killing an app is nowhere near convenient. This app stops background process and apps. Specify an "Ignore List", or kill all apps running with the click of one button. Very handy for Android users. Download this app.
