Black Nerd Comedy celebrates its 50th video on the main YouTube channel. And what better way to celebrate than a video of me dancing at the Just Dance 2 booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. Watch me get my groove on with this upcoming Nintendo Wii game while a crowd of Comic-Con goers watch and cheer on. There will be more Black Nerd at Comic-Con videos coming, so stay tuned.
As all nerds know, San Diego Comic-Con is rapidly approaching. So what better way to celebrate the event than with a Katy Perry/Snoop Dogg parody? You heard me. And so did the Screen Team, who put together this AWESOME BLOSSOM video about a geek’s favorite type of girl… Comic-Con Girls.
Featuring the FilmBadgers, Max and Katie (a.k.a. Mr. Cheezypop & Skillz) and yours truly as Mario and “Scoob Dogg,” this is definitely a video you’ll want to blast from your iPhones while you’re at the Con. Cause let’s be real, you aren’t using those iPhones for phone calls, are you?
So, want the Comic-Con experience but don’t have the money to get to San Diego? No worries. Los Angeles/Pasadena has you covered Memorial Day weekend with the inauguration of the Los Angeles Rock’n Comic Con 2010.
The weekend long convention (May 28-30) is put together by FAME LA and Animation Ink, in an effort to support the animation, arts, music and film industries. The weekend will be a celebration of comics, gaming, concerts, performances and special guests. One of the biggest highlights in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, done by the king of comics himself STAN LEE, CREATOR OF MARVEL COMICS, EXCELSIOR!!!
I visited the last day of Wizard World Anaheim Comic-Con 2010 with Rob Welkner of COIN-OP TV and Mike from Blanklogo Photography to see what the land that usually gives us Disney could do by giving us Marvel (now owned by Disney). The best way I could describe it was “small, but mighty.” While it was no way a juggernaut like San Diego Comic-Con (but then again, what is… except for maybe World War II), there were still some very cool things that this nerd loved.
First off, I got to see some of my favorite voiceover artists, like Billy West of Ren & Stimpy and Futurama, Phil LaMarr (@PhilLaMarr), who’s done every voice from Samurai Jack to Static Shock, even Pinky and the Brain themselves, Rob Paulsen (@YakkoPinky) and Maurice LaMarche. Rob was excited to see me sporting a Ninja Turtles shirt, and said, “I was Raphael!” Which is true, he voiced Raph in the 80s “Toon Turtles” series.
One of my favorite websites is Spill.com, started up by some friends of mine from my Austin days. Every week, I check out their hilarious movie reviews in audio and even animated form. They also do special videos like this one: Korey aka “The Black Wonder” interviews people with elaborate costumes at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 and asks the important question. How do you go to the bathroom?
Look a couple of times in the video for a Black Nerd in a Scooby-Doo costume who gets very angry at the question. Oh, and watch out for Spill’s nasty nemesis, The Spoiler. It’s a recurring character played by Spillster Leon, who has a knack in his movie reviews to spoil the ending. Pretty funny, except for the fact that he’s now ruined Harry Potter for me. CURSE YOU, SPOILER!!!
