Birth of a Phenomenon

I’ve been awash with ideas lately for a quick and easy youtube sensation. After countless hours of watching, searching, and general enterprising, I have found what makes good and consistant viewing:

Ordinary morons doing monumentally dumb things, usually when they don’t know they’re doing anything stupid.
Cute cats and kittens.
A sexy big breasted woman with a foreign accent.
Comedy coming from a surprising source*
WWE

*There’s a guy who does a photoshop tutorial series, where he recounts his broken marriage while editing the wedding photos and calling his ex-wife names, which at times is fucking hysterical.


I’ve got 13 ideas here just from the last hour, and have something that should be simple to do (but probably isn’t) and combines two of those requirements from the list: cute cats and comedy from a surprising source. So for your consideration, I present to you:





Okay, imagine that there was 1950’s B-Grade evil genius writing there, with a kick-ass name. Can you see it? Good. Anyway, it’s still a work in progress, and I don’t have a name. I’ll get one though, if it works out. The idea is thus:

An evil-genius has somehow turned himself into a cat, can’t turn himself back, and is now doing a video-blog on his status, kicking off with “so.....obviously something went wrong.” And then I’ll chronicle his days of trying to deal with his idiot henchmen and answering random questions from viewers (though they probably won’t be real viewers). It’s basically a black cat looking cute and talking to the camera. Simple to do, aside from the cat. I had the perfect little kitty for the job. Unfortunately I had the idea 2 years too late, so like Graham Chapman he’s unavailable. But later on I can add mister kitty with a big-breasted woman and hopefully ratings will go through the roof, and also random acts of the henchmen doing stupid things like skiing off the top of a roof and howling in pain. Maybe.
