I don’t know if I heard the term, Remix Culture, previously? Or if I just thought of it because it is obvious. Turns out, Lawrence Lessig made it official. Regardless, remixing is sweet, and is responsible for many great things in life.
In October, I posted a video of the Cadbury Ad with the Gorilla. I thought this video was great, and now I get to re-live it in the re-mix fashion.
Top Gorilla Ad Remixes:
- Going Crazy. A really good idea for the creator.
- Fitty.
- I fuckin’ need you more than ever.
- Halfway there.
- X Factor Audition.
- Eastenders.
- That’s Deep.
- Subsourced.
- A Glass and a Half Full of Jack Daniels Production.
- Black20.com?
- There are a bunch of awful ones out there like this.

I would say some of them are sweet and some of them need to be tarred and feathered in a public square.

The Gibbs’ breakdown on a scale of one to ten, ten being the best:
1: 8.5 The best one hands down when it comes to creativity. There was monkey shit throwing involved, automatic 8 ranking right there.
2: 6 Good soundtrack choice: a little monotonous because what else can you do but a steady beat?
3: 8 I almost wept.
4: 5 Once again, good song choice, bored after 15 seconds.
5: 7.5 Very creative. Made me giggle numerous times.
6: 3 What?
7: 8 Fit very nicely with the song. Oh, and I’m prejudiced. This is one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time.
8: 7 Brief; good song; upbeat. I’d watch it again. I did actually.
9: 4 A four for effort. Does he have a whitehead on his nostril? I’d tell him to pop that for the next vid.
10: 9 Okay, I’m sorry. THIS is the best. Gorilla plus Phil equals the best things in life.
11: Fuck a rating, this IS awful.
I don’t do much during the day either.

I obviously enjoy the hip-hop stylings of the 50 one, and I feel as if there would be a huge catalog of songs that you could make this work for.
