The same way that Yo MTV Raps helped launch rap music because it introduced people to the artists and contextualized the music/culture – didn’t just throw a bunch of videos up there from people who a mass audience had never heard of and expect it to automatically catch on.

Wow. Just realized this is a very serious post for a guy that runs a comedy video blog.

These best of the web style shows–which are basically no different than America’s Funniest Home Videos–cost practically nothing to produce (probably less than $30K per episode if I were to guess vs. up to $10 million per episode for certain scripted series), so the idea is probably very appealing for tv networks.
