This belongs here...it's not my favorite but I was psyched so many people got to know of OK Go through it...
The latinamerican version of the reality show Big Brother (Gran Hermano) where four of the house members are made to dance HIGA (treadmills included) http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=A4xANed8o7M
haha that's so awesome! Too bad it wasn't on the American version. major Ok Go publicity!!!!
oh, but it was major publicity, in Latinamerica there are aproximately double the number of people as in the US. The Oh No cd sales didn't skyrocket only because it is not available anywhere (trust me, I've looked, searched, inquired, seeked, inspected, scanned, scouted, rummaged and maybe even foraged for it to no avail) ...yeah, that's some really smart marketing strategy right there from their label...
btw, I love my thesaurus
it really was a bummer that the copied HIGA dance routine sucked...maybe the problem was the treadmills were going too slow...or maybe they just sucked because reality tv sucks in general...
One of my favorite youtube videos is this one. It's among the first I saw when I was getting into OK Go, and it was the start of my falling in love. (Bonus: There are 4 in the series; this is #2.) Does anyone know if these two Fan Correspondent interviewers are or were boardies?
edit: I forgot to list why I like it. 1. Damian rambles. 2. We learn that Damian was a very good student and that he never got punished *too* harshly because his grades were always really good. 3. Damian can talk to anybody about anything. 4. Damian's hands. 5. That they made themselves so accessible through this "Fan Correspondent" experiment.
This is a good thread; thanks for starting it. I haven't watched everyone's contributions yet, but keaton, I thank you for the one of them playing OLISQ on the bar in Buffalo. Ah, OK Go. They'll probably never get to do that again.
Whoa, has anyone posted this? It's part of the Cinn. Lips dance at the Troubadour in 2004. Added to YouTube this July. Damn, I hope more old stuff like this keeps surfacing as the band gets bigger.
*Sidenote: I just went to this person's other videos and spent three minutes ogling the singer of the other band she has vids of, Everybody Else (the "Ten Bucks" vid from UCLA) ... Wow. I certainly have a type. (And perhaps so does Lynne8899. lol)
*Ogle update: I just watched the Everybody Else "Born to Do" UCLA vid now. Oh dear. This is trouble.

It's like they were separated at birth or something. Someone should call him and find out if he has a relative who invented the modern fishstick.
And Heidi - Oxygen Magnesium. FTW. You are AWESOME.
Dont know if anyone has seen this but my kids found it and I thought it was funny especially at the beginning when his lips are moving to words. Salad Fingers
My goodness, the ridiculous things you can find when you type into youtube "muppet" and "ok go"
Unfortunately, I found no really cool vids involving muppets and ok go. But here are a few things I'll post just for the heck of it.
This is so ridiculous, and yet it made me giggle. A sock puppet sings "YSDH." It's not worth watching more than 30 seconds. But it's always great listening to YSDH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zblOuK4E3Ak
A music vid to "Maybe This Time" with a band who's lead singer is obsessed with a puppet. The lipsinking and pretend band work is nicely done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6StSDCVlvw
Don't know if any of these girls are boardies, but their version of the Ping Pong video describing how to do Rave dancing is amusing. Fast forward the first three and a half or four minutes if you're not in the mood to watch an AMW's tribute dance. (They did do a good job with the dance though). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7tjiPSrQVU
tell me Tempe. How did you get the idea to search "OK Go" and "puppets" together?
There are many things that brought me to type in "Ok Go" and "muppets" together: A. Being Insane
B. Drinking Beer and Being Insane
C. Drinking Beer, Being Insane, and listening to "Don't Shoot Me Santa"
D. All the above and by watching this vid. I started to wonder if there might be an Ok Go one. Unfortunately, there wasn't. Wouldn't it be hilarious to watch Beaker sing as Damian:

Um, a puppet with a British accent, tries to prounounce the name "Ok Go" properly.
