Cracked Teaches You How To Win The Radiohead Video Contest
by Gladstone
Check out some more Gladstone over HERE and OVER HERE.
So it seems Radiohead has sponsored a contest that offers fans a chance to create a video for any song off In Rainbows.
For all those interested in winning, I’ve made the following tutorial:
Also, as a special bonus: How many Cracked.com Blog references are in this video?

For a reason I think that this actually has a slight chance of winning this competition.

Someone please give me the context for that baby getting bit in the head by the snake. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. Is that baby okay? Is that fucking baby alright? Jesus Christ why did they just keep filming?
March 24th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
you are truly a visionary, sir. I laughed, I cried, I was scared out of my skull. Afterwards I needed to find some one to hold me.
March 24th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Great job. Funny. I wish that baby had bit that snake though.
March 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Holy fuck, a snake just bit a baby. What horrible person was filming that and decided to watch the baby like, die?
March 24th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
God bless America, the only country on earth to out-law baby biting snakes.
also; thats Radiohead??? someone shoot me. or them.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
That won’t win the contest, but only because the song Idiotheque is not on In Raibows. It pretty much looks like a Radiohead video though.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Hey DOB,
Here’s the full clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrAL-SG-9NI

How the camera must add like 100 pounds on you.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
I edited out the line for time where i say, “I’m using a song off another Radiohead album so that you can use any off of In Rainbows.”
2 more reasons it won’t win: 1) the contest is really just for animation, and 2) I’m not entering it because this was a joke.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
I think that baby gonna eat that snake I mean it’s totally unfazed by the bite
March 24th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
not enough robots, sharks, and bears for my taste. But then again, what do i know, I have a penis.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
No weight lose update today Gladstone? Did you give up?
March 24th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I didn’t want to distract from this post. Next monday. Promise.
March 24th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Those creepy, people-faced ants will haunt my dreams. You bastard.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Thanks Gladstone, seeing the video in its entirety really cleared everything up. See, it’s a baby, and the parents are letting a snake repeatedly bite it on the head. It’s a primitive form of post birth abortion and I, for one, applaud them for keeping snakes employed.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Glad you appreciated it. It took a lot of auditioning. The snake i found right away, but I went through a lot of babies.
March 24th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
that song kicks ass.
March 25th, 2008 at 1:12 am
At least now we know to what happens to those of Hannah Montana’s babies that aren’t aborted.
(Is this joke dead?)
March 25th, 2008 at 2:33 am
As long as Hannah Montana continues to haunt my dreams that joke will never die.
Gold star on the video. Gold star, I say!
March 25th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Thanks for the love, guys.
But no one is playing the “Name the References to the Cracked Blog” Game and its making me sad.
March 25th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Sigh… okay Gladstone. I saw the expensive hat guy, there’s one. Next!
March 25th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Only one? Ha! Peasant.
March 25th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Clearly the one filming the baby was Hannah Montana.
March 25th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Was it wrong that I was laughing at the baby getting bit?
Good show Gladstone.
March 25th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Gladstone you’re a goddamn faggot. But the video was pretty good.
March 25th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Thanks lasers!
I’m glad my perceived homosexuality did not disturb your enjoyment of the video.
Here’s hoping your next hate crime quells those nagging thoughts about your own sexual orientation.
March 25th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
great video, I feel kinda, anxious like nervous now for some reason.
March 25th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
References that I saw were
Expensive hat, Your sister that you got to dress up as Amy Winestone, Hot Farts and Wayne giving himself a blumpkin.
March 25th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
There are two more.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
the video is kinda neat. the only problem is… this isnt anything like a radiohead video. they dont do that kinda freaky imagery thing, do they? i dont remember that in any of their videos. lets see… creep (band playing), um fake plastic trees (band in a grocery store), no surprises (astronaut who’s helmet is getting filled with water), karma police (guy being chased by a car)… umm… idioteque (more singing). paranoid android (kinda weird, but not freaky images weird), ummmm…. pyramid song (deep sea diver visiting his old house in a flood).
so uhhh ima have to call you on that “radioheadesque images” thing. they are big into alien heads and stick figures. not “snake biting babies” or “giant tarrantula’s with human heads” kind of stuff. better luck next time!
March 25th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Juggadore, thanks for your comment
3 quick points in response:
1. I’m not sure why you think an astronaut being slowly drowned isn’t terrifying. That video freaks me out.
2. i’m also equally confused why you see nothing disturbing about a man trying to outrun a car that’s trying to kill him before it bursts into flames. That kind of gets to me. Also in “just” there’s a guy twitching on the floor somewhat similarly to my dude being eaten by human faced ants.
but, more importantly,
3. This isn’t actually an instructional video. I’m just portraying myself as a pompous film type douche who’s mistaken being provocative with art. I don’t think this video is actually good advice for winning the contest. Also, I think the contest may be limited to animation.
March 25th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Were the shots of Hannah Montana and her lady-friend showing off their giant teeth meant a references to the Cracked Blog or just put in as more horrifying images?
March 25th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I actually thought that was pretty awesome.
March 25th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
yeah the contest is only animation. i’m actually, (fer REAL real) working on one for that contest. yeah those situations are terrifying, i agree… sorry i had to let some people know (ahem) that these guys aren’t just shock junkies…
i understood the joke, i was just being a snob and pain in the ass. every comment board needs one, doesnt it??
March 25th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
” i was just being a snob and pain in the ass. every comment board needs one, doesnt it??”
Yeah, but Cracked.com seemed to have more than their share, from the writers down to the commentators. ( myself excluded )
March 26th, 2008 at 5:12 am
I think Cracked.com (the blog at least) has shockingly few trolls.
At different times people on this blog have actually clarified their positions and changed their minds — even apologized.
I know have. So has glendoor42. And now juggardore. I think that’s amazing. Usually on blogs, positions get more an more entrenched until someone is called Hitler.
Good luck Juggadore.
And yes, Megan, I’m counting the Hannah Montana video show as a reference.
There’s one more, but it’s tough. Hint. It’s from my very first cracked video.
March 26th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Gladstone, I think you’ll find the reason there are surprisingly few trolls here is that 80% of the commentators are, in fact, the same person.
Sure, I just log in under a different name, and there you go. I come up with all kinds of crazy stories about my family, or pretend to be from another country. I have to do a lot of research to make sure I always have the right side of every argument, though.
March 26th, 2008 at 9:45 am
This is an awful video depicting extreme animal abuse and bad parenting. Although Radiohead is kind of musical abuse and bad parenting. So let’s call it even.
March 26th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Also, king monkey you need to get outdoors STAT.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:43 am
That sounds like something I’d say.
March 26th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
[…] And don’t be sad. I’m pretty sure I know the number of at least one waitress who would still totally sleep with you. Check out some more Gladstone over HERE and And find the still undetected blog reference HERE. […]
March 26th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
aww cracked.com. you know i love you. it’s just… i get so emotional baby..
March 26th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Was your first cracked.com video the one where you were the agent?
March 27th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Hannah Montana is a slut.
March 27th, 2008 at 5:35 am
Well, this is too much of a hint Brentin, but no, this was my first cracked video
http://www.cracked.com/blog/2008/01/09/rudy-guiliani-a-protector-against-all-evils/
And by the way, I just resisted the urge to do a wildly successful rick roll. I hope you all appreciate my love.
March 27th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Fine. I hate you all too. The answer is Clay Aiken. THe 5 Cracked references in the vid are:
Clay Aiken
Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana)
Amy Winehouse
Expensive Hat
Hot Farts
My apologies to the great Chris Buckholz. I couldn’t think of a good icon that represented you. Afterwards, I realized a robot would have worked.
March 29th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
I imagine the snake was defanged, and the baby was fine. I feel sorry for the snake, though.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Me too. I had to train him for hours.
March 31st, 2008 at 12:41 am
Babies sure do get to have the best pets.
That video was good and strange.
If only you really were gay and lived close by.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
[…] a bad way. At first, I assumed he was still grieving over his ridiculous decision not to feature my Radiohead video on the home page. But, incredibly, it turned out that wasn’t it at […]
