LOST Video Round-Up: Fan-Made and Official Corey, February 9, 2010February 9, 2010 Everyone by now already knows I’m a huge fan of ABC’s LOST and all of the awesome fan-created content that we’ve gotten over the years. I’m also a fan of the Keyboard Cat, a silly YouTube video turned internet meme and later an internet phenomenon. It’s addition to any video making it 100 times funnier. Keyboard Cat “plays someone off” when said person “fails” or something goes wrong for them, almost like he was pulling them off the stage with a long cane. LOST has a lot of funny parody videos among their collection of fan created content, and this video, Play Her Off Keyboard Cat, is probably one of the funniest in there. Thanks to /Film, we have a few more funny LOST-related fan videos, including a vision of the show’s opening if done in the 1960s, and a comparison of two versions of the Oceanic 815 plane fight, which clearly shows the differences in how they were filmed. Last, but certainly not least, check out Dark UFO to see a trailer for the season 6 Blu-Ray, which has a bunch of juicy footage and soundbites from this season. ABC’s LOST is in its 6th and finale season, and you can catch it on Tuesdays at 9/8c. We’ll have a review of tonight’s episode “What Kate Does” after it airs on the West Coast.
