it's with much regret i am posting to inform you that we didn't get nominated for a webby.
we lost out to such creative brilliance as "Chingo Bling: Fruit Picker". While it's obvious no one at YTMND is capable of ever achieving the skill or artistic ingenuity that is contained in this and the other nominees that beat YTMND out, it's good to know that we can continue to beat the virtually endless supply of dead fads on into infinity.
carry on.
Also, the webbys have a system where the "people" can vote on what they think should win, but you can only vote for the nominees they've chosen, not all of the sites who actually entered, so it's a double failure.

Alot of people seem to think the "stuff in the basement" is Rocky's will to fight, his determination, his grit, his heart. Those people are completely off.
The fact of the matter is the "stuff in the basement" has a more literal interpretation. Stallone wrote this line referring to the robot in Rocky IV.
The "stuff in the basement" that he thinks is still there is his robot which is still in the basement of the Balboa estate that was auctioned off.
Now I know what you are thinking, this guy is nuts, he's just joking, besides Rocky was pointing to his chest as he was talking about the "basement". To those people I say, look at the scene again, it may appear that he is pointing to his chest, but in reality he is pointing north west to the old Balboa Estate.
Rocky was telling Paulie, they need to go back to the Balboa estate to free the Robot who he hid before the place was sold for auction. Rocky had a grand plan to eventually come out of retirement and have Paulie reprogram the robot to train him to fight again. I know what you are saying, Paulie, cmon hes a drunk he can't reprogram a sophisticated robot. To you folk I laugh for you do not recall Paulie reprogramming the robot in Rocky IV to act like a female robot as opposed to the robot's original male state.
Paulie was too drunk to realize what rocky was telling him. Rocky gave up on him and decided to train without the robot and thus lost the fight. Rocky was unable to find the ROBOT in the basement.

It's not Paulie's fault though - he was in a trance drawing a picture of a dog with a bullet in its head. You could tell he was really out of it, because later on when he was in the restaurant flipping out over his "TWO WATCHES," everyone was quiet because they were embarassed to tell him he was wrong - he only has one watch thanks to the "NO, LEAVE IT DOWN!" incident in Rocky III. Paulie is indeed a jealous, lazy bum and a robot f*cker. But he just thought he was doin' good business.

I'm just mimicing the comments I saw on that video. They're depressing. No one seems to realize that spanish people pretending to be gangsta are equal or greater to the failure that rich white posers also bear. I like my crazy spaniards as much as the next, but god DAMN those friggin' gangster spanish guys are annoying, as evidenced by those comments.
... somehow, that hurts. I may be wrong, but it sounded almost distinctly that the 'talent' max mentioned was spoken of facetiously at best. How much you wanna bet he really thought we could've done better than we did? How much would you believe in the possibility that he ISN'T glad YTMND will go right back into the same old Fad Fapping? Do you wonder if it's killing him inside that we may be stuck in this rut of inside jokes for the rest of his life...? I'm really feelin' for him... Poor Max :(
