ABOUT

It was a classic story as old as time: college kids grow up online, decide that it'd be a great idea to throw a internet culture conference, and unleash sheer ridiculousness upon the world.

Back in April 2008, we put on ROFLCon 2008 -- the first internet culture conference devoted to discussing what makes memes work, why they work, and where its all going (and then throwing a big-ass rocking party with the internet celebs themselves). It was a kickass time.

We figured we'd keep doing this as long as it remains awesome (and it still is), so we're already hard at work scheming to put together internet culture events into next year. This will be the place for all the breaking news on how they're coming along.

Needless to say, these might be the most important gatherings since the fall of the tower of Babel.

As promised, here is the full compilation of videos Ji and I screened at the Sleeper Hits of the Internet session (in order of presentation). Note to folks who weren’t at the session: some of these videos are far more well known than others, but we estimate most are below 100k views (minus the first video, for sure):

Boyce’s “Special Report” was one of the creepiest I had ever seen. And “Design Coding” should be seen by any aspiring web designer.

This one is a gem as well: I’m So L.A. by MYNX.

The Japanese boy is by the Rahmens, who also did How to Eat Sushi and a bunch of Mac vs PC ads
