Michael REVEALED !!!!

Hey, Vsauce! Michael here, and I'm flying to Dallas today to see my sister. But until then, I thought it might be fun to show you a handful of the over 200 videos I made before Vsauce. That way, you can get to know me a little bit more intimately.

The first video I ever made was actually for a class in college. It was a mash-up of two movies: Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Friday the 13th. I also made this rap video mashup starring George W. Bush and Karl Rove. Next, I moved on to making complicated artistic cultural pieces on a new channel, Campaign 2008, such as this masterpiece: Hillary Clinton Farts. You often avoid taking firm positions on controversial issues.

I didn't have a girlfriend my senior year of college, so I spent the time teaching myself editing techniques while making Obama sing like a Bollywood star for my video, Barack Obama Would. But love was still in my heart, and that's why I edited this video where I made it look like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton kissed. I also cut Mitt Romney to do an old episode of Gilligan's Island and made it look like he was creeping on the girls.

Around that time, I started doing work for Barely Political, editing and remixing my own stuff and even some stuff by other people, like the songs by Mark Douglas. I also got to revisit Hillary Clinton's gastrointestinal problems, this time with a cameo by John McCain. Hello! When the election was over, I summarized it in a remix built out of the original Mario Brothers. You can see Obama take on pundits and even score himself a Joe Biden power-up.

When YouTube introduced annotations, I was there. In March of 2009, I built an interactive Chris Brown punch-out game across 30 different videos on Barely Arcade. In the game, you can choose to throw things at him to score points, like, of course, burning dog poop. A few months and dozens of remixes later, I started editing compilation videos along with music from Jake Shut Now, like this one where I counted down my 51 favorite kid fails.

I also played bass guitar with Rusty in his World of Warcraft inspired band, Ford Zeppelin. And before he was doing Auto-Tune the News, I directed and edited a few videos with Michael Gregory. There's good old Jake, there's Andrew, and here I come riding on a space loc. And late this year, I was still being like this video where I made it look like Obama was smoking.

The natural next move, of course, was to make Justin Bieber's head explode. And while Tom Small was on vacation, I directed and edited electronic music for the Kiosk, "Tickle My Butt Cheeks: A Nun Flies Through the Sky."

But here's the news story: Vsauce 2! That's right, before the sauce completely overflows on one channel, I've started the second channel. Vsauce 2 will really kick up after the holidays, but you can go over there right now to check out an episode of my new show, Loot. I'm playing around with it still, but it's a lot like IMG except everything I cover is for sale.

So what are you waiting for? Go over to Vsauce 2, subscribe, check out Loot, and as always, thanks for watching!
