2014
Congrats you get a t-shirt to claim your
prize email us via YouTube with your
address and shirt size and we’ll get you
that pronto thanks for everyone who
guessed for our next contest to guess
when we’ll hit 5 million subscribers and
the next t-shirt could be yours yes now
on to the questions the first one is a
lengthy email from max Voorhees I will
try to condense it he asks I’ve noticed
a big problem with the series lists it’s
that when the final video comes out the
songs from the other lists on the final
list tend to be very unorganized so
basically his issue is that for example
in our top 10 decade defining songs of
the 70s number three was Bohemian
Rhapsody
number two was stairway to heaven and
number one was stayin alive
so then Bohemian Rhapsody should not
appear higher than stayin alive on the
all-time list so let’s do with that the
short answer is context and timeline in
other words if you see a list that is
only about the 1970s and it’s possible
that a certain actor or movie or song
better defines that limited era but when
you stretch it out over a bigger
timeline sometimes something aged better
over time or better defined an era in
hindsight like for example if you ask
someone for an item to put in a time
capsule you’d get a different answer now
then you’d get five years down the road
25 years a hundred years about what best
to find that moment in history I kind of
happened sometimes and we’d like to
think that’s relatively rare and that
there’s more consistency in our list
than there is in consistency nice humble
bread yeah okay next up Eric Blake also
known as denim or denim emailed us to
say what’s up mojo I’ve got a burning
question I need an answer to why is it
that a clip from something may appear in
the beginning and/or end of a video but
won’t even make the honorable mentions
list this has happened on more than one
occasion and I’ve always wondered why
well the short answer is it’s to show
you that we know the movie exists and we
didn’t forget about it
back in the day we’d only show clips
from movies that were gonna be on the
list now bear in mind we didn’t even
have honorable mentions back then but a
lot of you would write in and be annoyed
because he would sort of spoil the list
so we decided to add images and videos
to some entries that didn’t make the cut
to kind of throw you off a bit and to
tip our hat to some entries that
deserved consideration so they’re
basically like honorable mentions
the honorable mentions we also on a few
occasions used a still of something that
didn’t make the final cut but we stopped
doing that because we didn’t want to be
accused of misrepresentation or gaming
use okay what’s next oh yeah remember
how last week we announced comments on
the suggest page so you guys can make
your case on why an entry should or
shouldn’t be included well this week
we’ve added another new feature you can
now suggest criteria so for example if
you want to do top ten beverages and you
want to exclude it alcohol though I
don’t know why you would you can add
that criteria fair enough
we’ve also got another update for all of
you who are interested in who reads and
responds to the comments up until a few
months ago there was actually only one
person replying to the comments but as
we and our community has grown we’ve
actually added a few more people that do
reply now so to avoid any confusion both
with you guys and between us you will
occasionally see initials at the end of
a comment that is to signal who made the
comment and why theirs might sometimes
be more than one WatchMojo staff are
commenting on a certain thread with kind
of conflicting statements
anyway let’s finish up by reading some
of the comments of the week I’ve got one
here from Yahoo sana clover who
commented on top ten hated songs in
reference to his hatred of a certain
Justin Bieber tune last year in school
the teachers and staff play this baby
song every day for two weeks and the
only way to stop it is to donate money
they got around $100,000
pretty much everyone did hate this song
made my ears bleed speaking of making
your ears blade here’s one from
Patrick’s story who commented on the
show last week you should totally do a
WatchMojo karaoke office video the best
karaoke I ever sang was at a bar in
Montreal on my grade 12 grad trip lol
so I know you are all experts we were
really effing hammered and we sang
paradise by the dashboard light and I
sang all the girl parts also Stephen
Dorff was randomly there with a bunch of
strippers or hookers or something and he
sang some hilarious Nickelback or Creed
song or some lol well I can
honestly say all the times I’ve done
karaoke here I have never seen a slub so
that’s awesome
Stephen Dorff is not a celebrity last
but not least we’ve got one here from
movies who spun this yarn on our top 10
robots of all time redux so I agree with
the choice for number one
yesterday when Maria working at this
hostel was leaving not just for the day
but for weeks
I said hasta LaVista baby and she
replied I’ll be back
now that’s what I call a cool girl all
right guys and gals thanks as always for
the comments and the questions and if
you want your questions answered leave
