lists about commercials I get uber
nostalgic so these are definitely some
more fun ones for me and finally today

quirky movie pick-up lines and top ten
serious movie pick-up lines I’m not sure
any of them would actually work in real
life so use them at your own risk

and to give you a sneak peek on how we
do things behind the scenes che
WatchMojo to help me is death Hey okay
let’s start with a comment from this
really his name pedophile disguised as a
school asks do you guys have to be so
scripted sy and it actually says sy on
my paper but anyway while YouTube has
historically been a platform for
opinionated hosts WatchMojo has always
been a very factual and research heavy
channel as we’ve said a bunch of times
before and our top tens are a prime
example of this even our early stuff
like biographies and how-to were heavily
scripted so while it’s not scripted in
the terms like drama or comedy has to be
this is still factual infotainment so
when we decided to do that what’s your
mojo show part of it was to show the
faces behind the voices you know can you
tell somebody else with that one anyway
but we also wanted to keep it
professional and scripted however you
know we’re huge on feedback so we’re in
the early stages of making some
programming changes that will reflect
that what changes I don’t know I forgot
to read this before we shot and now I’m
also kind of stressed but let’s press on
use a question that comes up in the
comments a lot and it’s basically how do
we decide who narrates what short answer
we flip a coin no not really but
seriously folks we’re both lucky enough
to have many roles and responsibilities
at WatchMojo and early on we conducted
some basic focus groups to decipher
which of our voices groups react to
better and we’ve more or less stuck to
those patterns over time we do
occasionally thumb-wrestle which as you
know led to this unfortunate incident
oh my god how many times do I have to
apologize for that once would be nice
anyway as we started doing last week we
are letting you guys get to know us a
little bit better so Dan what is or are
your favorite TV shows well always a big
fan of the citizens the early stuff
before season 8 of course big fan of The
Wire probably my favorite HBO show I’ve
been watching a lot of Futurama and
Archer lately sums Bob’s Burgers what
about you well there are quite a few
shows I can quote back to you verbatim
and I watch all those shows that
everybody watches but my number one
would have to be 30 rock because Tina
Fey is my spirit animal
I also watch jeopardy every day because
I’m a huge nerd you’re so boring okay
what’s your favorite city well I am
boring so I don’t have a great answer to
this you know I’ve been to New York
loved it been to LA had a great time
Vegas I’m not gonna talk about it but it
was fun um but I actually visit
Stratford Ontario a lot home of the
festival theatre and birthplace to none
other than Justin Bieber and that is not
why I go there but it is one of my
favorite cities in Canada and in the
world how about you you Globetrotter
well for me and I’d say it has to be a
split between Paris and Milan
Who am I kidding I didn’t know where
I’ve been to Bangkok that was pretty
cool I’m a fan of Montreal because I
live here but I’m I’m pretty boring I’m
too poor to travel I can’t believe I
forgot my own hometown of Montreal and
now I’m pandering but of course I do
love Montreal anyway next question
favorite musical artist go Tom Waits
tool and the misfits okay same question
well I lean towards the classic rock and
I guess I like glam rock
stuff so listen to a lot of journey and
Bon Jovi and Elton John and you know I
like singers that have a really good
voice but I also I love the Foo Fighters
which is modern earth and stuff so
that’s good and every novelty song ever
written
so yeah it’s toss up always with the
eighties anyway now that that’s out of
the way let’s finish up with some
comments of the week
