Brittani’s Video Party: Naya Rivera is a Sexy Scorpion and Kendrick Lamar Likes Cereal

Greetings. This is Brittani’s Video Party, where I bring some of the “best” videos from all over my internet together so we can clap, cry or deconstruct. Have you ever gotten to a video and it already has 33 million views and you wonder where the heck have you been? Well I’m here to help you so that you see it when it only has 32 million views. Aim low, world. Aim low.

Clearly we all know the video of the week has come and gone. I didn’t miss that but I somehow missed the video for “Supermassive Black Hole.” I blame literally every person on the planet for not alerting me about Naya Rivera in this video with her face being the way that it is and her body doing the things that it does. She teamed up with those cello dudes from Glee‘s Michael Jackson episode so she could turn into a sexy space scorpion lady. It has a lot of dudes dressed in coveralls nodding their heads vigorously but brave the storm and ye shall be rewarded.

Do you know what the internet needs? People talking about their favorite cereal and cartoons from their childhood. I’m 100% serious. I would listen to anyone I have any sort of interest in talk about these things. Kendrick Lamar spills his cereal strategy and what fictional city he wanted to live in. This makes sense given he has a song called “Cartoon and Cereal.”

When I was little, I wanted to play football one year but the team was “filled up” and there were “no spots.” Times haven’t changed much. The good ol’ boys have dug into the handbook to find a rule stating girls can’t play in response to baller ass 11-year-old Caroline Pla putting in work on the field.

In an effort to become more connected with the LGBT community through dance, choreographer Jekajane came out via a video featuring her and a ladyfriend dancing to “Miss Right” by Ne-Yo. Personally, I wish more people would come out using complicated dance numbers.


If you have a video you think everyone should see, tweet it to @bishilarious for consideration. And of course feel free to post your favorite videos from the week below.

  1. Wow Naya, just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, that eyebrow raise ~1:37, I think I just died and went to heaven.

  2. Caroline is so adorable and badass and also kinda looks like my baby sister. If anyone can convince people to change their stupid rules it’s probably her.

  3. YES FRUITY PEBBLES. My parents never bought it but my grandpa always stocked this shit for me & my brother and it was THE BEST EVER. I loved that video. He’s my kinda people.

  4. I MAY be hella attracted to both Jekajane and her dance partner Karen right now… something about confident, sassy, and well-executed dance… queer dance, fuggedaboudtit…

  5. Why thank you for reccing that Naya Rivera vid, cause I probably wouldn’t have found it otherwise XD (those cello laying boys were somewhat amusing though, with their nodding and facial expressions, haha ^^)

  6. It looks like there is just barely enough room for a small lady-loving lady to fit between Naya and that wall at 1:40. I volunteer to find out.

  7. Umm I didn’t really like the Naya Rivera thing… I don’t know, I get weirded out by women being so overtly sexual in music videos. It’s not sexy to me, it’s just uncomfortable. It looks like they’re trying way too hard. Anyway.

    That Ne-Yo dance number was delicious though! THAT was sexy to me. I love watching people who really know how to dance. :D Also I totally felt what she was saying at the beginning of the video, about how dance is something that she could always feel free in, or whatever exactly it was. I totally feel that way. Dance expresses what I cannot always say in words, or even think about clearly, even if no one but me ever sees it.
