Brian always laughs at me.

But he said I should do it, and I was on my way. About 10 minutes later, I had a decent drawing of Ollie Williams up on the window, telling us it was cloudy.

Not bad eh?

Well, I went on to post it on Reddit thinking a few people might chuckle and potentially giving me an upvote. Boy, was I ever wrong.

The image above starts with the final count of the Reddit post as of this writing, and it climbed as high as 20th on the front page of r/funny (that I observed). The imgur stats are staggering: 9 hours up, 141,110 views, and 57.6GB of bandwidth!

I’m glad to have you in our office, Ollie, you’ve certainly made my day a lot more interesting!

UPDATE (12/7/2011): Final stats are amazing. 729 upvotes on Reddit, 198,146 views and 81.12GB of bandwidth on imgur. Madness!

Recently, Teletoon did a bit of changing with their “Teletoon at Night” program. They added Fearless Fred to their roster, added a bunch of new shows, and are doing their best to promote not-so-well-known cartoons!

I LOVE what they are doing with Teletoon at night. The simple addition of Fred to do some really basic voiceovers and segues between shows is great: he’s personable and he’s witty, and he can even take a boring message about parental discretion and add a bit of good natured humour to it.

It’s difficult for me to explain exactly why I love it all, but I will do my best: Teletoon has managed to create a great atmosphere for not-so-kid-friendly cartoon shows, and they have fun while doing it.

It seems simple enough to do, but it’s a pretty fine line to walk. I hope more people tune into Teletoon at Night and Fred at Night because they are such a treat to watch.

Thanks Teletoon, you make watching cartoons easy!

Awesome. They updated the content of the intro to be a little more relevant.

This is rather old, but it has to given its fair dues.

Beautiful. Enough said.

Well it is time to rejoice fellow Canucks! We finally have a service that streams television shows online – legally – and for Canadians! I present you: The CTV Video Player.

I recently discovered it while searching for a site that would play the most recent episode of Fringe. Sure, they interrupt the show to play commercials, but they are fairly negligible as they are usually less than 10-15 seconds each. The only problem is that if you’re playing them in full screen, it will take away the full screen mode to play the advertisement, forcing you to go into full screen again.

But who am I to complain? CTV gets online ad revenue, a greater online presence, and I get a way to watch shows I love!

Here is the complete list of shows the CTV Video Player hosts:

1. Canadian Idol 2008
2. Comedy Now!
3. Corner Gas
4. Degrassi: TNG
5. Desperate Housewives
6. ER
7. etalk
8. Flashpoint
9. Fringe
10. Gossip Girl
11. Greek
12. Instant Star
13. Grey’s Anatomy
14. Live The Drama
15. Mad Men
16. Private Practice
17. Robson Arms
18. So You Think You Can Dance Canada
19. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
20. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
21. Two and a Half Men
22. Canada’s Walk of Fame
23. Whistler
24. TMZ

Pretty nifty, eh? Check them out here.
