This is more complex and bottomless than The Matrix.

OMG Loren you just keep getting better and better. It is the hardest I have laughed in a week. This is your all time best piece.

I had said earlier that puppets disarm people. Puppets can say things people can’t and make it funny. Calling him a french bastard was just too classic… and he laughs. Loic was great. He could not stop smiling.

If you notice in almost all of your interviews the people are relaxed and smiling more than anything I have ever seen. Seriously, don’t stop. This is the best entertainment i have seen from web video in ages.

Be Great!

That was absolutely brilliant, I never thought I’d laugh that hard at a video.

Keep up the great work and hilarious videos.

“Well it’s very simple, you actually do a video, and you say something. It could be totally uninteresting. Or it could be actually something.”

That’s the best description of social media I’ve heard to this point. And if you pitch that exact line to the right person, you get $6M in funding immediately.

Loic is growing on me a bit, though, even with his tweets about $440 pants.

By Dave Johnston on Apr 8, 2008

Brilliant! That puppet is really growing on me.

This made my day!!!

I saw this at Arrington’s house tonight and busted up laughing. I filmed that here: http://qik.com/scobleizer

By Robert Scoble on Apr 8, 2008

Missed this the first time through:

“Well get used to it, you’re in America now. There’s lots of Muppets in America!”

Yes, huge problem. And it’s not being addressed by any of the Presidential candidates.

By Dave Johnston on Apr 8, 2008

** For the record that was a joke - I love The Muppets **

I don’t want to be branded a puppet racist on a blog. Or Twitter.

By Dave Johnston on Apr 8, 2008

so let’s sum up for a minute…

loren managed to lick the ass of arrington, scoble and lemeur, people he kept bashing and insulting for the past year, and all that in less than 2 days ! wow !

when is shel’s blow job coming ?

man, your videos are funny, but you look to me like a pussy with no consistency.

or - and i think that’s closer to the truth - you four are actually friends trying to fool us, emulating each other into a supposed stardom, you playing the bad cop.

just pathetic. loren, i prefered to believe you actually hated these guys (or at least what they do). now you crossed a line.

especially when i saw this video : http://rockstartup.com/episodes/episode_31.html it proves, if need be, that all this hatred is staged, hence your rants are not only pointless but biased by sleeping with the enemy.

a bit like sleeping with the germans during WW2. weird attitude for a jew.

Haha, you’ve come full circle, this is definitely one the best interviews so far. You were very focused on this one, obviously had a lot of punches to pull. Great work!

The Olympic Torch is coming to SF today, if you’re still in the Bay area, it would be great if you could do a video to show some support for our Tibetan brothers & sisters…

By AndrewE on Apr 8, 2008

Way to be a man and post your little rant, Anonymous. It really means a lot when you don’t have the sack to use your name.

By Bob Parker on Apr 8, 2008

Teaming up with the frenchie… man, next thing you know is that the dog hostage situation will end with Shel surrending the dog without any randsom

Man keep making those muppets videos, they are awesome… you are awesome !

By Icepick on Apr 8, 2008

I’ve found that towards the end of every video I look forward to the “S” “A” “P” sign-off as the final kicker. I just love this. I can’t believe I’m loving this so much. A Friggin Puppet!
(My respect for Loic has soared)

By Isaac Garcia on Apr 8, 2008

Loic is awesome… and Shel puppet just keeps getting better.

By golfgirl on Apr 8, 2008

Loic is the shit! I had my doubts, but anyone who can that cool with you and the puppet is A-OK. The puppet, the puppet kills me! I want a Shel Israel puppet mini-puppet!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Shel Puppet for President 2008

By Tim on Apr 8, 2008

I really turned the corner and enjoy the puppets until I saw this:

>>>I saw this at Arrington’s house tonight and busted up laughing. I filmed that here: http://qik.com/scobleizer

Why not just film the circle jerk and get it over with?

By joesmith on Apr 8, 2008

Great interview. I like how Scoble is trolling the comments. He must hate you. Loic is funny on this video. What a French Bastard. I’m running to get that url.

By French President on Apr 8, 2008

Oh my god, I’m dying over here.

I just caught myself trying to explain the whole thing to a co-worker and boy do I feel like a schmuck. It’s like I’m watching a Charlie Kaufman movie play out in real life.

Puppets? Who woulda thought.

By Andy on Apr 8, 2008

LOL and here is a photo accompanything - http://www.flickr.com/photos/lorenfeldman/2397263513/

Scoble trying to save himself is funny. Scoble is over and Shel is already done.

By unveilit on Apr 8, 2008

You just keep upping the ante Loren. Kudos man.

By Robert Chute on Apr 8, 2008

Hey Shel don’t you ever eard about Tatayé The most known french muppet in the world ?

By lôtre on Apr 8, 2008

I can’t believe Shel didn’t own his own name as a domain name and now you own it…. that is pretty crazy. The only damage control possible now is for him to get on his knees and be as gracious as Loic is…. the more he resists, the worse it will get.

By trace on Apr 8, 2008

Funny…how the world goes round…

By Nir on Apr 9, 2008

Holy shit! Loren you had me dying over here. I was warned I was gonna laugh a few times at this one. That was f’n great!
