What happens when you combine clips of Young Frankenstein and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer?

“The clip I used is several years old, but I only recently saw it for the first time and felt so inspired that I had to do this. It was too perfect not to try,” Daphne writes in introducing her 3:42 minute video on YouTube. Daphne’s video combines clips from “Young Frankenstein” and various appearance of Microsoft CEO Steve “Monkey Boy” Ballmer. “Young FrankenSteve” was added to YouTube on May 16, 2006, but, thanks to MacDailyNews reader “Frank,” we only now stumbled upon it. As of this post, the video’s only been viewed 4,900 times, so for those who haven’t seen it, here ya go. Note: stick with it, the song and dance number (starts at 1:30) is priceless:

  18. WOW! Thanks for all of the love, everyone! This was for the May VideoSift contest (http://www.videosift.com) and I am really amazed that so many people are enjoying it. Amazed, but very very happy.

    Thanks for the wonderful review, MDN. You’re right – it’s slow at first…but I hope the wait is worth it.

    And “Frank” (whoever you are)…THANKS!

    I’m glad it gave you guys a giggle. Steve tends to do that, doesn’t he?

  20. Why does Microsoft have to hire Demetri Martin? They already have a celebrity spokesperson, The Creature. The Creature’s wild arm flailing, immature skipping, feet stomping, crazed facial expressions, glaring eyes, and incoherent and rambling speech seem the perfect introduction for Vista. Seriously, folks, I suspect that Microsoft will receive the same reaction from PC-users when Vista is unleashed upon society as the horrified audience is with The Creature. I see a rapid increase in pitchfork and torch sales, and frequent mob gathering on moonlit nights where PCs are retailed.

    When Microsoft promised a monster OS I guess we should have taken them at their word. However, I don’t think that they expected that Vista would eventually be a ghoulish and ghastly assemblage of digital body parts of from the dead bodies of Windows NT.

  22. Well done Daphne.

    So how did you go in the contest? I am guessing it wasn’t sponsored by Microsoft? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

    I am also confused as to your profession – movie maker or anthropologist?

    Best Regards

  23. You got it, BT and little “c” sign that I can’t be bothered with to find on my computer, this is actual footage discovered at an anthropological excavation. M$ is trying to cover it all up. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

    The SiftOff is a bi-monthly contest where you can submit original material and viewers vote on the videos they like best. It’s a great way to showcase your work. Here’s the info on it: http://www.videosift.com/blog/story.php?id=1505

    The next one is in July.
