I _love_ these. I watched most of them last month -- I don't recall how I found them, but I'm guessing they got Dugg.
If you like humorous flash presentations featuring extremely fast speech (who knew it was a niche market?), check out Zero Punctuation. Very perceptive game reviews by a guy named "Yahtzee," illustrated with simple, clever flash animations. Groin-grabbingly funny, profoundly snarky yet fair.
Here's an early one -- Yahtzee's take on the console wars (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1383-Zero-Punctuation-Console-Rundown).

Ah the cynical wonderful mind of Yahtzee. I think Zero Punctuation are likely the most honest reviews I've ever seen. Funniest ones too for that matter.
When they get up on stage together at the next con someone should hand them all bunny ears and ask that they perform highlights of each other's FuMP songs in 30 seconds.
Then the audience can place bets on who gets the most words out before being overcome by giggles.

Many more where that came from.
Enjoy.
