If you’re attending Comic-Con this weekend, don’t worry about missing out on any of the big events. Chances are, the random people in your vicinity are just as cool. Thanks to YouTube, just about any of the convention attendees may be minor celebrities. Take for instance Michael Agrusso and Brinna Li, the duo behind the hugely popular YouTube Channel appropriately named ItsJustSomeRandomGuy, which a New York Comic Con press release referred to as “a genuine internet superstar.” You’ve probably seen their videos, at least here on SpoutBlog, which feature Marvel and DC character action figures in brilliant parodies of the “I’m a Mac; I’m a PC” commercials.
Speaking of which, last week they had another excellent episode satirizing the huge buzz over The Dark Knight. After that films gigantic opening, though, I’m a bit surprised there’s not a response from the Iron Man and Spider-Man figures. But I guess maybe they’re too busy with Comic-Con plans (Agrusso and Li, I mean, not Iron Man and Spider-Man).
Anyway, as you can read in the video, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy is one of probably many webcelebs without an official presence on the convention floor, either in panel or booth form. So, if you’re like me and are a fan of the videos, keep your eyes peeled for them and say, “Hello.” And since I’m not attending, give them a hug from me, while you’re at it.
