haha, i loved the blue ball NY machine. that was really creative.
WOW!!!!
it worked in so many ways.
AC as friend
AC as teacher
AC as mother?
WOW!!!
Nice. Way to bring an internet page to real life. I think the blue ball needs to make cameos from here on out…
Anybody know the composer of that song off the top of their head? Was it Woody Herman? Too lazy to google.
Just loved Friday’s episode — made me laugh. You guys are too clever — keep it up!
Are you nursing?
Cute. I heard balls make for good company. Tom Hanks thought so.
That was so enjoyable to watch. Extremely clever! I loved it!
Cute, but are they house broken yet?
aaah.. sweet, nursing a bleuball family! :D
Amanda, did youu have that thing gaffe taped to your head? Or was that from model training…Or eerie mind powers?
Awsome ep, guys. I think i love your diversions the best.
Very funny and cute.
Insert your own blue balls joke here!
Blue ball; schmoo ball. Next time take a Pieball out to lunch with you.
Ooops!
you say RB doesn’t do ‘invasive product placements’ but halfway through that segment i saw a long zoom in of amanda with her new blue buddy crawling through a conspicuously prominently marked PLAYBOOSTER tunnel… now I’m confused…
Amanda lives on the corner of Dorky and Stylish. And the rest of us didn’t think those streets were in the same city.
Very touching.
That was my brain! Anyhow, It was great to spend a playful day bouncing around town with Amanda.
The ending? When my brain hurts, it starts replicating itself through some mysterious blue-ball-nano-technology.

HAIL ROCKETBOOM!
HAIL AMANDA!
HAIL VLOGONIA!
Dear Rocketboom,
Thank you so much for taking blue ball to new levels of absurdity.
PS: Score for reading PHP and MySQL to the kids!
Way to up the weird factor! brought a tear to my eye, a chill to my spine, and a bit of milk up my nose. thanks!
How can I possibly come back to your Vlog all and each day?
I mean, how credible is this? A blue ball with a soul … it’s degrading the very human intelligence to compare us with that … crazy stuff.
And the small balls even did not look like the big one (different blue), it’s even less credible.
And how you can possibly make so much advertising for companies that sell alive-blue-balls … I mean, are you like current TV? Are you working now for the advertising industry? By your fault, I will now be forced to buy a blue ball (and shoes for sale).
And did you think about the danger for human beings those blue balls represent? They are crazy!! Who knows, they could make crazy blue graffiti everywhere just to appear in the next RB’s show?!! It could foster the imagination of all the crazy blue balls of the world and push them to paint and damage the doors of poor innocent people. I mean, we know they are stupid and do whatever they see on RB.
And especially that we see Amanda running after them, letting the biggest one alone while in the restrooms; and the last images prove that they can attack even their mother!
But maybe showing a human having children with a blue ball is another way to show your liberalism and critic the republicans? (not a question)
And Amanda who don’t speak at all! I mean, who can think to be a ground reporter without any intelligent comment to educate those ignorant viewers?
And I’ve noticed that once again we have no real news … like last time showing us this child paddling with his feet: where is the old RB’s real content I hated before? And one day, why not showing a crazy blue ball singing in German on a boat? (ironic)
And you call that journalism?!!! You should be happy that your Vlog is free of charge, because many other real journalists like me would be furious to be forced to pay to see their RB everyday.
And Amanda, out there, so natural, like a full-blown flower … where is the Amanda with her make up, glasses, serious behind her desk? Pfff…
Chad C., journalist for real and real journalist
Brilliant !! And as usual, being in NY City hardly anyone blinks an eye when they see a girl and her blue ball walking across the street, sharing a milk shake or shopping for shoes….gotta love it!! But how dare those no good ungrateful balls attack poor Amanda like they did after she was kind enough to take them in out of the cold and off of the street !
Too cool, RB, too cool.
That was great! Not go to San Francisco and do a cross between the blue ball machine and the sony bravia advert: http://www.bravia-advert.com/
Wow. I’m amazed that you folks at ROCKETBOOM put out quality content at the rate that you do. I recently watched the anniversary episode and I just had to write about it on my blog… http://photog.textamerica.com/?r=3685497 I like promoting for you guys cause I think you got something worth watching. Cheers.
Happy you took Chad the right way Amanda (& Drew I guess) … at the same time he hesitated a lot to write this engaged comment after this refreshing autumnal casual Friday’s blue balls adventure. Sorry to everyone.
All: enjoy life & your week end.
You are touched. Why aren’t there more like you?
Huh. She married him, & they had 12 kids?!
TeraLink Was Here!
casual friday at its best! thank you for this great episode! :)
I love Casual Friday.
And this segment was wonderful.
To ‘Loved_It’: Well-put.
This was funny and entertaining…I like that you have that thread of the blue-balls this week…And I really liked Graham’s video from vietnam…somtimes the “news show” gets kind of old to me, so it is nice to have fun things like this to break that up.
p.s. who was the actor that played the blue ball? he was great!
Hmmmm….
Blue balls?
Alrighty…
“Blue balls” is a modern slang term for a minor cramping men may get in the groin after they are sexually stimulated for a prolonged period but do not ejaculate.

the ny city ball machine was really cool and creative.
HAHAHA
I would have liked to have seen the ball deliver some headlines at the desk and introduce a video segment.
Good stuff!
Is that Riverside Park?
That “Dorky and Stylish” intersection remark so describes my wife. She’s what you’d get if Strawberry Shortcake and one of the girl Bratz dolls had a surrogate child together. There’s something to be said about dorky ladies with class. ;)
BTW I don’t think RB deliberately had an ‘invasive product placement’ in the sketch. The average person sees between 900-1200 advertisements a day. It would be very tedious to tray and keep out every little thing when trying to direct/edit a short film in such a short amount of time.
Lord, spare us. It’s worse than I thought. The blue ball machine site mutates. Just when you start to get a handle on it the paths all change. It’s like “Cube” with circus music.
Evil, thy name is Blue Ball Machine.
I heard that blue ball was sleeping with that sleezy pink ball. Just trying to watch your back.
-Green Ball
GREEN BALL - Why don’t you mind your own business? And what’s all this talk about you and Brown Ball? Ewwww. There! I finally said it!
WHAT ?????!!!!!
Hey, Pink B, get you’re ball out of my Blue Ball ok … Greeny Ball (ups) have nothing to do with all that … you’re just jealous of me :p Stay with your lazy Red B. and don’t even think about looking again at my BB.
Brown Ball
Love the blue ball family and it is SO nice to see that you all take care of eachother.
Here in Europe I have a yellow ball family. If you guys ever want to visit, give us a ball, I mean a call…
wow, that filled a void I didnt even know that I had…
This is hillarious. Keep it up!
What a cute way to announce the expectancy!!!
yeah
um, isnt this copywritten music?
do you consider this fair use?
