  3. Wow what are you drinking?

    I watched the CSI show and was caught off guard because I had no prior knowledge of the show. So it was a pleasant surprise. Keep those surprises comin and I’ll keep on readin.

  4. Me, in my infinite wisdom, forgot to check my local listings. As a result I only caught the last 10 minutes of the show :-( Now to find a torrent…

    I hadn’t tuned into CSI for some time but did last night. I also happened to be on the computer when your segment was shown and decided to see if you really existed. Yes, I’m one of those people. Never heard of you but am so glad I found you. What a great start to the day. I’ve bookmarked and passed your site along. Looking forward to next week!

  10. Just stumbled across rocketboom today, and I think it is hilarious!

    (I can’t make out some of the asides. Is there a reason they are so quiet that I can’t hear them with my volume all the way up?)

  16. “Wycliff, wycliff you get your ass in here….. momma needs some lovin’ “You must have auditioned for that Virgin Mobile ad from last year featuring the trailer park princess who traps Wycliff Jean in to marrying her by signing a contract he failed to read. I could see you and Wycliff on the same page! You probably weren’t skanky enough to get the part. Although you did manage to downshift from vlog goddess to skanky really well for this. For shame. A Virgin loss to become Rocketboom’s and now CSI’s gain.

    That was cool on CSI. Any other shows in the works for network TV? How about movies?

  18. Great job, Amanda. But what was up with the way CSI listed rocketboom in the search engine results? Did you notice the double www?

    http://www.www.rocketboom.com

    What’s up with that?

    Oh, and Letterman is next for you. Before the year is out. I see and know all.

  21. If you look at the synopsis on the CSI site, this line may catch your eye:

    “He videostreams a blog that shows a sexy young reporter talking about the bodies of Ally and Nash being found in the same vicinity.”

    http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/episodes/614/4.shtml

    Amanda will go down in history as a “sexy young reporter”.

  22. the depiction of the back hollow country girl was scarily on target. i spent a few years in deepest reaches of appalachia and i’ve met that person before.

    this just in:

    Subject: Center for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a
    warning …

    The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new
    Virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease.

    The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior.
    The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced “gonna re-elect
    him.”

    Many victims contracted it in 2004, after having been raped from 2001 - 2004. Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected
    include:

    anti-social personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with
    messianic overtones, extreme cognitive dissonance, inability to
    incorporate new information, pronounced xenophobia and paranoia,
    inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked
    by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of
    geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy,
    categorical all-or-nothing behavior.

    Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive
    disease originated only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas.

  23. Such talent! Such versitility! (and she can dance, too!)

    How come some TV producer hasn’t snatched her up for a series already?

    Just so long as it isn’t some reality show - those things never work out…

  24. Congratulations on a fine casual Friday and some mad wild acting But one thing–I wonder why so many of the comments are by men Where are the women The talents of Rocketboom sure seem to be beyond just one sex (not that there’s anything wrong with it!)

  30. Dear Amanda,
    It is amazing to see such a lovey lady be so scary. You do that white-trash thing quite well. You remind me of some of the people I used to see in Walmart where I used to live. Interesting folk though they be, they possesed a different spin on reality. Illmannered and crude, however, they offered rather gritty chit-chat.
    You are an the artest.You see thing that are not, and make them so.

  32. It was fairly disturbing to see you on CSI “reporting” the kind of story Rocketboom would never, never, never in a million years carry. I wasn’t sure whether to cheer wildly at your managing to acheive total media saturation or to sob at the commercial crassness of it all.

  33. Well done, Amanda & the team.

    Again far away from just being “nice” or only funny. I appreciate the craziness in this casual friday’s episode.

    Best regards from Frankfurt/Germany

  39. No, Rafael IS on crack. It is cool to see your range of acting abilities. You were believable on CSI, and also believable as a TRASH TALKING, DOUBLE WIDE, TRAILER QUEEN. True, kinda scary, but also kind of exciting in a perversly perverted way. If I had’nt seen your talents in the past, and just came upon your redneck clip, I would be running like hell.
    I hope you guy’s made a bucket load of money off of that CSI thing, because that was the only reason I watched that episode, was for you Amanda. I hope they kicked you down a new Lambo.

    P.S. Eddie is one lucky dude.

  40. The redneck bit reminded me of Charlize Theron’s broken harlot performance in Monster. Reminded me a lot of hanging around the theatre group. I watched the CSI thing on Chuck Olson’s vlog via FireAnt (so sedate compared to the outtakes):)

  46. Let’s hear it for the DVR. CSI is getting too gruesome to watch anymore, so I recorded it and fast-forwarded until I saw that familiar smile. Congrats on getting some on-air network face time. Just don’t forget us little people in your Emmy acceptance speech.
    ;-)

    Viva la Boom!!

  47. I just love Bullshit. And it is on the NYT best seller list too! Gotta be something to it. And that Amanda: She has the best bullshit around. I noticed that Horseshit didn’t make the best seller list and I am sure that there are people like you that like that vlog too. Each to his own. But for me when I want to see top quality bullshit I spell it Rocketboom. And you should too!

  49. My eyes might have been playing tricks on me, but I don’t think TiVo is… I’m fairly certain that I just saw Amanda on a trailer for a new NBC series ‘Conviction’

    A still is be available in my linked (http://c0rk.textamerica.com/?r=4170860) moblog. — Although only on the screen for a moment, I think she’s saying something about ‘parole’. Anyone else catch this?

  53. Seems like a missed opportunity to me. As a longtime viewer, I thought you guys were going to take things to a new level after the CSI promo. If nothing else, it probably would have been better to do the normal news style show. Oh well, there is still the Ebay dream.

  54. ** UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT **

    It has come to my attention that the individual I saw on the NBC ‘Conviction’ promo was not Amanda, but Stephanie March. Apparently she’s a regular on the Law & Order shows.

    Nevertheless, I still feel that this was an easy mistake to make (http://c0rk.textamerica.com/?r=4175136)

    Sorry for the mix up!

  62. Ok, that had to be the worst impression of someone “High”. Amanda, I can guess that you have never done a hard drug in your life. Your “High” character was working way to hard to get their lines right!
