Online Nation

What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Melissa Camacho

Bringing user-generated Web content even further into the mainstream, ONLINE NATION is an interactive series that uses online video clips from sites like YouTube to produce a show that has a lot in common with America's Funniest Home Videos.

Is It Any Good?

Like the clips shown on AFHV, the amateur digital videos include lots of parodies and pranks that range from fun and entertaining to silly and/or shocking. (And some make you wonder if the creators just had too much time on their hands.) Online personalities Stevie "Little Loca" Ryan, Rhett McLaughlin, Lincoln "Link" Neal, and actress Joy Leslie host the show, sometimes contributing their own unique online content as well.

Online Nation will appeal to today's generation of Web-savvy content producers and viewers -- especially since it provides another outlet for their digital masterpieces. And folks who aren't yet very familiar with user-generated videos can tune in to see the range of creative, unique, and sometimes slightly disturbing content that calls the Web home.
