Brilliant, brilliant work from Mike McDonald and the team over at WebProNews:
Make sure you watch it through to the end.
It puts nofollow on the links or else it gets the wrench again!
that's kinda disturbingly wrong Rebecca!
I was humming 'stuck in the middle' at one point though
Rand would be Mr. Yellow (shoes).
A Buffalo Bill reference, gotta love that.
Oh My God - That is Brilliant!
The only thing that would have put it over the top is if it were Cutts in the chair.
Or better yet - in Mission Impossible style - Rand in the chair, with a Cutts mask on, and when the guy says "Wait - this isn't Fishkin" - Rand dramatically pulls off the mask and says - "The name's Fishkin. Rand Fishkin."
Haha! Yep, that would be a blow!
Great video! Plenty of inside jokes though - it's not really a video I can share with anyone I know or they will just think I'm weird.
Most of my non-SEO friends think I'm weird, too. :)
Time to start watching your back Rand.
I hope this is the first of many! I look forward to the SEO video wars
Now it's up to SEOmoz to publish a follow up!
This should become an ongoing saga. I eagerly await Part II. . .
Absolutely hilarious!!!
I´m going to show this video to those link-partner-prospects that say no to my link exchange requests, and tell them I´m the guy with the wrench.
Jajajaja.
I´m still laughing.
Rand, I think you need a super hero outfit to fight the evil-doers!
That's a kick ass video
Very funny.
Great video to put a smile back on after the Monday blues!
Now onto other matters - its my Birthday - wheres the new Pro features? Or shall I hire the above goons to kidnap Rand and have him reveal all??!!
ooohhh its up... i'm liking this....
Great video Rand ! Love the sound effects and the "bad guy" !
It proves that not only SEO Consultants can be brilliant, and great ressources for everyone on the internet, but they can be funny and laugh about themselves !
Thumbs up !
hilarious! (3 thumbs down means its viral!)
AMAZING, funny and sweet video!
Really funny and original.
haha that's super great. congrats on your succes Rand. ;)
Awesome Ad! I have to agree with Sean though, I like this Mission Impossible/Matt Cutts idea.
All I see on the video end page is a big "Google Analytics" advertisement.
You probably don't have flash installed or it's disabled.
Good lord. I click "blog" and come across a picture of Mike, gagged, and someone holding a wrench! Do I really want to watch this?!
... I've watched it now. If Michael's not clutching a few statues for that one in a year's time, it'll be a travesty.
Hey, I watched it while my VP walked by my open cubicle. I about died considering I've only been here a week.
So now, I'm gonna have to forward it to him so he knows I was 'on-task'.
Sweet video though!!
I'm adding it to my myspace and going to see if I can hack it into some other UGC.

OK, seriously - who gave the video a thumbs down? C'mon, fess up! That was bloody brilliant! Of course, it would have been even better if it had been Oprah behind it all :)
Rand Fish immortalised in smx's video!
:) Thats an amazing video! Rand be Careful!
