16 years…16…years…16 YEARS!!!!!
I simply cannot believe that this guy last created 16 years ago. I can remember sitting in my classroom while I was teaching in the IPS system and start my day with an Ask a Ninja video. (There was another video I used to like to start the day with as well and it had The Rock in it, but that is for another time) It went kinda like this – “Antonio? Where are you? – theres a new Ask a Ninja.” This makes me sad. I cannot decide if it is because I am 50 years old and I watched this in my early 30s – so perhaps I am lamenting my ephemeralism? Or is it that I just miss this dude creating content? Miss sitting with my buddy and laughing at how awesome this guy was? Dunno.
Anyway – what a shtick! This guy had it all. But the videography was so, so secondary to the writing. I saw that he did some stuff with Will Ferrel, back when he was actually funny, and I wonder if that led him to doing new things and he had to give up the YouTube channel. It will remain a mystery, but he is still really funny.
