Top Ten ROFL Moments At TC50

And no, this isn’t just a link to Paul Carr’s Twitter.

10. The extended call for a flag-less world. And the single serving website it inspired.

9. Don Dodge, comedian. Between “I can’t believe your mother named you that” to “I’m from Microsoft so I don’t know how to use an iPhone” he had them rolling in the aisles. Also:
Chamillionaire, Scoble, Sean Parker, and Dick Costello, boy band.

8. @fakeyossivardi What other Israeli venture capitalist has a FAKE TWITTER ACCOUNT? Somebody please get this guy a life-stream.

7. Kevin Rose’s deadpan response (”Go blog”) to Mike Arrington’s calling him a “one-trick-pony.”

6. The Anyclip founder’s polemic, “Well they also said there’d never be a black president” to the judges’ (which included Napster founder Sean Parker) suggestion that getting the content companies to license video might be a difficult endeavor.

5. The Techcrunch50 drinking game. I downed at least three bottles of Glenlivet when the Perpetually presenter said, “Content is king.”

4. Operation Sticker Scoble.

3. The increasingly IKEA sounding start-up names. I’m looking at you Lssn.

2. The fact that Jason Calacanis broke the news of TC50’s possible demise to a hard-hitting journalist PUPPET.

1. The Whuffie Bank. God I can’t even write those words without laughing.

Agreed on most of these (though I can’t believe I missed Whuffie Bank! That name is gold!) But the iMo guy nearly whomping the judges with a baseball bat mid-presentation was a definite highlight where I was sitting. One of those “did that really just happen?” moments. That guy kind of saved the first day, which sort of dragged a bit in the middle.

How about me sneaking in a keg of beer and then getting busted for not having a liquor license?
