Top 10 Pumpkin & Spice Videos

I've logged quite a few hours watching YouTube videos about pumpkin spice. Videos about spices and videos about pumpkins. Some are spicy bits of goodness, some not quite so fresh. So here's my top ten picks for pumpkin spice everything videos, from comedy, to music, to makeup.

 _______________________________

#1. In a world where pumpkin spice is everywhere... This mock movie trailer captures the essence of pumpkin spice -- if it was scary.

#2. Molly Lewis sings us this little art house ditty about the pumpkin spice season.
 

#3. I actually had no idea who Jay Pharoah was until watching this video. Some great humor using some of the many bizarre tweets about pumpkin spice.

#4. Soon, the day will come when no one will remember the Spice Girls and that song "Spice Up Your Life". In the meantime enjoy this great parody.

 

#5. This is a make-up tutorial, done by the most gorgeous man. It might be tempting to dismiss him as a fruitcake but brandy up them nuts, because I learned a lot from this guy, even after after years of doing theater make-up. So get your face in autumn theme and try this out...whether you're a man or a woman.

 

#6. A song about nutmeg. That is all. What? How could you want more?

 

#7. A short film of Indians preparing spices. Imagine the smells!

 

#8. All hail the god of Pumpkin Spice Starbucks. Here is tribute.

#9. This hails back to the repetitive flash video era, with the strangely addictive fascination, yet it is a full song and video - not just a 30 second loop. Check out the website for more fun.

#10. I couldn't not include this parody. You're welcome for this ear worm.
