VideoJug: Life Explained on Film

The Information Superhighway can be surprisingly unhelpful. If you’re like me, you’ve spent many bleary-eyed hours hopelessly sifting through site after site after site to find the answer to what you’d mistakenly believed to be a simple question. (Try Googling something mundane like ‘how to remove grass stains’ and see the dizzying results it turns up.)
Enter VideoJug: the “encyclopedia of life.” Or at the very least, the cure to the common question.

And if you’re already thinking this is just another YouTube rip-off, well, you’ be quite mistaken. Formats including channels and reader reviews are reminiscent of YouTube, yes, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

Based in the UK and US, VideoJug has been producing professional educational videos that address subjects from kite surfing to overseas adoption and everything (I mean everything) in between. But we’re not talking educational videos in the cheesy 1980s-high-school-instructional video sense of the word. Rather, for the past two years VideoJug has consistently demonstrated unwavering professionalism in their high definition video productions, which run the gamut from tongue-in-cheek instructional video romps (how to be the perfect boyfriend) to interviews with Doctors and Physicians on serious medical issues (coping with a cancer diagnosis).

Perhaps the most addictive factor is the accessibility: there is literally something here for everyone. Never doctrinarian nor condescending in their approach, VideoJug blends humor with practical wisdom, turning it into a vastly entertaining format.

The fact that they’re all in-house productions also means that VideoJug doesn’t face the copyright infringement quagmire of its less useful (or at least, less insightful) counterpart YouTube. And, as is so often NOT the case with information on the web, VideoJug is always well researched and therefore reliable … and it’s always growing.
