This Is My Youtubes

The Guardian live-blog of the fiscal cliff talks explained the various market reaction (and analysis) going along with the various announcements by linking this:



Truly the honey-badger of liveblogs.

This deserves its own thread, but I don't feel like making one.
Just watch it, you'll thank me later.

Nic Cage's Agent

(the collegehumor embed is broken, Lum, is there an upgrade for that?)

Gag Reel - Star Trek "The Next Generation" Season 2 (HD)

It looks like someone is pulling something underneath the rug.

Well, the cat does it before it walks onto the rug, so I think what you're seeing is just the cat making the rug move.

At 1:17 you can see a string pulled quickly from under the rug.

Aw. You've ruined the whole thing for me. I hope you're happy. :(

This is reported to be the Russian plane crash yesterday. Fucking hell.


Why the dashcam?

The Blu-ray version of The Phantom Menace replaced the puppet version of Yoda with a CGI version. The puppet wasn't the original puppet, which was rotting after almost thirty years in storage. The original puppet in The Empire Strikes Back still looks more real than the CGI version.

So this happened.

I don't know whether to hope that that retarded meme fades away in 2013 or fear that an even stupider one (you always think things can't get any more idiotic yet they always do) emerges.

Hope this isn't a repost.

Found it here.

What's that? There's a boat fire, and you don't have any firefighting equipment aside from another speedboat?

Trombone player + HD camera FTW.

Who doesn't love Cotten Eye Joe? Not even Goths!

I just wanted to congratulate you on finding the video equivalent of an Amigara Fault hole shaped like Angie.

I have no idea if this is a good or a bad thing but I'm always happy to be of service!

I used this to summarize the 1980s in a discussion today.

Close, but Total Eclipse of the Heart is the 80's-est video there is.

I am choosing not to pollute this thread with it, you have a google.

sloooooooooooooooo mo dovvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee

Yeah, that's definitely up there amongst the worst videos ever made. That one and Journey's video for "Separate Ways" are two of the best examples of how much 80s videos stunk.

Why did I keep expecting them to start singing? Why am I so crushed that they never did?

If you check the channel, they at least do live appearances.

If you wanted to do the 1980s an injustice, though,

Yeah, that's not even on a "so bad it's good" level.

It's a contender among worst songs ever, its lizard-brain catchy beat and hit-status being important factors.

I mostly like 80s music I never heard in the 80s. In fairness, I was only seven when the Smiths broke up.

Plus the great irony of a song about rock and roll being pretty much the worst example imaginable of rock and roll.

Speaking of hilarious 80s videos, I'll use the opportunity to mention Til Tuesday's voices carry:


Which Aimee Mann recently reshot for her new album, thanks to Scharpling and Wurster (and Jon Hamm):

OK, that was really damn funny.
