WARNING - massively addictive - like channel surfing through time and across the world !
I've probably lost your attention already (oy, back over 'ere).
There is just so much great stuff on YouTube. Yes, there's lots and lots or crap too, but there is really good stuff too. For instance, can't remember where that mime of Torn is - here it is.
A few of my fave's (but I keep finding new stuff):
Music Video - gotta be Ok-Go. This one was so big, this single is now playing on top 40 radio !
Comedy - A Warm Welcome. I'd only heard this one on CD previously.
Made-up - Male Restroom Etiquette.
Get this sidenote - I actually heard these snippets of CONVERSATION between two chaps in their stalls in the office loo this morning - the cost of flying, Kyoto and LG televisions. Forget the etiquette from the vid, that surely has to break some basic low level rule of decency.
And a few big categories to browse through at your leisure:
Anything by Dane Cook - gotta be one of the funniest, visual American comedies today (even my wife thinks he's funny). He's hosted SNL at least twice with great monologues. He made a weird reference to in the last one - "you'll find anything on YouTube, just randomly bang on the keyboard, get A:F6 and search for that in YouTube and you'll get...".
Anything from The Secret Policeman's Ball. For those not familiar with this event, it's a great charity benefit that has some top notch musical performances and the best of Brit comedy - all for a good cause. The podcasts are available here too, but more on that later.
Anything by Jon Stewart. Arguably American's funniest. Smart, topical, observational.
Anything with Ricky Gervais. Arguably Britain's funniest. Smart, irrelevant, awkward.
Plus lots of great TV commercials, car stuff and sports.
This posting took a little while longer to write because I got caught watching a lot of videos while doing the "research".
Enjoy.
