Le Internet Medley, a shockingly well-produced (audio AND video) LinkBait YouTube featuring The GAG Quartet (yes, there are only 3 of them, THAT'S THE GAG).

I was not shocked. Good show, however. You know, for the kids.

I enjoyed that, probably more than I should.

Do I really spend that much time online? Sheesh.

For some reason, this induced nightmare visions of people playing marathon sessions of Nyan Cat in public spaces. It would be the new flagpole sitting.

The dramatic face gag at the end really got me. Also playing instruments with leeks.

Over 40 memes? Shouldn't that be over 9000 memes?

There's a school of thought, shall we say, which says you haven't truly lost your virginity until you've lost count of the sex acts you've performed.

I'm wondering if a similar sort of informal rule shouldn't apply to culture and/or to subculture. That is, a [sub]culture isn't real culture until it moves beyond the thrall of it's own in-jokes.

But I'm not cranky. The video was amusing and the production is indeed, shockingly good.

Great video, but rocking out to Loituma has been done before.

This is a great one! Here's another one with a similar idea, Pork and Beans by Weezer, and here's the MeFi thread.
