Wow. Whatever happened to just going outside and beating each other with sticks when you're bored? If we'd had video cameras and broadband as kids two of my friends wouldn't have nicknames, one's pinky finger would flex, and my mother wouldn't cry every Christmas after seeing the scars on my brother's head.
At first I thought this was a retarded post. Then I clicked on the videos. This is hilarious. Cf. Infinite Flickr. posted by Plutor at 7:24 AM on December 29, 2006

Hey guys, Meatbomb here.
So, I just read the FPP posted by Embryo, about the responses to the youtube video "Ben takes a picture of himself every day", and it totally bites.
I've flagged it, don't think it is good enough for Metafilter.
So, yeah, don't bother clicking any of these shitty links. posted by Meatbomb at 7:52 AM on December 29, 2006

Hey guys, Embryo here again.
So I just read the comment posted by Meatbomb in response to my FPP about the responses to the youtube video "Ben takes a picture of himself every day", and it was really facetious. Just really facetious.
So, yeah, don't let him dissuade you, because he, like, prolly didn't even watch the videos. Vaultingat's response to dordo3's response to Ben takes a photo every day is where it really starts to get good. And then after that, you're over the hump. For a handy reference to which ones are the best, you can use this chart.

I was just checking out Embryo's response to Meatbomb's response to Embroyo's post and it was just aawesome, it was just awsome. Meatbomb's response is just awsome so I am going to give it 5 stars but Embryo's post was really awsome so I am going to give it 5 stars. Embryo's response to Meatbomb's response to Embryo's post was metaAwesome but kinda boring. So I give it 5 stars but take back 2 stars. But since stars are cheap, I'm going to throw in an extra 2 stars. posted by Secret Life of Gravy at 8:43 AM on December 29, 2006
Notice how fat these kids are.
And (once again) it's "..photo of himself every day", not everyday. posted by wfc123 at 8:47 AM on December 29, 2006
This would be cooler if the same people didn't come up again and again. This way it's kind of a lame semi-inside joke.

At least they're having fun. Academics are still doing this seriously with Freud Shakespeare et al, and making big money--how many years later?--and nobody bats an eye.

I've just been checking out Embryo's thread about all the responses to other people's responses to things, and I thought it was awesome. It was just awesome.
I have a feature request.

Hey guy, dgbellak here. Wussup!
Seconded, jcterminal. This reminds so much of those times about just over ten years ago when my friends would keep telling me, "Dude! You have to get on these BBS's" or "Dude! You have to get on these chat rooms - they are so cool!", and I'd finally break down and get on a few and they'd look like this.
But, embryo, I believe your intentions were pure, so thanks for the post. I could've just read comments at YouTube to get the same gist, though. The "gist" being the idea that video responses are just blog wars for the illiterate, I think. The Anti-MeFi, if you will.
Though not all the time. Sometime video responses are pretty good. posted by dgbellak at 3:25 PM on December 29, 2006

empath: so true. I think most people never saw the joke, and just saw the ridiculousness that the joke was making fun of.

Hey, guys, taz here.
I watched cortex hit that thing with his car last night? It really was a possum. I've seen other small arboreal marsupials that cortex has hit on the road, like that koala once? - But they were just stupid. Most of them didn't look anything like a possum. This really was a possum. Just a possum. Check it out. posted by taz at 1:03 AM on January 2, 2007
Perhaps, then, cortex might find this of some use. And you too, taz. Check it out. posted by flapjax at midnite at 2:27 AM on January 2, 2007
