Okay, I'll be the first to admit there's not much substance here, but it made me laugh out loud (while cringing at memories of teenybopper relationship angst) on this lazy Sunday, and I thought others might like it. :) posted by amyms at 7:51 AM on July 1, 2007

Nothing like a good stream-of-consciousness rant from an illiterate teenager. I'm jealouse of her mad writing skillz posted by SteveTheRed at 8:05 AM on July 1, 2007
Right now, I am weeping for the English language.
I am also dismayed that people like this will be the humanity that we'll be forced to depend upon when we are old, withered and infirm. God help us all. posted by mstefan at 8:11 AM on July 1, 2007
I have come to the conclusion that for many people punctuation s inherently frightening and they would rather see it done away with. posted by Astro Zombie at 8:14 AM on July 1, 2007

It doesn't mean she's illiterate, it just means she's venting... lol... I think most (if not all) of us have screamed or written incoherently in the heat of anger. posted by amyms at 8:15 AM on July 1, 2007

It was funnier once he stopped making reading mistakes. And yeah, it's a painful flashback to being a teenager. posted by miss lynnster at 8:22 AM on July 1, 2007
That guy's done other readings on YTMD that are funny. I remember he did one from Ebaum's dad once which was pretty excellent. posted by dobbs at 8:27 AM on July 1, 2007

Did I really just get rickrolled on MetaFilter? That was certainly unexpected. posted by Partial Law at 8:36 AM on July 1, 2007
Btw, Senator Ted "Tubes" Stevensmay get indicted for a shady contracting job on his house. His son, an Alaska state senator has already been indicted on some other sundry corruption charges. posted by delmoi at 8:37 AM on July 1, 2007

Huh? Who posted a Rick Astley link? (Not that that would be a bad thing, necessarily. I just don't see one in this thread) posted by amyms at 8:42 AM on July 1, 2007
I am a bit on the confused side. She says that he came to breakfast every morning and sat by her seven year old brother. She also says her mother put her up to it.
Was she dating her stepfather? Her brother? Her stepbrother? posted by flarbuse at 8:59 AM on July 1, 2007
Appropriate for MetaFilter? I have no idea. Hilarious? I vote yes. I passed this around to all my friends when it first came out but had since forgotten about it. Thank you for bringing it back to me. posted by CitrusFreak12 at 9:22 AM on July 1, 2007
Perhaps the most memorable flourish on Metabomb's video is the way he handles the short argument from his last breakup, which alternates rapid-fire 16th notes with longer, off-the-beat triplets. posted by Sailormom at 9:38 AM on July 1, 2007
Oh man I am watching these clips on my new iPhone and now I have the giggles. And I am in church. Not good. posted by vronsky at 11:20 AM on July 1, 2007 [2 favorites has favorites]
I am going to keep the sound effect from the mathowie one on in an endless loop until I die. posted by tristeza at 11:35 AM on July 1, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
I managed to tape a short argument from my last breakup, and things got pretty heavy. (nudity, NSFW, swearing, etc.)

The dramatic reading reminded me strangely of the Talking Moose. I think it would be great if all breakups were delivered via Talking Moose. posted by escabeche at 11:57 AM on July 1, 2007
Does anyone have any idea why YTMND audio refuses to loop for me like it used to? I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu (Feisty). posted by LeeJay at 12:28 PM on July 1, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
did you install the noloop, LoopLess, or YTMNDOnceOnly extensions? posted by lastobelus at 12:43 PM on July 1, 2007
man. Even the second time I watched it I had trouble making it to the loop on the ninja's one. Because I was like managing to convince myself that I hadn't watched it all the way to the loop the first time. posted by lastobelus at 1:04 PM on July 1, 2007

Nope. No extensions. It's very strange. posted by LeeJay at 3:35 PM on July 1, 2007

Until YTMND, I really thought I was the only one who absolutely detested this particular line and subsequent laugh in the latest “Quizno’s” commercials.
I ruined that commercial for my boyfriend by pointing out her laugh and how irritatingly special it was. He said that he wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for me, and now we cringe every time it comes on the TV. I am glad it's not followed me back to the UK. posted by saturnine at 4:46 PM on July 1, 2007
The "get your free corn" one is perhaps the first YTMND link I've laughed at in 3 years.
Also, I would demand to know Rick Astley's whereabouts 9 months before Clay Aiken's birth. I think we found proof of either cloning or a time machine, one or the other. posted by Ynoxas at 5:20 PM on July 1, 2007
My favorite so far -
Watch it for 30 seconds solid and see if you can hold it together.
I got to fifteen seconds before my brain started leaking out of my nose. posted by AmberV at 5:36 PM on July 1, 2007
YTMND is so great at finding the essence of something, the thisness, the haecceity.
Some really good ones ya. This one introduced me to the peppers meme waay back when, laughed a lot...cried a little on the inside too..hrm.. posted by samsara at 6:49 PM on July 1, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
flarbuse: I am a bit on the confused side.
Me too, although I didn't get an incest vibe from it. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but when I was a teenager my parents would not have been ok with my boyfriend wandering downstairs to eat breakfast with my 7-year-old siblings, and all that this implies. posted by naoko at 7:35 PM on July 1, 2007

You mean Matt didn't send hired goons around, forcing you to cough up five bucks or else, with a promise to return if you didn't contribute regularly? How did you get off so lightly? posted by UbuRoivas at 9:53 PM on July 1, 2007

I think it might be breakfast at school. posted by concrete at 6:13 PM on July 2, 2007
In what, a one-room schoolhouse?
I was assuming that the author of this thing is at least in junior high, and therefore not going to the same school as the 7-year-old. posted by naoko at 8:01 PM on July 2, 2007
I remember some kids like this when I was in 5th or 6th grade. It's kind of hard to tell her age from her writing, but I think it's possible that she was still in elementary school when she wrote it. posted by concrete at 12:08 AM on July 3, 2007
