GOOD GOLLY there's a lot to accomplish today! YouTube. Short. Weird. Made me laugh all afternoon. Sound is a must.

Not creative.
Not humorous.
In poor taste.

Neither a good post nor a good short. I also resent the fact that the guy stole my dance move.

I had such high hopes. It seemed like it was heading in a good direction with a funny punchline of some sort, then suddenly went wrong.

That is one hell of a dance move, though.

Was that Heath Ledger's final performance?
I know, I hate myself almost as much as you hate me.

If you didn't like that one, you'll hate this one, from the same guys. I love this channel!

i liked the second one more, but probably its because I grew up walking across that bridge and wondering what it would be like to fly for those few seconds before you hit the ground

These are dire. For a second I was hoping that every clip would be bad comedy with (spoiler?) someone committing suicide at the end, but it turns out just to be bad comedy.

yeah, i was kinda hoping that too, but it's kinda nice to see something with better than amateur production values (admittedly not much) featuring my hometown. It really only happens once or twice every thirty years.

I prefer the MANtage. I think I saw it posted to the front page, actually. Barats and Bereta have their own website. They kinda creep me out if I think too much about it.

Creepy but not in a particularly good way.

SPOILER WARNING:

I smiled at the idea that one would need to put straightening pictures and toothbrushing on your to-do list. It widened to a grin when he was "reading". When it got to the water I actually chuckled. When the gun showed up, the magic was over.

This was not so much because it was morbid but because it was just a cop-out. I took an undergraduate creative writing class once, and our teacher made a point of forbidding us from ending our stories with the death of the protagonist (with a double taboo against suicide). He said it usually comes from writing yourself into a corner.

How does that song go....??? oh, yeah...

".....just like Romeo and Juliette"

Good thing William didn't take that class...
