I usually don't pop in a thread to slag on something, but damn. That guy needs a restraining order from iMovie.

I thought this was cool, the gag get's old before it's over, but the first part with the 'acceptable' likes was funny.

Can anyone find the image of a 80's-orrific dog at 1:37 "Spearing little dogs?" I was unable and could really use it.

I like cheese. I do not like this so much.

Who is Tom T Hall? Where is the parody and what is it based on? Where is the music in this video? What is the novelty with this thing? What is this youtu... wait I know that.

This post actually makes me quite proud being so ignorant

The object is not to win, but to effectively utilize your body, mind and soul to engage your opponent in a dialogue to combat the oppression associated with slavery.

I gotta say that to me it seemed only natural that, if he liked all those nasty things, he would like U2, as the chorus says.

I like traffic lights, but only when they're green.

This video is like a traffic light that is red.

This would be so much better with muppets.

I'm just hugely confused

Here you go. I looked for, but couldn't find, the version with Muppets and Aerosmith.

Dear lord, that was bad. This FPP makes me yearn for those self-linking idiots who post political rants.

Yeah, actually, that was pretty bad. The Shaggs were outsider art. This guy's just... bad.

What I found most amusing about this, is this looks and sounds exactly like some "classic" punk/deathrock/goth/etc video/artist that older snots will try and convince you was amazing and revolutionary when released, and act aghast when you point out how terrible it is or how poorly it has aged.

Check this movie out, which premiered last year in the Twin Cities.
