Should probably have a NSFW tag for language and attitude.
As has been said a million times before, the Internet in general, and Metafilter in specific, is not safe for work. Don't browse if you're afraid of getting caught. But more specific to this post? The link is labeled "Fuck your...horse outside." You should be able to figure it out without a tag. posted by explosion at 1:03 PM on December 11, 2010 [3 favorites]
no, pretty much it should be labeled nsfw. posted by msconduct at 2:24 PM on December 11, 2010

Consistent use of plastic bag headgear A+ would watch again posted by benzenedream at 5:51 PM on December 11, 2010
Umm, explosion? The person you're quoting is the OP! Not some nay-sayer (no pun intended).
This is hilarious--thank you for sharing! I wish I had subtitles, though, because I feel like I'm not getting all of the jokes because I can't understand all of the accent. Fantastic nonetheless. posted by nonmerci at 7:37 PM on December 11, 2010

Up The RA would never have seen airtim 15 years ago. I could not get the player to work yesterday, because of the beginning image of a couple of the men who were on the 'No Wash'protest in Long Kesh. This brought back some memories. I met two different peoplevwho had been in Long Kesh and had been part of the 'No Wash'protest. posted by Katjusa Roquette at 5:13 AM on December 12, 2010
This is very strange indeed. I'm not sure if I like it, but I can't stop watching. I'm tempted to send this link to a few friends, but I have no idea how they'll react either. I think I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. posted by TurkishGolds at 6:43 AM on December 12, 2010
Cue campaign to make this christmas number one... posted by Acey at 9:09 AM on December 12, 2010
Holy Christ on a bicycle, that was funny, especially the Maderia cake bit. I only wish I'd seen this before Friday's 12 Pubs.
Their explanation for Up the RA (and the concept of the unreliable narrator) is very nearly as funny as the video itself, in case anyone missed it:
"So if you listen to UP DA RA literally, without exploring its subtext then it is wide open for misinterpretation. As its author, I wrote the song for a 21st century audience who are very familiar with postmodern Irony. Also, any song whereby the narrator threatens to chase the Queen of England around a field with dog shit on the end of a golf club should generally be taken with a pinch of salt. For example, If you were walking down the road and a man who talks to himself and smells heavily of piss tells you that you can use old condoms as currency, would you then save all your used condoms and try and buy a jumper with them in River Island.?? Probably not, because the mans view of society is unreliable." posted by Kreiger at 9:20 AM on December 12, 2010 [1 favorite]

Yoke is typically used in place of the word "thing", for instance, "Gimme that yoke there." .... " Like thing, it is more frequently used to refer to objects for which the actual name is cumbersome to say or more difficult to call to mind. It is also used as an insult: "You're some yoke" .... Yoke is also a slang term for an ecstasy tablet.
