Dustinland breaks with its usual format and offers annotations on the Funniest Thing on the Internet.

And although the video itself appears to No Longer Be On the Internet (due to the event having passed) and hopefull shall be mirrored somewhere, the annotations alone are quite enough to give you quite the image of precisely why it was The Funniest Thing on the Internet. Or at least enough to serve as a decent snarktroth for Mefites this Wednesday eve.

I certainly did read the strip. Without the original video it is Hamlet without the Prince. Sorry.

I'm guessing this invitation to snark is what is starting this all out wrong.

Tom Scharpling and Paul F. Tompkins had the absolute best GotJ commentary on The Best Show a few weeks ago. (Streaming MP3, go to 1h27m, prepare to laugh so hard you vomit.)

Or, like, mebbe somebody could link to the actual video which he be annotatin' and shit? Cuz it's not happenin' with just the text and screengrabs and whatnot.
Fo shizzle.

Or something.

(Let it be known that I have a late middle-aged appreciation for the ICP, having worked a number of their shows.)

I just heard this great joke. It's HILARIOUS! Unfortunately I don't, um, actually remember the joke, but sit down and let me tell you all the many ways reasons that I think it was funny. I promise you'll be laughing too!

Floydd: the problem is, the video has either been locked behind a password wall or has been removed from YouTube altogether, and there are no mirrors which I can quickly locate.

"Hamlet without the Prince" is by no means an original coinage, I'm sad to say. When I worked in documentary films it was standard usage for any really good story where you couldn't get the protagonist on camera.

Here is a copy of the original video.
I'm gone for two months and you guys forget how to properly use google?

Isn't there a long and surprisingly-interesting open thread about this?
