Elevator, Escalator and Moving Walkway Saftey?

This flash video could have been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned their kid to fear and respect that elevator, escalator, or moving walkway.

Holy crap that was fucking awesome. It's like someone came up with the script in 1985 and somehow it survived in a time capsule, only to be found by a flash developer in the year 2006.

Double.

Damn. How did they not tag that post with elevator, escalator or safety?! Oh well.

Safe-T Rider appears to be a cat with the body of a man, in overalls. Sorry, I guess that's obvious to everyone, but I'm still processing that.

So, is rap now finally dead?

That was absolutely fucking hilarious. I wish I'd seen this before Halloween because I would have gone as Safe-T-Rider. Oh man, now I'm gonna have Safe-T-Rider dream/nightmares.

I had a little trouble with the sitting on the escalator question. When I'd listened to it a couple of times because I kept getting it wrong, I realised I was meant to stand still. I thought it meant don't fidget. Anyway I'm through it now and have a great certificate to put on the wall. Thanks jahmoon.

The real question here is - how did they not tag that post with "awesome"?

I kept waiting for him to rap about the part where he moves in with his auntie and uncle in Bellaire.

Wow, that just kept going, didn't it.

Yes, I watched the whole thing.
I couldn't help, it was mesmerizing.

The best part is when he does the dance breakdowns.

Shudder. I was impressed to the extent of throwing out my red high tops.

Would have been better if they had Chuck D do it.

Thank god... I can finally post this motivational video of a cat on a treadmill in a thread where it's almost relevant. You totally saved me a humiliating fpp, jahmoon.

Safe-T-Rider has got better flow than MC Double Def DP of "Don't Copy That Floppy."

It's a little-known fact, but the "DP" in "MC Double Def DP" stands for Double Penetration.

I pity the fool who doesn't respect elevators etc.

It wasn't obvious to me. I thought he was a decapitated man being controlled by a cat head.

Or, perhaps, an empty pair of overalls with human hands and a cat head grafted to the relevant openings and driven by cruel animatronics.
