You know how sometimes you'll be browsing the web, and come across a video or picture that just completely fucks your mind because it makes no sense at all?
Well, here, some people dancing to the legendary Song of Storms, from the video game Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Jesus, WTF.

And this one is for fans of Left4Dead:

GET TO THE CHOPPAAAAA. Catchy.

I thought to submit this as a new thread, but I think it's better suited here. I only remembered this video only because of the "Animated Shorts" thread, and a guessing game I'm in right now about asian comedians.

Oh... for those not on Digg much, search for RoboGasha, or some variation. It is... mindbending.

I totally forgot to post Nannerpuss. Thanks for the laugh.

I get a vicarious kick from those handsome dudes dancing in the first vid.

That one gentleman, towards the stairs,
makes glorious unabashed love to the wall and.....a chair cushion?

I'm loving it.
They look relaxed and being in the moment sexy.

Pogue Mahone

No problemo. I actually have an image of Nannerpus on my phone for the longest time and I'd look it whenever I feel down. It's never without fail cheered me up.

Gotta love the Nannerpus.

I'm sure this makes sense in context, and is probably pretty hilarious if you understand Japanese slapstick comedy some 20 years ago, but as a compilation entry, it's pretty out there.

Alright, here is one more that makes you scratch the noggin.

And to add, I am not a Mario or Nintendo fanatic in any way; why should I be when it took me nearly ten frickin' years to beat Super Mario World and obtain 100% completion.
I just happened upon this strange cartoon by untimely coincidence and curiosity.




post-script: and for those of you that endured the torture of sitting through that entire thing, wondering who in the world would want to be associated in delivering this type of message and entertainment to children, this oblique quote by Jack Handy makes just a little bit more sense now in the context:

Great.

This isn't as good, and the guy talking is a little more annoying than the daily news, but the song is something that makes no sense in the sense that it is original, and catchy. Scratch your head, and enjoy the vacuous content, if that's your schpiel.

Love the mario sex ed one. Reminded me of this:


and this (is that Joe Mantegna's voice?)


This is one of my alltime favourites. Turn your speakers up for best effect.

Jetée

Automatic awesome gold star for you. The above video is one of my all-time favorites to reminisce on (and every 5-25, I occasionally look for the original thread and dig it back up).

I had no idea it was on YouTube, and it must have been featured somehow (maybe later?), as those corporate suits don't usually allow just any one to upload videos that exceed 10 minutes.

Thanks Jetee. I've seen a few vids on youtube longer than 10 mins mostly relating to computer games - walkthroughs and speedruns and such. And there's feature films on there too that seem to be 'official' and not split into parts.

Watching it again my favourite one's now Peanut Butter and JAAAAAM!!!! which I've found out is from a show called the Trailer Park Boys. It's the first I've seen of it but does anyone know if the actual show's any good? If that clip is any indication of the show's funnyness I might have to buy some boxsets.

Peter Greenaway's feature debut, The Falls (1980), is three hours and fifteen minutes of rambling, almost coherent but meticulously thought-out nonsense describing, with grave candour and a dry, lucid wit the effects on 92 people whose surname begins 'Fall-' of a vague and unspecified phenomenon known as the Violent Unknown Event (V.U.E.). It's an absurdist masterpiece of pointlessness and excruciatingly detailed triviality and, in its entirety, admittedly fairly unwatchable. I had to watch it in bitesize chunks, fifteen minutes at a time. This is one of the 92:



Watch the entire film here: The Falls (1980) Digital | LOVEFiLM

The earlier shorts, Water Wrackets (1975), Dear Phone (1977) and A Walk Through H: The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist (1978), provide a more accessible glimpse into Greenaway's extraordinary imagination. See The Cook, the Thief, his Wife & Her Lover (1989) for the closest he ever got to the mainstream.

truthful commentary:
I'm not sure why I didn't initially suspect where this video's premise was going to,
but when it hit, (@ around the 48 sec mark) I nearly broke an upper rib.
My naivete allowed for this funny to occur (and perhaps my nature of seldom reading youtube titles or descriptions).

alright, the above actually makes some semblance of sense, but I'd rather not create a thread to discuss its merits of definition, so... here you are dropped.

Old Spice and Wieden+Kennedy continue to display their willingness to push comedy in advertising with this new set of Old Spice ads. This time utilizing the comedic genius of directors Tim & Eric from the Awesome Show to push the deodorant. Plus they all star the amazing Terry Crew, the titan of all comedic actors.

This description for “Punch” explains it all; “Punches stop people, Odor Blocker stops odor, and parachutes stop drag race cars. This commercial illustrates two of those three points.”

The two advertisements that are premier, in my opinion, are "Blocker" and "Flex", in that order. "Punch" is 'meh', at best.

Trailer Park Boys is a Canadian show, so most of the Canucks here have probably heard of it, at least.

It seems to be generally acknowledged as something that's an acquired taste, but I enjoy it at least. Maybe try watching a few episodes through alternative means before dropping money on a box set.

(it will no sense to about 89% of the audience, as the video has no context.
Also, it's really an existentialist rant in French, so those that are not accustomed to hearing such things will think it odd.)

alright, locating this video took an extraordinarily long and agonizing time, mostly because I couldn't remember exactly what I was looking for, as I first watched maybe 4 or 5 years back, and I'm actually kind of sorry I did find it (and then, decided to share here, no less).

alas, I'm sorry if you decide to watch this: Tralala Compilation Video | Music Video | NearlyGood.com
(I couldn't find it anywhere else, not on youtube, metacafe, or the like)

also, stuff I learned about in the hour or two span I kinda half-heartedly was searching for the above:

apparently the song featured is that of the artist 'Gunther' (and the Sunshine Girls?) entitled, the "Ding Dong Song" (Tralala).

ah, it was originally released in 1984, and then again 20 years later, by the artist I named above.

again, if not readily apparent, the internet culture found this particular song quite intriguing, and was the source of a several hundred parody videos.

and this, is the original music video: Günther & The Sunshine Girls - Ding Dong Song
