April 2011 – The Friday Videos

Apr. 29th, 2011

Happy Royal Wedding Friday.

However, no, I will not be posting videos of the Royal Wedding. 🙂

Alabama experienced more tornadoes in two days than they typically experience in the entire month of April. This is one of many videos of the multiple tornadoes, and it’s definitely gripping viewing.

» Sebastian’s Voodoo

A great little animated short film.

» iTr3vor Dances to Rebecca Black in an Apple Store

He’s done this with several other pop stars as well. It’s kind of bizarre.

Here you go!

» Cathy’s House – Wonderful Day

Uh… it’s a little odd. And somewhat creepy. But funny.

» Not the Royal Wedding

[self explanatory]
Let’s compare and contrast in about a week. (Hey! It’s on a Friday!)

» Paper Record Player Wedding Invite

This is a wedding invitation sent to guests of Karen and Mike. It plays a song they wrote and recorded. A totally great, original idea.
See how they made it here.

» Peacock Spider

“My footage of the courtship and mating behaviour of the Australian peacock spider Maratus volans.”
This is, apparently, an incredibly rare event to come across much less record. It’s also pretty fascinating. Like Arachnid modern dance.

» Mel’s Hidden Talent

Mel can expertly make a wide variety of animal sounds. Bizarre.

Have a fantastic Friday and Easter Weekend everybody!

Happy Friday, video viewers.

Here goes…

» Dot Dot Dot

The title doesn’t really do this justice. It’s a dramatic reading of a childishly bad online review of the flash videogame Dot Dot Dot. Hi-larious.

» Wood xylophone

A really clever little video. I won’t spoil it.

» Meat Orgy on Turkish TV Show

Uh… just what the hell is going on here?!
Strangely entertaining.

» 700 kids in rural Chongqing dance to Michael Jackson’s

[self explanatory]

Have a most excellent weekend.

Ffffffffffffffff–[inhale]–fffffffffffriday!

Here you go…

» Best of a Normal Day

An offshoot of the pong master videos, these are referred to as “Normal Day tricks”. It’s kind of fascinating.

» Flula in Germany

Doing…. ssstuff…??!

» Pyromaniac On Wheels

Definitely do not try this at home (even though it looks amazing.)

» 1984 News Story on Debut of the Compact Disc (CD)

[self explanatory]
Ahhhh the mid-80s. This is technically 1985, but still a ridiculous story.
Also: This guy sure likes re-organizing his music collection… verrrry… ssssslowlyyy…
