In case YouTube is back up and running by the time you read Zalister's post, this is what he is refering to...

Ok, here is a real masterpiece. I suppose it won’t have you doubled over in laughter, but it did have me grinning from ear to ear. Certainly one of the best adverts of its type that I have ever seen. Just click the link for "view TV ad".

Only the Aussies could have pulled this one off.

yeh.... and to think the Brits were shipping criminals off there as punishment! Its right at the top of my holiday destinations list, the first thing I will say as I walk through customs is' I'm bloody here alright!'

what did you thing to olej24's 'Nineteen- Old Peoples home' ?

I'm not breaking nay new ground here, but Dateline just showed this and it's still funny. The throng of counterfeit videos on Google and YouTube deliberately trying to copy made it hard to find the original. Clearly an attest to it's value. So, without further ado, the NUMA NUMA DANCE.

Sorry to pimp my own video - but my friend just deserved being put up online.

Then there is this one, which I just can't stop laughing at every time I am in a bad mood. (not my video)

Dance lessons and backup traumas

Check out the last dancer -- and be patient.

Then chill out with this beer advert.

If you’re in the mood for John Cleese, perhaps it’s time to reflect on backup traumas.

This thread is for comedy videos, they were both so fake, and unfunnny

I forgot about that dancing video you posted, ArcticStones. Absolutely amazing.

Photek, I'm still waiting to find out what the funny was in the billhook comment in the Fork Handles video you posted.

My apologies for not making you laugh.

Feel free to skip over any of my posts in the future just in case they are not up to your standards.

solipsism 06-05-2006 01:48 PM

Fake or not, schwartze, I sent your 2nd video, Mean Old Ladies, to my mother and aunt as I know they would appreciate it.

also.... dont be so negative, its a light hearted thread intended to give people a laugh, not a 'my clips funnier than yours' post.

I suspect Bill Hooks becomes "ballocks" when pronounced by the customer.

I was just watching it for the 10th time and finally came to that conclusion too, Arctic Stones. The "do you want one or two" remark also coincides with that.

As much British Comedy as I've seen I still get hung up on the accent. I thought the Brits were supposed to speak the English 'gooder' than us Americans?

To me American and British comedy have always seemed worlds apart. It seems key traits of the latter are:
1.) an at times highly sophisticiated toying with layers of the meaning of words and expression, and
2.) an amazing ability to express something without saying it directly

A notable example of the latter is my favourite British political joke, voiced about a prime minister that I am sure everyone remembers: "She is now doing to the country what she hasn’t done to her husband in years."


PS. I liked "Mean Old Ladies".

Better, not gooder :)
It depends were you're from, in norfolk we dunt talk propper.
For some examples listern live to Radio Norfolk some time, the phone ins are great, especiallly the ones after football matches you get right ol' norfolk bo's on it.

"listern" ?? ;)
Two Ls in "especiallly", not three.
Norfolk may strive for anonymity off the pitch, but the name should probably be capitalised.
And I believe "phone ins" should be hyphenated.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. :D

Yes, I know. Hence, my single quotes around gooder.

In light of the recent recent search and seizer at Sweden's The Pirate Bay, I am posting this South Park video clip.
South Park video on the wickedness of illegal downloads
note: I doubt that the uploader of this clip or YouTube themselves received permission to post this intelligent property from the owners of South Park. As well as, copyrighted material on Google Video and every single cached page on Google's servers. From my understanding, The Pirate bay keeps no copyrighted material on their servers and is in full cooperation with current Swedish laws. So tell me why we never hear about the MPAA or RIAA forcing the world's governments to close down Usenet, Google, MSN, Yahoo, YouTube and everyone else that is in direct violation. Is this a case of the lion attacking the weakest of the heard (i.e.: The one with the least amount of finacnial backing)?

disclaimer: I assume no responsibility for any copyright infraction that may occur by my posting of the above hyperlink. I assume that the afore mentioned uploader and YouTube would have thoroughly and properly researched any fair use rights, and that violations will be dealt with by the uploader, YoutTube and whatever overly selfish and shortsided organization decided to throw a tantrum while sucking their mums teet.

Sorry didn't know that this was a SPG test.
