It's amazing how the second guy got both doors to stay open after he came in. wink

This one is probably worth going to the HD version on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkGeOWYOFoA

For the people who thought this video of a Clio being pushed along sideways by a truck was a fake:

I'm pleased sanity has prevailed and he's managed to keep his licence.

EDIT: NSFW- Language

Heh, I got a chuckle out of that one when I saw it. The craziness around it since then has been nuts. I can't believe the stupidity of Best Buy to can this guy over it. Nobody knew the guy who created this worked for Best Buy until they tried to fire him.

This one has blown up in the last week:


And I love the Auto-Tune the News guys:


My current favorite of their vids is Turtles:


I highly recommend checking out more of their videos. Not only do they capture hilarious (and sometimes unsettling) moments of talking heads on TV, but they're also pretty talented musicians.

I'd give them some talent points if they weren't using any vocoder-based software like Auto-Tune. That stuff is just plain annoying. It was annoying when Cher did it in the late 90's and it's still annoying today.

That said, I'm all for talking heads and musical parody.

At least someone in the younger generation is watching the news!

I hadn't seen the rainbow one- nice!

Well, I disagree with you in this case. I don't listen to music with auto-tune like this, but to use it for this purpose I think is perfect.

Cher and the like use it to affect their singing voice. These guys are using it to turn people who aren't singing into people who are. I don't see any other way they could do it, so it's fine with me. Plus, they tend to sing their own parts without the vocoder, and they actually have decent voices (as you can tell from the end of the Double Rainbow Song).

Yeah, it sounds like they watch an unhealthy amount of C-SPAN.

Auto-tune is also the only way Jamie Foxx can sing, but that doesn't make it OK.

So all they need to do now is invent a box that can make him act as well and he'll be all set.

Maybe it's just early in the morning (or late at night) but I just about sneezed my drink over my laptop at that one :-)

Those are always hilarious and amazing.

Have you seen the one where Justin Beiber gets syphilis and then later beaten to death in the street with musical instruments? Bizarre!

Wow! Nice.

I was traveling with friends in 1989 and we went to the Oldtimer Grand Prix at Nurburgring. We took our rental gutless Golf diesel with four on board and luggage around the Nordschleife. The carousel is a wild ride at any speed.

It's quite jerky, is that the iphone, or just the hosting site?
