The YouTube Thread

[Haruki-kun]

I don't think we have one like this one...

Basically the purpose of this thread is to post anything you've nicely come across on YouTube recently and talk about it. Think RB or You Thread focusing on YouTube Videos. of course, videos from other sites are welcome, too.

Remember to avoid videos that somehow go against this forum's rules, OK?

Here's a video I just found yesterday. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLiyglcRcCA)

My favorite YouTubers are:

The BBQ Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ubTQfr_tyY)


...I'm hungry now.

[Athaniar]

Ah, YouTube, the place that introduced me to such things as Dschinghis Khan, Weird Al, Boney M, abridged series, Buffalaxing, Oxhorn, five second movies, and many internet memes and stupid statement remixes. Great site, except for most of the people who comment the videos.

I'm TheDalekEmperor, by the way, because I originally came to the site looking for a Doctor Who episode that I had missed on TV, I think.

Also, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5tMTLq_lv4&feature=related).

[Zakama]

Youtube threads have been tried before... I made one in fact. IIRC they didn't get far.

In any case, have a super epic Halo 3 music vid. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uVhbzMr_G0)

And epic Canadian folk music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-PQbdmQRwc)

[Renegade Paladin]

THIS! IS! SPARTAAAAA! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBA0SKmQy8)

Also, is it just me, or is everything suddenly in widescreen? :smallconfused:

[Zakama]

Also, is it just me, or is everything suddenly in widescreen? :smallconfused:

Nope, it's not just you. Seems they didn't make a huge deal out of the switchover...

[Inhuman Bot]

I'am pretty sure the best thing I've found off of youtube was me finding out about avenue Q.

Theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-huoQ0SVn4M

First song after that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK6ksA0QyE4

Oh, every song except for the theme at least includes swearing, so if that offends you, avoid the songs.

[Jack Squat]

Most of the songs contain things a little more offensive than swearing :smalltongue:

awww who'd get offended over being called racist, sex, prostitutes, homosexuality and other little things like porn?

Lasagna Cat (http://www.youtube.com/user/lasagnacat) - Bizarre Garfield parodies
Waverly Films (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQwjV2K5c9w)- Short film makers I was introduced to recently
Usavich (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhbr9XpRnAc)- Crazy cartoon shorts about two rabbits in what appears to be Soviet Russia.
Three Little Pigs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEHMVdncYuI&feature=related) music video
Supaidaman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZLUxlKHsuA)- One of the best clips, imo, of the Japanese Spiderman show. After seeing the American 70's live action version, I'm not sure that either one is better, but this one is probably more absurd.

A short movie my friends made. Actually really really good.

[Bryn]

A Gentleman's Duel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zssd-3NjW7M)
Excellent choice, good sir, but it isn't the only thing made by Blur Studio (though it is probably the most awesome).
For example...
Rockfish (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=InPlY9L5eFY)
[WH40k Dawn of War intro (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UID6LEzvRRo)
Gopher Broke (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X9TA4FyvZsE)
See also the Blur website (http://www.blur.com)

But fortunately for us, Blur Studio is not the only excellent 3D studio out there! Digic Pictures created this excellent video:
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos intro (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e3pOljQqvX8)

The Orange and Peach open movie projects created the following two videos entirely with free, open source software.
Big Buck Bunny (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YE7VzlLtp-4)
Elephants Dream (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=p27cLysfqYc)
See Blender (http://www.blender.org) for the incredible software they did it in.[/Blender obsessor]

Apparently, Talentis Films distributed this one, but it was made by students:
Oktapodi (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LMLUdTbKkPo)
Someone else posted a high quality version of that, but it got taken down for copyright violation, so you'll have to put up with poor quality... which is a real shame, because it looked great.

And the almighty BBC made this one:
Beijing Olympics intro (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8A5_p9j1ewY)

Armadillo Run fans should love this one:
Armadillo Run extreme (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uH4SS2oG_uc)

Now the really great animation is posted, time for stuff that is just damn funny.
Half Life: Full Life Consequences (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxyZaZlaOs)
Half Life: Full Life Consequences 2 (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=h8yHguvYYyQ)
Doom: Repurcussions of Evil song version (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RBQIx5jiTsg)

And some stuff that is strange...
Giovanni Sollima - Sogno ad Occhi Aperti (Daydream) (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ldPf3yqq3-8)
Rejected - Don Hertzfeldt (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vSb-nV8l2QY)

And a fun little TF2 animation to finish off.

Trust Monty Python to come up with it.

The best part is where they upload high-quality versions of the most-viewed clips, to deny those people their traffic.

[Thiel]

That one is totally awesome. (It's the one with the steam-powered battle suits, right?)

Yep, totally awesome.

A little silly I know. But I laugh every time I see those vids.

Edit: Also, the second vid has a bit of a HL2 episode 2 spoiler.

I'm on dial-up, so it's hard to watch YouTube. I can watch them, though it takes a looooog time. That being said, here are some of the vids I've come across.


Yeah I like unusual covers :smallamused:
Finntroll's "Trollhammaren"--Piano Cover. (Her channel has some other good covers.) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwLOyBPTk6o&feature=related)

Acoustic Cover of Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat". MUCH better then it sounds. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNK2L8-V5dQ&feature=related)

Cover of the Star Wars "Cantina Music" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NocFFszldQY)

Awesome acoustic cover of OutKast's "Hey Ya" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZFj_o1n6WE)

"Bloody Tears" from Castlevania.

I gotta say, all these links to "weird" and "unusual" cover songs that just end up being piano versions of pink floyd songs are pretty disappointing. Piano versions of PF songs are so weird and unusual that they released an entire cd of them years ago. So, I've decided to link you to some covers that are actually a little bit unusual.

Psychotic black metal band covers Elvis's "Love Me Tender": http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6MXWVYXO

The hyper obscure Dog In Pain cover a fake burzum song called "Once Emperor", or in this case "Once (Again) Emperor": http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9IVRU3PU (completely indescribable)

There ya go. A couple covers that may actually deserve the description of "unusual".

I've never actually seen the Eyes of Nye before, but this is making me think I have to start. It's about sex and Bill Nye (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNEblXnjyL8&feature=related), how could you go wrong? This is part 2 of 3, since I think it starts with a pretty interesting segment, and gets better from there.
