The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

I love this prank. I absolutely love it. But I'm astounded this guy didn't get shot or arrested.



I especially like the ones where he just walks around a corner, somebody approaches him, they notice each other, the victims stop, unsure... and then he starts the chainsaw and begins walking toward them.
 
This may be just awesome to me, but oh well.

There was a show in the early days of Nickelodeon I use to watch when I was a kid called "The Mysterious Cities of Gold":


Well, it seems that now after decades have passed that a second season of the show is being made. The animation looks different of course, but hearing that theme again brought a huge nostalgia rush to me:

I just showed this to my wife, yesterday she was complaining about how the series just never finished. She said "Happy Friday the 13th to me!"

Oh gawd so many nutshots now my eyes hurt.



Especially noteworthy is the kid at 45 seconds in who shatters his skateboard on the landing, blasting the pieces up into his crotch. Everybody just stands around looking at him, not laughing, not gasping, not helping, just watching with half-interest.. until he starts screaming his balls are bleeding... then they get up... and take out the phones to record him.

I imagine that having your balls grabbed by a woman who is in the middle of being tazed must be rather uncomfortable.

Selfies are so 2000-late. Nowadays, serious social media users are expected to take full motion video SUPER SELFIES.

Heck, I don't think even Tool could do 46 and 2 perfectly in one go in front of an audience. Granted, my recollection of watching them live at Red Rocks Amphitheater is a little.. muddled. Probably has something to do with being passed a very suspicious joint and a short time later having a friend drop me down a flight of stairs while helping me on the way to the bathroom because he panicked when he saw a cop at the bottom. (Didn't get arrested, but the cop didn't help me up either... eh, fair enough)

I do remember their performance of Eulogy kicking ass though.
 
Watched the video without the benefit of knowing what the original song sounds like. Doesn't obscure the fact that these kids have talent, especially that drummer. He's into what he's doing, probably has a career ahead of him. I have no doubt that what I'm hearing belongs to him. I'm not 100% convinced of the singer, her dynamics don't match up exactly with what I'm seeing, but she's still obviously good enough to have put out what I'm hearing (even if it was in a booth at some later time).

And that bassist, man. He looks and acts just like a bassist.

Also, I wish to place this magical video here.
In case you don't read the comments, it's all done with projected videos and giant robot arms.

Link to the movie on vimeo here.
