The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

[GasBandit]

Man, what happened to their video quality? Contrast is too high for people that pale.

Also, that's the drunkest I've ever seen them.

I don't know if they fixed their contrast problem or if these are just less-pale Irish people... buuuut



"So this is Hummingbird Cake..." (alarmed look) "I'm vegetarian...!"

 

[GasBandit]

Pucker factor.

What's amazing to me isn't that he made the jump. What's amazing to me is he's had enough practice to look at that feature and think "yeah, I can make that."

Does nationality or age even matter in these react videos, or do they just get a selection of assholes together and give this something to bitch about?

Well, those particular react videos are Irish-specific (their Youtube channel is called "Facts." With the period at the end). This is different from the other channel I usually post, Fine Bros, who are just random Americans (ok, random SOUTHERN CALIFORNIANS) broken up mostly by age group. I also watch a couple other channels I don't usually post that focus on Korean and Japanese people reacting to things. It's a hoot watching North Korean defectors try American barbecue for the first time.

I've seen that video.

These Shooting Stars memes usually make me chuckle.

As funny as it is, I think the kid lost conscious there.

Facebook just basically informed me today that my wall looks like the wall of a crazy person.

 

[GasBandit]

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have.

"It's Treason, Then" scene, but redubbed with the google translate japanese voice.

"I amu de senatu!"

"Notto yettu."

"It'su Tareesun, zennu."

NYAAAAAA

Texas is the best, of course.

That's not real chili in the thumbnail. It has beans.

...and if that's your actual opinion, then you'd really love mine.

Well, to be honest, I seldom meet any chili I dislike, regardless of origin, style, or ingredients.

ONE MORE SHOOTING STARS MEME

 

[fade]

Long, but interesting and educational. If you want a podcast-style listen, the visuals are helpful, but not necessary.

Irish people vs American Moonshine

Watched a few more and, yep... I'm crushing on Laura Byrne now.

Dermot: Ohhhhohohohoh that's wonderful!
Blaithin: That's disgusting.

I will be so glad when the long beard fad is finally OVER. So goddamned annoying.

I've never had any of these "4th of July" treats.

Me neither! But I love getting to experience my own culture second, or in this case, third-hand!

Gatorade's "Active Water" commercial uses no CGI. The water droplets are actually animated.

I call bullshit. Especially at the end when it "kicks" the bag and it reacts.

I noticed that, too. I am assuming a stagehand or someone hits it enough to deform it during the dark phase and then steps out of the shot. Certainly doable, just adds a lot to the complexity.

Also this is no Bot & Dolly, but it's still impressive.

or it's a prop designed to buckle when the kick connects. Or it's composited in afterwards.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!



Next time maybe wear a helmet.

I'm going to steal @GasBandit's shtick and post a do they know video, because these kids know NOTHING

 

[PatrThom]

Of 7, knew 6, seen 3.

The weird thing is that thanks to memes, these kids know stills from these movies even though they've never seen them. No, I didn't watch the video, and yes, I'm sure they addressed exactly that in it.
