The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

[GasBandit]

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.

Actually, it didn't. Most of these kids were too young to use the internet when memes about these movies were a thing, but surprisingly there were a few ALL of them remembered. Nobody really makes Bruce Almighty memes anymore, but damn if 8 out of 10 of the kids were like "OH THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD RIGHT HERE WATCHING THIS MOVIE" and I'm like, you were watching Jim Carrey fuck Jennifer Aniston's brains out when you were five?! And there was one girl whose puberty was apparently kickstarted by 40-year-old Virgin.

The memes probably also didn't work because they didn't show the actual movies, they showed the theatrical movie posters, which in most cases are not the source of the memes.

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

Two things occured to me watching that video.

1) I need to watch Shaun of the Dead again...because fuck you, it's Shaun of the Dead. I don't need any more justification than that.
2) I need to watch Wet Hot American Summer...because it's got @ThatNickGuy in it!

That was my exact thought. Of those movies, that's the one everyone needs to see.

Until they do, they ain't bonafide.

I love this series more with every episode.

And yes, there is actual plot continuity, not that anyone watching this seemingly random gagfest on its own could probably tell



I especially like that I snagged this gif from it.

I have no idea what I just watched. I just know that I liked it.

This guy has basically put out one of these every month for years. It's so tied up in its own continuity I wouldn't know where to start explaining.

I don't know how to pull the video links that aren't youtube out of tumblr posts, so here...

Well frack me! Apparently one of my favourite chocolates are damn near WMD's.

I get the feeling that a lot of the "explosion" damage on those watermelons comes from the compressed air blasting in the hole left by the malteaser.

Yeah, even the slo-mo makes it look like the Whoppers pierce the hole, but then the rest of the damage is done by the gas jet inflating the watermelon via the fresh hole.

Irish people watch Hamilton for the first time and, WOTTA SHOCK, Fade Ryan doesn't like it.



'member this?

Also notice: Ryan is their Fade. He never likes anything.

Hey, I really like Hamilton. I've posted that here several times.

To be fair, I was not aware that was the reason behind "Semi-Charmed Life", either. TIL.

I also don't know why my brain always thinks "Smells like Teen Spirit" came out in '92 or '93. '91 seems too early. Or maybe the 90's are just a jumble for me. Thanks for nothing, teen years!

 

[PatrThom]

Because Weird Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" was released in 1992, obviously.

Hello again, that "wow you can't trust video any more" moment from Rising Sun

(This video is not political, merely technological)

Because Weird Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" was released in 1992, obviously.

This may actually be the real reason!

 

[PatrThom]

This may actually be the real reason!

I was completely serious with my suggestion!

Meh. No desire to watch teens turn their nose up at music I liked at some point.

I wouldn't say they turned up their noses, it was more like a lot of "ooh I know this I hear it all the time what's it called... what's it called... errrrr"

This is one of the first times I've watched one of these, but most of the kids were really into the music. Surprisingly so.
