Post your favorite youtube videos. Include a link and a brief description. Try to focus on videos that will have
general appeal but that people won't know to look for. Music videos of your favorite band don't qualify: people who like them already know about it, and people who don't, don't care.
So serious, funny, informative, anything goes...just so long as it's some combination of unusual, uncommon, not well known, and would likely be of interest to anyone.
I'll start:
Diet Coke + Mentos - A classic
Auto-tune the News #2 - Somebody took newsclips and ran them through an "auto-tuner" used by Cher and some other muscians to correct their imperfect notes. Turns out, any random speech can become fairly melodic when adjusted this way. In particular, listen to Katie Couric from 1:21 to 1:52.
Cirque De Soliel juggler - Highly unusual juggling/contact juggling/dance act. Much more than just adding more balls.
Terrafugia flying car - Street legal flying car for $200,000 available 2011
Jetpack flight demonstration - The Martin jetpack with a 30 minute flight time, available for
$86,000Ninja Cat! - Gets closer, without moving!
Ninja Cat! - Climbs stairs upside down using only forepaws
We didn't start the flame war - Parody music video of "We didn't start the fire" by Starship. What's it parodying? Why, the internet, of course!
Animator vs Animation II - Beware the chosen one.
Matrix Ping Pong What if Neo was Japanese and played Ping Pong?
Matrix Karate - A comical karate master demonstration
Human Tetris - Japanese gameshow style
Human Tetris - American, bored college student style
