This just won the Chevy Home Made commercial contest.

Without a doubt, a winner! :rofl:

Oh man, it took me this long to watch this one because I failed to realize it was Darth Vader vs Hitler 2.

You know, work does blow dick for skittles right now.

It kind of works better in this Proust/Dangerous Liaisons setting.

Here's an awesome video that I helped to make AND am actually in. Look for the goofy guy in brown plaid behind the bar.

I just noticed it looks like the blonde chick in that still is making the "me gusta" face.

Ok, this one's less "awesome" and more "aw hell"

GasBandit · Jan 25, 2012

I have actually microwaved a CD before. It was similar to this, but more lightning. Maybe because it was laying down.

checkeredhat · Jan 25, 2012

Ever microwave a bar of soap? Its AWESOME.
Oh, they microwave soap in the video. Never mind.

I got a good chuckle at this.

This is the same guy who drove a go-kart through a grocery store, isn't it?

Also, here is some recent footage of life in Utah.

I love those kinds of videos.

I also have a secret love for 90s dance club music.

SeraRelm · Jan 27, 2012

Either the video was vertically mirrored, or he has some weird, reversed octave melodica.

Meanwhile, in the current decade...

Yeah, you can see the Jamiroquababaragfharabfa-whatever thing's lettering behind him is also reversed. I dunno what it is lately with musicians putting up mirrored videos, but it happens a lot to 331erock as well.

SeraRelm · Jan 27, 2012

Think it has to do with keeping Youtube from deleting their video. Not 100% on that though.

I've seen people do that to avoid tv show clips being taken down (there's some kind of automated youtube spider that is constantly trawling for copyrighted images all over youtube)... but if it's just a picture of a guy playing a guitar.... wha?

And to add even more confusion to the mix, 331erock once said on a comment where this happened "oops I forgot to flip it right way around, I'm not really left handed"... inferring that it recorded mirrored naturally. I wonder if there's some kind of camera-pointed-at-mirror-setup going on here.

They are probably recording their videos with PhotoBooth using an iMac/MacBook Pro/etc. PhotoBooth will flip the pic/video so that the person recording it sees something they are more used to interacting with (a mirror reflection). There is an option to flip it back, but many people skip that step.

The first one is impressive. The second...was probably the most touching thing I've seen since Kiwi!.

The third one is insane.

It occurs to me, it's been years and years since I've actually made this gesture. I guess I'm just much more verbal with my insults.
