When I was in college I had a collection of "funny" videos downloaded to my computer from BearShare, including "Kid gets nailed by Basketball", "Karate-Bear Salmon Commercial", and "Monkey drinks his own pee". The advent of youtube has been bittersweet for me because it seems like every viral video involves dancing and/or singing now, oh nevermind. I realized how silly it is to be a purist nostalgic for the days when we watched Monkeys sniff their own butts before they fell out of a tree instead of some idiot's evolution of dance.
Anyway here are a few awesome clips that flew under the radar as far as I can tell, but you still may have seen them. The first is a cable access clip of a concerned citizen speaking about issues close to his heart (by which I mean a crazy person ranting at a city council meeting.) Some say that "Lemon-headed cowards" is the best part but it's hard to beat the tone of matter-of-fact rationality this guy adopts when he enumerates his four points "3. solar hot water panels on it and 4. put ice in the arena."
This 'un here is a german TV interview, in which the interview has a rather odd vocal affectation. Supposedly this is real and the interviewer was apparently fired. It was a show on a condition that causes radical changes in your voice, according to what I've read. Enjoy.

Good god, that city council guy was somethin' else. I think the 8.5 earthquake he created at the podium was the best part.
Those are probably my two favorite clips of all time. They are also the two clips I have sent out most to people I know. You should know though, that it is not German, it is Icelandic. And if you google the other guy's name and Charlotte, N.C. a few dudes will pop up. You can call them, but none of them will claim to be this guy or want to talk about it.
