Favourite Youtube videos v2.0

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

I'm partial to commercials, myself.

Paper is not dead.

Sapporo Beer commercial -- this one works best with good bass.

The Wizard of Speed and Time -- This counts as a commercial if you squint. It's a short film Mike Jittlow did to break into movie special effects. It seems to have worked; there's a full-length movie of it.

Cat Herders

Ah, yes. The cat herders. A.K.A. one of my dad's all-time favorite commercials. >^_^<

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh7C-hpibr4 — Riding the world's longest model train track.

Train Mountain in Oregon. Disneyland for grown-up kids if there ever was one.

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri6LIGlWdx4 -- Riding the world's smallest model train track. Among other things, it's in the Museum of Working Miniatures. There's abundant silly padding to make it longer - the real show begins at 1:00. And after 5:25 there's more silliness; but it's all harmless unless you have some uncommon triggers about robots in bondage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACl6tRYZpJ8 — Theme from "Brideshead Revisited".

Never watched the show, always listened to the theme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2jny-0wlRI — "Vísan hennar Bíbíar" w/ Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir.

Cornelis Wreesvijk's "Bibbis visa" with Icelandic lyrics.

And that's the end of this post. And there was much rejoicing (yay...).

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

This isn't Icelandic. It's not even mock-Swedish. But it's fun.

And one of those tunes I had practically forgot about. So is this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7swR8MATA0 — "Hawaiian War Chant" by Spike Jones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKZwCuQixgs and just about everything else from the Stockton, CA, Fire Department.

Well, now! On that same page I found Spike Jones doing the Sabre Dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGX6dkVmDoI
This led me to a different version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhUCEa7XDeQ&list=PLw3NcUqha9bMctQO16MsTS0aMc-XAyYoH

And there is no question of it -- they are both different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyNSwKZlcfc — Sadly, this Sabre Dance falls foul of the then ten-minute limit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KddGbfF5vV8 — Some German Marder APCs/IFVs, converted to handle a different type of firefights.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yanlRDo8kkU — Footage of the beginning of the Little-Ram eruption.
From the first hissing of steam, to a tiny wildfire, to blobs of magma popping out of the ground, to streams of lava running from a fissure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz4OJl1C3HY — Darwin Award candidates?
Oh, honestly! These folk have to have negative IQs!

[Té Rowan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIC-cbiTvEE — Eighteen-wheeler loaded with potatoes rolled over.
Cleaning up after a truck spill is more than just saying it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEMVgX7iehI — Nurse Minako wreaks havoc on Rei.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vm5bD4qQxU — Nurse Minako wreaks havoc on Usagi.
I suppose that one has to be in top health to survive Minako's nursing-back-to-health.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9zZumLdwk8 — The Vrillon incident of 1977.

Seems someone managed to record this nice bit of "radiophonic jiggery-pokery".
