Cool stuff from Youtube

[Thijs]

I've been watching a lot of mountaineering videos the past bunch of months. I like to see them in all their extreme situations

Still better than episodes 7, 8 and 9.

Lol, you got me there. Well played.

I prefer this over the original. Never heard the original, heard this first.
I actually prefer songs in Minor keys.

Yeah, major to minor swaps and vice versa have always amazed me too. This was my first one (skipped the beginning, sounded a bit off-key to me):

 

[Gijs]

This stuff still cracks me up, too.

 

[BS_BlackScout]

Found this, hahaha, even better

 

[Gijs]

Yes, really dark tunes to major are the absolute best
this one too:

 

[Katadunkass]

This honestly gets to me every damn time. There's something about Pilkington which just makes me laugh hysterically for hours


@Hensmon what is your view on british humor/comedy?

@Hensmon what is your view on british humor/comedy?

You probably wont be surprised to hear this from me, but I think its... over-rated. ha!


I never got on the Karl Pilkinton bandwagon as I find it too 'fake', like he is over playing a character that is meant to be funny due to the fact he is a real person, and thats what makes it good. Even the reactions are kind of over-blown for the sake of it. If its essentially over-stated/fake then I cant buy into. Maybe I never gave it a proper chance to be honest. I thought the original office was pretty genius for its time, and also if you have ever watched Misfits (so good) I think that showcases British TV humour quite well (despite not really being a comedy). The reason I call it 'TV humour' is because think British banter/conversational/general humour to be good and kind of defining of the country, but that our TV comedies are a bit short-lived and weak. The exact flip would be America. Great TV comedy, shit banter

Haha I think it's a cultural thing - most people from Denmark love british humor, but can't stand American. I've seen The Office and Misfits (fantastic shows!) and of course comedies from US like FRIENDS, Seinfeld and all that and I always come to the same conclusion; Sure, shows like FRIENDS and Seinfeld are fine as comedies, but if I really want to laugh I'll go to The Office or anything with Monty Python.

ah, the things youtube can do with existing music.

i'll contribute.

here are things that shouldn't but really do go well together for some reason.

[Gijs]

Monty Python stuff literally never gets old
Also @jetflag if you like unusual mash-ups, then I definitely recommend checking out the ones on SoundCloud (it's literally a goldmine for mash-ups and memes)

Also, is it wrong that I genuinely want to watch this one completely someday?

I remember listening to this "track" for the first time like 5-6 years ago and it's still one of my favourite moments on YT

If you liked these, you should check out "Everybody's Rooftop Run." Somebody took a track from the Sonic Generations OST and mashed it up with at least ~8 different tracks.

The absolute perfect channel for mash-ups like that is SiIvagunner, the amount of stuff there is astonishing and the quality of them is almost frightening sometimes:

I do not care for MDMA or boxing, but this made me giggle.
