This was as interesting as watching ANYBODY answer a phone and have a brief exchange of pleasantries with anybody else. How is this hilarious, or any kind of comedy or improv?

I put it in comedy only becuase it had will ferrell, couldnt tell what to put it under.

asked and answered then! next

Exactly. The video defies categorization because it contains a scene so completely banal, the only reason it wasn't deleted from the camera is because Will Ferrel happens to be there. I like Will Ferrel, but the existence and popularity of this particular clip kind of baffles me.

We all just like lv_hunter. So shut up.

I AM ANGRY ABOUT VIDEOS!

This is just as funny as (almost) everything else he's done. Guy can't think laterally to save his life.

I'm wondering if this is Fanta marketing. That would make a good verb.

I ENJOYED THIS CLIP.

How the hell did this make it to #1, let alone the top 15? It's just a guy answering somebody else's phone, and not doing much creative with it. Opportunity missed.

Yeah, well, there are multiple websites that get massive amounts of traffic dedicated to lolcats. Photographs of cats with "witty" (term used extremely loosely) captions superimposed over them that intentionally use atrocious grammar and spelling. That, I don't get.

This, I upvoted. To each his own.

I've been around here for almost as long as the sift has, and I've developed my own intuition for what's going to be successful and what's not. This one was a surprise to me. Sifters are generally more discerning. I'm not understanding the appeal to Sifters in particular.>> ^MilkmanDan:

I didnt think it would even get on top 15 let alone the #1 spot.

The one thing I've learned during my time on Videosift:
I have no fucking idea what videos will take off and what videos will die a lonely death.
