The split-screen mirrored pipe jump got me. Amazing.

I watched this on Fox News, and they only split screened it when McCain was talking (and Barack was going "(wtf is this guy talking about!)" with his face). Looks like I missed a lot of creepy smiling and staring off in the distance from McCain...

I watched it on Fox News, and they only split-screened when McCain was talking, to avoid McCain's reactions. I realized it about halfway through, and thought, "ain't this some bullshit."

I'm guessing the implied meme he's thinking of is that kid that does the split screen and is the inspiration for the beginning of Weezer's Pork & Beans video.

Oh, I think you're very wrong about only scripted gags being fail-able. Why would that be the case? I think any time anyone attempts anything and screws up it's a fail. E.g., a skateboarding kid trying an ollie but screws up and decapitates himself with his shoe laces: epic fail.

Here, our dear squeaky friend is attempting to pull off a classical music video but burns the place to hell in 6 separate recording sessions. I wouldn't call that success. Big time fail.

Thanks Rugil, A couple of those vids have embedding disabled, and the custom player work around isn't working around for some reason.

Eric/randomize, The first scene is arguably a composite of two memes because it features both the bedroom setting of the Rockobel canon and the four way split screen of the other vid.

Thanks danny. That's what I get for making a playlist with the sound off.

Holy Shit! Thats Awesome!!!! I wish I would have known this! This is great! My computer is always split screened to my TV so I can watch movies, and sometimes my friends and I do political "studies" (Ron Paul on VS, Congress's voting records, etc) and having it on the TV makes it better for us to view things together, and this is mad handy for that, instead of squinting to see. Thanks!

I've been watching this video alot and everytime I find something new that I missed that was funny. Which makes me wonder if this is actually staged because, comedy wise, this was executed so perfectly.

Obvious examples are the host bromance massaging the judge, Eli's long pause after he says "I'm the best mayne, I did it" (timed perfectly), horrible and dated camera work and effects.

But what makes this so good are the little things which you only notice after multiple viewings. Such as, white text being overlayed on top of Marv-O's white T shirt make it impossible to read, Envy's erratic "hiphop" hand jestures, Eli's multiple view split screen and picture-in-picture (which is pointless since its of the same person,lol), the quick camera tilting upward due to bad camera man and LOTS of perfectly awkward pauses before camera transitions.

And so much more, not to mention the freestyle lyrics and general banter making this the perfect storm of comedy.

So it makes me wonder, is this pure comedic genius or really just some mentally challenged kids putting on a rap battle show?

That horizontal split screen was hilarious.

This could had been done in split screen format.

I just loved your last bit. But what am I? Am a conspiracy basher, but I also think that Bush is a douche.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
he is the PRESIDENT. how can you even begin to think of an excuse for total inaction at a time like that?

ahh but here come the polarising conspiracy bashers, trying to get us to restrict our thoughts to a choice between 2 theories: "aliens did it" or "bush is perfect".

Sheesh. He is the president. He did nothing. That is INCREDIBLE.

If you run a country, and someone tells you "we are under attack", your first thought should be "i need to go and get more information and immediately start planning a response."

This is a video of a man waiting for his advisers to come and tell him what to do... a commander in chief completely devoid of the will or the ability to command.

That is a completely separate issue from any other "conspiracy theory" talk, and can be taken in isolation.

If someone told you about this beforehand, you wouldn't have believed it was possible, you would have assumed that Bush would quickly and quietly leave and go do his freakin job.

If I had told you Bush supporters that at the moment of attack your president would sit around and do nothing, you would have downvoted my comment in an instant.

Deal with it, your guy is a bad president, you were lied to, the rest of the world is laughing/shouting at you, and your dollar is fucked. That's not a good situation.

The split-screen thing seems really interesting.

You should add this to *videogames, looks like this is from back when we could put a vid in only one collective.

the split screen comparison is hilarious

Yea actually, Rotty, sorry, I comment on other people's comments too impulsively and usually regret it. I forget who to go after I guess
1) Objective journalism never existed and never will. All is propaganda.
2) He goes "ballistic" not because "someone questions him and what he has done" but because Wolf and CNN are playing Nazi and shitting on him almost every questions.
3) Why do they have to fucking split screen him w/ pictures of what he's talking about ? And it's not really related. He talks about Hillary so they split the picture w/ some footage of her talking and actually give her some Volume (during a live interview! who the fuck you are interviewing, him or her ?) As if to make the connection to anyone who just Flipped cnn ON that somehow Hillary and Him are related, and they are in many ways, but not in that "no one likes hillary so no one will like him when they see both pictures at the same time".
4) FUCKING NAZIS, BURN THEIR FEET.
5) I hope to god Wolf goes home and realizes some heavy shit. Look in the mirror for a Long time.

The split-screen bit with the 3 of them running is very cool.
