What part do you play in the VS community?
I guess this is a little bit more of a getting to know you thread. I'm still relatively new around here and although I have a lot of opinions on most of the people I see around, they're just that, opinions. Like has been pointed out to me time and time again, this place is something special. Of course we would say that cos we're a part of it, but fuck all that for a moment. Let me put it this way. We all bring something into the fold, we all have a certain je nes sais quoi, something that makes us that little bit different from the rest of the crowd. What I want to know is, what is it you think you bring to the table, what role do you play? We all know that in family terms Dag and Lucky are our godparents, Kronosposeidon and Swampgirl are Mum and Dad, Blankfist is the tolerated middle child and Schmawy is the lovable old Uncle. There's a few obvious ones for ya. But there are hundreds of us! Who are you, who can you relate to, how do you see other people here? This is your chance to big yourself up and at the same time let others know what you really think. Cos let's face it, who doesn't love a bit of that

I bring ANGER!
I compulsively play devils advocate, i'm nosy, encouraging, more often than not stoned from last night and obnoxious. I continually try and hit on the mansift, occasionally proposing marriage in a desperately attention seeking manner until the glorious day that one of you falls in love with me and my enormous boobs...
More to come later
I'm the know-it-all, because everyone loves that guy!
Aw man, I'm the dad? I wanted to be the perverted uncle.
A tolerated child?! I'm a man! I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.
I'm the guy who talks about his worldviews too loudly in a crowded retaurant and makes everyone uncomfortable

Wait, you have enormous boobs? Did I miss that video/thread?
Anywho... Me? I'm that guy that always shows up to parties uninvited to be the prick at whatever game is being played, always saying "RULES ARE RULES!" and then discarding a video.
My therapist says I'm the kind of guy who should stop harrasing her family.
Yeah, I kinda was gonna say I act like the mom around here. Or "aunty swampy" to some of you young fellas and ladies I enjoy chatting with.
As with every mom, you all have to put up w/ my little hobbies (shatner, heston, vintage cheese) with feigned interest cause you WUV me SOOO much And I do tend to be a prude around here sometimes
KP is dad? Ok, I can see that. He looks after everyone and chats us up when we need it. He is also "alpha male" a bit, and loves to hear himself talk. I'm glad he does. He's a funny guy.
(Since we're parents then KP.. we need to go to counseling over this sexuality questioning I keep hearing about. Neighbors are starting to talk )
I have to say though I thought of him as the dirty uncle too hehe
*sticky this baby

If we're talking family then I suppose I'm the cousin who shows up at the annual Christmahanukwanzaween party, gets drunk, tells everybody what a great job they're doing and then totters off.
HEY! what the?... I was told someone brings punch and pie.
I'm the house we live in. I also feed on children and trolls. Rawwr.
I'm KP's illegitimate stepson, who knows too much about useless trivia, and is a bit too interested in serial killers. I'm the guy who is so cynical and sarcastic, that he can no longer participate in a meaningful manner whenever the conversation turns serious.
Oh, and KP, you still owe me ten bucks for that 8ball. And don't steal the money from Mom's purse again.
I harbour secret crushes on certain VS members, and I think I might've inadvertently become Token Fag. I guess in the family that makes me the estranged (but simply fabulous) uncle.
I'd be the annoying silly troll on drugs from some stupid foreign country you've never heard of, then
edit: want proof?
I bring revolted addiction, alongside guidance and a twisted sense of humor. I can push any envelope further and revel in controversy. I can post full episodes through muted consent. In the family, I'm the suave mofo everyone wishes they could be simultaneously grateful they ain't.
^edit: I'm the cousin you had a crush on or the jailed drunken uncle on work-release.
I've always wanted to be some guy's fag hag. Gay men are a valuable resource, not to mention they're fun to hang out with.

I am a barely recovering addict (EQ and WOW) who moved into the neighborhood and realized she loves the place! I pretend to be totally innocent to gain trust, however, every now and then something makes me really angry or upset, and I forget my cover and post a 'real' video!
I desperately try to make my way to the incrowd by posting the most popular stuff I can find, mixed with some stuff I really love. I vote videos quite randomly and sometimes make a weird comment. I try not to post drunk to avoid even weirder comments!
Once I am totally accepted, loved AND worshipped (by then, I demand to be called Ms MintBBBBBBBBBBBB! And remember to curtsie!) ) I will spam the World of Videosift with 80's Music videos, Finnish videos and German Shepherd Videos! Accidentally a dung beetle video might still slip by. But it is mostly going to be German Shepherds..
Am the guy who brings in the beers.
I'm the middle-class socialist brat, who actually stuck with it into adulthood, and kept going farther left. I'm likely to became absolutely incensed with any abuse of state power, and I'm also reasonably annoying about being an anti-theist.
That said I like to think that I say interesting things, or at least say things interestingly, and so while I do get under some peoples skin on occasion, even people I piss off seem to appreciate me at least some of the time.
>> ^Farhad2000:

If I may I would like to request some Boddingtons or Newcastle please.
I am the resident embodiment of mediocrity. Some of you may say "well you haven't posted shit in forever, and the shit you have posted sucks" and others would say, "well you've made it to 250 diamond, and I do like some of your posts..."
And that's where I lie. In between the optimist and the pessimist, the violent and the pacifist, the liberal and the conservative. Maybe I'm well rounded, maybe I'm just half-assed. But hey, if I had conviction I'd probably be out doing something with my time.
^convictions are for fools who dare not look at the world as it truly is
I'd like to think of myself as the one who teaches all the younger cousins how to cuss and gamble before he realizes this isn't his family's reunion.

You could have just said "Loser."
^Stepdad, then we're all fair game eh
I'm the family dog who just peed on the carpet.
I'm the pizza delivery guy who won't leave until he gets his tip.
I'm always sitting in the corner looking busy when people are around but I'm really astutely observing.
Nobody notices me until something excites me and I chime in as if I've been actively involved the whole time, which really annoys some people.
I'm the one who'll clean up when the family reunion is over and everyone is gone then head off to the real party, which of course no one expects of me because I have a rockin' alter ego behind the facade.
^my alter ego's name is "Jive Mittens"
...he spends all my money on cocaine and booze
what's your alter ego's name?
^ "Slut Puppy", now that you mention it I believe we've met, but you wouldn't recognize me.
I live at no.221c..
I'm that lesbian with an anime avatar who brings paper plates and disposable utensils to the party, but they aren't really paper plates, they're just more silly New Rules segments.
Very useful to the VideoSift community, yes indeed.
I'm the one who tries too hard. I barely know how to use HTML, but I try it anyway. My CSS skills suck, but I tinker with them anyway. I run the channel that makes we weep for the future of mankind.
I also fill the important no vowel-niche.

Damn right. This guy (gal?) won't even tell you what country he (she?) is from. He's the Sift's mystery man (woman?). He's kind of like the High Plains Drifter, the so-called "man without a name." He just posts some awesome videos, and then rides out of town. A few days later he rides back into town, posts a few more awesome videos that no one else for his or her life could ever hope to find, and then rides back out.
Never got your name, stranger.
I wish I could quality the fact that nobody has said "I am the walrus" yet.
*chime blankfist or kronosposeidon being a smartass and commenting about how they are, indeed, the walrus*
I'm the armchair intellectual, DIYer who doles out power points to promote obscure posts and votes for cats doing silly things.
I'm also a hypocrite because I love dark comedy, but can't believe what KP gets away with on a regular basis.
I always imagined Eklek to be a Doc Brown type, dunno why...
A female walrus is called a cow.
Isn't that weird?

I'm the guy that came to your house, helped you out A LOT with that big project, and after what seemed like an eternity, you felt OBLIGATED to give me something for my time. Well, come wintertime, you'll find out how much I really helped you with that project. ahahahahahahahaha (can't divulge specifics on this one sorry, said victim is somewhat aware of the internetz)
I'm crazy guy with a fork on his forehead! I'm forkhead! Gimme some candy!
I'm the guy who always turns up that little bit late for the action...
guys?
guys?
Where did everyone go? And why is there piss in all the cups?
I used to be MINK's retarded sock puppet but he sold me to qm. I'm a commie now.
Look am gonna take orders but not for Swampygirl, blaming your DWI and drunken disorderly conduct on the bar man is in bad taste to say the least.

WARNING: MAD POET
I am glitch in the system
The one that slipped through
The variable that
your contingency
plans did not account for
I am
chaos
DFT and Issy are like the crazy in love mad old hippie couple who always bring fruit punch, a guitar and a set of marraccas to every party
I am the Breadwinner. I quietly go about my business so others can play and hope that I don't end up falling down at some point.
I am the fucked up cousin that you won't vote for because your hella jealous that my dad makes way more cash than your dad.
I mostly lurk, to be honest. I pretty much wrote it all in my profile. Downvotes for people getting hurt, upvotes for kitties. Psytrance and Cooking and what!
Moo.
I'm always late to the party.
I don't know, and this has put me into an existential funk
I'm the guy who's trying to tell you something important while you have your fingers in your ears yelling "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala"
I'm the guy living in your walls causing a lot of racket, throwing your cupcake pans around and doesn't know when to let a joke die, but am mostly harmless, if not occasionally cute.
I am the man who sits in the corner not paying attention to much, and the man that people don't pay much attention to.
I'm the guy sitting in the back enjoying listening to your conversations and occasionally joining in because I like this community and want to be a part of it.

I aspire to be sift commandant.
