Reading the comments makes it a little harder to snark. He's autistic, and his sister taped and posted the video for him because he enjoys it so much:

"thank you so much, im trying really hard to support him, he really loves this. and i know he will continue this. "

The momentary negative pressure before the trees were hit was exquisite.

I feel stupid about spending so much time worrying that my heatsink compound is spread evenly and has no bubbles. Just squirt it on and crank down the sink.

Why is this a big deal? He just has the balls to say what every other religious person is thinking.

I'll be impressed when she can sing a chorus by herself the way the original did.

Dude's got perfect comic timing how he set it up


I was pissing myself laughing long before the reaction. The careful, deliberate setup; the slooow reach with the stick; it was all perfect.

It's impressive how you can just let any random group of British comedians make smalltalk for a while, and it's ten times as funny as any American comedy with dozens of writers and million-dollar-salaried stars.

The two bits that I loved were the pixel-perfect rotating cube and the pong game while the camera was panning! WHILE THE CAMERA WAS PANNING!

How is that difficult? "Panning the camera" just means rotating the set 1 degree for each frame.

The nice thing about Lego (block) animation is that it's discrete. You can rebuild the same model from scratch for two different frames and it'll look pretty much identical.

The impressive thing here is the mindbending amount of boring rote assembly. Those video->block conversions would drive even an OCD sufferer insane. Honestly I'm skeptical it was all legit -- those sequences would be pretty easy to do convincingly in CG.

On the contrary. I think that this is a fantastic idea.

We see these snippets of hate and idiocy on the 'net all the time. We have righteous contempt for the hosts, and for the networks that carry them. But ultimately the source of their money is their advertisers. Normally we don't see this connection very clearly. A process like this helps the viewer turn their disgust into action, by refusing to put their own money into the machine.

I'd love to see a trend of including a list of those companies that advertised on the show being exposed, perhaps as a slide at the end of the video.

It's Sesame Street news reporting in real life!

Honestly, that's just depressing.

Upvote for Michael Collins' popularity rating.

A 1 mile drag race is just a horsepower competition. Any number of $150K cars (modified turbo Corvettes, Vipers, Supras, etc.) could show up and hand the Veyron its ass in such a race.

I'd be more interested in a road course race.

If you disagree with this you are a racist:

Most of the following; your neighbours, your best friend, your parents, your lovers and you are exactly the same as the men in this video.

Wrong. There are many, many reasons that they are the way they are that have nothing to do with biology.

It takes a special kind of crazy to make Bill look like the rational one.

It seemed a bit short, and sure enough, the middle 90% has been cut.
