- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.
  When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list.

  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Always loved this clip. *promote

Re-promoting this video to the front page as a VideoSift Classic. Originally published on Thursday 15th June 2006 (promotion called by gold star member Zifnab)

Like all python skits this is excruciatingly unfunny. It's like having a root canal without anaesthetic, only without all the ensuing hilarity.

I always preferred the Goodies, who were funny in a gloriously silly way. Looking back, Python seemed a bit too self-consciously clever. That's not to say a few sketches didn't hit home but they were simpler and to the point. Stuff like the Dead Parrot sketch has never made me laugh much. I loved one bit when doctors are playing football against the Long John Silvers

What has always amazed me is how popular they seem to be in America.
