- 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!

  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.

Sorry, I might just be in a pissy mood, but this strikes me as something that might be totally hilarious if I were still 17... but I'm not.

Fixed.

they picked the right level of celebrity for a HS grad, no one's disputing that

Several LOLs, genuinely funny in parts, which is more than I can say for the majority of sifts.

I've never heard of the guy, but according to Wikipedia, he's been around and on TV quite a bit.

Yeah, KnivesOut pretty much said it. I though it was funny, and I'm definitely not 17, nor do I act like it. Perhaps it's too "low-brow" for you and we should make some jokes about yachting and the stock market.
