21st Century Awezome Man
Funny clip from a competition-style tv-show in Finland, it aired about 10 years ago, but I just found it on youtube.
In this episode they had some old strong-men type guys showing their skills, like ripping a phonebook in half, punching through a door etc. They picked some scrawny kid from the audience to "supervise" and confirm that all the stuff is real.
Then they jokingly encourage him to show his skills...

You don't need to understand what they are saying, their reactions (and the audience's) tell the story. I wonder what the "strong" guys were thinking.

Everyone should listen to classical music. It has a way of conjuring emotions that is unmatched by most modern music. Here's one of my favorite pieces:

My guess is that him sitting on it (or putting some extra pressure in the process of getting up) snapped something and caused the battery to short circuit, or something like that. The timing is otherwise too perfect.

I don't know if this is the best place to post this, but it's the closest we have to a dedicated Youtube thread. Approximately four days ago, Youtube started not playing videos in HD. 360p was fine, but if I tried to notch up the quality it told me "An error has occurred. Please try again later". I figured Youtube was having an outage or something. Two days later, I couldn't watch Youtube videos at all.

I have Avast free antivirus, and tried turning it off and watching a video, but that didn't work either. I can watch flash videos from other sites (such as Vimeo and Giant Bomb) without any difficulties.

Does anybody know what is causing the issue and what the potential fix is? Thanks for your help.

Where skipping back to the start causes the player to start downloading the video again instead of just using what it had already cached. Trying to establish whether it's a problem on my end or not.

They changed the way videos load on Youtube now, the same thing happens to me, and if I don't start a video immediately, it only loads the first eighth of a video or so.

Yeah I can't get it to load a whole video anymore. It's kind of annoying but I can imagine a lot of bandwidth was being wasted from people loading whole videos that they never watch. A side effect is that it has to reload previously-played sections if I seek backwards, but only if I didn't start the video from the beginning.

One bug that I wish Youtube would fix is when you turn off autoplay on a playlist, it still autoplays the next video if you're in fullscreen.

Speaking of weird youtube loading issues, is anyone else getting a problem where a video starts loading as normal, but at a certain point the whole seek bar immediately turns grey as if the whole video has loaded, and then about 5-10 seconds later the playback stops and you have to refresh the page to get it to play again?

This isn't supposed to work. Mashing up anime background music and rap music isn't supposed to work. It defies all logic.
Yet it's like angels farting in my ears.

:nws: for terrible animes mashed up with rap.

First: the infamous Black and Yellow mashup. Not only is it an extremely clever joke (black and yellow, getitgetitgetit), it also owns.

This second video proves Barkley's Law: even the most saccharine crap is improved by addition of Barkley.

Corollary to Barkley's Law: overall cuteness and amount of dunk are affected inversely at the same rate depending on amount of Barkley added to the video.
