The beauty of this video is that you need to rewatch it 4-5 times. Different stuff happens each time and it's loving perfect

Here's them all:

clones
snake
screams
eternity
pause
ghost
stars
blood

I like how the screaming one is basically "gently caress you if you're using headphones."

Man, I couldn't stop staring at them. This is a small phobia I have after reading some scary story about this when I was a kid. Faces in windows and duplicates...

The "screamer" gag is as old and tired as the Internet itself, but it managed to get me this time. The blood and clones were equally as great. Huge kudos to the actors for pulling off such a bizarre concept.

Nation Demands More Mindblowing Guitar Solos

quote:

“When I turn on the radio, I want to hear a killer solo where the guy just totally shreds it hard,” said 36-year-old Kent, WA resident Michael Pellone, echoing the sentiments of the vast majority of citizens from coast to coast. “I want a solo so fast you can barely see the guy’s fingers moving—where the guy’s up on stage, one foot on top of a speaker, and just going nuts all over the guitar. That’s what I want.”
...
According to thousands of amped-up sources nationwide, a guitar solo in which the guy bends the strings really far while leaning his head back and grimacing is currently a top national priority. Additionally, citizens from all 50 states emphasized the importance of the guitarist running all over the stage, jumping off an amplifier, and then sliding on his knees through the lead singer’s legs while rocking out hard the entire time.
