OT: Best web video I've seen in weeks

I dunno, maybe its just me, but you got to love the commitment

Very very silly.

I love the guy in the background who just gets on with his Phd. How could you not even nod along with the music with that going on behind you? Funny.

The video is funnier than a joint ? and potentially a lot more illegal!

Not wanting to spoil the party but those poor fellows are heading for troubles. Distributing a well-known pop ?song on the web while mocking the band members is not very clever.

How would you feel if someone would distribute your material on the web and disgrace your carefully coordinated dance choreography? You would like to sue them, right? I guess it is going to happen for these kids as well?

Sorry guys. But we had good laughs while it lasted.

Oh I think these kids have nothing to worry about. The song is a mockery anyway.

Hmmm....I wonder how they got the band to fit into that small room?

They're two architectural students from China.
Good luck suing them. Maybe the Backstreet Boys can sue them for their parent's old Mao Red Books! Or a copy of Final Cut Studio for a street value of $49.95 RMB.

This video is about 6 months old and they have a few other videos out since then. This is the web and globalization at work! Power to the people!

Right on Chi! Take a camera, commit to the moment, and show it to the world. I love it.

use the "more videos" link to see how influential these guys have been already!

like mike, i love the commitment and sincerity.
i love the guy in the bg,
i love the plaster cast

there's a whole world of stuff going on there!

Thanks Nick. I didn't see that. Holy cow. These guys are celebrities. One video has them up on an outdoor stage with screaming fans

Just great - if you want to see a smorgasbord of great, weird, off the wall or just plane odd videos - go to www.youtube.com

You will especially enjoy the video on how Microsoft plans to "redesign" the ipod box. Somewhere Bill Gates is not smiling.

Personally, I'm partial to the Numa Numa dance kid:

OMG that live action Simpsons opening is amazing.



- Justin Barham -

Yeah, it's sick! Fabulous detail. The only thing botherng me is, still too much gravity-- everybody knows cartoon gravity is only half of Earth's-- and Marge's hair isn't right.

It would be a riot if it showed up to replace an episode open one week.

God I love these things. That was great Loren. The microsoft thing is brilliant too. Great talent out there sharing it with the world. Got to love it.

The Simpsons link was forwarded from Alf Clausen, composer of the series. He digs it big time.

Mike,

That was the funniest GD thing I've seen in a looooong time...absolute SCREAM (I think I coughed up a lung). The guy in the background that doesn't move is HYSTERICAL. Tell me all of you haven't done that kind of animated lip-syncing when nobody's home or in your car. I do it all the time (to old Boston tunes - lol - and it's FUN). I used to do it all the time with my little brother to old Jackson 5 tunes and we pi$$ed ourselves laughing when we video taped ourselves for the first time later on. You won't see those on the web - sorry

nicknasty,

Lighten up, dude. This is nothin' but F-U-N and nobody's getting sued. If anything, these guys will sell more records for the Backstreet Boys.

Thanx for the GREAT laugh, Mike... classic

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

Apparently we are all out of touch with Pop Culture. Well maybe Chi is still hanging in there but according to my daughter these guys have been around for awhile and are big time celebrities and have been interviewed on VH1 and this back street boys craze wasn't started by them. They just did the coolest one. They have been hired by Motorola China to do commercials for their cell phones.

Here is some info on them

Damn I love that.

Why is it I can't play the video? I get a question mark in the middle of the QT circle.

filmman,

Maybe you can't play it because it's not made of celluloid (j/k)

Seriously, you need the most recent FLASH PLAYER installed - it's FLASH video (at least it is on my machine).
