Here’s a classic that’s been dug up on YouTube. It’s not only genuinely fun, but, at this point, it’s interesting as a cultural artifact.

Thanks, MaxTheVool, for suggesting that I post this find to the SDMB.
It’s telling me your link contains a malformed video i.d. What did you do to the poor thing?
You need to cut and paste the links (including the non-linked portion) and take out the space in front of the = sign. Then it works.
For those who hate the whole Trust-Me-IDless-Link, these two videos are an interview between Woody Allen and Billy Graham.
And the malformed video ID is because of the space between the v and the =. Eliminate the space and it works fine.
Sorry for messing up the links. Here they are, fixed and ready to go:
And, yes, it’s an interview between a very young Woody Allen and Billy Graham. I liked seeing it, if only because it’s easy to forget that Woody was ever so young and nerdily endearing.
And I managed to mess that up again. Here are the links, in a form that doesn’t require any cutting and pasting, finally:
Preview is my friend.
Isn’t youtube terrific for finding bits of film on subjects you had almost forgotten?
Yesterday, I youtube’d up some old footage of “Mr. Bill”. He is not as funny as I remembered.
Then I youtube’d Jim Carrey doing “Fire Marshal Bill” on In Living Color, and the skits were very bit as hysterical now as they were then (IMO).
Does anyone know what show this is originally from?
This one’s probably been posted before, but I just found it (actually, my husband found it):

The Library of Congress released (don’t know when, but fairly recently) a group of COLOR photographs from the era of the Great Depression, and someone put them together with music from Imogen Heap’s “Just For Now.” We so often think of that era as being in black & white or sepia at best. It’s fascinating to see these same types of photos in color (not colorized either). I love this!
Here are Electric Company songs written and sung by Tom Lehrer.
Here are “-ly”, and the classic “Silent E”.
YouTube also has the more obscure of Tom Lehrer’s contributions to The Electric company, such as “-n’t” and “sn-”
There’s also some footage of the immortal Lehrer singing some ditties he composed while in college. “There’ll Be Some Changes Made”, “There’s a Delta for Every Epsilon”, and a song about a professor who gives excellent lectures.
Obviously, this video was made in the 90’s, and only part of it was posted to YouTube. Does anyone know where I could find the rest of this video? And does anyone know how to fix the problem of the sound and lip movements being slightly out of synch?
