So lets bring it! Lately I’ve been watching keyboard cat clips. They are standard youtube clips where people injure themselves physically or emotionally, only at the end is the clip with a cat playing a keyboard. There is something about the blissful look on the cats face that just makes every awful thing seem even funnier. Here are some examples:

and then my personal favorite:

I also watch the Shakeweight commercial once a day or so:

I’m guessing there’s a thread about this one somewhere on SD already, but far and away the coolest thing I’ve seen on the Internet in weeks is the winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent, [Sand Animator Kseniya Simonova](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=518XP8prwZo). It’s truly remarkable.
Edit: just searched on her names, and it doesn’t look like there are any other threads. My god, people! You gotta see this!

Normally I have a deep loathing for rap outside of a very, very particular subset. However, I was looking around youtube and came across… _sigh_ [the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my life](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUEO9Mfmn4M). It’s Megaman II bosses and parts of Wily’s Castle set to the most catchy rap possible.

Wow. Just… Wow. Yeah. The sand painting is incredible. Anyone have any idea what the text she put in at the end was?

Another thanks for that sand animation video. A whole art form that I had never heard of before.

I showed the sand video to a russian co-worker and he says this:
> [@](#):

> For those that do not understand Russian: it starts with the original radio announcement on June 22, 1941 German army invading the Soviet Union. Followed by very popular songs written about the WWII. In short a story about a woman that loses her loved one in that war but their child is a memory of their love. The last words are: “You are always near me”.

My husband linked to one on his Facebook page of a turtle trying to have sex with a shoe.
No, you’ll have to find it yourself. I found the turtle’s squeaks rather…embarrassing.

I never was much of a fan of the keyboard cat, until I saw this twisted [version of it](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwTw3F_im1Q), featuring Helen Hunt and Hall & Oates.

God, I love any art form that involves sand!
My contribution:
It’s not a video video, it’s only audio, but Democrats should enjoy listening to this awe-inspiring rant. Both parts are worth hearing:
