(This came out of an SDMB thread on human pyramids.)
Check out the [Castellers de Vilafranca](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZ7CaGNI6w) as they build a 10-level “castle” containing over 600 people. The crowd is very savvy - check their reaction as the height record is achieved.

Supersonic idiotic indeed. I love how she digs her underpants out of her crack right when she sees the guy.

We had a thread in the past, but a couple new literal videos have popped up, both by Dustin Scott who is the Michael Jordan of this medium.
[Read My Mind by The Killers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FLcbM2wiuk&feature=PlayList&p=E42D120A5B8BF088&index=7). This one may be better than Total Eclipse of the Heart or Take on Me, the previous gold standards.
[Hooked On A Feeling by David Hasselhoff](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztHAcNbHKF0&feature=PlayList&p=E42D120A5B8BF088&index=8). Yes, the Hoff. Good Lord, what must the people responsible for this video have been thinking. At this point, I think Hasselhoff is a national treasure that all of us will dearly miss when he is gone.

You’ve probably seen it, but [Kid Sings Cuppy Cake Song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysqh1uzqGrc). I just saw it a couple of days ago for the first time.

I have the feeling it says something profound about our culture, but if it does, it’s nothing good. And the worst part is, he missed quite a few! Good editing, though.

Man, I LOVE ‘War Photographer’. For my money, it’s the best blend of music and image in a video ever. HotFlungWok, you rule.

[This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmbNODuVPl8) is pretty funny. It has NSFW language though.
