[QUOTE=cactus waltz] These guys might just become the next big thing. [/QUOTE] Agreed, that video is one of the funniest I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve already watched it 4 times. ---

[QUOTE=cactus waltz] These guys might just become the next big thing. [/QUOTE] That’s what I was hoping, but I watched a few of their others. They’re not nearly as inspired. I really loved the [WWII RAF sketch](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwNQf08Kxsw) from Armstrong and Miller. ---

I don’t know if I’m citing one of the uncited links, but monkey smelling his finger is definitely a classic. I’ve also always been a fan of the dog whose leg is attacking him. And, sometimes I just like searching youtube for “face plant”. ---

Personally, I was always quite fond of [crazy taxi](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weDCgimH9DI), which needs a little context. It was a sketch on a Japanese prank show that essentially called up a popular actor (who, as a side note, is mildly frightened of driving), told him that he urgently needed to get to the set, and instructed him to meet the taxi they’d called for him out front, which was secretly driven by an expert stunt driver. …then they \*[did it again](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dhyJrZ3JE4&feature=related) \* later. Same guy, same _driver_, only this time they made the poor guy think that he was under arrest. ---

[QUOTE=drm] My guess is something’s up with the prompter and he just isn’t all that good at improvisation. Near the beginning of the video he makes some comment about “it’s working”. Just a guess. [/QUOTE] As I recall… this is a student news broadcast. Something was up with their normal sports guy, and this guy volunteered. Then it sort of nightmare spiraled downhill, his teleprompter broke and his notes were all in the wrong order. The famous “Boom goes the Dynamite” line is a result of him finally deciding to improvise.. and he used the phrase because he’s used it since he was a kid. ---

This guy is a regular feature of a local radio station here in sunny Yorkshire.

[QUOTE=cactus waltz] There have been Internet rumours of Gellieman ending his life due to the exposure of that video. I can’t either verify or dismiss it, but it makes watching the video feel a bit awkward. [/QUOTE] [As usual, they’re wrong.](http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/kezuki/faq.html) ---
