I’m putting together an experiment for one of my seminars, and to do it properly I’m going to need a whole bunch of 2-5 second video clips that show people displaying fairly unambiguous emotions. Specifically, I’m looking for stuff that shows either anger or joy. I don’t watch a great deal of TV, however, so I’m having trouble figuring out where to look. I’ve had some luck with The Sopranos and The Simpsons, since Tony and Homer both tend to get angry very easily and very expressively, but I’m having more trouble finding scenes that show joy. ---

I can’t youtube from work (firewall) but go there, type in “ **Earl Weaver** ” in the search box and it should be the first link. Though playing it up for the fans a bit, old Earl was never one to shy from speaking his mind. Oh and the language is definitely NSFW. ---

Well, there’s [THIS](http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yj2oXMdZ4sk). It can only _just_ be called “video” - maybe - but it’s got pretty impressive anger levels. _Edit: contains naughty words - probably not work safe_ ---

Well… there is [this](http://youtube.com/watch?v=M8pR1rZZHEs) (Possibly NSFW - lots of shouting - German profanities!) German kid who is less than happy about his computer. I feel pretty certain that the poor boy is suffering from some kind of “rage syndrome”, but he is, nonetheless, the angriest person I have seen. ---

So are you looking for joy, or anger? If this ain’t joy, then I don’t know what is: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/HttF5HVYtlQ/hqdefault.jpg "Laughing baby") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttF5HVYtlQ) ---

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far! This is helping a lot. 🙂 [QUOTE=Dorjän] So are you looking for joy, or anger? If this ain’t joy, then I don’t know what is: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HttF5HVYtlQ/hqdefault.jpg "Laughing baby") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttF5HVYtlQ) [/QUOTE] I’m actually looking for both; I’m going to use them to elicit priming, so I’ll be sitting people down and showing them an ungodly number of 2-5 second clips, and testing if there’s a relevant correlation between the type of unambiguous emotion that’s being acted out (in this case, either joy or anger) and the various types of feedback they provide, we write about it. If there isn’t, we write something slightly different. And sometimes we’re lucky and the bulk of the subjects do stuff we didn’t expect, which makes for a really neat paper. ---

Mr. Rebney’s outtakes are well known. And there’s more that have been recently discovered: [Winnebago Man II](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkbfnFulEIk) [Winnebago Man III](http://www.buzznet.com/tags/jackrebney/video/356051/) In which Mr. Debney starts speaking gibberish (was he the inspiration for _The Sims_?) and replaces lines he forgets with “the ferns and the docks.” ---
