Mostly just silly, but some of the subtitles are definitely NSFW: “Fart in the duck” http: [//ca.youtube.com/watch?v=iRUGGy9RVrM](https://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=iRUGGy9RVrM) Biggest laugh I’ve had for some time! Language Log blog has even commented. [Language Log: BHTs?](http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/005102.html) There are other videos on YouTube in this vein. ---

Videos and sites with foreign songs with the lyrics interpreted as they are English words are all over the Internet. Two of my favorites are [French Erotic Film](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/french) and [Finnish DuckTales](http://uncutohh.ytmnd.com/) (both NSFW due to lyrics and visuals). ---

YouTube isn’t the place we go to find something breathtaking, but this [time-lapse video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-GSzumlhmo) taken from the top of a high-rise in Vancouver is really something to see. Clouds passing over buildings, ships moving in harbors, and tiny cars flowing through a major traffic artery take on a strange beauty, especially for those of us who alreayd know how beautiful Vancouver can be. ---

I love Chester Tam, and his latest series of YouTubes is pretty funny. [How to become an internet celebrity, Part I](http://youtube.com/watch?v=XFvqlnf4h7o#) Definitely not work safe. “So… rape is the punchline?” And **Sam Stone** posted a similar phoenetic translation video recently that I thought was hilarious.
