Czar, very cool. I’ll add that to my calendar along with No Pants Day and Talk Like a Pirate Day. This is one of the best alternative-interpretation covers I’ve ever heard. I wet myself a lil when he hits that climax right at 3:44, every time. And I didn’t even like the original (was just so-so but way overplayed.)

This is a clip of an airliner sustaining a bird strike and subsequent engine failure on takeoff. What’s great about it is that the ATC transmissions are synched, so you can hear what they say as they handle the emergency.

I’ve got two goodies, different in tone. [An elephant paints a self portrait](http://youtube.com/watch?v=_LHoyB81LnE) - Yup, it’s exactly what it says. I’m sure the elephant paints the exact same picture every time, but the fact that he/she can replicate the picture is quite impressive. [Little girl says “Whateverrrr!”](http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z9gS2rXL8Nk) - Straightforwardly cute and silly. ---

[/QUOTE] The show is Gaki no Tsukai (as you can probably guess from the title, I think it might actually be longer but eh), and there’s lots of funny stuff from them on youtube. Anyway, have a look at [Gamarjobat](http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7rZzOoLb8po) - saw them at the Edinburgh Fringe a couple of years ago, they’re a couple of fantastically funny mimes. ---

I don’t know if these have been posted in a youtube thread already, but I recently went through a bunch of movies “in 5 seconds” made by some guy, and some are pretty funny. My favorites are the renditions of [All the Rocky Movies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj3xM4mFS9Y), [All the Batman Movies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvTAgQOM15o) and [Sin City](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e-cyx0gsJk). Warning: the Sin City one has spoilers for anybody that hasn’t seen it. ---

Today’s discovery: Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman, and Betty White portrayed their characters from “The Family” sketches on the Carol Burnett show (Eunice, Mama, Ed, and sister Ellen) in a 90 minute special called [EUNICE](http://imdb.com/title/tt0285073/) in 1982. It’s a 4 act teleplay that begins in 1955 and goes to 1978, and while there’s a lot of humor in it there’s also a lot of melodrama and “adult themes” and right-out pathos as it shows a generation in the lives of a dysfunctional family. For those who know these characters only from _Mama’s Family_, these earlier takes are VERY different and a lot deeper and a lot darker (especially the final chapter which begins with _[big spoiler]_ Mama’s funeral- Vicki Lawrence is not in the segment at all Anyway, it’s never been released on video and to my knowledge it’s never been rerun on TV, but some great person whose debt I’m in had a videotape of it that they’ve uploaded to Youtube. It’s in 9 parts starting [here](http://youtube.com/watch?v=GKHubzv5Mcs) and well worth watching if you’re a Burnett fan at all and have the 90 minutes or so. Ken Berry is also in the show, but he plays Eunice’s very successful screenwriter brother Philip (played on the variety show by Roddy McDowell) rather than the stock character buffoon from Mama’s Family. You’ll realize he’s actually a pretty good actor. ---
