In honor of, well, half of the threads on Cafe Society now it seems, with semi-satircal observations on life lessons learned from various genres (Westerns, War movies, Romantic Comedies, etc.), I figure we need a thread about lessons learned from Youtube videos. I’ll start with a few.

People will do anything involving a giant slingshot.

No matter how good you are at a musical instrument, someone else is better. :eek:

No matter how bad you are at a musical instrument, someone else is much, much worse.

Natalie Imbruglia is not only gorgeous and talented, but inspires a truly splendid mime by David Armand. :cool:

P.S. The ‘Mad World’ version by Gary Jules is so lovely that I bought it. :slight_smile:

Don’t try to jump your bike down a huge-ass flight of steps. Warning: not for the faint of heart.

I found out some guy named Pachelbel composed that beautiful tune I hear all the time.

I just learned that Micheal J. Fox is nice

It’s not worth watching any underwear dancing videos, because the goods never get shown. The video can be one minute or 20 minutes, and the dancing girl will never deliver. :frowning:
