Some entertaining breakdancing videos. [Gambler from 2005 Battle of the Year](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSgyloPBM-M) - Choreographed performance. [Sonic vs Pelezinho](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWzTla6TReA) - Battle, which means it’s largely improvised. Sonic has a hilarious kung fu based style. ---

[QUOTE=athelas] [This Borat clone](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StATzDCN59g), which the biology grad students put together. Verrry nice! (Yes, the building they talk about really is that shiny.) [/QUOTE] That video is gone so I don’t know if it’s related to the one I’m going to post. There isn’t anything about a shiny building. It’s Borat’s cousin, Horat crashing the premiere of his movie-film: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UboPyXH63K0/hqdefault.jpg "Borat Horat crashes Borat Premiere") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UboPyXH63K0) It has the standard dirty Borat jokes so may not be work-safe. At the end the real Borat shows up and isn’t amused. ---

[QUOTE=uglybeech] [David Attenborough: The Lyre Bird](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y) [/QUOTE] I saw this several years ago (I own the Life of Birds series.) When I heard the camera shutter I flinched. No wild bird should ever have to copy a manmade noise. When I heard him copy the sound of chainsaws, I bawled for an hour. This is the worst thing I have ever seen recorded. ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] Miyamoto!! :eek: :eek: :eek: [/QUOTE] Yeah, apparently, the guys in the video did this for a game designers conference and was hoping he could make a cameo. They didn’t know he said yes until the day they filmed it. The part that always makes me laugh, though, is The guy dressed as Link walking out the door, noticing what’s going on, and walking back in. Perfectly timed. ---
