Wow. As it loaded, I was wondering what could be so creepy about the innocuous-seeming subject matter. The guy’s weird laughing just takes it over the top.

The doctor (or whatever)'s voice is hilarious! So soothing…“Don’t breathe like that, it will make you feel all funny.” The voice of reason. With a British accent.🙂

Yeah, “Rubber Johnny” always gets a mention; but, I really don’t get the balloon video. Can someone explain it, please?

Yeah, that dude’s just not wired up right.

There was a whole series of videos that was recently linked to, about somebody trying to reconnect with an old friend who’d left town after working on some film project; that was really well done and creepy, but I can’t seem to remember enough to find it…

Refresh me. Is “creepy” the new hip slang term for “boring” or does it mean “pointless?”

Ah yes, thanks! Strangely, the name still doesn’t ring much of a bell…

I didn’t find that video creepy. But then, I only watched/listened to half of it. Just some guy talking about _Gummo_.

_Gummo_, of course, is seriously weird. It’s like watching a nasty car wreck, and then watching it again and again from different angles and in slo-mo. I’m glad I have it on my DVD shelf.

Well, as long as you like _Gummo_ the assortment of video clips on and near that YouTube page ought to enliven your afternoon, evening, night, morning or lunchtime. All I can really advise for the movie itself is that you avoid eating before or after watching it.

If by “creepiest” you mean “most tedious”, then you win.

Really, the OP should change the name of this thread to “Let’s all post some Chris Cunningham clips, shall we?”

[The Cocaine Clown](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZpCsqs3I_s). ‘Creepy’ might be too strong an adjective, but there’s something about this video that really weirds me out. I’d really like to find out where I can buy one of those masks, though.
