I didn’t want to call this ‘favourite youtube vids’ because what I want people to post doesn’t have to be their favourite. It just has to be something they consider worth posting. Something good, clever, or funny. I submit this… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/yVjzd320gew/hqdefault.jpg "Treadmill Kittens") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVjzd320gew) p.s. anyone followed the ‘you suck at photoshop’ series? It’s worth following. ---

From 1928, I give you [The Ingenues - “The Band Beautiful”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ACtACBX0gM). At least until they break out the nine accordions and the eighteen banjos. ---

You’ve probably seen the [Big Dog](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww) robot video, but have you seen the [outtakes](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJZVZFRFJc)?

It’s not exactly light stuff, but it is amusing how he utterly and completely destroys creationists’ arguments. ---

[Jethro Tull perform “Too Old to Rock and Roll”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80LJTeto8MQ) Live at Tampa Stadium in 1976. No special effects (or even cordless mics!) Just having a damn good time 🙂 They don’t make them like that any more. ---

This is from a 1956 episode of the game show “I’ve Got A Secret”. The guest was present when a President was assassinated. President LINCOLN. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHVruM8y3Q](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHVruM8y3Q) (this starts with a cigarette commercial.) Also note the guest almost didn’t do the show due to a small accident. We would have lost this historical moment. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/youtube-vid-thread/448866.md?page=2)
