What’s On – Best of Youtube

Ahh Youtube. The place you go to watch just one little video…. 5 hours later you are sitting there, quite depleted of energy but fully enriched when it comes to the world of nonsensical tat. Cats, dogs, babies, people falling down.. sometimes all in the same clip. This is the random hilarity that we find on the site. But it has also opened up a world for people to acquire an online voice and with 100 hours of video being uploaded to YouTube every minute, the content is plentiful. This is why we have pulled out the best of Youtube for your pleasure and video watching enjoyment.

8-Bit Elf

Another hilarious video from CineFix, this time, the Christmas edition! Once you see this retro depiction of Elf, will you be once again pining for the 80s. Now I’m sure my old console is up in the loft somewhere…

Hit Record TV

An exciting venture from the ever gentlemanly Joseph Gordon Levitt who is bringing together a whole host of creatives (well known and undiscovered) to display their talents to the world via the television. Following the success of its internet equivalent, the variety-esqe show will feature writers, musicians, photographers, producers and artists amongst others as they collaborate to create original and inspiring episodes. Here is the trailer.

Westjet Father Christmas

Quite corny but full of Christmas cheer.

Don’t Drink and Drive Prank

What is involved? 5 DUI’s, a whole lot of alcohol, a hilarious friend and one almighty prank. It also has quite a serious overall message.

Snowing Mistletoe Kissing Prank

We’re not sure whether we are more surprised that this actually worked on a few women or that no one has ever done this before. Taking the Christmas spirit (kind of) to the streets.

Elvis Impression

Yes, you will still prefer the original Elvis, but 16-year old David Thibault’s tribute is pretty uncanny.

Simpsons Christmas

Da dun dun da da dun dun dadadadada… We all know the classic Simpsons couch gag for the opening credits. Check out their festive reboot.

Every Fighting Game. Ever.,

Everyone that has ever played on a games console will recognise this format. Rigid punches and professional kicks into the air as you figure out you “a” keys from your “c” keys. Then in the mad rush of the fight all skill goes out the window, you forget your keys and just end up pressing them all manically hoping one of them will hit. Check out this comic human depiction.
