What is your favorite YouTube video?

Paula Deen making macaroni salad as Benjamin Franklin. Not really my favorite, but what came up in my suggestions.

Probably this one or another on this channel. I always go back to it.

There will never be another like the grape-stomping lady who gets the wind knocked out of her.

Scarlett Takes a Tumble is another favorite!

Jeremy Jordan performing Céline

This one.

Would love to be there. Happens every year in Dec.

Satisfying

Some Argentine queer tango with hot dancers, Leandro Capparelli & Fernando Gracia

The 1978 TV film of Harold Pinter's "No Man's Land." Gielgud, Richardson, and a young Michael Kitchen. I watch it every couple of months, it's so totally fucking great.

Russian Boy Salad

Thanks to the Coco Peru thread, I love any of the "Coco Peru Goes To..." videos. Especially this one:

Same here R12. Love Coco Peru. And that is one of my favorites, but they are all great.

I'm trying to find the '90s video, a DL favorite set in a Southern library, where the words, "Why I Never" - or words to that effect - are uttered in the context of this new internet thing.

If Hyacinth shops at Grace Brothers, she better steer clear of ladies wear.

Two sprays!

Must be a med student who was promised extra points.

Puppy gets groomed.

I love this and love the whole play.

I have two from Maime the Cat. First up:

Found it!

Next up, Maime ponders air travel. This was posted over 10 years ago, but 100% even more accurate in the wake of the pandemic, inflation, fuel prices, and general biped assholery.

The Practical Engineering channel =

This gay cutie called "Lone Fox"

Guy hitting on guys duh!

The video everyone needs to see =

The Ping Pong story by Gloria Upson from Auntie Mame

Who knew there were so many?

I"M BATMAN!!!

The one of the two gay gymnasts at a White Party performing on a high wire in their underpants. I don't know if YouTube took it down, but I can't find it. They were incredible! This is another fave.

Very informative dontcha think?

This guy could welcome me anywhere =

Sittin on tha toilet

I couldn't do this at age 22

or even 33 so hats off to you kiddo -

This fan made opening still puts a smile on my face...

Who knew?

What else could it be?

Gotta love Marge!

I luv gay friendly Amelia & JP who are US ex-pats living in South America -

For those of you with shorter attention spans, though, this 15 second clip always makes me lol

Psy, the world's greatest entertainer.

The Comic Con trailers of 2022 all in 1 video

Kurosawa, Kubrick, Lynch, Fellini, Herzog, Tarkovsky, with sound by Brian Eno. A 2.5 minute pick me up.

Dead Dead Dead

When Youtube was new...

Crazy fun video, and a catchy tune.

My favorite commercial jingle ever. Pure nostalgia from the eternal now of Datalounge

Stefan Pintev =

In case you need some...

These dollfaces.

I didn't know about half of these -

Ain't gonna peepee my bed tonight

This really is so energetic and motivating

They were a fun bunch with great chemistry =

My favorite shoot from the show -

This interview

R63, that was strangely disturbing. That child was like a mini Meatloaf. Did it grow up to be a serial killer?

This one. Everything about this is perfection, the grainy footage, the cruel humor towards the elderly and death, the short and sweetness of it, the slow motion, the man in the wig, the fact that its 13 years old, so an authentic youtube classic: Behold:

R69, I’m screaming!! Thank you. I might have ff’d you by mistake. I meant to WW you!

Just a comma, a pause...

I couldn’t find it on YouTube, but this is one of my all-time favorites. Just a woman singing and dissing Trump at the same time. I can watch it over and over and over and never get tired of it.

For some reason this little clip of trumpers getting arrested for the insurrection set to the piano coda from the song, Layla get my tits hard every single time I watch it.

I’ve watched this a zillion times.

"WInning" full album ('81) by The Sound

Wonder what this is all about?

The Kessler Twins

The blooper reel!!!

The new season looks promising!

Definitely one of my all time favorite.

Peach Bellini candle Karen

Yes R81! A DL classic. When I was new to DL in 2015 and asked what "Frau" means, this video was posted to explain it.

Tommy who is a 20 something autistic YTer in this touching video (from Canada at "lookyus") meets his favorite Disney characters on various trips to the amusement parks. He was non verbal for so many of his childhood years & identified with Dopey (who he labeled as autistic too). A sweet family =

Tallulah's guest spot on Lucy

Our old pal Steven. RIP, Steven. We excused your beauty too soon.

if Ariola Grande and Julia Sugarbaker merged into an old Russian lady, we'd have this nightingale. Her lip sync talents are unmatched.

Susan Sontag being the biggest, most imperious cunt of all time:

Dancing Sikhs

The lat Marin Mazzie knocking it completely out of the park and looking fantastic doing it. She makes me weep (Mary!) when she hits the word "strong." And it's a completely live performance with no cuts, juicing, autotune, or distracting movements.

Those last lines are likely the greatest words ever spoken in the entire history of humanity

[R81] for the win! Angela, the Queen of Appleton, Wisconsin.

Powder, Lipstick, Rouge

R83, that wasn’t creepy at all. 🙄

Billy's Dad Is A Fudge Packer

LOL!

Are you interested?

PRINCESS DIANA DEAD SCREAM

YT tantrums videos are interesting.

This brat pulls his mom's hair & even grabs the steering wheel.

Scary stuff.

Tantrum brat #2 =

A plethora of Roses...

R106, that video was very disturbing. Filming the boy, laughing at him and threatening to put the video on YouTube? Disgusting behaviour by adults. He’s a child despite his behaviour.

I hate people.

Some top notch stuff here -

Poor Philly...

Why is *that* your favorite video, r111?

Beastiality.

Put a raincoat on it.

I fucking love this one.

Tornado girl!

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE QUEEN ON LETTERMAN Performing Herculean Accompanied by The Demon Strings

TGTBTQ ARE: DAMON ALBARN PAUL SIMONON SIMON TONG TONY ALLEN (R.I.P.)

If you like music, you really ought to watch this. It's stunning.

The guy in the blue shirt.

Wrestlers...

Massage....

Yummy Underwear Model!!....

The Nitty Gritty - it's just incredible and fun dancing. I think DL introduced me to it. I can watch it over and over.

from :56-1:21 It's a go to for a smile

As someone who came of age at the height of the emo/goth trend of the mid-2000s, I have always gotten a kick out of this classic.

Ethan!!!....Destined for DL greatness!!....Or OnlyFans....Either way...

That was inspirational, R121, especially the skimpy green undies at 1:50.

This song is a fun favorite. I actually remember how popular it was when it came out. There are a couple different versions available on YT even the original black and white one. I believe this duo were a one hit wonder, in the States anyway, but they sure did get a lot of mileage out of this one song at the time.

Officially this. By far.

This always makes me smile.

Not as famous as her ‘88 Carmen program, but a technically more difficult program (her first & last triple Loop/Rittberger), with which she regained her World Title. Skating in Cincinnati, last in the group of 8 (immediately after Debi Thomas skated the performance of her life), Katarina gives the performance of her life, & gets a standing ovation to boot.

Can’t get enough of Nader’s moves.

Love Vic Berger’s edits.

I love Francesco and I love all of his videos but this is a favourite. His SOS is also joyful.

The Rhubarb Lady.

The first time I watched it I was aghast that a woman could have such a filthy mouth. Then I started laughing and enjoying her within the context of the video.

This is rather awesome: 1000 people playing Smells Like Teen Spirit

I like this video for no other reason but that the guy in the red shirt bouncing the ball is SO cute.

Fatboy Slim "Praise You" - One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Ten years ago, this fun edit of flash mobs dancing to ELO's "All Over the World" would make me think there's still hope for the world.

Not sure about today, but the gay boys at Target are cute.

Happy Holidays...

This one. David Bowie Live at Band Aid singing Heroes

I go to this one often

I couldn't find the original boat ride with the people falling over. But I found these dumb asses on scary boat rides with bad boat operators.

Here's a shortened version of the video I think you're looking for, R142.

Goof thinks he's a very skilled speedboat driver. Gotta get the adrenaline pumping.

R143, yes! That's the video. Thanks.

I never tire of this!

You're welcome, R142.

This video isn't entertaining. It's more interesting and sobering. I didn't know that the radiation which escaped from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor contaminated quite a bit of land in Belarus because of the wind at the time. The channel's host, a Brit called Benjamin Rich, is visiting the contaminated zone when he comes across a character named Kolya, who has a fondness for vodka. It's really sobering to see the way Kolya lives, alone in a dilapidated farmhouse with no electricity.

I did chuckle when Kolya tells Ben, "Shut up, young man, and don't shout. We're going to visit the cemetery."

The village where Kolya lives is Sinitsino. Unfortunately, google street view isn't available there.

I wish Ben had rented a Geiger counter and taken some readings of the soil.

This fairly 1980s pop song, "For Tonight" by Nancy Martinez. The blond boy gets my juices flowing.

^^ .. fairly obscure 1980s...

Dire Straits Alchemy Live - Sultans of Swing

"How to tell an Irish man there may be a gay in the family". The ending is pure genius.
