:smile::smile::smile: I can't stop watching it! My roommate showed it to me and I almost peed myself laughing. Now I'm laughing like an idiot by myself watching it again.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard... o man.

:smile::smile: O lord. whoever came up with the concept is a genius.

EDIT: why won't the videos show in the post? all I see is a white square.

Just put the video code (i.e. x3_rsg2yvkw) inside the youtube tags -- cristo

Cyrus, if you haven't even slightly lost control of your bladder watching those videos, you have no soul. I thought they were faaabulous.
 
I thought the Creed one was freakin hilarious. :smile:

I...I don't get it?
 
You have odd taste in comedy.
 
Why do people say "pee my pants" instead of "pee in my pants"? You "pee in a urinal" or "pee on or near the urinal" depending on how sloppy you are, but you wouldn't say "I'm going to "pee a urinal".

Probably pants is correct, and urinal wrong. After all, you water the garden, not water in the garden. If you pee the garden, don't ask me to taste your homegrown peas. Was he wearing the pants when he peed them?

So, wait... when you pee in the toilet, pants don't come shooting out of you?? Where do you get your pants then?

If I didn't pull my pants down, then I would pee in my pants. I wouldn't pee my pants. I just find it odd when people say "pee my pants" or "peed my pants". You say "I peed on the floor" or "I peed in the garden", or I "peed in the woods", so I don't understand why people say "peed my pants". It just sounds wrong. Is it just a slang expression?

Is that based on the original video for "march of the pigs"? I guess I never saw that video. NIN is genius. And yah the remix was kind of funny, i could recognize some parts of the song in it.

Because if you say 'pee a urinal' it sounds like you are trying to squeeze an actual urinal out of your pee-hole.

Oh, so people are saying they are squeezing a pair of pants out of their pee-hole. :eek:

And who says we don't have intelligent conversations in GD?

We say it because when we pee our pants, it doesn't stay in our pants. I personally have to deal with this at least once a day with a mop.

Me neither. :confused: What's supposed to be funny? They seem like really BAD bands, the usual sort of crap you find on YouTube. Then again, I got bored about halfway through all of them (not even that far through on some). Was there something at the end I was supposed to wait for?

The first is the music video from Metallica's One, and the song is clearly supposed to BE One, but it sounds awful. I don't see how it's funny in the least.

The fourth looks like a Guns N Roses concert with whatever it's supposed to be recorded over the original sound.

Heavy metal probably sounds better remixed.

Terrible form of "music." A bunch of losers.

OK, so all they did was filter out the specific channels and redubbed them in crappy ways. How is this funny? All they did was take great music and bastardized it.

That's all it sounded like to me too, and I couldn't figure out why it was funny either. I thought maybe there was something more I got impatient about and missed...like those videos that have something jump out at you at the end to scare you.

Yes. "The end" itself so you can get back to your life. You were smart and bailed out. Congratulations! - I think maybe the buzzword here is hormonally/chemically mediated responses that do not correspond to the stimulus.

"pee my pants" is like "it happened on accident". Another current linguistic massacre. Where the H did the "on" come from? It must have mutated from the missing preposition in "pee my pants"? Lose one preposition here, and add it back, changed and in the wrong place, somewhere else. But the paragraph above offers a hypothesis as to why it may never make sense anyway. :)

Okay, thanks. So, I guess the only question remaining is whether or not moe would have passed a sobriety test when he was peeing in his pants, and whether said peeing was related to the videos or the state of sobriety?

And were you sober at the time? If you were, all I can say is we have VERY different senses of humor. :rolleyes:

Ditto on the Metalica and Creed, I can see my oldest son making some of these with his buddies.
