I must also be dumb, for I found that highly amusing and impressive.

We have American Idol and you're criticizing that?

Apparently it's a movie type I can't watch, but um... you do know that it's an Israeli site, right? Not French?

Hee hee darling, it's a very amusing man playing his small suit outifitted with tuned, squeeze horns. It's not actually an insult. [Smile]

Well, the guy talks in french. So I just assumed...

But, yeah, I considered it pretty dumb. Maybe not the French, just that one guy in particular.

Don't worry Annie. It's a French guy. [Smile] I'm actually quite impressed. I would LOVE entertainment like that at a party or dinner instead of a retarded stand up comic.

You gotta love the culture that gave us Marcel Marceau and Jordy.

So, I came downstairs and commandeered my roommate's pc just to watch it.

That is so cool! I think I'll have to learn that for the next talen show I go to.

(I Love the "Retour au classique!" after the "pop." Ha ha ha!)

Ahahahahaa, I have that video saved somewhere on my computer. Awesome.

Also on the web, http://www.jerry.digisle.tv/room.html

Amex decided to do "webisodes" of their Jerry Seinfeld/Superman commercials, so that they could make them longer. Sorta like "The Hire" films that BMW did ( www.bmwfilms.com )

That was absolutely amazing. I agree...in a culture where American Idol is King, this is head and shoulders above it. Bring back the Gong Show! This reminds me of that Japanese video with the "Matrix"-like pseudo-puppetry ping pong game. It also looked to be on a variety show and was hilarious and clever to boot. Very cool. Call me dumb, but I like this kind of stuff.

I thought it was cute but I wished the audience had stopped clapping so much so I could hear him better.

Still, I liked it =)

Maybe the trouble, for Book, is that the audience was wearing Tuxedos. I thought it was funny, but not brilliant. There have been a number of wearable instruments since the invention of the synthesizer.

It does hark back to the days of "Real People" and "That's Incredible".

I'll make one of my occasional appearances to say this is funny! Not hillarious but it is funny. Sorry, Book. You're vastly in the minority on this one.

Of course, you can find plenty of stupid videos at StupidVideos.com . With the number of active posters here at Hatrack, someone may have already linked that site previously. I don't know if any of them are French in origin [Big Grin] .

i used to love stupid videos. My favorite was:

*warning...tasteless humor ahead*

where the monkey farts, cups the smell in his hand, and then sniffs his hand and proceeds to knock himself out with the smell. the fact that he throws his arms up in the air and falls of a tree branch makes it even funnier. [Smile]

I can't seem to find it there anymore.

That's when you realize how alike we are to our noble, graceful primate brethren.

Also that poo is funny.

Anyone know the specific name of those horns, or where to get them so I can attempt this? Think about it, I could be the life of the funeral if I could do this.

I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. That guy was amazing. And yeah, was definitely not an Israeli site. That don't look nuthin like no Hebrew. Icelandic I'll buy. Thanks for sharing the Horn Guy. How do you say "Horn Guy" in French?
