Cool/funny links

Post by joannaardway » Fri Apr 28, 2006 9:30 pm

I've decided to add this topic because I know I see so many things online that should be shared with others:

Canon Rock in D guitar (amazing to watch):
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 1670441597

Maestro (Very amusing - it gets better as it goes along):
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ro&pl=true

There are others but they are based on english adverts, so I'll link to them later, if people want to see them.

I'm going to pin this, and others should contribute.

Remember, keep the links amusing - they can link to sites, but videos are possibly prefered by some.

Don't link to your website, unless it chronicles this kind of stuff.

Another link of fun:

Having played Pachelbel's Canon several times (clarinet, not electric guitar...), that is completely insane!! Awesome find.

Well, there is an mp3 file somewhere on teh interweb (damn it - it's the gamer in me coming out! - there is also an mp3 for the Ultimate showdown)

I tend to get most of my links from friends - or I see them somewhere and try to find them.

I'm told that 100 million people worldwide have seen "Star wars kid" - i.e. one in 60 people - so how many of you have seen it?

Original:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... id&pl=true

Computer edited version
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... id&pl=true

If I find the link to the mp3 for Canon rock, then I'll add it to this post as an edit.

And - people - some of you must have seen things along these lines - post links if you can find them. I'm currently the only person to have added any links...

Amusing, but in somewhat bad taste. Why can't people just be happy with classical music?

It's actually a very good piece - that is very impressive guitar playing...

I like the original and other classical music, but I have other musical tastes (rock music mostly - I'll go and post some of the tracks I listen to in the music thread...)

Maybe it is just my different tastes. I agree, however, that it demonstrates reasonable skills.

As no-one else is linking to anything, I'm posting the link to Nibordude's Douchenator Commercial thread to add some more to the thread.

http://forums.sscentral.org/t3551/

I have other links to post, but I'm not sure whether or not people would be offended by them (I don't see why they really should be, but people are odd). I'm going to err on the side of caution and wait for another time.

Well, considering this is Off Topic, there is no reason not to post the link--unless, of course, it violates the SSC rules, in which case I don't feel the need to look at it anyway.

Remember, it's the content that counts--ZOCCOZ's site is a bit "questionable," but it still shows good information. If your link site is a cool or funny link, as per the thread, then I suggest that you go ahead and post it.

EDIT: Are we only looking for media links? That's all you've posted so far...

There was this movie site my friend showed me once that had this really funny, corny, short, and well done movie--I'll post the link if I ever remember.

I've only posted media links thus far as that is my prefered type, but html links are perfectly good too.

Cillit bang advert - remixed:

And an html link (discretion advised) - If I get any requests to remove the link, I will do so as soon as I can:

Well, it's not too interesting, but it's basically the only source that tells you the truth when it comes to American politics: "The Nation."

I hope this doesn't reveal too much about my political stance :p ...
