Vids in english


Hi everyone. This time I’m going to show you an in-English vid quite humorous… I felt the more common jokes in English are referred to the same language (like The Annoying orange and the “to-may-to” joke, for example (I hate The Annoying orange anyways)). Personally I don’t watch many videos where someone talks in –unless they were movie trailers or video-tutorials-. Well… I saw this when I was a child and it can’t be translated. So here’s the original Slappy Squirrel and Skippy performance at the Woodstock festival. Enjoy it! (And “Who” is on stage)



In second place, I’m going to show you a very new vid (not). Searching in my favorite list on YouTube I found this excellent trailer: Trainspotting (a Scottish film about drugs and life). I think this trailer is so amazing because the narrator tells you all over the trailer the standard rules of life and the choices you can do while you are living (he starts whit “choose life, a job, choose a career, choose a family…”), then he shows you all the stupid social things people usually do and, finally, he shows you the ironically way you’re going to die (“Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future.”). Well, the movie is about some junkies and they own world. So, they don’t choose life; they chosen something else, and that is the movie. A very strange way to describe a great movie. Here’s the trailer:


Finally, I give you this bonus track. Is a music video released last month I guess. Die Antwoord and their typical strongly bad English. I really enjoy their conversations.
Cheers!
