Confusing, amusing and pointless — The YouTube 7

YouTube is fun. It is a place for the talent and the untalented. As the video sharing site says it seeks to “give everyone a voice”. However, looking at some of what is featured on YouTube, you have to wonder, does everyone deserve a voice?

Here are seven videos to add that extra something your day is lacking.

Meet on Facebook

We are a obsessed with Facebook. There’s no denying it we love it and it really should help us found the love of our lives. Romancing through song is nothing new. With certainty I tell you that the first beat ever drummed out was to attract the attention of the local cave beauty. So why should things be any different now? Therefore, while you may want to mock professional musician, Bang’s magnum opus “Meet me on Facebook”, remember he’s only carrying on a rich and time-honoured tradition, just applying it to the social media age. However, one does wonder; is it “meet me on Facebook”, as it is titled, or “meet me on the Facebook”, as he sings it?

Semisonic cover — Closing time

Perhaps it’s time we started thinking seriously about curtailing the freedom of singing. The guitar, being a relatively easy instrument to play has fooled many into thinking that they could be the next Eric Clapton. However, add YouTube to that mix and suddenly we’re inundated with hundreds of cover versions done in the excruciating genre of ‘soft-rock’. Kevin here is a fantastic example. If their warbling of soft-rock is not enough to convince you, remember that the reason we have the likes of Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell, is because with every view the likes of Kevin get, they think, “hey, I could be the next Jimi Hendrix”.

DC all by myself

It’s not nice to pick on kids, and I would never do that, but this boy is a perfect example of what’s wrong with this world. However, what is truly wrong with this isn’t him, but his parents. Where are they? Why are they allowing him anywhere near a computer? Why are they not telling him, “honey this is not a good idea”, or better yet, simply deploying the one word that for years has been used to great effect by parents, “no”. This little boy should be seen not heard.

USA busty adventures

At least with the boy and Kevin they had the excuses of being a child and mistakenly believing themselves to be talented to explain their actions. Mellie, who goes under the moniker, “twohugeones,” and devotes the entirety of her YouTube channel to displaying her breasts in various situations is clearly under the impression that breasts make a personality. But then of course, with a total upload view count of over 23-million, she may be onto something. Gentlemen, answer for yourselves…

Fashion 101

Going through this channel it’s clear this young lady is something of an enigma. Is she a budding fashionista, is she a social commentator or is she merely vlogging. All these elements can be found on her channel. However there is one thing that you won’t find on there. Humour. And clearly she believes she has it. With the overuse use of capitals and punctuation reminds me of those people that just discovered a keyboard. ‘I LOVE BROOKES VIDEOS!!!!!! OMG!!!! This video is sooooooooooooooooooo funny!!!’ essentially encapsulates why Brooke should be banned from ever uploading anything on YouTube again.

Hotness prevails

Appearing half-naked yet promising he “hasn’t sold out”, but then also guessing that he is selling out so “hello ladies, I’m naked for you! And the guys.. some of you,” the interesingly named would-be social commentator, The Wine Kone, goes to show that sex doesn’t always sell. However, his eight minute long rant starting with pondering the question of why the earth has to “get so close to the sun”, going onto pirates and how “there may be pirates and they do pirate-y things, but there’s no such thing as a pirate”, is certainly something to think. I am still wait for a real point.

Black and white people furniture

When possible, look at your sofa, I mean take a good look at it. You may not know it, but it just may be secretly racist. Maybe it’s a sofa for black people or a sofa for white people, who knows? The Red House knows. The intuitive people at The Red House can help you with furnishing “perfect for black people and perfect for white people” respectively. Other races search elsewhere. The singing is pretty entertaining.
