Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 76)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we have some happy times, some sad times, some calm times and some hope.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Vidoes (Volume 75)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos, is brought to you by boxes. And beards. And also Ze.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 68)

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 66)

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 65)

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 64)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we go back to my favourite dance / music / politician / mma fighter / thingy.

• One nice thing about working on my favourite YouTube videos is that it's a good reason to go an d check out the channels of people I don't favourite regularly and when I did my last volume on
  WORLD ORDER オフィシャルサイト, I, ended up with some more favourites.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 63)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get music on a tea tin, posters made on three continents and the nerdfighteriest variety show.

• First, Laura Shigihara, gives us the Oolong cover of Schala's Theme from Chrono Trigger.
• Also check out the trailer for the game she's making! I'm excited!
• Next John Green takes a look at how the creation of a cool thing involved a lot of internet leg work and how copyright law's relation to that creation is complicated.
• Finally someone let John and Hank on the stage at Carnegie Hall. I guess there might be something interesting to watch in that (although I won't lie to you this video is 2 and a half hours long). Also the Mountain Goats show up and some guy named Neil something or other...

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 62)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we take a look at some cool and creative covers of video game music (surprise!).

• First we have Brentalfloss's Ballad of the Mages. The song is great, and the muppetry is awesome. One of my all time favourites (hence how it got in this list... I'm feeling super obvious today). 
• Next Brentalfloss sings of the love that a dinosaur who eats everything can have for a baby who fell out of the sky.
• Funny side note: I'm actually watching ProtonJon play Yoshi's Island right now.
• Finally Jimmy Wong puts together a great group of people to cover a medley of Legend of Zelda Music.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 61)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get back around to Christmas, chill out and celebrate the end of the rad!

• The first video is the Chemistry Christmas Tree from Periodic Videos. I love the community vibe of the University of Nottingham, School of Chemistry, and how you see students and researchers gathering together for a moment to show off what they love. (Also nice instrumental Christmas music)
• I love how the two halves of Pomplamoose make music thats just as awesome on their own as they are together even though they're in totally different genres. Here Nataly Dawn chills out and Dances.
• Finally, four rad dudes got together and made us the very final episode of the Totally Rad Show. (Warning, this is over an hour long!)

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 60)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get to enjoy music in boxes and music about boxes and learn together.

• First we have a guy making music in boxes. No not that guy. This guy! Even if the song doesn't grab you the video magic will! 
• Next Brentalfloss and DemonTomatoDave wax (on and off) reminiscent about the first ever Gameboy Mario game.
• Finally, John Green goes to TEDxIndiianapolis at how we learn together and how communities such as YouTube can help draw people together to learn.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 59)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we borrow a theme song, escape a labrynth using graphs and ride on a (no longer) new rail line.

• The first video in this set is Pomplamoose's theme song for "Hey It's Pomplamoose" (Their live streaming show). Also, they talk about a live stream that we can't go to without a time machine. Also also, I think Jack might be hard to live with, "How did you even get drums UP there?"
• Next, Numberphile and James Clewett unravel some Choose your Own Adventure books.
• Finally, The City of Calgary (my hometown) put up a video of the trip in to downtown on the new leg of the CTrain which opened late in 2012. I still haven't actually made the trip all the way out myself, but this video makes me happy.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 54)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos sings us a song, then doodles us some math and some art.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 53)

This musical volume of my favourite YouTube videos will be with you in a minute, but it has some questions about your philosophy (and also your building codes).

• Brentalfloss opens this volume up with the BioShock song. I find it hard to believe that I started following him because he seemed like a smart guy who could play video game music. Now look at him. Interestingly he also just released the BioShock Infinite song, if you enjoy this one.
• Next, Hank Green has his annual wizard rock song from 2012 with some questions for the wizards. Given that these feel a lot like the questions I run across when I'm looking at video games, I feel a bit like this song is an anthem for questions. 
• Finally, Pomplamoose will be there in a minute. (Minute, minute). Out of their original songs, I think this one is my favourite. I also like the dance for busy people who might have to pee.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 52)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we deal dealing with with death, how raspy throats lead to the labour movement and how everything seems to be linked to everything and that's pretty ok.

• First, Dan Misener (CBC producer and guy who reads stuff he wrote as a kid), ukuleles the joint up a bit covering "She's Dead" by Jim's Big Ego.
• Next, Hank Green got sick enough that he could sing on of my favourite songs, "Sixteen Tons" so he did.
• Then John Green reflects on a Leaky Con, is forced to read something he wrote as a kid (it's all circles) and discovers more circles and reflections in being.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 48)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we go back to our vlogbrother roots. Also, John sings in this one...

• First off, John addresses Hank's new found buffness and his plan for reciprocation, a treadmill desk.
• Then John (and John and John) play in the Carling Cup with the Swindon Town Swoodlillypoopers. There's no topic to this one, but you have to enjoy the nail-biter ending (if you're into imaginary games of football (as played with the feet)).
• Finally we see that Hank can't possibly be that buff. He's been tumbling down tumblr!

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 47)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get a little frisky, hurt our brains with physics and resolve our cliff hanger from the last volume.

• First in this volume. Ninja Porn. Didn't expect that did you? Also that seems like better music than most porn gets ... I'm just saying. (From SMPFilms)
• It also turns out that the Universe is Weird. As you might have noticed if you've ever spent any time listening to Hank Green.
• And finally: Did Nathalie rescue Jack? Did Jack learn his lesson? Is Batman AWESOME? Pomplamoose resolves your tension! At this Bat Time in this Bat Volume!

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 46)

In this very musical volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get some nostalgia, some laughs and some tension!

• Firstly, LeVar Burton and the crowd at w00tstock 4.0 sing the theme to reading rainbow. Included at no extra cost, squees from Mr. Wil Wheaton.
• Next, Husky and his friends sing his overlord song. I could maybe explain what's going on here, but really why would I ruin your fun.
• And finally we see a seminal moment in the life of Pomplamoose, while they mash up Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know and Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. What will happen to Jack? What will Nathalie do with unlimited power over the creative direction of Pomplamoose? Will another meme from the sumer of 2012 be able to save our heroes? DON'T. PUSH. THAT. BUTTON.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 42)

There's speculation that this volume of my favourite YouTube videos will hold the answer to life the universe and everything. I'm not saying that's true, but I'm not saying it's not.

• First off George Watsky would like you to know that "[He] Does Not Give a Fuck". 
• Next, Tessa Violet,  Meekakitty,  lipdubs several songs, including and most importantly "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf" by Rob Cantor. Also, these always entertain me for no particularly good reason.
• Finally, Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip lay down some commandments.
