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.

Sometimes my favourite YouTube videos feel timeless, but this particular set feel very tied to the summer of 2012. They still seem interesting so here they are:

• First off Ze Frank pushes himself out to the edges:
• Next Ze handles business. All of these missions and projects are long since wrapped up, but still it's cool to see that point of action on so many cool things. Also Hank Green dreams strange dreams (just like the rest of us).
Finally Philip DeFranco set the world record for Ninja (again) and that was just cool.

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos takes a look a two very important constants in the universe, mass, and love.

• First ZeFrank and Hank Green talk about the discovery of the Higgs Boson (and also spiral hotdogs).
• Next John Green talks about how John Green and John Green met and fell in love while playing for the Swindontown Swoodilypoopers. While this might seem confusing, just trust that John Green (one of them) knows how to tell a story.

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a grab bag of thinking.

• The first video in this volume is "A Letter from God to Man" from Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. This is one of my favourites in its own right, but I also really like the  "Planet Telex" sample.
• Next Hank Green talks about online video, why he created VidCon and he speaks a lot for me about why I'm making these posts.
• Finally, Charlie McDonnell plays the Mario theme on his face. Oh and I guess talks about some stuff. That's kinda cool too.

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.

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos lets us think a little bit about how math, and society works and how to solve the problems that face us.

• I don't think there's much selling that needs to be done to tell you that a ViHart video is awesome, but I'll give it a try anyway! MATH! HISTORY! PYTHAGORAS! PROOF BY MURDER! BEANS! ... Did that work?
• ZeFrank puts together some very good thoughts on how the culture of the Internet works and how much energy is required to act. Also, if I ever figure out how to bottle that post movie viewing energy I'll be well set for life.
• And if you have some problems that need to be solved, John Green is the person to help you solve them.

Organizational Note: I'm reducing the number of videos per Favourite YouTube Videos post to three to reduce the strain on browsers (primarily chrome). I have also reduced the number of posts displayed on the main page from 5 to 4, which I hope will also help. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reduce the number of posts shown at a time using categories/tags or searches. 

It's the start of a new year and it's that time when people starting thinking about improvement. Fortunately my next three favourite YouTube videos all help with a little self improvement.

• First off, Hank has some productivity tips:
• Next, Ze Frank talks about what we leave out: 
• Finally Pomplamoose, will help you learn how to communicate through dance:
