I'm tired of clogging up "The Internet" with unfunny videos. Perhaps, one day, "Funny" videos and "Interesting" videos will join hands together and not look upon each other in prejudice. Perhaps, videos will not be judged by their genre but by the contents of their character!
Anyway, here's a super cool video. I am absolutely in loved with Hip Hopized Japanese culture.

I think this thread is redundent. The Funny Videos thread has its share of unfunny videos, and we've even had input in the past about that. After the reply that the Funny Vid thread is practically just a Video thread (which is alright), it was never brought up again. I think Animeniax was the one who brought up how videos were unfunny, and Xan replied.
If this sets a precedence, it justifies things like "The Horror Video thread" or "The Movie Trailer Video thread".
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

This is pretty interesting. I wonder if it works with people whose languages have no differentiation between 'b' and 'f'.
I know some people who simply can't hear the differentiation between words with a slightly different pronunciation, because their accents just don't pronounce words that way.
This British guy I know accidentally said N-*** instead of Nigga, because he couldn't hear the difference in normal spoken word. At all. No matter how much it was explained to him.

Thing is our linguistic brain evolution almost totally stops after the age of 4 or 5. Or it becomes incredibly less efficient in deciphering and registering new linguistic sounds.
So I can understand why your british guy can't comprehend even after being explained. This also explains why it's so hard to learn languages that are too different from your natural one regarding sounds, rythm and intonations.
Regarding the McGurk effect, it worked on me. But I might be even more affected than anyone else, because since English isn't my natural language, I need to read on the lips even more than you do even in that video since it's presented in English. But even then, the sounds are so simple that I'm ashamed it worked that well. Closing my eyes proved how stupidly efficient this is...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Don't most Brits pronounce words that end in "a" with an "ar" sound? So saying "ni**a" will end up sounding like the actual word.Originally Posted by Sapphire

I'm not really sure I understand your question, but it depends on the accent. RP/Queen's English deletes all Rs unless they are followed by a vowel but other accents pronounce the R. Yorkshire, Bristol, and Somerset accents, for example.

Here's a full distribution of rhotic and non-rhotic English accents
I'm curious to see how Spanish speakers would interpret it. Most Spanish dialects do not differentiate between b and v.
Edit: I vote we make one big "Video" megathread.
Edit 2: I haven't had a Linguistics Boner this hard since I graduated from college.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I heard "fah" like two times but the rest of the time I heard "bah".
Me = defective....?

I keep hearing "bah" but its true that when he motions his teeth for a "fah" the sound feels weird, it made me feel uncomfortable.
The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
Strange video from a Hertzog documentary wherein a penguin goes insane and runs off into the mountains to die:
Hertzog tries to alleviate the situation by asking about gay penguins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipxaoVpuE-I#t=816s
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
This would make a good Zoloft commercial.
Or Happy Feet.

It is extremely interesting to me that some people can go out into the wilderness, by themselves or with a minimal amount of people, and just live with it for months or even years at a time. No TV, maybe some books. Just them and the study.

they are trying to beat the shit out of the dog, the man in white tries to help the other man
watch carefully at the beginning, the dog is the agressor and no one else
so either something has happened outside the screen, or the dog is just agressive as fuck
Why didn't they just kick it in it's stupid dog face?
i dont get that either,...
edit: funny, at around 0:48 it looks like the dog vanished
Why is there a dog in the barber shop to begin with? lol @ that one dude looks like he's slapboxing with the dog.
