Top 7 Youtube clips:

A new feature I’m adding to my blog is that every once in a while I’m going to post my seven favorite Youtube clips. Not sure why more people don’t do top 7 anything. Ten is too much, five is too little and seven just so happens to match the days of the week.

Either way, here are my top 7 Youtube clips:

1) I don’t know how I found this. I don’t know why it was made. All I know is that it’s amazing and I could probably watch a full hour of this stuff:

Backwards Sandcastles Blowing Up!

2) Ok. Feel free to make fun of me. You can call me gay, but I probably watch this 4 times a week and I have yet to get through it without getting emotional. It’s a Nike commercial that played immediately after the red sox won the World Series in 2004.

3) I’m way behind on my TV, but there’s a show out right now called Planet Earth that is blowing the doors off of all nature shows. They use incredibly high speed cameras and are able to get some of the most stunning footage I’ve ever seen. This clip is unbelievable. It makes me never want to go in the water again.

Shark Attack

4) This is more of a tease than anything else since they don’t have the full cartoon. Either way, this pretty much settles the “who was the coolest cartoon character of all time” debate. Look at that coat!!

5) This clip’s a little long, but it’s worth watching. If you don’t have 9 minutes to watch the clip, here’s the recap:

A heard of water buffalo are walking along this river in Africa. They come across a heard of lions. The lions decide to eat the water buffalo and take down one of their young. During the attack, the lions and baby buffalo slip into the river…where they are attacked by a pair of crocodiles. The lions win the battle for the baby buffalo, but before they can enjoy their meal, they are surrounded by an enormous herd of pissed off buffalo bent on getting their baby back. This is an astounding clip and marks the first time I’ve ever thought “man, I want to go to Africa!”

6) I’m not a big Metal fan, but I really enjoy this clip. These guys are the complete embodiment of Heavy Metal. Oh and they’re incredible at playing guitar and show how closely classical music and Heavy Metal are related.

Children of Bodom Perform Classical Piece

7) Amadeus is one of my favorite movies and this is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. This clip is a shorter version of the scene. I recommend watching the entire scene, but this gives a few of the highlights (such as “Doesn’t really work, does it?”)
