First video ever to do that.
I heard about the video on South Park. It seemed to me to be just a perfectly ordinary rap-type music video. It's a bit funny and self-ironic and has some nice girls (I like the faux red-head), but nothing exceptional. What the heck has made it break all records on Youboobs?
Update: I'm not the only one wondering. Thanks to A for pointing to this explanation, which I like.
I have to admit the thing is growing on me like a fungus. He does have a fearless and consistent sense of humor.

... Anyway, this version (I think it's the same song!...) has more of the girlie:

Update: aha: it's catchy. The kind that drills into your brain and sticks there until you take it out with a hammer or industrial drugs. You've been warned.

Yes, it's the same song.

ReplyDeleteBecause of how funny the dude looks - a fat little asian dude pretending to be, I don't know, the Korean Slim Thug or something (I picked the most ridiculous rapper I could think of). Then there's that even smaller Korean kid who kind of reminded me of that midget from Fantasy Island - he's even funnier.
Yes, the kid was very good.
ReplyDeleteAnd the thing does have nice self-irony. I liked the sequence where Psy and the models where plastered with confetti or what it was.
There are a lot of funny videos, it's impossible to say why this particular one caught the public imagination.
ReplyDeleteThere are a gazillion different tribute versions of this. I like this one from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology):

ReplyDeleteThe funny dance moves.
The Gunman Style is very funny, and the girl in the white bikini is really something.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this MIT, good thing you told us what that was.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Anonymous, you passed the test. You are now allowed to use your name in posts.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Bruce. Maybe, since identities aren't verified, I'll just go by Bruce.

ReplyDeleteI'm going out a limb here, but I'd wager you're not a member of Mensa. (I know, it's not going out on a limb when something is quite that obvious - it would be like gambling on anything where there's a less than 1% chance you won't win.)

ReplyDeleteThank you! I like it.
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading when they said how it succeeded on six levels. Only six? I counted nine.

We are, except Eolake, all pretty much anonymous...except that signing a name means you don't get lumped with all Anonymouses. I should log in every time but it's such a drag. It would waste valuable seconds.
I too should've logged in. I posted the link to the explanation, I did not post any of the other Anon comments.
