Ah, youtube, bastion of street fights and fire melons; of parkour and grievous injuries. The other week I was visiting a friend’s apartment and witnessed several children beating another with cardboard tubes and empty 2-liter soda bottles while filming.
This is our culture.
Well, I guess it’s not that bad. While home to some seriously mind-numbing insipid content, youtube is also a vast repository for anything recorded. While a lot of copyrighted material won’t be on there if anyone can make money off of it, the sheer breadth of material is staggering.
The video I’m posting is British, very British. Originally aired on BBC as a satire of educational films of the 70s and 80s, each episode is about ten minutes long. The humor in it is very dry and absurd, so if that’s not your thing, you might not quite enjoy it, but then you would be no friend of mine.
I wanna live like common people
