The Oregon trail

Every time I try to ford that stupid river...

The dance of life

This is the soul revealed, my friends.

The Stare Down

This video combines two things featured on this blog: OK GO and the Muppets. What more could I want?

More feeling lucky

I'm feeling lucky

Oui, oui. This made me smile,

A different kind of panda

Now, I'm a huge fan of the black and white variety, but this is pretty darn cute.

Look at me, random stuff!

I know this is outdated...but I still appreciate it.

Do you have a golf ball?

This plant tries to avoid politics when posting videos. However, I am always on the environment's side. So, this goes out to all my fishy friends!

Ok Go fest

So, first, this plant also has a degree in dance and choreography. This is genius work. This plant's reaction to these videos "Gosh, these guys are so cool!"

OK Go - A Million Ways from OK Go on Vimeo.

WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaks for itself.



Cross my palm with tuna

The problem with brothers...

I'm just a horrible plant. A bad seed, if you will.

Cute Sea Creatures

This reminds me of those corona beer commercials. You know, minus the drinks and with otters instead. Okay, so maybe that doesn't really connect...



Now, time for the sea cow who has yet to figure out he/she is in a tank...

Kittens on a Slide

Yep, still unemployed.

pacman ghosts

happy b day pacman. go eat those meth balls

Nom Nom Nom Nom

AH MY FRIENDS ARE BEING CONSUMED!

Okay, so this is, in short, totally stupid. But it's fuzzy as all get out. Both these songs will, I promise you, get stuck in your head.



I know, this probably makes you a less intelligent person...I'm willing to take that risk (especially since I'm a plant)

Some College Humor

Okay, so maybe this plant has outgrown college...these still tickle me to the roots. Both, for some reason, relate to explosives.



Bells and Whistles make people better

This makes me a happy houseplant.

For more everyday fun, I suggest looking up improv everywhere





Cat Man Do

Back to kitties...I must be unemployed.

The best sport in the world

New Zealand, here I come. Horses are for losers.

The Hoff

I'm so glad this exists.



For a more serious look into Hasselhoff's world, watch this. Surprise, surprise: he is super creepy.

Land Down Under- Men at Work

What else could I want in a music video? There's always charm in a plushie koala bear.

Yogic Flying

Don't get me wrong--I think religion is important. A little prayer helps every plant. But there is something really, how do I say, INSANE about these people. On the other hand, I kind of want to join them. They are just so very happy.

Furthermore, if one percent of the world's population spent their time doing this instead of causing trouble, I think world peace would be a little more likely. There would be more sore butts than ever, though.



This is also lovely. The music brings out the beauty of bouncing.

Mega creatures!

This is kwality. AND HE EATS THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE...AND A PLANE OUT OF THE SKY



"It wasn't terrorists, it was a giant piranha." And apparently kicking them away works really well.

The front fell off

I think this describes most politicians.

More Muppets

A person can never have enough muppets in their life. Some of these videos--all of these videos--are extremely strange.

Let's start with a true classic:



Now, moving on to a statement about being sensitive, yellow, and non-violent resistance:



It turns out that vacuum hoses are more coordinated than 90% of the populations.
From the same geniuses who brought you the snerfs:

The Count Censored

Nothing like a well timed bleep.

Fainting Goats and Light up Sheep

The miracles of nature.



Boom goes the dynamite

Somethings just improve a plant's self esteem. This is one of them.

Kittens

I know, I know. But this had to happen. Let the cats out of the bag, folks!





Typical Movie Trailer

Blog post. Clever introduction to a clever clip. Something referencing my own sad lifestyle and seemingly approachable.

Charlie Brooker

Another similar idea in the next post.




Sweet Sixteen is healthy, just like drinking binges.

T-Shirt War

It speaks for itself.

DEADLINE

A sticky situation

Baseball at its best

Okay, so I'm not big into watching sports. I guess I watched too many kin get trampled on football fields in my youth. These videos, however, remind us all how important sports are to society.





French girl tells a story

This child's French is better than my English. Her story is way better than my life.

Frankie and Johnny's furniture store

This is so special that words cannot describe it (aside from "leheravehughughugh"). See the special man!

The Snerfs

I know I have a college degree and all (plant school was great), but the muppets occasionally make me feel inferior. My B.A. can't compare to this.
