Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #8 Michael Jackson: This Is It (Steve Porter Remix)

Another classic from DJ Steve Porter, the guy who brought us Slap Chop. It's a press conference for Michael Jackson to announce to the world his last ever gigs. Alas they never did happen but would they have been as entertaining as this video? We will never know. This is not the last you'll hear of Steve Porter in this list. But it is the first time you'll see Dermot O'Leary. 




WHY IT'S AWESOME: The great music; that's why we're here isn't it? Maybe not as catchy as others on the list but still pretty good. I love the fact it's just a couple of minutes of video on repeat. I love some repetition in my videos that's for sure. 

BEST PART? Is it the amount of times MJ says "This is it"? 

Is it Dermot O'Leary bizarrely turning up and introducing MJ at the beginning? 

OR IS IT the guy we keep seeing at the front of the crowd with his eyes closed screaming and squeezing his hands together like he can not believe how lucky he is?? 

Yeah it's him.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #7 Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions

Made for MTV, Andy Samberg and Will Ferrell sing it how it is. 


WHY IT'S AWESOME: For starters it's 80s heavy and it has Will Ferrell, sorry I mean Neil Diamond singing.

It also contains these amazing lyrics 

  • "Don't think about the people you've killed" 
  • "The more you ignore it, the cooler you look" 
  • "Mark Wahlberg is wearing a hat" 
and my personal favourite... 
  • "There's cool guy errands that they have to walk to."
Also see if you can guess all the films. I love a good montage. Who doesn't?

They raise a good point too... How do Cool Guys walk away from explosions? And as if to confirm a "real life take" on this, take a look at this video. 


"Don't you DARE bad month Star Wars! That was all accurate!"  

BEST PART? JJ Abrahms turning up for his keyboard solo.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire of #6 The Wicker Man Comedy Trailer

It turns out you CAN totally change a movie by putting a different soundtrack to it.


WHY IT'S AWESOME: Because this is truly an awful film. An awful, AWFUL film. But this trailer makes me want to watch it again. 

BEST PART: So, so many to choose from.
  • "What's in the bag? A shark or something?"
  • "HOW'D IT GET BURNED??? HOW'D IT GET BURNED??? HOW'D IT GET BURNED??? HOW'D IT GET BURNED???"
  • "Step away from the bike."
  • "From Warner Bros. comes a comedy about traditions, love and bees."
  • Nicholas Cage dressed as a bear? 
  • Nicholas Cage punching a woman in the face??
Let's be honest, as soon as you start hearing Katrina And The Waves it's all gold from there. Favourite fake trailer, ever.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #5 Plants Vs Zombies

I'm sure everyone has played this game either on the Playstation, DS, XBox, iPhone or Mac but I just fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. If I remember right it turns up at the end of the game when you complete it, and what a treat!


WHY IT'S AWESOME: Everyone loves zombies don't they? And the song is so catchy, it's delightful! The game is totally addictive so the song goes with it perfectly! I've lost count how many times I've heard it; it's too good a song for it to be annoying. As soon as it's in your head, it's there to stay. The zombies are great, I think my favourite is the one with the screen door as a shield. And why does the dolphin sound so EVIL? Altogether now, "There's a zombie on your lawwwwwnnnnnn!!!!!"

BEST PART? The tagline gets me every time "Get ready to soil your plants!" I hope someone got a big, fat cheque for that one.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #4 Brodyquest

Do you like Adrien Brody? Do you ever wonder what he gets up to on his days off? Wonder no more! Here is Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody on his day off. Yes it's weird, and I know many people probably give up around the 1 minute mark, but I think your patience gets rewarded. If by rewarded you mean seeing Adrien Brody TAKE OVER THE WORLD. As one of my friends said, they could have improved on Predators by swapping the last reel with Brodyquest. It's kinda the same thing.



WHY IT'S AWESOME: I suppose that depends a bit on if you like Adrien Brody. For me, it's the music. You want to annoy your neighbours? Put on repeat and go out for the afternoon.

BEST PART? I like the star fish following him. It's cute. And his face on the Pope's hat. And the music that just. Won't. Stop.

COULD IT GET EVER SO SLIGHTLY ANNOYING? No. No it could not. Well maybe.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #3 Stop Eating my Sesame Cake

This one is fairly recent to me, and I found it totally by accident. One night on Twitter, I was asking what to watch when it was decided that I should put on Congo. My friend then tweeted "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE" to which I was struggling to remember where it was from in the movie. A quick search into YouTube and this baby came up. The rest, as they say, is history. And on repeat. 


                       

WHY IT'S AWESOME: Because it's got Tim Curry in. It's from the movie Congo. It sounds like the soundtrack to Mega Man on the NES. Need I go on?? To be fair there's really nothing else to go on about.

BEST PART? The 8-bit style music.

COULD IT GET EVER SO SLIGHTLY ANNOYING? It reminds me too much of my NES for it to be annoying.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #2 The Dickhead Song

Oh hipsters. Most of you exist because of T4 who decided to employ some of the most cretinous people around. Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh, but my god they are a smug bag of bastards. But this song sums them all up nicely.



WHY IT'S AWESOME: Because it's actually an amazing song. It will be in your head all day long. Also it's the little things in the video that make it ace, one of my favourites being Miquita Oliver's face on the poster. She's hosting the gig apparently. And the newspaper with the headline "Dickheads are cool!!! Thousands distraught" is also great- I love the picture alongside it, "Man screams for his sanity."

BEST PART? The endless quotability.

  • "I play synth/ we all play synth!"
  • "Polaroid app on my iPhone/ Taking pictures on London Fields/ Up on the blog so everyone knows/ We've having new age fun with a vintage feel!!!"
  • "Yah, I'm currently writing my own magazine and it's all about my balls."
  • "I design my own jewellery line it's like a mix of religious iconography kinda with a Saved By The Bell vibe."
And also because we all know that if we go up town on a Saturday night, at least 85% of people will be dressed like the dickheads in the video. FACT.

COULD IT GET EVER SO SLIGHTLY ANNOYING? Literally, never.

Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of- #1 Slap Chop

Until I can think of a better title for it here is the first in the series of "Videos I Will NEVER Tire Of." Or things I like on YouTube.

I'm starting with this classic from 3 years ago the Slap Chop remix by DJ Steve Porter. In case you didn't know, Slap Chop is a kitchen utensil which some how makes life easier. Apart from the fact you have the slice the food to fit under the Slap Chop, and I'm not really sure how much easier you really need it. It looks horrible when he just chops the food into mush. Why would I eat my breakfast like that? It also looks like a medieval torture device when he opens it, it would chop you enemies face off.

We all know when you see something like this you say "Hey! That's a great idea! Why don't I own one?" Then you buy it, put it in the cupboard next to the toastie maker (takes too long to clean), the steamer (I'll just use the microwave) and the slow cooker (I don't like leaving it on when I'm not in the house). Yeah, money well spent.




WHY IT'S AWESOME: Apart from the sick beatz I think that it really makes you want to buy what is probably the most pointless kitchen invention ever. Well I do.

BEST PART? I like when he throws the Slap Chop's competitor behind him into the sink. I like to think that took him hours to get it right.

COULD IT GET EVER SO SLIGHTLY ANNOYING? Hell no.
