Internet Commenter Funeral

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLKP4BP-n6A

This is a funny video that is an exact representation of what it’s like to comment over at YouTube!  In fact it should have been called YouTube Commenter Funeral! The language is not safe for work, much like the comments on YouTube, so keep the volume down!

Anyway… check out the 1 minute 25 second mark where a guy starts going into the origin of the word über and the girl responds with “Would you stop quoting Wikipedia!”  Sounds familiar, right?

    Just recently I was looking up some info on a band on wikipedia and it was inaccurate and I wanted to scream.

    How does the guy that says “Last!” know he’s last?

    That comment at 1:25 wasn’t your input? They robbed you. We need to get them for that. :twisted: Would be great to have a watch like that one. You could mute troubling people. ;-)

    Actually I thought commenting over at YouTube was more like the HotForWords GTW Game 18 video. Just saying “Hi” and then you hear a loud BOOM! and feel some buckshot whiz past your ear and after a while you get used to ducking blasts from blunderbuss fire on a regular basis.

    Yes… the lingo left for comments on You Tube videos is troubling.
    Indubitably, as it were, at any rate, therefore, uh… hmmm? :shock: :roll: :smile:

    Love the pics from a real camera, can really appreciate the bling.
    A typical Y/T comment= You’re pitiful. I’d a’ hoped “JB” had a good sense of humour

    In case you were hoping for “You’re Pitiful” to be included on my “Essentials” collection, sorry, this just in from Blunt’s manager:

    Manager:

    “Thanks for your email, but both James and I will never approve this parody to be released on any label.”

    ain’t twitter grand :?:

    People actually still comment on YT? Oh wait, I forgot about the sheeple, A.Js, and the trolls. When will YT introduce filters? Oops I know the answer to that. NEVER! :roll:

    Billy that picture was so close and clear I found myself making out with the computer screen. :lol: I don’t think the bling is what you had in mind when you blew up the photo. ;-) :mrgreen:

    Good one Jack. ;-)

    YouTube had filters the other day for about an hour and people got all pissed off so they removed them.. did you see when they had them? It was funny seeing all the words they were censoring… like sexy, porn.. etc..

    I do think that if a person gets rated down so much each time his comments don’t appear automatically on all posts.. but even that can be abused.. so it might be tough to create a proper filter that doesn’t get abused somehow.

    m.,

    apparently it’s possible to have the same display name more than once. now, if i change my name to “marina”, take your gravatar as my gravatar … that’s gonna be one big mess. is there any way to prevent that?

  • greatestpotential

    It was funny seeing all the words they were censoring… like sexy, porn.. etc..

    It was pretty funny seeing all the words that didn’t get censored too

    No I didn’t the filter system. They only had it for an hour? That’s not a test.

    I’m not totally clear on how this filtering system worked in the past. Knowing YT they probably implemented it backasswards.

    I think it’s up to the individual producer to filter their channel how they see fit. A producer should not have to waste time deleting obscene comments on their channel.

    Also there should be a rating system of youtuber viewers. Just like they have on ebay and other services. If your just a troll then you should be labeled as such and your account band from commenting.

    Yo, Captain Jack! It’s good to see you giving YT the benefit of the doubt.

  • greatestpotential

    Have one fer ya then :arrow: How many YouTubers does it take to change a lightbulb :?:

  • greatestpotential

    well, one person has to check first to make sure the bulb complies to green efficiency standards

    another person makes sure it’s okay with google that there’s enough funding before any lights get replaced

    another person is in charge of making hush to make sure no one is told of the change so it’s a complete surprise and causes an uproar amongst the yt community

    another person who explained how twitter operates is to explain to others how to change a lightbulb

    and the last person finally realizes that it’s not a bulb that needs changed it’s a tube

    … a little too much information Cappy :shock:
    I did not blow up the pic. It is as it appears on the twitpic site. If you click on the “view full size” button above pic you see the pic’s original size. That pic is unlike a lot of the pics that are taken with her “cracker jack box prize” iphone thingy.
    That necklace is cool & if those little stones are real, worth a pretty penny. I’m quite surprised that I didn’t see anybody comment on it… but then, should I be surprised?

    I have been making (and moderating) comments for so long the lol, 1st, no way & “quote speeches” are static. The video is quite funny. I know a place it needs to be. One of John C. Dvorak’s pages. No way, lol, poser…..
    Happy Apollo 11 week HotForWords. Thanks for laugh I needed one.

    Another video from CollegeHumor Originals – We Didn’t Start the Flame War (a parody of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” song) also contains the whole truth about the users comments. And might be even funnier, I think (but warning: explicit language is in it).
