Friday Videos - Jan 20th, 2017

I wrote a whole thing about Inauguration Day and then deleted it. And then put it back. And then deleted it again. I don't really want to go on about how horrible I feel about the incoming Administration* because I don't think anyone really cares. Those who agree with me, agree with me. Those who don't, never will. So, I'll just throw this out there: Please, look at this. Am I wrong in thinking there is a massive disconnect from reality? Okay, that's it.

I'm posting these Friday videos as a respite from the day. A distraction. Hopefully it works.

• Super Real Mario Odyssey - this GTA mod really makes the real trailer for the new Mario game pretty unsettling.
• Arturo Sandoval - A Night in Tunisia - it's nine minutes long and ebbs and flows between unbearable and unbelievable. Thanks Mike!
• Man Gives His Cat 11,453 Stern Looks - this is so stupid but excellent amusement. Also, it's almost an hour. Excellent.
• Super Sloppy, Semi-Automatic Double Dare! - Billy on the Street goes political with a long, non-street-based, gun control piece featuring physical challenges and Michael-Key! Loved it.
• Advice King - Episode 2 - in which Chris Crofton (the Advice King) gives insight on How to Write An X-Men Movie.
• Young Thug - Wyclef Jean - when your talent doesn't show up for your video shot, make magic. via Austin.
• Alexa says Beef - as an Alexa owner, this really amuses me more than it should.
• Alexa says Beef [ Fixed ] - I died.
• Running Man Trump - okay I couldn't resist at least one downer political video. "Enjoy" this comparison between the incoming Administration and the plot of 1987's Running Man.

Look at this delightful dog! Look at this hilarious slip! Look at these mesmerizing GIFs in Reverse! Listen to Smash Mouth in C!

* To be clear, I am not a sore loser that needs to "get over it" because I'd be fine with a conservative candidate defeating a liberal one. That's how Democracy works. It's this particular candidate winning that is so unsettling. As I mentioned here, I made the mistake of browsing Twitter replies last night and it's unsettlingly vitriolic. There are so many people lashing out and arguing over how Trump will bring our country back together. Let me repeat that - people are lashing out in a confrontational manner about how we're all going to come together under this new President. No sense of empathy. No sense of intelligence or compassion or understanding or even trying.
