Remember when everyone was Memed and we all had to tell everyone five things people wouldn't know about us? Well I've always wanted to get to "know" people by some of their favorite things.
Earlier today, CJ posted a Tutorial on How to Embed a YouTube on your Active Rain blog for me. I'm a big fan of YouTube and so only needed the end of it and now I'm going to give it a try.
Here's one of my Favorite You Tube Videos. In true Meme style, I should post 5 of them. But let's give one a shot for now.
I LOVE YouTube because there are some movie scenes I love so much that I tend to watch the entire movie over and over again. With YouTube I can watch the specific scene in the movie anytime I want, without having to see the entire movie over and over again.
Scent of a woman - Al Pacino - Blind discharged officer - Tango Scene - in contemplation of committing suicide, Pacino is having a jam packed weekend in NY cramming in many of his favorite things, or at least those he can still do as a blind man. The young man is his hired escort for the weekend. The woman is a perfect stranger to both of them. ENJOY!!!

I have no idea why this is my favorite. My husband is in the Navy but never ever stationed on a ship like this. I guess it was just seeing other sailors doing something funny when he was deployed to Iraq that helped me get thru that tough time. When I shared it with him he was like - "Don't let anyone see that"!!! lol!!! Not like a trillion people hadn't already!!! lol!!! He is one sailor with many Marines and well they really give him crap on this one!!!

My favorite youtube (today) is anything in the "dramatic chipmunk" search on the site. For example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=54vtXRI32MQ
What a wonderful movie! Good recommendation...
Ardell,
You are such a sweetie. For the past year I have read your hard hitting posts which tend to hold nothing back. This is such a nice balance tor you. I will have to come back to you with my favorite Youtube as there have been so many.
Here are a few. Certainly one has to be the Phillipine prisoners and their Thriller routine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o and certainly the Where the Hell is Matt Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNF_P281Uu4 Of course who could forget the Chimps version of River Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx2vGGXRKl8 I could not seem to find the Video that I really liked. Perhaps one day I will stumble on it as well. If so I will send you the link.
Jo! Thanks for that! You gotta love those guys...
Chris...I don't know what to say about that one. Luckily I can't talk today. Laryngitis.
Yay!!! Great movie, too....
Hi Ardell and what a great concept for a post, definitely could be as popular as the memes. My contribution would be The Evolution Of Dance, original, fun & entertaining. Have a great 2008!
Herb, that first one is amazing! Was it really done at a prison? Haven't gotten through the other two yet.
Marti,
I saw that a long time ago, but forgot about it. Thanks for brining it back! Truth be told, almost all of my favorite YouTube Videos involve dancing. I think I play the final dance from every dance movie. Flasdance, Center Stage, etc... In fact I asked for Fame, Flasdance and Footloose for Christmas.
Herb,
Seattle's Troll made it! WOW!
I was a little confused till I got to the third one, which is the chimps. Kept looking for chimps in Matt's video :) Thanks! I enjoyed them all.
Ardell, The prison video has been featured on many newscast for the past few weeks or so including CNN. The One I was looking for is of two guys who dances in the street during oncoming traffic and in Hamburger joints etc. It is just hillarious as most of the places they dance people just do not know what to take of them.
Ok - I did it: http://activerain.com/blogsview/321142/Moving-Post-Your-Favorite
I hope you like it:)
Thanks for the new tips!
I love this post and it's fun to check out these videos. I'm still trying to remember how to insert a video, so I'm going to check out the link you included that helped you, Ardell.
Herb - I love those videos, and the chimps doing the river dance is a hoot!
Marti - I'd not seen the evolution of dance before. I watched it twice before commenting here - love that one!!
This was fun!

Jeff, that is way funny - My youngest son said it that way too - bad thing was - his Dad is a firefighter and so you can only imagine when he was two and taking him to the station :)
TURNER!!! That is Hysterical!!
We knew my sister had dyslexia when she kept saying "CUFF YOU" LOL! Took us a few days though. We couldn't believe that's what she meant.
