When browsing videos on any site you will find several different kinds, including music videos, comedic, spoof, and magic tricks.

1. The experimental videos - Will it Blend- iPod
Experimental videos include tricks with magnets, mentos and soda, and science fair projects. Some of the more interesting involve destroying things in new and interesting ways, which is where "Will it Blend" comes in.

In these videos various objects are put in an industrial blender and ground up. The iPod has to be my favorite. If you could stick a whole computer in the blender I am sure he would. Who wouldn't want to destroy their PC from time to time? But an iPod will have to do.

Other items, like Barbie dolls, and glow sticks, produce various interesting affects, so be sure to watch more of them.

2. Spoof Musicals - The Internet is for Porn
Some music just begs to be made fun of, hence Weird Al, or Ray Stevens. Of course these spoofs need their own music videos, and a place to watch them.

This music video spoof features video clips from Guild Wars, a MMORPG. No porn involved, just a very funny song to which the characters from Guild Wars seem to be singing.

The original song comes from a Broadway musical called "Avenue Q" which features Sesame Street styled puppets singing about more adult styled content. This particular song has been seen online in various forms with several different games and flash images set to the music.

3. Fake Commercials - Family Survival Kit
Commercials thrive on You Tube, from many countries, in many languages. There are also the fake commercials, which have taken on a life of their own on many video sites. One of the best is the Family Survival Kit. Well made, with a few items I'd love to have for my personal collection, including the sleepy time brat darts.

You Tube auto plays videos, but you can expend them to full screen if desired.
