So much of my gray matter is reserved for gems from these videos such as:

"You'll have SO many babies. Four HUNDRED BABIES!"

"What if everything you ever wanted...CAME. IN. A. ROCKET CAN‽"

"YOU'LL FEEL LIKE A JET FIGHTER MADE OF BICEPS! (ZZooOoOOooom!)

"You've had the worst, now try the THIRST...QUENCHER!"

"Wuht abut muh blue collar?" "JUICE SPRINGSTEEN."

"Manana, Fizzbitch, and GUN!"

...okay the entire freaking videos are just, in my brain forever. Lol

A bunch if young Australian guys try a bunch of different salts on french fries. Can't remember the exact title but it's old as fuck. They go down the periodic table column that familiar sodium chloride salt is in and try potassium et cetera until it gets radioactive and unobtainable.

Draw with me. The original is really old, it was taken down and reuploaded. I always saw it so sad and powerful. Still makes me cry.

Kazim Koyuncu - Ella Ella Konser
Love fast paced songs.

Ameno Pro.
The part where they start smoking and onwards is pretty funny college humour.

Sütü seven kamyoncu
It's pretty clever how they made a Turkish song about some milk-loving trucker sound so French.

Between 18-19 years old each.
