Are you sure you have the right clip here? Based on your tags I assume you meant it to be http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lfwycQ5e1iY one?

And ensure you have a klaxon constantly wailing from somewhere in your clothes
And have a blinding revolving light strapped to your head
And be armed with a semi-automatic handgun in case you are set upon by banshees or werewolves.
And perhaps don't go out at all but just yell 'trick or treat' from your doorstep.
Actually that might carry the risk of being shot from afar, so do it from inside... via a megaphone
And then if you do get any candy, well, don't eat that it might be poisoned.
In fact what the hell are you doing up so late anyway, get back to bed.

It's funny... he's playing the whole thing very nicely, that had to have been before the clip of him in SNL, because, well, he's talking about as if he hadn't seen Andy yet.
It's all just a cross promotion in joke.
And it's quite funny now that he's in on it, because the original sketch was terrible, but maybe that was the whole idea.

If the meaning of upvote and downvote were to be defined by the FAQ, I'd gladly comply; I'm all for working in a system. But, as it stands, it's left up to each of us to interpret them for ourselves.
I try to vote on every video I watch. Only if I really just don't know what to make of a video do I not vote, or if I feel somehow conflicted about it.
If I find value in the video, I upvote. If I don't, I downvote. Pretty cut-and-dry for me. I feel people are too concerned with getting videos published, any videos, rather than getting good videos published. I don't think it should be easier to get something published. If anything, I'd like to see it made more difficult.
In reply to this comment by spoco2:
See, I see things a little differently.
We have
Upvote: You think it's a great video, worthy of moving up higher on the site
No Vote: You don't like the video, or it left you 'meh', or you just thought it was pretty lame... you don't feel it particularly worthy to go any further.
DownVote: You really believe this video has no place on the sift, either it's horribly offensive, racist/bigoted, in really bad taste, is full on propaganda with no truth to it etc.
I really see the downvote as being reserved for those really bad videos. If you just don't like something then don't upvote it for god's sake, it's hard enough to get published around here let alone with people making life harder by downvoting for no real good reason.

Brilliant. And so, so true.
Palin trying to make talking about the past be a no-go area was just shameful. It sorely showed how poor the Republican ticket is going when they have to try to pretend that everything the Republicans have done doesn't really exist, have to pretend that learning from mistakes doesn't make sense, how knowing your history can help you in the future.
They are a team of blinkered no hopers. It amuses me that republican supporters try on the 'Obama is just selling hope with no substance'... Where the Obama/Biden team are more than willing to talk about the actual issues, whereas the McCain/Palin team are a team actually selling 'fear with no substance'.
Please Right Wingers, even in your right wing allegiance, surely you can see how this particular ticket is selling snake oil? Surely you can see that?
No?
You can't?

No dandelion petal unfortunately, but each course will only be a few bites.
Then again, it is 12 courses, not just 3 or 4

Sorry, have to downvote. It was a reflex reaction when they showed mcdonalds with fine dining over it. Want to see american fine dining? Try Alinea or MOTO or The French Laundry, or WD-50, or any of a hundred different places. America actually does have a cuisine. STFU. Fucking big mac. Argh.
I just watched the Alinea video, and while I'm sure the food is delicious, I HATE that form of cuisine...
"Here is your main meal sir"
"Where?"
"There sir, on the plate"
"I can see a flower petal on a stick"
"Yes sir, that is your meal, a dandelion petal infused with Yak butter broth, perched delicately atop a reduction of baby seal flipper, drizzled with aioli and ground camel hoof."
"Well, that sounds great, but I think I'll eat that in, erm, one, maybe two mouthfuls"
"Ahh, but of course, you just need to order another 18 courses sir"
"This one cost me $45 on its own!"
"Is sir a cheapskate?"
"No, but I do need to pay the bills"
"I scoff at you sir... scoff"
Really, a complete wank... I enjoy good food, I enjoy food with great presentation, but I can NEVER come at food where the portion sizes are so insanely small that even after a 3 or 4 course meal you're left empty. I don't suggest just going to a steakhouse and getting the largest damn slab o' meat you can, but come on, I go out to EAT not to sample.

Yeah, same issue with the control bar... no worky.
Still, some great clips, although some of them are woefully low res

That was friggen awesome.
And I totally agree, the English language is dum.
But it also irritates the living shite out of me when people can't spell or use punctuation properly.
(How hard is it to learn their/there/they're and your/you're ?)

That truly is the lowest of tactics for trying to gather votes... truly pathetic.
And SO MANY PEOPLE WILL BUY IT.
It sickens me that so many people are such mindless puppets that they can be so easily maneuvered using such BLATENT bullshit as this, I mean, completely and utterly avoiding REAL issues, and pretending that everyone will be enslaved or killed if you don't vote for McCain, well, that's a big f*cking load of *lies right there.
Disgusting.
Really... disgusting.

See, my issue with this video?
She's saying she's hot.
I mean, she is hot, very cute... BUT doesn't it smack, just slightly, of being very full of yourself to assume that everyone thinks so? People who think they're hot, and think that everyone else thinks they are, are kinda a turnoff...
But yeah.
She is hot. Dammit.

"Sometimes food is hot"
"You asshole, I've been working on that account for months"
Brilliant... and insane!
