Nifty videos!

This first one confuses me and makes me laugh. Various Lost cast members saying "Mmmm, cake". Why are they doing it? I have no idea!

Second one is an advertisement from a UK publishing group. Do not stop watching because it's "boring"! The payoff comes at the halfway point, and you need to watch until then -- don't just skip ahead! It's really cool and made me smile.

According to the comments on YouTube, it's for a TV channel in Australia called Cake. I must say that Michael Emerson's scene was the best.

What? Of course I'm totally hetero. Why do you ask? :P

The second video was being awesome, and then it said Bradygames. =(

We'll ignore that part. =D

I think my favorite is Michael Emerson's xD.

So I'm told!

Oooh, that makes sense! And I should have followed the link to check comments!

I agree with you, his was the best of the group!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Heh! :D

Agreed! Both of the women ones were really cute, but I liked his best.

[pure-trance.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's what I thought too :).

The second video seems to be a ripoff of another video called Lost Generation, which I'd already seen, so the moment I saw the scrolling text I knew what was coming. Here's a link with the story:

Which in turn is a riff off another political ad it seems. Incidentally, the piano theme used in the latter half of the Argentinian ad was used in Amelie, which is an awesome movie if you haven't seen it yet. :)

Huh! Folks need to be more original...
