I'm trying very hard not to laugh out loud at work. There's a group of people who make "comment reconstruction" videos. For example, this one below. Two teenage girls were having an argument in Youtube's comments over the lead singer of One Direction, and that argument was reenacted by two actors in a serious, dramatic way.



The actors make the whole idea work. In the one made from comments on a fireman saving a kitten video, their expressions (and the spammer) kill me.

This might not be an original idea (there was a series of TV commercials using this same idea), but it's still funny as heck.

There are nine videos total, which you can find on their main page.

Edit: While I'm posting about videos, Ask a Slave has a second season up!

Those are really good! Love the background sounds, thunder and classical music.

Yes! And the music in the second? third? one (the one comment on the song getting someone through dark times) was so lovely.

I think #8 is the best so far. These actors are amazing! #8 was so intense!

That was the funniest thing that I've seen in a loooong time. Thanks for that.

Where do you find all of these things?! You seem to have some of the best quality "here's a cool/awesome/weird thing I stumbled across on the internet" posts.

This one was just a lucky find! Someone linked it in a comment chain in [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets. I'm glad you liked it. :D

Thanks! Hopefully the Drama is all done now.

And they're all great! I'd highly suggest watching the other five!
