Video Round-Up: Not Funny Edition

Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.

In this week's Round-Up, we have some good ol' comedy, some viral music, and Dutch vuvuzelas. Yes, I know, I didn't expect that last one either. And also: more!



Of the many episodes of Between Two Ferns that Zach Galifianakis made for Funny Or Die, this is my favorite. Regardless of how we feel about Stiller and his "fucking movies," the acting is good. And, as an aside: I know that Zach Galifianakis is famous, but dammit, he should be famouser.



Jonathan Mann has written a song every day for, oh, many, many, many days in a row now. This one we like especially.



OK. Dutch. It is one of the craziest languages I've ever heard. It's awesome. But the real purpose of this video is to learn how to play possibly one of the most intentionally annoying instruments ever created. Tip: check out the soccer ball icon on YouTube's player for more.



I rediscovered this video recently while perusing the 'Tube. I used to watch it and a collection of other videos that feature impressive solo guitarists (e.g. Andy McKee). This one, from guitarist Dominic Frasca, shows off one man's ability to syncopate with two hands and create some amazing music.

Oh man, that guitarist should get together with Jean Baudin and form a band. They'd be crazy.

I hereby declare that to be too many strings!
