YouTube Tuesday

Before I follow up on a few things, it's that time again. Sort of. First, England's indifferent performance on Saturday meant that many were despondent, inconsolable, and typically irate as they called in to Five Live's 606. Almost to the point of farce, Alan Green pursued his ongoing campaign of ensuring that his name is never mentioned alongside anything that may appear even slightly contentious. One good thing came out of the spectacle, however, and it was this gem from god-knows-who. Second, my favorite video at the moment, one that I like to enjoy on looped playback, is this. A black reporter working for Fox News in Texas overreacts rather brilliantly to a fly swooping into his mouth. All those painstaking hours of perfecting a semblance to Received Pronunciation are banished, replaced by the choirs of the ghetto. Lastly, here's a video that I posted myself, disappointed that no other uploader had valued the entire exchange. It's from The Thick Of It, a British masterclass in comedy. The context required for this video is that Glenn's son has learning difficulties. Enjoy.
