Below are some of my favorite views on YouTube.com. This should give you a little insight into my interests and slightly warped sense of humor.

(Note 1: Some of the sites are favorites of my daughters, and I have them here to easily link to)

(Note 2: links often disappear without notice, so I may have a dead link listed for a short time)

Click and enjoy!

Title Description

Elric of Melnibone

Cover art of Michael Moorcock's novels about Elric. The background music is "Veteran of a Thousand Psychic Wars", which Moorcock helped to write.
Johnny Quest original opener A favorite cartoon from my youth. This is the original opener for it. May give you a little insight as to my interests as a kid and an influence on my imagination and writing.  Maybe you remember it too.

Londo Mollari on Humans (sadly, this brief clip has been removed)

From the Babylon 5 series, this clip features Londo Mollari, Emperor of the Centari Republic, reminiscing on the Earth Minbari war, which the humans started and were trounced. (If you found that interesting, try the Battle of the Line Speech  and "If you value your lives, be somewhere else" by Delen, also).  Finally, Vir Cotto getting what he wants (If you don't know what's coming, it's worth the wait)
SG1 Blooper This blooper clip (Stuck on a glacier with MacGyver) from the Stargate SG1 series features Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) giving Colonel O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) a hard time about his MacGyver acting days.
Raging Rudolph A Mad TV spoof on the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas television special from way back when I was a kid and still showing today.
Miller Lite Weiner Dog Nationals A Miller Lite commercial featuring the combination of a dog show and drag racing.  Okay, I like dachshunds, which makes this even funnier.
Army of Darkness Trailer The original trailer to one of the absolute best B-Movies of all time.  Gotta love Bruce Campbell.

Land of Confusion

This Genesis music video features a great song and, well, the video is just fun to watch too.
Mad TV - Nouns: Public Schools A spoof of School House Rock's song about nouns.
Trunk Monkey These fake commercials are hilarious. If you liked this compilation, try Alien Abduction.
Snoopy vs. The Red Baron A Christmas song which I remember listing to as a kid on an old LP record.
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron Clips of the animated movie, with Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero"--my youngest daughter's favorite YouTube clip.
Various SF Special Effects battle scenes B5: Combat clips removed from Youtube site.
 
SG1: Prometheus over Antarctica clip - a little slow and clipped.
 
Star Trek: Montage of Multiple Space Battles - a little grainy at times but a broad spectrum of Star Trek's combat sequences.
 
Space Above and Beyond: Colonel McQueen vs. Chiggy Von Richthofen - was an okay show. Here Col. McQueen goes up against the most feared alien pilot flying an advanced fighter.
 
Montage of Space Battles from many movies. How many can you correctly identify?
Veggie Tales (Silly Songs, etc.) Was once my older daughter's favorite show, now my younger daughter has taken a fancy to Larry Boy (Larry the Cucumber), Bob the Tomato and all.  Here are a few bits-- Silly Songs with Larry: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, Dance of the Cucumber and Water Buffalo.
Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" A quick pictorial overview of history from 1949 to 1989.
Various Pat and Stanley short clip. My youngest daughter likes these bits: Bathtub Shark and Kiwi (last one's not really Pat & Stanley but an interesting little adventure)
Al Bundy vs. Spare Tire Dixon A clip showing Married with Children's Al Bundy attempting to gain the return of the trophy his efforts won his senior year at Polk High (the only highlight of his life...everything since marriage to Peg that shortly followed has been down hill--steeply down hill).  Bubbs Smith plays 'Spare Tire'
Stephen King vs. J.K. Rowling Celebrity Deathmatch...great stuff.  Okay, I'm a writer...that doesn't diminish the entertainment value (lowbrow as it may be at times).
John Wayne in True Grit, Then and Now Interesting video, showing scenes, buildings and landscapes in both the movie and how it stands today...and of course it includes the climatic shootout, where Rooster Cogburn shows  his 'True Grit'.
