It’s easy to be negative

I realise that. Therefore, in a break from the norm, I have to say I found the video below rather wonderful. Endearing, funny (love the Korean bit), positive and far worthier than some cunt with a camera making people take their clothes off in the freezing cold.

Plus I dig his moves.

    That’s just brilliant. The one in Tonga where he gets hit by the wave (about 2.5 mins in) is hysterical.

  2. RandomNoise says:

    Pretty cool, for some reason I had a big dopey grin on my face all through that.

    It is some quality dancing also.

    Here is his website if you’re interested in his travels…

    Adorable, love the one where all the kids are leaping about.

  5. Dessiegee says:

    Hate to show my age here but is that not the same dance that RTE’s Mike Murphy used to do on his Jacob’s Award winning Comedy show “The Likes of Mike”

    - So nothing original in that video then, maybe if everyone was naked it would be better.

  6. brenjamin says:

    I’m naked right now if that helps?

  7. Jo says:

    Oh, god, Twenty, that’s gorgeous.

    For some reason I got all misty after it started, and then the first time the people ran in it made me cry and I watched the rest of it in tears!

  8. SAm Crea says:

    I cant believe I actually sat through 4 and a half minutes… I was waiting for the punchline… I thought.. Major hasnt gone all gay, and starting posting uplifting videos about dancing about the place in different countries.. something funny is going to happen.. surely he is going to get squashed by a big elephant any second now…

    Did I get the right link? Was that just four and a half minutes of some prick doing a very bad dance move???

    Whatever happened to the unabated cynicism??

  9. Dessiegee says:

    But are you doing the Mike Murphy Dance whilst naked?

  10. Martin says:

    Here’s the unabated cynicism:

    Cunt must be rich. I’d like to dance on his fucking neck…

  11. RandomNoise says:

    Dunno about the value of unabated cynacism SAm, I used to be all about it, and then I started wondering if I was just preteding to be cynical in order to look cool.

    Basicly, I was so cynical that i was even cynical about my cynicism.

  12. SAm Crea says:

    Thanks Martin and Random, got my fix, now keep it coming…

  13. Dessiegee says:

    dont think he’s rich – think he started this as a student on a backpackers cheapo world tour – It was never intended to be art but somehow caught on.

  14. maggot says:

    I prefer the original, Twenty’s Poo tour.

  15. brenjamin says:

    But are you doing the Mike Murphy Dance whilst naked?

    No, I’m doing the Ted Rogers 3-2-1 finger thingy.

  16. Dessiegee says:

    are you doing the 3-2-1 finger thingy with a suppository?

  17. SAm Crea says:

    Brenjamin have you spent the weekend watching Bottom videos on you tube??

  18. Dessiegee says:

    It’s worth reading Matts Bio on his website – he is one jammy Bastard, good luck to him

  19. brenjamin says:

    Brenjamin have you spent the weekend watching Bottom videos on you tube??

    I wish I had the time! I do own every episode and live Bottom show on DVD, so I have in the past spent a full weekends watching the lads get in and out of scrapes with hilarious outcomes.

  20. SAm Crea says:

    Just got a flash from deep within my subconscious of Rick Mayal, with his yellowed undies up to his tits, going

    3-2-1

    And saying he’d like to shag Ted rogers…

    I dont even know who Ted rogers is…

  21. roosta says:

    i like that lots

  22. brenjamin says:

    Classic episode Sam.

  23. Dessiegee says:

    Ted Rogers is 70′s/80′s commedian who hosted a Saturday night gameshow called 3-2-1. He was about as funny as a dead baby. The show was as bizzare as you can get with a bin as a booby prize. I think it may have been voted worst game show of all time.

  24. brenjamin says:

    Dusty Bin was like a father to me!

  25. Dessiegee says:

    Brenjamin – By any chance are you a Freegan, Have you met Fred, he loves bins too.

  26. Holemaster says:

    Twenty you bastard I’m all lump in the throat after that, I had to head to the jacks before a meeting.

    Madagascar or any of the ones with kids are fucking hilarious

    Humans are fucking cool, I wish I was one.

  27. brenjamin says:

    No no, not a freegan.

  28. Green Ink says:

    I hope he offset his carbon footprint, the cunt.

  29. Holemaster says:

    He’s been to Bhutan! I want to go there and see their Gross National Happiness in operation. The King has four wives so I’d say he’s making up for any downside in the general population.

  30. maggot says:

    As we are not being negative today, what is the reaction to Amy Winehouse’s illness ? (link )

  31. roryjohn says:

    Hey, Twenty – was that you leppin about in the Paris bit? I think we should be told …

  32. Conan Drumm says:

    Excellent. It’s got Lemurs, what more can I say.

  33. Dessiegee says:

    Give me your common street junkie any day with their sob stories to these monied celebrity cunts whining about their problems.

    I think she thinks she’ll lose all credibility if she actually goes to Rehab and deals with her problems.

  34. Twenty Major says:

    The Paris bloke was cool – he looks like the fakir from the Tintin books.

  35. Sid Trotter says:

    The Irish ones – meet Mr and Mrs ugly and their tribe

  36. Tinman18 says:

    If you go to his site – brenjamin gives the link in comment 3 – there’s a section called Dancing Outtakes.
    It’s really funny, though the first one is not for people who don’t like heights.

  37. Medbh says:

    I saw that dude on morning television over here some months back. He seems really innocent and enthusiastic, just as you would guess from him busting that move.

  38. Holemaster says:

    There’s a suicide bomber version of this video. Only made it to one city so far though.

  39. Jo says:

    That fakir was well sinister.

    Holemaster, tsk tsk, what happened to your lump?
    Don’t answer that.

    I forgot about the lemurs. Lemurs rock.

  40. Jo says:

    So, bets on – will Amy Whinehouse stop smoking? Hmmm…

  41. SAm Crea says:

    Damn you Major,

    I just watched this video again, without the comedic expectation, and guess what…

    I liked it..

    I think I really like it…

    DAMNATION!

    Especially like that he doesnt insist on putting himself in the middle of every shot and justs Blends in, in a ‘Where’s Wally’ type of way..

    Of course I’ll deny it if anybody real ever asks me about it.. Got to keep up appearances you know..

    Now say nothing.

  42. Dessiegee says:

    Jo – If she sticks to the ciggies she will more then likely be ok. It’s the crack/smack shit she has to stop immediately.

    Mind you at this stage I just wish she’d fuck off and do a Katie and die or an Iggy and get over herself. I’m sick of looking at her skanking it up in the papers.

  43. Jo says:

    Yep. Though emphysema is the smokers’ disease, isn’t it? When you drown in your own lung fluid. Nice.

    I wish she’s stop singing other people’s songs badly too. I liked Rehab, it seemed original, but all her standard soul stuff is so derivative, and I think she did a crap, crap job of ‘Valerie’.

    Mind you, I saw the Zutons on that Liverpool concert with Paul Mc C and yer man had pupils like pinpoints, his face was fixed in a scary snarl and he looked paranoid to fuck, so they didn’t do such a good job of it either.

  44. Dundalk Man says:

    The crazy looking blonde in the Dublin piece,
    Looks like Twenty’s Mot (or how I would percieve Twenty’s Bird to look like)

  45. Monkey Balls says:

    I was thinking exactly the same thing Dundalk Man!

    It’s a wonderful video. Restored my faith in Human Spasticity.

    Showed it to a mate though, and he left halfway through! (???)

  46. Dessiegee says:

    I’m not really a jazz fan and it’s all been done before by billie holiday and countless others – the jazz and the smack that is.

    I’m really beyond caring though, I’ve been through the “being understanding and supportive” with junkies and alcoholics. They’re all the fuckin same get over it, get on with it. The cure is in your hands so stop annoying me with your bullshit,

  47. SAm Crea says:

    Normal service has resumed I see…

  48. Jo says:

    I liked the outtakes too. The captions were funny. Did you notice he says ‘Why yes. yes I can.’ Like Twenty. Not that he has a monopoly on it or anything, I know.
    I wonder are there lots of spin offs?
    My husband has a few photos with Ernie and Bert puppets from his early twenties holidays that remind me of this a little. But that’s more like Des and the garden gnome in Coronation St.

  49. Monkey Balls says:

    This Winehouse cunt- How come everyone seems to have a soft-spot for her?
    It’s all “I don’t like the way she……………,but I did like……………….”

    She’s a cunt. Class A. And her music’s shite. And she always looked like a dog.

    Not only that, but the only person I ever met who said he liked her, he was a cunt too.

  50. brenjamin says:

    The crazy looking blonde in the Dublin piece,
    Looks like Twenty’s Mot (or how I would percieve Twenty’s Bird to look like)

    I thought that was Brendan Kilkenny.

  51. Monkey Balls says:

    I should’ve mentioned this, but the (fan) cunt I refer to in my last post has a brother who’s quite big on the Irish Acoustic Singer/Songwriter circuit.

    Not naming names or anything. It wouldn’t be PC*.

    *(that’s a hint!)

  52. brenjamin says:

    It’s never Prince Charles is it?

  53. Sid Trotter says:

    Monkey Balls are you referring to the legendary

    Private Cunt and the cuntabillys?

  54. Monkey Balls says:

    Damn! I made it too easy.

  55. Jo says:

    Good Lord, what a thought.

  56. Jo says:

    Prince Charles as singer singwriter I mean. That would be some tweedy folk music indeed

  57. Monkey Balls says:

    Actually, now that I think about it, this fella has a band and backing singers. -And an Acoustic Guitar.

  58. Monkey Balls says:

    Here’s another clue;
    _addy _asey.

  59. Jo says:

    Wow, MB knows Paddy Casey’s brother.

  60. Monkey Balls says:

    I know his sister much better!

  61. Anto says:

    I have read that George Carlin has died and that he did a sketch in the 1970s of the seven words you can never use on (american) television. Anyone know what they are?

    I assume cunt is one of them….but I’m fascinated by what the other 6 are..

  62. Monkey Balls says:

    She’s a total nutcase, but not in a good way.

    The most annoying thing about both of them is that any conversation, and I mean any conversation, always , and I mean always has a reference to ol’ PC within the first two or three minutes.

    It’s like a game, trying to have a conversation in the pub about topics they absolutely couldn’t squeeze him into, and yet they do. Always.

  63. porridge says:

    shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTyzTJTNhNk

  64. Dessiegee says:

    I was under the impression that Paddy Casey was a certain bishops bastard son and now I hear that theres also a daughter. How come this never hit the papers at the time. Do bastard daughters not count.

  65. Monkey Balls says:

    And the brother, who look’s like he was the model for the Twenty’s picture.

  66. Monkey Balls says:

    That would be the picture of Twenty.

  67. Monkey Balls says:

    Any truth in this Bishop Casey link?
    I wasn’t aware of it, but if it’s there I’ll investigate further.

  68. Holemaster says:

    Anytime I’m pissed off I’m going to watch that video.

    I’m going to watch that video now.

  69. Holemaster says:

    YAY. I feel great now.

  70. Dessiegee says:

    Dunno if it’s true but I believed it at the time.

    Then again I believed the EU was to be trusted untill Jim Corr put me right about the Freemasons running everything.

    Mind you I also believed bertie when he said “I won it on da horses”

  71. Anto says:

    Thanks boys. I think the wiki example of the use of the word cunt is particularly good – She has a rancid cunt.

    I would have thought there would have been more racist words personally.

  72. Holemaster says:

    I’m going to watch that video now.

  73. RandomNoise says:

    On the wikpedia Seven Words examples, I’m loving “shave that hairy twat!!!”", he he he twat.

    On Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson did more that she did to make here a star, and she is pissing it away all on her own. Emphysema is characterised by the destruction of the walls between alveoli in your lungs, leading to a loss of gas exchange surface area.

    And by “your”, I mean whoever is reading this.
    Whu-hahahahahahahaha.

  74. RandomNoise says:

    Wow this place really does fucking empty at five, so I suppose I’ll go too.

  75. Loco Lobo says:

    As I watched the video I noticed that Dublin was all wet while London was sunny. Does the sun miss Ireland on purpose?

  76. Twenty Major says:

    Yes. It only appears fleetingly to tease us

  77. porridge says:

    think writer had the idea for this film while on holidays in ireland

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195517/plotsummary

  78. porridge says:

  79. Holemaster says:

    “As I watched the video I noticed that Dublin was all wet while London was sunny. Does the sun miss Ireland on purpose?”

    Yep according to the BBC weather, Ireland is always about three degrees less than it is on RTE. So I follow RTE weather all the time.

  80. porridge says:

    in general, the only difference between the irish summer and winter is how warm the rain is.

    best weather report ever heard was on 2fm at 4 in the morning: as the day goes on, it’s going to get brighter. and it did, especially when the sun came up.

  81. SAm Crea says:

    I often wonder why we dont hire some nice Spanish Weather Forecasters, they seem to have a much more positive outlook than our own crowd…

  82. Jo says:

    Scorchio!

  83. Holemaster says:

    Heh, I really these ones, “The persistent heavy rain will gradually ease giving way to showery conditions and becoming more localised” (followed by a wink from that nice fella”

    “On all coasts including the Irish Sea”

    And I’m dying to know where Buoy M5 is.

  84. maggot says:

    Always blue skies in NI!

  85. noddy says:

    Tell you one thing.
    Dancing boy don’t give a fuck about his carbon footprint.
    Pah! Feelgood humbug shite.
    Twenty M You going midlife or something?

  86. Tinman18 says:

    Interesting that the word “piss” is used all the time in US TV shows now. In another 30 years how many of the others will be in common usage?

    Just got home & showed the Matt clip to the kids – they all loved it, even Cynical Teenage Grunting Dude

  87. Twenty Major says:

    The thing I like most about it is that he doesn’t give a fuck about his carbon footprint because carbon footprtints are for cunts.

  88. flirty says:

    are we seeing a soft side?

  89. noddy says:

    Good comment.
    Going on to light a bonna in the park with the kids.
    Carbon footprint me hoop.
    Now wheres the dutch gold?

  90. Alan Smithee says:

    Thanks for that Twenty. Really enjoyed it. (I danced in the fountains in Atlanta before he did, but I was drunk.)

  91. Twenty Major says:

    I always have a soft side. Usually it’s my arse though.

  92. I love shit like that.

    Nice one.

  93. maggot says:

    Usually it’s my arse though.

    Steady on Twenty – you’ll have Johnny5 stalking you next!

  94. maggot says:

    Curse those good looks – and soft arse -you were born with !

  95. Twenty Major says:

    It would churlish of me to complain too much.

  96. Jo says:

    Is it girlishly soft? Are there curves?

  97. maggot says:

    a bit of plucking round the orifice to disourage winnits is sensible.

  98. Jo says:

    I take it you’ve never had a back, sack and crack wax then, Twenty.

    How much would you have to be paid?

  99. Twenty Major says:

    Why would anyone want to do that to themselves?

  100. Jo says:

    It does seem masochistic. I know a girl who made her husband get one for their wedding… I was vaguely appalled by that.

  101. Twenty Major says:

    He should have left her standing at the altar.

  102. Jo says:

    Or just not got it done, that would have been less drastic. Though maybe I’m doing her a disservice and it was just a back wax.

    I have to say, the husband is getting hairier with each passing year – he used to have just a hairy chest, but now it’s growing up and meeting the back hair, like a sort of hair vest.

    Still, pregnancy does women no hormonal favours either. It’s a cruel and pointless development, the growth of unnecessary hair.

  103. noddy says:

    The thought of having the hairs torn off yer hole and sac for the body astetic.Only if you were into nudie art with loads of similarly minded saddos as described here a few days ago.
    What was that stuff that melts the hair off your legs called again Jo?

  104. noddy says:

    He should have left her standing at the altar.

    Standing in what?For making such an unreasonable request.

  105. Darragh says:

    Matt Harding is a personal hero of mine. I got the invitation to dance in the video last June in Dublin and missed it because of reading the email wring. Biggest regret of 2007 :(
