My favorite instruction- “Point your hand over there.”
Priceless.

I watched Let It Be two times yesterday. I woke up today and watched it again. I can't get over how insanely awesome it is.

Is it me or are Spirit Finger Guys hands xtra huge?

i honestly have never seen anyone more ridiculous in my life than that hand model. she can't possibly have any friends…partly because of her personality, but mostly because friends high five all the time and i'm sure she's against that.

The first and last video move me to tears every time I watch them. No lie.

Tom Cruise's perpetually young look has caused me to never think of Top Gun as an old movie. Kelly Mcgillis just corrected that for me.

I thought I might be wasting 5 minutes and 57 seconds of my life when I clicked play on the "Let It Be" song.

I was wrong.

What was the funniest part?

Who can choose?

Tonya Hardin's t-shirt slogan?
The fact that Kathleen Turner didn't even sing a lyric?
The guy whose title was simply "Movie Star"?
Or the realization that Malcolm Jamal Warner looks identical to my oldest brother. Except my brother is white.

That was the most conceited model ever. I mean… Its hands. Get a real job. Oh wait….

Tyler Stanton, this video needs to be on your weekly 6 at some point in time. I'm considering doing a weekly six just so I can share this video. This isn't the original, but the additions are pretty fantastic. [youtube 2We1ooIs2fQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2We1ooIs2fQ youtube]

True story – the “double dream hands” guy is John Jacobson. He would come to my school every year to teach us the choreography for our spring music concert. We never learned the double dream hands though. That must be new. I will surely be practicing it though, just in case I find myself in the middle of a double dream hands flash mob.
