Lulzworthy video time!

But first, a warning: I am currently baking something. You lot have about an hour to run away as fast as you can- and I'm being (kind of) serious here, I've already come close to causing a fire. And now, for videos in which:

Lol I get some of whatever you're baking!

[the_gabih]

You might yet, actually. I'm thinking of offering up some goodies at some point over the holidays, so stay tuned!

(That is, if I've not burned something essential by then, like the oven, or my house.)

What is with America not being able to get BBC programming... now even on YouTube? What a big joke?!

Sorry... rant's over.

Please be sending me some of those yummy, crunchy (what's a little burnt edges) sweets my way :D

[the_gabih]

It is annoying, isn't it? I mean, I know you don't pay license fees over there, but to stop you getting YouTube as well? That's just rubbish.

Ranting is als gut- tis half the reason us lot are here, after all. ^^

I shall! It was a clementine cake I was baking today though, but I'll be sure to send you over the chocolate-coated orangey sweets I'm doing this week when they're done. :)

Here's the video without BBC restrictions:

HAHA! I laughed out loud watching those videos. Very loud. Except for the second one because I'm in America and it says BBC has blocked it in my country. Boo.

Anyway, George Takei is ridiculously awesome. "...one day, when you least expect it, I will have sex with you". Oh my God, I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. The others were awesome, too. That Mock The Week... is that a TV show?

[the_gabih]

Bleh BBC YouTube. It's more than a bit rubbish, though I think they've put most of their older stuff up under their 'Worldwide' Channel, so it's not all bad.

The guys off Star Trek are all awesome, I swear- between Takei doing that and Shatner shooting down a high-profile right-wing guy (I forget his name) on his show over the topic of healthcare reform, I feel quite proud to know that my childhood heroes are actually rather heroic in rl too.

And yes, Mock the Week is a BBC show in which the guys on the panel send up the week's news in a cloud of lulz. Some of it's less news-y though, but it's all great fun. Most of the clips of it online aren't UK-restricted, and I'd recommend you go have a look- I think you'd like it. When it's on, it's often how I get most of my news. (Yeah, I make for a great Politics student, ne?)

[six_demon_bag]

Yes, I've been noticing that about the Start Trek cast, too. Very cool.

Awesome, I'll definitely be looking up more Mock The Week vids and there's nothing wrong with getting your news that way! That's still more news than a lot of people bother to watch/read. Me for one. I never liked watching the news because it's so dull and grim most of the time, but something like this, while I understand it's not all serious, spices it up and even presents it with a more open mind while making it very entertaining at the same time.

And here you go- a slightly worse quality version of the video, but at least one that can be seen outside the UK:
