Yes, this video is so epic and wonderful, it deserves it's own thread:
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and Taylor Hicks perform Rebecca Black's FridayAnd it is for charity!

The charity they raising money for is called
Donor's ChooseFor a minimum of $10, you can choose a classroom project from around the country. It's pretty cool.

Double post, but if you watch the video through, you'll see a guy in a white headband holding up a QR code at the end during the big group dance finale.
If you have a smart phone that can read a QR code, it takes you to this video:

Did anyone notice that the ad that's currently in the front of that particular Hulu video has SOVAL (Gary Graham) in it???

Yes! I did notice that, but I didn't know if others would see it!

I love it -- both the ad and the clip!

I've lost track of how many times I've watched the video, but one thing that I love is how much fun the cheerleaders appear to be having at the end, especially when they are clapping along in the finale. Most of the time, professional sports cheerleaders have these frozen, artificial grins plastered on their faces, but in this video the smiles are really genuine, they are having fun being in on the joke and just enjoying themselves.
And apparently, the yeti and the beekeeper regularly appear on the Jimmy Fallon show to throw t-shirts to the audience.

One of the funniest conversations I've ever had was with my friend who has never been to a professional sporting event. Ever. In her life. She knows nothing about sports. I tried to explain to her what a t-shirt canon was - and she just kept asking "why"?
There is no why sometimes.
