The most popular bit from his Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage lesson is probably Men's Brains vs Women's Brains. In that he argues that the reason men and women don't always understand each other is the mysterious Nothing Box.Mark Gungor is an American priest known for his sense of humour and his ability to explain the staggering differences between men and women in simple, yet accurate terms.

I Met the Walrus is a wonderfully animated portrayal of the interview that reaches the psychedelic spheres of The Beatles videos.

Fishing with John (Episode 1)2008-05-26T08:40:00+02:002008-05-26T08:38:00+02:00tag:timoherdfi,2020:timoherdfiselectedvideos.62Fishing with John is a brilliant fishing documentary series by the actor/author/musician John Lurie (Down by Law, Stranger Than Paradise). While John knows absolutely nothing about fishing, he still manages to convince his celebrity friends (Jim Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe, Matt Dillon, Dennis Hopper) to come along on elaborate fishing trips. Cheap production values, hilarious and completely irrational narration, and the unforeseen accidents all combine into one of the funniest documentaries ever made, and a true cult classic.
This is the first episode, in which John takes his pal Jim Jarmusch (director of Broken Flowers, Down By Law, Dead Man fishing for shark. "Jim is on the verge of being pulled in and devoured by the blue shark", says the narrator, as they try to catch the shark with a pistol and a piece of cheese.

Before the release, there were seven peculiar promo videos posted over at YouTube. They feature Cave and his band at a spiritualistic session, and it's painfully obvious that none of them can act..
Part 1: "Lest I Shiver"
Part 2: "Place Your Hands Upon the Table"
Part 3: "Is There Spirits in the Room?"
Part 4: "Place Your Fingers Upon the Blanchette"

However, since the song is so awesome, I won't let such minor technicalities prevent me from posting this.
Patti Smith, often called the "Godmother of punk" or "poet laureate of punk", takes the Nirvana classic Smells Like Teen Spirit and adds her own personal touch. Thus she provides us with an amazingly heart-felt song that shows both respect to Kurt Cobain, and is a masterpiece on its own. Beautiful, yet effective.Technically speaking this one shouldn't even be here, as - although it is on YouTube - it is not a video.
