This Week's Top Three Weirdest Viral Videos

This week, I came across three particularly outrageous and strange videos while poking around on the internet.

I decided to bring these three highly unique video clips together on my blog.

The three clips depict some of worst qualities in humans: senile aggression, gluttonous objectification, and unwanted creepiness, respectively.

Let's take a look.

3. Epic Beard Man, Thomas Bruso

So Thomas Bruso, aka Slick Tom, Aka Vietnam Tom, Aka Epic Beard Man, is an infamous character in the San Francisco area for being videotaped while partaking in crazily aggressive actions.

For example, he was seen beating the hell out of a tough-looking black guy on a bus.

He was obviously whylin. This video defined Thomas as the old, violent and bad-fucking-ass man his shirt describes him as.

The clip also spawned the term "amber lamps," which is hilarious. Think about it. Amber lamps.

Thomas was also videotaped being tased at an Oakland A's baseball game for sitting in the wrong seat, being drunk and belligerent and eventually resisting the police. Apparently when this video hit the internet it created grief for the Oakland Police Department for their "excessive use of force." I dunno, he is Epic Beard Man.

2. "Keep It Goin' Louder" video by Major Lazer

This video is really hard to explain. I'll start by saying I discovered it on my Birthright Israel trip leader's Facebook page, where he had posted it with no description. I'll give you the same courtesy.

Still with me? A little turned on? Feeling sexy? I fucking love this video. I can't tell if it's demeaning to woman or empowering. It's just super fucking weird.

I like Major Lazer and I think his song "Pon de Floor" is way better than this song. This song, sans the video, is nothing extraordinary. But the video is just.... I have no words.

1. Max Headroom Broadcast Signal Intrusion Incident Video

I found this a few nights ago. As I started to watch, I called my roommate in so she could see it too. Then we were both transfixed, horrified and creeped out by this 1987 pirate TV broadcast.

This was news to us, since we were both born in '88. I can't even believe this shit. No one has ever figured out who these people were, or caught them. Who the fuck is Max Headroom? Gosh the '80s were awful times.

That's all the weirdness I can handle for one blog post.
