Magic Tree Man: or how not to practice guitar

This is extremely funny.

Warning: if you have any hot drinks nearby, please move them a safe distance from yourself prior to watching, because I can guarantee you'll be pissing yourself laughing, and probably spill all over your laptop:

Have you checked out Star Wars Kid? 

He's awesome.

Nice one @octatonic though a small part of me wonders if it is acceptable to 'mock the aflicted' the greater part says 'enjoy'!

I was making the point that the video you posted is very, very old.

He's come a long way since those days:
