Plug in a search term, and get nonstop videos. Naturally, the first thing I typed was "kittens."

Nothing comes up when I type "gay porn".

Or "boobies" for that matter.

I mean, really, have we sunk so far?

Gave me 405 Not Allowed, then with the next search, it just sits there. The VHX logo is pretty though.

Your "kittens link" works but nothing else seems to.

Just modifying desjardins' kittens link:

I typed Adrian Pasdar, but got a 405 error. Oh cruel world, to promise such wonders only to deny me them!

showmenonstop is borked.

They determined that kittens accounted for 95% of use cases and that it wasn't worth special-casing everything else.

Doesn't seem borked to me. Maybe I'm using ... reasonable search terms?

I did #beatles and #maru and #nyan.

I tried #notkittens and it stood there confused.

#dinosaurs works.

(That's the first thing I type into anything.)

"Kittens" just got me a woman talking to me about her "kitty" and things she wants me to do to her "kitty". I'd give her kitty a 2 out of 10. Her kitty appeared to be abused. Her kitty had no teeth, appeared to be tattooed (tattooing cats is legal!?), was growling the whole time. Also, I'm not into hairless breeds. They are creepy.

I just learned about YouTube Instant earlier today. It's not borked, but it's not forever. And you can click other videos on the right side, should the first result not be what you wanted.

Mister Fabulous, sorry about my mom.

Stuff

1. Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff"
2. Many short clips of people doing dumb "Ow! My Balls!"-type stuff and quite possibly getting injured in the process
3. Two electronica DJs in space helmets with huge Mickey Mouse-type ears attached, on a balcony, in a huge room that looks perhaps like a major train station terminal, leading a surprisingly large, densely packed, and enthusiastic crowd in what I assume to be what the whippersnappers today refer to as a "rave", replete with glowsticks and beachballs and roving spotlights and, uh, stuff, which goes on far too long for my tastes leading me to give up before finding out what Stuff #4 is

posted by Flunkie at 4:33 PM on September 16, 2011

Ah, Stuff #3 was apparently Deadmau5, who has an album entitled "Ghosts 'n Stuff".

Riot video. Now we just need a way to mix in a separate audio source.

I typed in black metal and it's working as it should. At least, it's starting with some Mayhem.

Then it goes to Vegan Black Metal Chef. This works great.

It doesn't seem to tell you how long the videos are and it doesn't seem to allow you to skip around in a video, so in that sense it's good for passive viewing.

That "kittens" link gave me this, which is fantastic, but is very much not what I was looking for when I clicked kittens.

#ponies produces extraordinarily mixed results.

butts: some dude with a recipe for Roast Butt Pot Roast.

And then it froze. Great idea: would love to have this playing on my TV at parties.

er, Pork Butt Pot Roast.

#nutshot.

30% chance the video starts with a shot of an outdoor staircase with a railing; 50% chance the video ends with multiple slow-motion replays. 80% chance it involves Break.com.

Enjoy the world of 2505 today.

I misread the URL as "Showmanship", which I think is a better name anyway.

i entered "buttslol" and the site performed admirably

I thought this was cool. I searched "ducks" "math" and "bipolar" in that order for whatever reason and found a cool trailer for a Joseph Gordon Levitt movie...can we keep that kid healthy by the way? He's a great actor.

I asked for 'rampant goat sex'

It gave me... someone reading the first chapter of Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

I typed in "babies" and the first video was of babies. The second video was of, I think, Bob Marley's grandsons' band. Whuh?
