I intended to avoid the comments at all costs, but this one caught my eye:
"if i were gay this is the only archetype i would date"
Weirdly, this restores my faith in humanity for the afternoon.

That was something special. I'm a little creeped out, but I'll be OK.

mhoye- that sounds a lot like static typing. I'm suddenly horrified of Haskell.

Wait, wouldn't that be quarter of the way through the video after the video after this one ... Oh, ISWYDT.

The level of bombastic satire in this, coupled with its incredible in-your-face quality, coupled with how disturbing it is, is actually appropriate to how annoying those "like me status if" things are on Facebook.
If everything annoying in life were met with this sort of bunker-buster response, we'd be in a less annoying world. Unless you find this sort of video annoying, which might be a problem for you, because there would be A LOT OF THEM.

Brilliantly edited! I am not on Facebook enough to be annoyed with the general silliness and daily irritations. Which is how I deal with it.

I loved everything about this! Especially that little click noise he makes during the phone call segment.

Kinda funny, but seems about 6 months to a year late.

I shut down my facebook account six months ago and I don't think I'd ever liked anyone's anything anyways but I've now watched this three times. Guy's a charmer.

This makes me mostly happy.
But partly sad. I still can't do the girl pop.
That's what I call it.

You should be horrified of Ada or Java or something. Haskell's strong-typing-plus-type-inference is way less confining than traditional bondage-and-discipline languages.

Me too, but I also recognize that little things I hate can be symptomatic of bigger problems.

hattifattener- I was thinking quite specifically of Haskell when I wrote my comment. I recognize that many people confuse static typing with explicit typing/RSI syndrome but that was not what was going on in my comment. The Orwell quote my comment referred to doesn't mention anything about or analogous to explicit type signatures, or droning on and on about self-justification. Instead, it mentions precluding certain thoughts by making them impossible to express. That's what type systems are for. There are certain things that are impossible to express in Haskell- it just so happens that those things are almost always semantic errors.
Part of the joke is that it's a little silly to be horrified that Haskell makes it impossible e.g. to generate a null pointer exception.
