Well, aside from meh, all I can say is that is a shocking number of women on chatroulette.

Stuff like this could almost trick you into thinking people were okay...

Maybe women were less likely to click away.

Chatroulette still exists?

Apparently they even do a bunch of smart filtering to reduce the nudity percentage (although thankfully it didn't catch this guy).

So long as there are slumber parties and creepy dudes with webcams there will be a Chatroulette.

I think the quantity of body hair probably helped him there.

Say what you will about Miley, but I think the song is one of the best pop song that years of being a million dollar Disney child star can buy your adult self.

Speaking of songs, as a non-Chatroulette user, I like to imagine that people will always lip sync along to whatever you do if they know the song and that a high percentage is just people randomly singing songs together.

I thought the version Miley did on SNL was better than the studio cut. Of course I can't attest to the provenance of that performance, but to the ear it was more felicitous.

Sideburns guy at 0:58 is totally into this song

This is not Steve Kardynal's first appearance on Metafilter. There are many more chatroulette songs to watch.

This wins. This is honestly the only Miley Cyrus song I could name, but I agree it's not bad. The arrangement is unusual - the music is very sparse and highlights her voice very heavily in the mix. It has texture and doesn't seem to be processed much, or at all. She may be an outrageous spectacle at the moment, but she has talent.

I read something recently about one of the writers of the song, Stephan Moccio. It has made a big difference for him, as he'd just moved to LA from TO. It's not a bad tune.

Steve Kardynal's chatroulette videos will never get old for me!

Absolutely love this man. The Call me maybe chat roulette video he did, is a thing of beauty.

Hello by the way.

Steve Kardynal is one of my most favorite people on the internet. I have loved him ever since I watched his first Lady Gaga Chatroulette video at least 20 times in a row.

oh shit, I totally forgot that I was the one who first introduced MetaFilter to Steve Kardynal. Go, Past-Me!

I'm not ashamed to admit that as a 31 year-old straight male, Steve Kardynal is my favorite YouTube celebrity. There is something about his enthusiasm and joy that is infectious, and I love the way this comes out in his video composition.

I don't understand how much I enjoy this.

Ya know, I've had a really shitty day - and I can't stand Miley.
But goddamn, this made me smile.
posted by Bighappyfunhouse at 3:25 PM on November 26, 2013


I have never listened to that song before. And I never will again.

But that was so worth it.

Poetic justice!

What I love - and this is the same with his previous vids - is the number of quite bro-ey looking guys who are totally into it, and laughing and singing along etc, not pretending to be grossed out to establish how not-gay they are. Gives me hope for the young uns it does.

I think that what this thread clearly needs is a link to Miley Cyrus's AMA performance of Wrecking Ball last night where she sang in front of the projection of a giant lip-syncing kitten. Right?

I was surprised to see how many dudes knew the lyrics at least well enough to lip-synch along.

To add a little excitement, I watched this at work, pausing every 10 seconds to look over my shoulder.

Watching his other chatroulette videos (like this great one) - is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot fewer guys who were clearly interrupted just prior to or during masturbation in the Wreaking Ball one?

The best thing is when the people watching the video go from "What the fuck" to "Won over" to even "Singing along." Kardynal is bringing joy to people all over the Internet, sometimes one person at a time.

MontySwan: The Call me maybe chat roulette video he did, is a thing of beauty.

Thank you for that.

I may have watched just the main link and gone on with my life, not knowing how empty it was. (I will use any excuse to hear Call Me Maybe since I got it banned from our house for overuse when I sang-narrated an entire birthday from "It's my birthday, so buy me bru-unch" to "It's my birthday, so pay my bar tab" to that tune.)
I want to raid his closet.
