Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

While waiting for tie53 I offered 1k to the best video of somebody doing a handstand while singing an Ode to DaEvils (DaEvils being my FTP screen name) that gets put on YouTube. I got the following submissions:

1) This guy claimed to bribe a homelesss person (although you can't tell if he's homeless. The Ode is supposed to be:

O dear daevils; Mr. Foxwoods Fiend;
Tie53’s roll-- o’ how its cleaned;
It must be so nice to be rolling in green.

You overshoved the pot with pairs of Kings and Tens
Who knows what tie was hoping for then,
And another hand you rolled tie again,
You shoved with two jacks, he called with 8 Ten;
When tie cracked your aces
With runner runner flush
It wasn’t bad play it was just plain bad luck
Despite his bad call of a big bet on turn,
You kept playing—he just wouldn’t learn

At the end of the day,
Tie just got outplayed
So now I read this ode,
Trying to get paid

Homeless person

2) not a real handstand

3) not really a handstand

4) full handstand

5) good song, bad handstand

No poll: just if you like one of these say which one and I'll go with a scale weighting my own preference heavily and going against it if there's consensus that one of these is best.

Homeless person, terrible video... you can't see what he's doing or understand what he's saying.

Video 2, awesome music, but just weird.

Video 3, George Michaels... NO!

Video 4, weakish, but best so far.

Video 5, nah

Imma gonna go with 4.

I thought the contest was a handstand,

The second guy just sang. Who cares.

homeless person one sucks you can barely see/hear anything, 2 is too long and boring, 3 just plain sucks, 4 is probably the best i think cuz the headstand, 5 is meh

I think someone could totally clean house in this competition if they took 2 minutes of planning. So far it's been underwhelming.

My thoughts as I read this thread :

- Wow, wasn't that long since FF was 'broke'.
- Man, this is pathetic to watch.
- Man, if i had known about this i would SO have won!

No we did this in like 2 min. Nobody had time like that. It was a spur of the moment thing.

Agree, not really sure how to make a youtube video, but I could do something much better than these and I dont even think I'm very creative.

Cool idea though.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

i feel ashamed to find number one so funny.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

You'd be surprised how hard it is to get a homeless guy who's obv high and complaining about how much the ground hurts to
a) do a handstand
b) read

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

#2 is clear winnah.

He's actually put some effort in terms of production/etc and the rest are all short and terrible.

#1 would have been insta win if the bum didnt suck balls.

no4

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

i really feel sorry for dude in number 3. because he's obviously spent a while working out how he can play and sing to wham without waking his parents up in the next bedroom.

also great job coming up w/ this idea to give money away.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

#2, song is good; I laughed hard. Also, decent camera work making it look like a real handstand (obv not real, but at least attempted to make it look real).

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

[Snoop] Dear, God, I wonder can you save me

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

Actually, watching #2 makes me glad I didn't try this; I definitely can't beat that vid.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

WTF -- don't tell me that I am going to catch you guys in a big mistake?? Headstand vs Handstand --- big difference ---- all videos FAILED in the handstand part. . .

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

Of the ones submitted I gots to say #2.

Alternatively ship each $200 for effort. OMG CHOP.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

You need to hire a classicist or a poet to write you a real ode. I'm morally certain it would cost less than 1k.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
 

haha i really really really liked the first minute of #2.

Re: Contest: 1k Handstand Ode to DaEvils. BBV, You Be the Judge
