Buying into evil corporate Youtubery

Just a random selection of clips I've been favouriting on Youtube lately. For whatever reason.
Big Train - Prince - The Big Train team (most of whom people will recognize from Spaced and Shaun of the Dead) go surreal.
Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down - I haven't got Johnny's American V album, which explains why I hadn't hear this before until the BBC started using it to advertise Eastenders, of all things. But so very good.
Tom Jones on The Morcambe and Wise Show - Absolute classic. And inexplicably hilarious.
Mark and Lard present Lard's Classic Cuts - Okay, it's a clip from a radio show, but I miss these guys on BBC Radio 1 so very much.
Lucky Star Decepticons - Yeah. I still laugh.
Oliver - "Reviewing the Situation" - I'm going through a musicals phase and Ron Mood as Fagin in Oliver has to be one of the greatest performances in a musical put onto celluloid.
And speaking of greatest ever moments - Monty Python's Life of Brian - Biggus Dickus. A moment that never ever fails to reduce me to tears of laughter.
And not unrelated - The Knights of Star Trek. Brilliantly done.
Gorillaz - 19/2000 - One of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's cartoon band's greatest hits.
Dave Spikey on Obituaries - Phoenix Night's Dave Spikey's standup is in questionable taste. Which is always funny.
G is for Gangsta - Bert and Ernie go rap.
Jesus - The Musical - File under "never gets old".
