YouTube Picks of the Week

I waste a lot of time on YouTube, but this means that you don't have to if you have the same taste as me! (And the will power to ignore the never-ending stream of related videos to whatever you look for.) Anyway, here's an extremely random grab bag of cool things I've found. Each link has my comments below.

Ever wonder what it would be like if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were the same movie? Obviously you're not the only one! I'm not sure if it's the similarities or dissimilarities that make this so funny. Possibly both. George and Fred make a perfect Merry and Pippin, and Dobby could easily be Gollum's distant cousin. But Snape is most definitely NOT Aragorn.

No comment on Hermione/Arwen.

Amusing in a totally corrupt way. It's disturbing how perfectly the Disney scenes fit...

If you know a lot about Jane Austen's novels or have at least seen all the movies (not sure if any of my readers do or have) this is HILARIOUS. Though, it may still be kinda funny even if you don't know anything.

Another Jane Austen but this time it's Pride and Prejudice mixed with Harry Potter which should be amusing if you at least know about Harry Potter and even funnier if you know about Pride and Prejudice.
