There is no good reason to watch more than 10 seconds of that first video, it's just the same stupid stupid the whole stupid time. The second video is pretty good though. I shall contribute.

Kind of fun to watch, nothing too crazy. I guess if you've played Angry Birds before you'll get a kick out of it.

this was supposed to be on the other list, but got left out. Pretty legit.

woah, really puts things into perspective. The countdown to the droid launch was awesome, then the galay S really made things take off. just a visual entertainment, no biggie.

1. Coolest film of the bunch, I love how the first ~30 seconds the music is just starting, and you can tell people are like "wtf is going on in this thread" and then all of a sudden it's a Fiddler on the Roof style dance party. It seems incredibly spontaneous, at least the dancers, which is great. This is my favorite video of the 5 you just posted, definitely.

2. Pretty crazy seeing that stuff in action, I can only imagine what it was like to be there.

3. That kid can dance better than me and it pisses me off.

4. Pretty cool, but it is so obviously planned where the first one it seems like they started playing music, and people just decided to start dancing. The first video was way less coordinated, so if they were both planned, this one wins, but I'm gonna tend toward the first video being less planned than this one.

5. This video pales in comparison to all but maybe the third video, but it is still pretty cool. I'm not sure how hard it is to do a kick-flip on a surf board, but I lived on the coast for most of my life and I've never heard of anyone doing it so I must assume it is pretty hard.

Regarding #5, the clothes line manufacturer Volcom have had a competition running since 2007 in which they said they'd give $10,000 to the first person to achieve a kick-flip on a surfboard (and prove it).

The guy in that video, some fella named Zoltan, has been recognised as the first.
