Is this the same guy as ask a ninja?

Ask a ninja has blue eyes, but they have similar editing styles, and speech patterns.

Destroying things is inherently hilarious and fun to do. While I agree that our society shows a careless attitude about wasting resources and money (and time), and that people need to be more educated and conscientious, I still don't think there's anything wrong with tossing electronics or furniture off your roof or, say, out of a window every now and then.
I mean, watch the couch part again and just try not to laugh.

That's way funner than still having a couch!
So so so funny from start to finish.

Small wonder other countries and cultures think we're ignorant. We are.
Real humor is based on intelligence, a sense of timing, and the ability to make a real connection with viewers. It actually requires a good bit of empathy as well. Over the years, however, humor in Western civilization has been increasing focused on "look how stupid and destructive I am!" It requires no intelligence whatsoever, making it the ideal expression of at least two generations who are as self-centered as they are under-educated.
The natural path for YouTube might be to pursue a theme of "Things Destroying People," a collection of grisly car accidents, burn victims, explosions, mass murders, etc. I'm certain that many YouTube viewers would find it to be amusing.
Actually, we may have already reached that stage. Two years into the Iraq "War" US soldiers were bringing home movies they'd shot of the people they killed - including civilians. The movies were set to death metal soundtracks and proudly shown to friends, relatives and neighbors. Some actually had the decency to be shocked, but many found the movies to be quite patriotic. The Pentagon found out and wisely put a stop to it, for obvious PR reasons.

He's right. People waste a lot of stuff these days. I mean, yeah, that iMac was like 10 years old but somebody somewhere might need that.
And all that milk... damn, I seriously hope it had gone bad before pouring it all over the place.
Remember people, you might not feel lucky but, compared to millions of people around the world, you ARE lucky. Think about that.

One of humanities favorite pastimes! We maketh and we taketh away. Like making a work of art and then destroying it. There is fun in the creation AND destruction. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
