Saw the same clip yesterday, and a friend digged up the source video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JAgXz6xO0s

Unfortunately there is no sound in that clip either. I really want to know what it sounds like, it has to be the most satisfying sound in the world.
I think it might be a clip from an upcoming video though?

That was just the dumbest fucking thing. Google does some really bone-headed things.

It was obviously destined to fail from day 1. It was almost as bad as that modular smartphone thing they did.

My nephew spontaneously singing Hallelujah from Georg Friedrich Händel's Messiah oratorio. Surely all of you heard the piece at least once before, be it out of context, but still.

Some unholy union of skinhead and breakfast cereal; what exactly is it under the tablecloth?

^A relic from a more innocent time, when 'skinhead' was more likely to be associated with those lovely nutty boys from family-friendly pop act Madness than neo-nazis.

ngl, ad archive is my secret passion. Nothing is more nostalgic than hours of commercials from when you were a kid. I never really forgot about the Neat Wheat Mate guys and when the first Despicable Me movie came out I legit thought they had returned.

Hahaha. I get it. I used to listen to Ian Dury, so I vaguely understand (as much as someone from the US could).

I found another more complete archive of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEV46ca55jQ

"We're not airy-fairy cereals." Wow, so 1980s.

I'm normally against fandom gatekeeping, but the old-school skinheads trying to reclaim it have a reasonable cause.

On the new Tim Hunkin series: fantastic so far. I love the fact he’s chronicling his knowledge via this method, since he (by his own admission) found it ineffable in the past.

"If you know what's good for you..."

Subtly implying he'll kick the shit out of you... and since he's an anthropomorphized high-fiber food he could mean that in more ways than one!
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Since it hasn't been posted yet: the full video with the giant microswitch mentioned above was uploaded a few days ago. The giant microswitch itself appears at around 4:40. It does sound lovely.
