People think Weird Twitter is weird, but it's no competition for Weird YouTube.

Thank you so much for introducing me to that channel. The Internet never fails to surprise me with how strange it can be.

Check out 'alantutorial' if you're into bizarre yt/web things.

    alantutorial is an alternate reality "game" starring a fictional character named "alan", made by Alan Resnick[1]. It seems all those videos are narrating a story!!! Now, I need to see them all :) [1]http://tutorialheads.wikia.com/wiki/Alantutorial http://tutorialheads.wikia.com/wiki/Alantutorial

He has 1,751 subscribers, this is something to think about.

  I'm more surprised by the fact that there aren't more. You would think the Internet would have gone ballistic over this discovery, but no one has yet to pick him up.

    This is his second or more account. It blew up a number of years ago and he deleted everything.

See also Gluse which is a man riding elevators in various buildings. http://youtube.com/user/gluse http://youtube.com/user/gluse (I am not mocking him. I admire the ability to create so many videos about a focussed topic.)

  I bet his viewers would be willing to pitch together some money and get him some sort of steadycam rig; the random video I clicked on was very hard to watch.

    YouTube actually offer to fix videos that the algos find to be shaky; I wonder if they are choosing not to run the fix or if it's failing (the vid I viewed has some really fast transient wobble that doesn't seem like normal camera shake).

      The youtube video stabilization makes for wobbly video. I take video inside of race cars, and they're unwatchable if you use the youtube stabilization. They turn out much more watchable without it.

        The spatial warping that happens is also very disorienting sometimes.
      - pbhjpbhj 13y ago
        I've only used it once, for hand wobble correction (it did quite well), perhaps higher frequencies break the algo used.

    I bet there are some days where the video is steadier because he is in a better mood. After all, I'm sure he has his ups and downs.

I looked at his channel, and it is mostly what you described with one exception - every few months he seems to post some variation of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnvX3NvE5j8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnvX3NvE5j8 Maybe it's just me, but it takes him from simply being an internet crazy to something very human and makes me a little bit sad.

  Thanks for posting that, it was moving in a strange way.

Brilliant. Andy Warhol recorded 8 hours long movie of his friend sleeping. In the youtube era he would make even greater fame than he managed in his time.
jcomis 13y ago
This is his second account. A while back his first account "ConradsCigars" or something like that was posted on somethingawful and it got quite popular. At the time it was implied that these were some sort of smoking fetish videos. He didn't like the attention and deleted them all. Looks like he's going strong again now.

Thanks guys for sharing these pearls. I though I have seen "everything" but yep, I'm so pleased to be so wrong.

Certainly is. During uni I did some work in a bar in a hotel, and one day the manager came in and said he'd been googling the name of the hotel and found a video on youtube. It was a video of a toilet in one of the rooms being flushed, and the dude who uploaded it had thousands of videos of toilets all around the world being flushed. Nothing else, just a single flush of the toilet.
