youtube theater

It's hard to imagine what Net life would be like without YouTube - it's become a clearinghouse of characters strewn across the globe. Before you could only find entertainment of this sort on public access teevee, it's no accident that many of the better clips originate from there. Here's a collection of the unheralded stars of YouTube, all on deck ready to be the next Tay Zonday or Chris Crocker. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.


Meet Ray Lyman, star of the Scranton, Pennsylvania, City Council meetings. He looks like a cross between Beaver Cleaver and a ferret. He's pretty angry at what he sees as felonious acts by the City Council, so much so that he's called for an investigation by the Federal Attorney General, saying that "Scranton is like Berlin under Hitler." Then there was the case of the mysterious threatening letter Ray received with a City Council letterhead, it's too bad that he's not able to find it. He was eventually arrested for refusing to leave the podium after the expiration of his three minute public comment period, which put him even more over the edge. Here's one of Ray's better displays:


YouTube: How long can YOU go without laughing?
Ray has a YouTube page devoted to his public rants, I highly recommend checking it out: Fellow Scrantonians Channel. Here's some links to the highlights:

These next two clips aren't work or sensibility safe, so consider yourself warned. Alexyss K. Tylor is a self-described member of the Pussy Police. In this clip, she discusses Vagina and Penis Power with her mother. She's dressed up as a pilot because she's "piloting the pussy". She also shares the truth about "nut brackets.":
