Whereneverever Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I am overly amused that that is the video that did it. :lol: http://thefederalist.com/2014/12/03/remember-gangnam-style-it-literally-just-broke-youtube/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I am not sure what that says about humanity, but I am sure that it is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hahaha. I am doing my part by watching it again and giggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure my DD added a million or so views to that count. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I can honestly say I had never seen the video to that song until now. It is really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 :D I can honestly say I had never seen the video to that song until now. It is really weird. Wow! You've missed out! If it weren't for the video, you would probably have never even heard the song. It wouldn't be a "thing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathnerd Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 So, it is PSY who finally broke the internet :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 haha, one of my nephews has been obsessed with that video for the last two years. I'm sure he averages 10 viewings per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 If you know who's who in Korean entertainment there are a lot of famous people in that video. And it did help pave the way for Kpop to become an international thing. Lots of good groups are coming out of Korea now and even older groups are getting more international attention.

PeacefulChaos Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I saw that on Twitter today, from his company, YG. I think it's hysterical. And AWESOME. <3 PSY cracks me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to say this! A couple guys from Big Bang are in it. :D So of course, I KNOW these things!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohru Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I walked in on the video playing and all I remember seeing was the camera zooming in and out on backsides, shaking bums. That was more than enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Better Psy than Kim Kardashian. :) If it was up to my kids, it would be GummiBär. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I thought overall it was silly, bums aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linguistmama Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Aren't they the old guys playing Baduk aka Go? For real?! Lol!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah. I helped contribute to that videos popularity. What can I say ... it's catchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in CA Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Aren't they the old guys playing Baduk aka Go? oh, that's funny! what's also funny -- the first time I saw the video, I thought the old guys really were hadobuji (grandpas) ... until they were blown into the air by the explosion LOL. I think the gomushin should have tipped me off -- you see old guys sitting around all over Korea, but even if they're wearing hanbok, they usually have black leather Western shoes on, not the traditional rubber shoes ... Wall Street Journal has several articles too -- most-watched video & YouTube upgrade :D ETA: Just watched the video again ... I think they aren't playing baduk, but Korean chess. All the pieces are white (ivory), and there is a large gamepiece (the king) near the rear on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I just realized I'd never actually watched the video all the way through, although I've seen the Star Trek version more times than I'd like to admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
