These YouTube wars are getting out of hand.

The choreography raises more questions than it answers.

The ol’ Viking rape-and-pillage ain’t what it used to be.

You Americans don’t know what you’re missing every year. This wasn’t even close to the worst song in the contest.

That d00d has a serious case of goofy face.

You think so? I think he looks kind of Disney-channel, personally. Though that may amount to the same thing.

That would lead to pluto face.

Thank you. I needed a good laugh since I’ve been under a lot of stress in the past month, and that video is utterly delightful. The gymnast doods together with the chix in the pink gowns were just teh awesome.

It’s as if Ryan Seacrest wasn’t gay, and had sex with one of the less-talented American Idol contestants…and this was their offspring.

And yet, I can see this being on PBS any day now during a fund drive.

Oh my god, this is so awesome…it’s the original guy who was told to GET OFF MAH LAWN!!! by John McCain.

My favorite part is his “connect with the teeny-boppers” facial expressions that look more like a coke rictus.

Of course, maybe I need mOaR kofFie….

It’s better when you imagine them all being naked.

I think we should nuke Sweden to prevent this from happening again. Then we’ll bulldoze all of the ashes into a pile and set them on fire again, just to make sure.

What did Sweden do?

Really? Eurovision? That’s almost cheating.

Sometimes you have to go to war with the army you have, not the army you want.

Bet the kid does a mean “Devil Went Down to Georgia.”

Veiled cunnilingus reference.

Why is Eurovision so terrible, is it because the British aren’t allowed to participate or do they just have bad taste.

We participate every year, we’re one of the core countries. Eurovision just highlights how wide the gulfs between the various cultures of Europe actually are.

Alexander Rybak is no Lordi.

Alexander Rybak is no Armi Ja Danny:

Armi Ja Danny featuring the 20mg Valium dance crew.

I like the way the dancing has nothing to do with the music, the music has nothing to do with the lyrics, the lyrics are an ESL nightmare, and the singer’s facial expressions change from delighted to pained to leering to sad like a schizophrenic’s. Then the two vava-voomettes come out just to sing “la la la” and display their tits. And his main skill is the fiddle.

It’s as though a committee of Norwegian tourist board executives watched three episodes of American Idol and the Oscars and said, “Oh, so that’s how you do live music. Okay. We can do that.”

And he won.

One of the push up guys throws a shoe into the audience at about 2:40. Hard.

Really? Eurovision? That’s almost cheating.

I was gonna say – isn’t there a treaty against that stuff?

Then the two vava-voomettes come out just to sing “la la la” and display their tits.

You’re absolutely right. They should have been doing the back-flips and hand-springs.

Hey, I like it, its ‘New Country’!

Hey, I like it, its ‘New Country’!

‘New Country’ sounds like bad 70’s pop. Not to imply that there was such a thing as good 70’s pop.

I like the way the dancing has nothing to do with the music, the music has nothing to do with the lyrics, the lyrics are an ESL nightmare,

Yes, that’s it exactly. And yet he won. I am a peaceful person, but I have to agree this is almost cause to nuke Sweden. At a minimum, the UN Security Council needs to send Sweden a very stern letter.

What does Sweden have to do with this?

What does Sweden have to do with this?

By failing to invade and/or bomb Norway, they tacitly approved this performance.

Norway-Sweden, Sweden-Norway. Accorrding to US intelligence they’re pretty much interchangeable, like Iraq-Afghanastn or Bin Laden-Saddam Hussein.

It’s better when you imagine them all being naked.
To be fair, it improves most things, except perhaps family reunions.

I liked it. It also answers the question, “What ever happened to the 81st place Norwegian Men’s Gymnastic Team, 2008 Olympics?”

Tell me this fudge-packin’ nightmare was produced in late ’82

Jennifer’s link:

“I’m a retired mailman and was McCains mailman. We are told to take shortcuts when delivering mail, such as crossing someones lawn. The customer can tell us not to use that shortcut and McCain personally told me not to use his lawn. A has been who ran with a quiter and they are in the spotlight.

So was this ensemble formed by a random drawing at an Asberger’s convention?

McCain yelled at his MAILMAN?

But but but weren’t we all just told that he was virile and energized? Or is he just bitter and cranky?

McCain is bitterly virile and energetically cranky. I see no contradictions here. I imagine there is an entire genre of C&W songs along the lines of “Get off my lawn, woman, and back in my bed”.

Who knew that Ben Shapiro could play the violin?

@ Judas, I knew the dude looked familiar, but you nailed it…

This is kind of like translating Ricky Martin into a Baltic context.

I imagine there is an entire genre of C&W

There is an entire division of abnormal psychologists, dodgy art history majors, and enthusiastic alcoholics massing to study the imagination of Smut Clyde.

My suppository. Let me show you it.

He’s too smug to be Ben Shapiro. Ben’s got more of a “blatantly insecure and awkward” look going. He’s more Breitbart/goldberg only without the ugly. I know it’s hard to divorce those two from the ugly in your minds, but try.

My suppository. Let me show you it.

There were some suspicions about whence you obtain your thoughts.

He’s actually not a bad fiddler. As for the rest, though … OMFG.

And yet, I can see this being on PBS any day now during a fund drive.

Donate now, and we’ll stop playing this!

Those hulder babes are pretty hot.

*Norway^ won? I was gonna watch the Eurovision Song Contest, but I tihnk we went out for Chinese, and then I just forgot all about it. Serves me right for not paying attention.

The UK’s “nul point” is all the sweeter in that they hired Andrew Lloyd Webber to write their entry. Their tears are like the finest ale to me.

I like the chord procession and the riff. Derivative as they are.

The bleeding of my eyes was only surpassed by that of my ears. Luckily, however, all my synapses had already fried, leaving me in prime contention for RNC chair.

Wow. The chorus and fiddle solo sound like the call to prayer, as performed at the Grand ‘ol Oprey. Death to Norway/Nashville!

He’s actually not a bad fiddler. As for the rest, though … OMFG.

How can you tell? He only plays the one stupid riff over and over again.

(That said: he is a better fiddler than me. The shame.)

Eurovision 2009 seems to have been a schmalz fest. In the past they’ve had some good singers, but this guy and the others I’ve seen are either 3rd tier Las Vegas lounge acts or else just escapees from Six Flags performance halls. This video was painful to watch.
