Joe Pesci with His Head On Fire.
Critics describe this YouTube video as the apex of human civilization. If Pauline Kael was alive, surely she would say, 'Joe Pesci's head is on fire'. There is no further point to striving for anything, this is as far as we can possibly go as a species.
YouTube, SFW(?), 1:39

Bush sucks.
-
Cheney sucks!
-
Critics describe this YouTube video as the apex of human civilization. That is bullshit. Everyone knows that the apex of civilization occured when Motorhead appeared on the Young Ones. It's been downhill ever since.
-
No, this is the non plus ultra of western civilization.
-
I just projectile vomited all over my dog.
-
God, you're all morons. The greatest video in the history of the moving image, which in fact represents the very core reason why YouTube in particular and the internet in general were created, is this (Warning: LOLCATZ, Ninjas, Hasidic Lesbians, Barry Bonds getting punched in the nuts, and the most awesome killer robot disco star ever).
-
I almost got rickrolled by mct's link, but fortunately I have a very slow internet connection and the urban dictionary loaded much faster than the YouTube video. : )
-
And I was really looking forward to the Hasidic lesbians, too!
-
I appreciate the rickroll video, because watching the whole thing finally got the sound of Joe Pesci's screaming out of my head.
-
The greatest video in the history of the moving image I'm partial to this one. But then I'm a dirty little man who needs to be punished.
-
Ah, yes, now that's an expensive habit... their Amerika video is good, too. In the 'simple beauty' category, a few personal favorites would be Gotan Project's Diferente, Johan's Oceans and Sigur Ros' Glósóli.
-
It is better to light a single Joe Pesci's Head On Fire, than to curse the darkness.
-
Is Pesci a professional trumpet player? How else to explain how he can sustain a scream for 97 seconds? He clearly is able to breathe in while screaming.
-
The greatest video in the history of the moving image: It's got everything you needed, wanted, dreamed.
-
Yes, that includes poo flinging.
-
The greatest music video in the history of all mankind
-
yay!
-
Much better Pesci.
-
Hey everyone, I just rickrolled myself 4 times. I'm awesome.
-
I had to look that up on Urban Dictionary.
-
:D
-
Wow. Nobody says "f*ck" like Pesci, even his felt version. Nice post, dirigibleman.
-
> the apex of human civilization I nominate the 1993 performance of Sweet Home Alabama by the Leningrad Cowboys with backing from the Red Army Choir.
-
My God, rory. That's magnificent.
-
Wow.
