Friday Happy: "Where The Hell Is Matt? (2008)"
Matt dances poorly, and travels a lot. You may have seen his earlier videos in 2005 or 2006. (The 2006 edition has been discussed previously.)
This year, Matt did something a little different. Watch the video and see what you think.
I think it's pretty wonderful, myself.

Oops, the 2006 video's link should be this *sheepish*

Previously.

That made me tear up, and I'm not usually one for the crying! I can't believe I've not heard of him before today. Thanks for the post.
-
I really liked the original; it was so silly, so low-key, it was a refreshing splash of pure happiness. The new one... sure the quality is excellent, and he's gone to just about everywhere one could possibly imagine (A Maid Café!?), and the hordes of people add to the happiness, but something's missing. Sponsorship somehow mars it. I don't know. Maybe I'm jaded and his silly dance isn't enough to warm one's heart. Just feeling a bit of nostalgia for the ancient ages of the net before virals.
-
I found this to be quite moving.
-
Maybe I'm just not jaded enough, or maybe it's that I spend all day reading about nuclear war. This had me crying like a baby. A happy crying baby. People are great.
-
Yup, I cried too. Partly because everybody looked so damn happy, and partly because I haven't any chance of seeing a teensy fraction of these places. Lucky bastard. Does this guy have a job? Or is this it? Nice stuff, great change from the ominous news crowding my mind.
-
Dance, dance, you happy people!
-
Need more happy people dancing*? How about some whistling? Or learn about an obscure slice of pop history, appreciate the sheer joy of free movement and ogle at a groovy girl's gyrations. *Excluding last one, the people on those links were paid to do so. So their happiness might be fake. Results may vary. Might contain peanuts.

More from the Huli Wigmen. Ass grass?

> a groovy girl's gyrations. She got some advertising work on the basis of this, IIRC.
