The One Where Everything Goes Wrong (Some swearing)

[macbrack04]

Dentures back in Rob... ;-) MAC.

[RobNorthampton]

@macbrack04 The joys of video-making :-)

[strikenetter]

LOL, 2:09, you reminded me of the comedian in the movie Watchmen! I should ostracize you for not indulging me with the part of the joker! Don't think id be a very stunning short haird Ledger, but give the fisherman his due!

[RobNorthampton]

@strikenetter I'm pleased you enjoyed this nonsense :-) Be assured, if I have to do a Batman sequel, you can get your white face paint at the ready! :-D

I think Ledger was a brilliant villain, but I still love Cesar Romero's Joker character in the TV series! See YT dot com/

"Holy wet slapper, Batman! They're throwing fish at us!" LOL

[bearcub410]

well rob just great . i love the batman suit LOL cheers adam

[RobNorthampton]

@bearcub410 Thanks Adam, and thanks for the video you sent me. It's not something I've ever seen locally before :-)

[SteeveeStrange]

This is my favourite blooper reaction 1:58

It's the kinda thing I'd expect you to do when you realise how shitty Christmas TV is! <3

[RobNorthampton]

@SteeveeStrange LOL It probably would be, if I could even be bothered to look at what was on TV, either at Christmas or any other time of the year! My recreation time is usually largely PC based :-)

[michaelmail]

I just blather, no rehearsals, no retakes. Extemporaneous be my name. While this might explain my low 'numbers', it is less frustrating to me, and more like a real conversational tone.

BTW... I'm going to subscribe, and I'll check out some more of your talky-blogs, then I'll be in touch.

[waltercarnby]

That camera has some sort of sneaky interest in your bat-parts, Batman!

[RobNorthampton]

@waltercarnby Hi there and hope you're well!

I'm afraid my camera didn't stand a chance once my bulk hit the bouncy floorboards! :-)

[TeenTwinkTween]

HAHAHA! I didn't notice this video until just now! I'm going to send you a teleprompter! :P~

[RobNorthampton]

@TeenTwinkTween With all my fluffing and effing, I don't think it would help! Sometimes my mouth just doesn't obey what my brain is telling it to say!

:-D

[fehquig]

Sometimes I can vlog for fifteen minutes or more without missing a beat but give me a scripted line and I can take twenty takes and still not deliver it right LOL

[RobNorthampton]

@fehquig The trouble is, if I didn't have some kind of notes to follow, I'd furble and burble along for ages and completely forget to make my point. As you can see, much of it ends up on the virtual cutting room floor! :-)

[fehquig]

@RobNorthampton Each one of us has a unique style...

[aNdYmAtTeR]

Haha ... it's a positive thing when there's room for improvement?

I sat and punched in guitar overdubs yesterday trying to complete a song on a Digital Audio Workstation (multitrack tape recorder on screen ... nothing more, nothing less, but it sounds soooo cute with "DAW", doesn't it?)

Guess what. No acting, but the same kind of repeating goofs and the same cursing hahaha! So been there, done that, I guess : )

[RobNorthampton]

@aNdYmAtTeR Yes. It's odd. We bumble along nicely, thinking we have everything under control, and then suddenly suffer a brain fart, and end up filled with consternation at our own shortcomings! Mind you, tack on a sense of humour, and at least we can amuse ourselves with chuckles as we tut at our own stupidity! :-)

And yes, DAW does sound cute! :-D

[TheraminTrees]

LOL it's the damnedest thing how some innocuous little word combo on page can send your mouth into terminal spasm. I remember my 'significant figures' always came out 'significant fingers'. Loved the 'Hey! .... Bastard!' — much more punchy than 'To the batcave Robin!' ;8D

[RobNorthampton]

@TheraminTrees Hahaha! I'll bet your significant fingers have strayed into all sorts of significant places too!

I do tend to get wound up a bit when it goes wrong over and over, but I always end up laughing at the footage afterwards :-D

Thankfully, most of my mistakes are languishing in a dusty shoebox at the bottom of a cupboard on tapes. The new cams, with their digital 'footage' do tend to transfer too easily, and linger on my HD nowadays though! :-)

[VitaVeritasVictoria1]

LOL! Ahh, thank you kind sir, I really needed a good chuckle this morning. I am having a morning very similar where I swear a lot.Better get myself a cup of coffee before I bang my other toe....grrrr ;)

[RobNorthampton]

@VitaVeritasVictoria1 And thank you for watching! :-)

Warning: Never buy open-toed sandals! ;-)

[richardhal]

Night vision specs, Ian Paisley, camels, coffee mornings and garden fetes

That's a f***ing amazing combination...

[RobNorthampton]

@richardhal LOL Thanks Richard! It does sound like a bunch of nonsense when you put it like that! Or it could perhaps be described as an enlightening insight into the blood, sweat and tears that I shed in order to bring to the masses an illuminating, thought-provoking, eclectic mix of edutainment...

No, on second thoughts, you're right. It is just a bunch of nonsense! :-D

[YAHWEHtoHELL]

Hahahahaha, this is great!!!

Mate, such a clear and colourful picture!!!

[RobNorthampton]

@YAHWEHtoHELL Thanks Sean! It's all stuff and nonsense, but that's what YouTube's all about anyway, eh? :-D

[tonightwefly]

A great video Rob!!! laughed all the way through especially batman hahaha

[RobNorthampton]

@tonightwefly Thanks very much! And you thought all the jump-cuts in my videos were just for dramatic effect, didn't you? :-D

[tonightwefly]

@RobNorthampton Haha very funny!!! U getting up for work?

[RobNorthampton]

@tonightwefly Yep. I'm afraid so. Until that lottery win materialises, I have to keep eking out a living. The neighbours didn't re-stock their bird table with bread yesterday, so I guess I have no choice but to go out and buy my own! ;-)

[dooshahn]

0:52 ...to fit thru cameltoe

[RobNorthampton]

@dooshahn LOL! In my case, definitely!

[dooshahn]

XD <3

( 1:00 How can you key out that green background properly when there are so many shadows and wrinkles on it? But I've seen the result vid and it's actually well done.)

[RobNorthampton]

@dooshahn I never said I was a perfectionist, Dušan. I'm sure the shadows probably show up on the finished vid too, but I don't worry about little things like that. :-)

Thanks for watching! :-D

[coolsteven2]

0:28 *BATMAN*...-camera faints-. This is a hilarious video.

[RobNorthampton]

@coolsteven2 I couldn't be bothered to set up my tripod, so the camera was balanced on a stool on top of a chair! As soon as I leapt onto the floor, it all came crashing down! :-D

[Roseybaby63]

Funny one. You made me laugh. I particularly enjoyed the Batman bits. What can I say, I love out takes and bloopers.

[RobNorthampton]

@Roseybaby63 Thanks Rose. Glad you liked it! :-)

[beachcomber2008]

It's a great camera - LOL

[RobNorthampton]

@beachcomber2008 My great bulk leaping onto springy floorboards does seem to have an effect on its stability! :-D

[beachcomber2008]

@RobNorthampton But still a great quality to its picture - throws the rest into gret contrast

Pity about its owner! LOL

Maybe you should concentrate on outtakes

Or lay off the woodbines

[beachcomber2008]

@RobNorthampton I'm the same. I find that repetition takes the excitement and panic out of it, and eventually you can sit on gremlins and use them as a comfy cushion

Or just learn to enjoy what happens

Just ignore me

:)

[genmama1955]

This is great! I'm inspired to make my own, now! xoxo

[RobNorthampton]

@genmama1955 Go for it, Lee Ann! It was against my better judgement to begin with, but "the tag" must be obeyed! LOL

It seems to have been well received, considering it's all the throwaway bits! :-)

[dewinthemorning]

Amuzing. :) You have a knack. I liked the costume at the end and the ending itself.

[RobNorthampton]

@dewinthemorning Thanks very much! Thanks for dropping by and looking at my nonsense! :-)

[twish1999]

LOL!!!

love this!

:-)

[RobNorthampton]

@twish1999 Thanks Trish! It's funny how the bits we throw away can end up as something loosely called "entertainment"! :-D

[ItalianStallionette]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I loev the batman parts!!

[RobNorthampton]

@ItalianStallionette So does Robin, Gina! :-D

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

"Whats that up my cape Batman!?!"

"Cock Robin!"

[RobNorthampton]

@M0THERKN0WSBEST Lol, how perceptive!

(When we used these costumes to a fancy dress party, my other half went as Robin) ;-)

[M0THERKN0WSBEST]

@RobNorthampton That would be your lower half !? ...  sorry, I am just terminally sick & twisted. : P

[XforeverlongingX]

wow with your red shirt you look like a rose in a garden girl. garden of eden miss honey

[RobNorthampton]

@XforeverlongingX I'm the old Dog-rose that ya just can't get rid of! Just when you think it's all gone, it crawls out of the borders to scratch at your ankles! :-D

[tinySpectacle]

Ha, ha, ha. This is very funny. Love Batman Rob. If I put all my video out takes together, I could have one video where the whole poem would consist of this line: "Mother f***ing hell."

[RobNorthampton]

@tinySpectacle Thanks Lo! I'd love to see your "Mother F'ing Hell" video! Now that one would definitely go straight into my favourites! :-D

[OhCurt]

And even amidst all these flubs you still make it look easy.

:-)

[RobNorthampton]

@OhCurt Aw that's nice of you to say, Curt, but I'd have a long way to go to emulate you! You are the most relaxed guy-in-front-of-a-camera I know! :-D

[OhCurt]

@RobNorthampton Yikes, does it really look that way? I stress out before and after (mostly before) and edit out the parts where I stress *during*

[RobNorthampton]

@OhCurt Hahaha! If that's true, you do a very good camouflage job!

I hope you're managing to keep the wolves from the door down there in Sunshine City, and I look forward to your next de-stressed vid! :-)

[BryanAndBaileysZen]

umm I love the bat man suite - !lol

[RobNorthampton]

@BryanAndBaileysZen The top is like wearing a quilt, and the bottoms is like wearing nothing! So thin! A good costume for parties, and/or recreation! ;-)

[Perroquet51]

LOL, I get such a perverse pleasure watching bloopers. It really helps to put the perfect fantasy world into perspective.

[RobNorthampton]

@Perroquet51 To let you in on a small secret, Marc, my perfect fantasy world wouldn't be allowed on YouTube! ;-D

[OceanTownPictures]

Holy hell bat man! I did not think it was possible for you English guys to make mistakes! Now, I will have to re-watch those videos. . . especially the batman vid. (I missed that one) Thank you for making this response. . .great usage of your "screw up" word. haha -Steve-

[RobNorthampton]

@OceanTownPictures Thanks Steve! Luckily, I seem to have deleted much of the PC raw footage from my taped videos! They are still left on tapes, languishing in a shoe box somewhere! The mistakes would fill another channel!

:-)

[conclusivebeginning]

made me roll, loved it !

[RobNorthampton]

@conclusivebeginning Thanks Ryan! I hope things are smoothing out for you.

:-) x

[hemeanseverything2me]

Just "one of those days" 'ey? :P

The Batman scenes were best!

P.s Love the pink shirt! :)

[RobNorthampton]

@hemeanseverything2me Thanks Tom! It's funny to look back on, but frustrating at the time when you think you'll just quickly rush off a quick vid, and it all goes pear-shaped! :-)

[hemeanseverything2me]

@RobNorthampton Oh I know exactly what you mean, yesterday whilst making my vid. everything was going great until I realised my camera hadn't been filming for the past 5 minutes. After that I was so angry that every ten seconds on of my words would come out all slurred and I'd pull a funny face... Oh the joy.

[RobNorthampton]

@hemeanseverything2me Are you sure you hadn't been drinking beforehand? That usually makes me slur too - if I have enough! ;-)

I hope you managed to complete your vid ok eventually! :-D

[qiranger]

LOL- Thanks for the laugh!

[RobNorthampton]

@qiranger Thanks for watching, Steve! Hope you're well and happy! :-)

[Sikosm]

LOL nice bloopers! Great batman suit - "So yeah..." :-P lol

[RobNorthampton]

@Sikosm Thanks Stas! That was last year's halloween. I still haven't done this year's costume yet! ;-)

[NielsC68]

Hmmm, this may finally bury my aspirations to make my own videos. ;-P

[RobNorthampton]

@NielsC68 LOL Don't let me put you off. I'm sure you'd make a better job of it than me! :-)

[TheLunarmonkey]

@NielsC68

thinking the same thing myself.lol

[RobNorthampton]

@TheLunarmonkey Some go easier than others. I guess it's deciding what to say before you try to say it. Using phrases like "witch texts" doesn't help. It's like trying to say "Irish Wristwatch" over and over! :-)

[TheLunarmonkey]

@RobNorthampton

yea i know what you mean, well im getting new lap top for christmas so mayb make vid then, il keep them short though.lol
