I am the very model of a popular YouTube auteur

[UltraSwat]

I for one understand what the video was meant for, so therefor I have to give you some applause. I understand that this video was made five years ago, but still it was quite humorous. I mean, if you were this good at editing five years ago I'm curious about how good you are now. Also, props for the lyrics. They were innovative and funny (not perfect, but better than what I or most anyone else who comments on this video could do).

[littlemisslovly101]

WTF at 0:7 seconds in the backround?!?!

[TheRetardBoyz]

her best friend looks like the guy from bite me

[gillyssquashball]

This may be the gayest video on youtube.

[lln9]

THERES ANTIMONY ARSENIC ALUMINUM SELENIUM AND HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN AND NITROGEN AND RHENIUM!

[SpotxSpot]

This is obviously stylistic suck, but the major general's song is something that should have never have this particular trope applied to it.

[kakelll]

this is so horrible it's entertaining

[vanessaLoveeful]

my hands smell like cucumber and melon because I used some soap that smelled like that.

[TheWarnerSister]

I think you're being a little harsh. The execution could use a lot of work, but the idea is great, the editing is nice and it actually got me hooked on lonelygirl15's videos. :) Nice job.

[sv650touring]

Pretentious and inaccurate title

Unwatchable video

Cringe-inducing lyrics & singing

Subject matter I would be ashamed to admit caring about

Yep, this is truly some of the worst YouTube has to offer.

[buntaboss25k]

this was extremely lame and i had to stop part way through

[chikomariemontez]

...lol British people

[RachKarynHana]

@kidrauhl I LOVE U JUSTIN BIEBER

[RachKarynHana]

@kidrauhl I LOVE YOU JUSTIN BIEBER

[NataleighSykes]

justin bieber commented this o.o

[TheOfficersMess]

Rhyming derrida with antartica.... genius!

[lovelyone23456789]

weird video

[iforgetmyaccountlol]

isnt that dude is the guy from "bite me"?

[RichardOliverWY]

witty; well done.  just right.

[dplant]

why not join talentastic for your portfolio! just google it :)

[turbofox1980]

Yes, she has a channel called lonelygirl15

[pugvideogirl47]

Is that girl Jen K from Greek?

[Johnmartine63]

It's funny and the meter is close enough for government work.

[FantasyDreamerXOXO]

You know the Jesus thing? Its SOOOOOO OMG U R TOTALLY LIKE WILL ROT IN HELL SERIOUSLY EVERYONE BELIEVES IN CHRIST OH MY GOODNESS FUCK YOU!!

[dufusjunior]

@FantasyDreamerXOXO

I dont believe in Christ.

And a lot of people don't.

Ergo, fuck you.

[EddieTheFishReturns]

@dufusjunior: "Ergo" is a beautiful word. Put that on Stephen Fry's Twitter, and he'll love you to pieces! :-)

[nathanwallacei3]

@FantasyDreamerXOXO everyone ??? a few billion asians might disagree

[Simonxp911]

LOL!!!

Hillarious but the lines do indeed lack syllables or have too many several times and the rhymecould have been better but it is still a funny concept

[Simonxp911]

LOL!!!

[ProtonV8]

Excellent work! I don't think anyone on YouTube has topped the sheer cleverness of this since I first enjoyed it four years ago. I hope you went on to bigger and better things in the field because you're brilliant at this.

[Condition1Latin]

This is all it takes to become a popular whatever youtube model....ok

[crusher1427]

Search for 2% milk the rap and pause at 1:14 , I knew I saw this girl somewhere

[crusher1427]

search for 2% milk rap and pause at 1:14, I knew I saw this ho somewhere.

[darthspeaks]

An attractive girl doing stupid stuff = high views.

[lewdubbin81]

wow she is a cutie,,,,,,

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Original and entertaining. Thankyou.

[lewdubbin81]

@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 wow cares is cute

[WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

@lewdubbin81

your comment makes no sense.... but I agree, she is cute

[odinoneeye]

Off beat and a bit strange, but it was funny and you didn't do too bad with making your own lyrics, plus you mentioned the Colbert Report so that's worth some brownie points in my book! :p

[conkt]

You have no sense of rhythm, and you were consistently off-beat. 1/5

[Alianna013]

i liked this video.

[rbmaserang]

pretty girl

[Kainpax]

fuck you.

[vernination]

It sounds like you had Safari read the lyrics out loud over a karaoke version of G&S. Really, really bad.

[Gilgamesh32]

You are a very talented writer, but...

Try to find some other youtuber who is a good singer. Then you can make a youtube superstar tagteam.

[MrSebastian859]

I know what´s going on babe? you´re pretty!

[netholor]

hahaha "antarctic arctic uuuuh"

i like it ^_^

[Superipodtouch]

o.O?

[bodmus]

i liked it I liked the idea so it lacks a bit of finesse so what - th idea made me laugh and lots of it was funny and sassy well done!

[XMaster4000]

I still cannot believe thousands were fooled by that girl

[gillyssquashball]

I can't believe some limp dick did this...

[lorelome]

Needs a revamp for the lyrics, but nice idea.

[PiperPeraboLove]

good idea but DESTROYED by terrible execution of lyrics! this deserved far better vocals and timing

[limeo19]

wtf

[LuvIsSin]

o my god...

a least get the music to sound a bit good.. :|

[Johnmartine63]

It makes me laugh, I am also a big G&S fan....

[XlightassassenX]

She is really adorable :)

[poopiepancakess]

this . is . lame? D:

[Dwarfmanvash]

too true, too true. it's vary funny and original I like it.

[x378hot]

i dont get it, but i likeee

[ccoffey30]

For all of you morons out there who are criticizing this because it "sucks" or because it's a "self-centered cry for attention and popularity", look into it first. It's actually a very clever parody on Gilbert and Sullivan's "Modern Major-General" from Pirates of Penzance. So shut the fuck up, this is funny.

[onerichie]

I think most people are aware of that, the reason people are saying it sucks is that there are far too many syllables to most of the lines which means it doesnt fit the original tune.

[kirstinxxcouture]

Haha that's so good !

[SingularSuperNinja]

The number of syllables in the majority of lines are... well... wrong! As a result it doesn't fit!

[bbmcrae]

Did she spend any time not mugging for the camera or desperately trying to convince you how adorable she is?

[urquhart2001]

Well, I mean, she is pretty adorable.

[THEBANSHEES02]

i want my 2 minutes and 53 seconds back please.

[crazylilyobbo]

WOW VERY cute!! haha love the faces.

[urquhart2001]

This is hilarious.  Not sure about the singing, but the lyrics are nice. Girl's adorable, not so sure about the guy.

[BellaGurl19]

I love this =)

[LordFancourt]

Okay, the "singing" is just bad. I was just wondering why you use your time to put out such self centered vids. You have some dire need to be "popular"? Look outside yourself once in a while. There's a bigger world outside of your little one.

[yellowbrickroad92]

lol this is a fan video for a web series.

[joeymartin1452]

great dfhbgbdzyhtgyfdxghiuvtyfdrvguy­xzryteuhduhhyrehgf

[talbothime]

Absolutely brilliant. Keep up the good work.

(found your video by accident...)

[RJWaters2]

Adding extra syllables in a line and having no beat. NICE

[newhousemusic007]

NIce stuff, fun , witty..young and cute. So very cute (wish I was 17 again!)

[JackAllonym]

Brilliant. Although judging by the comments I think a couple people miss the point, it doesn't matter. It's still a very humorous explanation of the LG phenomenon, and the ridiculous of all the people who still spend their time trying to berate it.

[aoeuPrime]

Yes, but it still fails to scan.

[JackAllonym]

Huh? Scan what? (Also ridiculousness* -that was buggin' me)

[sirjarhead]

i think daniel wants to be more than "best friends"

[Alli056]

hahahahah

ohhhh a remix of general!!

i love the pirates of penzance!!

"i am the very model of a modern

major general"

:]

[stuball78]

Thats is such a cool vid, you done well with premiere.

[coughotie]

are you from greek?

[mortalfloater]

This is as funny as butt cheeks! And butt cheeks are funny!

[johnny981171]

lol thats so funny and the girl is so hot HOT HOT HOT HOT!!

[Dylanhennessy]

f**k the haters, this made me laugh.

[onerichie]

almost every line of this song has too many or too few syllables and it sounds bloody terrible due to that single fact

[texgodiva2s]

Haven't a clue what possessed you to amuse me, however Thank you very much for the various takes on Pluto being 1/2 the size of Antartica --you've quite the odd outlook & thanks for sharing--darlin' boy conspiring with you, great fishy lips

[Jettox]

Great idea, I applaud you for trying it out. The execution left a lot to be desired though...

[RavenBettyBlue]

the girl has strange eyebrows... and this song is just awful... I'm embarrassed for the makers of this vid

[MrHairyNutz]

<---3000'th Vote!

[TCFan25]

Seen it, and doesn't phase me one bit... The 2012 enigma is over-rated. Watch David Wilcox and be amazed!!

[Samhobbit]

lol seeing as I am neutral on who this was "about" I think that it was funny. But that's just me.

[RazorShultzor]

the singing sucks, i thought the woman was going to sing. I guess her only talent if it can be called one is being good looking, considering she can't act, sing, dance or say anything smart

[Riotgrrill]

EAT A TURD YOU HEN

[johnny981171]

lol funny

good job i guess

how old are u lol

[Mehandstuff]

the effort to good ratio on this is absolutely awful

[pimpmonkette]

good job yo. though you probs should have gotten someone else to sing it for you, since you're tone deaf and have no sense of rhythm. lol but really. good job.

[fishtaco29]

this is just bad

[Oiaku]

"My videos can't suck! I have millions of views! Who cares if over half the comments consist of death threats, and the other half simply of defamatory remarks regarding everything I have ever done? All attention is good attention!"

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

Kill yourself

[XMaster4000]

"Commenters keep insisting my existance is questionable"

I remember those days...

[MegaEduX]

You are just... beautiful!

[MANdouche]

did you sing wit audio preview you fig?

[sponger46]

Funny stuff, good distraction from work!

[fhoward2]

fake; look at 1:34

[SZF123456]

yur A CUNT

[killingthehope]

i hate you and hope you die. go ahead and delete this comment you bitch

[milowent]

[Nogeri]

Noo

[Nimnoms]

[veltro75]

Genital herpes like a motherfucker. Word son.

[SomethingAwfulYT]

[ShinyMarshtomp]

[krysalist]

Hey did anyone ever tell you you look like Lonelygirl15?

[ceddan]

this sucks you suck

[WindupAtheist]

Lame

[bonertown15]

What a piece of dog shit.

[syntheticgod8]

The lyrics were terrible

[saulthemagnificent]

Well... it could be considered clever, but the fact that the voice is male, not female, was off-putting; that it was sung off-key made it almost unwatchable. Try it again, though.

[abcdefg37999]

my fav wat 1:15

[JonathanBloggs]

Poorly composed. Lyrics don't rhyme or fit.

[ipodnano4g8g]

was that ur boyfriend at 0:07

[volleyballqt123]

what is this???

[ladypiinkxo]

Who's Lonleygirl15.. Everyone talks about her.. i have no clue who she is?

[43837388]

Your fun =)

-Scott

[Adureeem24]

lmaoo great video

[Muffinman10123]

Mediocre

[SavoyTruffle78]

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

[triplethreat669]

You look a lot like Jen K from Greek

Actually you look pretty much identical

[SavoyTruffle78]

That *IS* Jen K from "Greek."

[Cobalt258]

lol, bravo.  Well done.

[ctufc]

WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING SHITE

[llana34]

[cruelangel7]

LOLZ! teach me your weirdness!! you are a true master and I prostrate my self at your feet, oh mighty youtube auteur! teach me your ways!!!........um...I need help

[dannye60]

[PollyVonAcracker]

It would propebly hawe been fun if it was possible to hear what he sings.

[jamiemarkwartcoolcat]

ilike this video lots but did you die ??? on onlygirl15 orsomething like that

[merrick00987]

4 stars- very cool and pretty funny and well done. I think Youtube cn be a great media platform. It can also be hust to share little, stupid things with friends. I think thats what youtube was designed for.

[DrewJ16]

She must be good in bed.

[ajbarnstormer]

LSD isnt good for you

'ajbarnstormer pass me the lemonade old boy'

[jonnysouthjersey]

very cute

[Santabotmnd]

CONGRAT's! on being the best youtuber. im not really not crazy about youtube.

[redusts]

DUDE I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!

[last1standing51]

ur paid to look like a dumbass how do u feel?

[Gavaroc]

This was made before it was revealed that she was fake, right? Hah!

[Hollywoodish]

Well Done...

I thought my head would explode..

[2madison2]

Hahahaha I still laugh at this. I think it's so funny

[photoactivist]

that is still freakin' funny two years later!

[sinistril]

"In fact when I was cast in a high school musical my role was quickly rewritten so that my character would randomly leave the stage right before any musical number."

Really? LOL

Well your still better than me I'd stumble over every 2nd word :P Nice video

[HerschelKrustofski]

BRAIN EXPLODE!!!

[Sithpenguinlord]

The lyrics are great, but if you get the singing going fast enough for the music, I'd be so much better.

[lee11991964]

Excellent post, very well made congrats.

[BortekTheWhinyWimp]

*nod* and he can't pronounce "amateur"..

[nadiathedinosaur]

are you stupid? its auteur, it means director

[LilDP]

LOL

[isthisLG16]

I think I have found the next LG...

not telling where though..

PS: thats kind of a challenge if you want to take me up on it??

[rain8a]

whoa that was funny!!

awesome vid!!!!

[themastermager]

I'm going to have to agree with twayne over there, regardless of the off syllables it's a creative and imaginitive vid. And very true summary of yt amateurs.

Good job i would say.

[twayneking]

Hey, that was cute. Very creative. The naysayers are no-talent hacks. I looked some of them up...

Sad really.

Very cute...

[josiex56x]

why aintu singing it?

would sound so much bttr

[coldblackrain7]

boring and annoying

[BornWithTesticles]

coldblackrain7: Excellent description.

[callogician]

I can't believe how off the syllable counts are

[ilovemycritter98]

YOU ARE SO DUMB GOD MAKE GOOD VIDS...jk your great

[Laceykat66]

This is a great effort, but if you can get near the tune stay with it.

Keep up the good work.

[cornbreadwilliam]

a huge shame this has so many more hits than the real song

[ajjoeultimate]

fadedholysoldier videos are the best videos on youtube

fadedholysoldier is better than lonelygirl15

[monkey21408]

ha ha

[NatsukoLovesHaru]

bree! TToTT *crys*

[itsallaboutmeow]

I'd get this song on cd if I could.

[sweetynott]

i watched this for the first more than a year ago and i still have the song in my head

so yeah, great job! ;)

[Classicaljazzman]

Well made, but couldn't you have at least tried to sing somewhat on pitch?

[Smkythdg]

She deserves to be a huge actress I can't wait for her to explode onto the scene with her real name. I think she has the chops.

[adcahela]

she won't make it. she's already been in a movie, "I know who killed me", and when your one and only movie was horrible, not much will follow.

[bvc3369]

pretty cool...check out the vid on "Im the very model of a modern homosexual"...its hilarious

[IvanSorath]

0_o

[LunyLovegood]

nice thats from i am the very model of a modern majer genernal. my friend and me had to know all of that by heart for drama. nice remake

[botchalism]

My mother used to put this record on right before beating me or my brother, it used to instill paralyzing fear in me everytime I heard it but now for some reason it creates intense sexual arrousal strange how time smoothes out the rough edges, eh?

[mrtndvn]

excellent, well made
