oh dear!....i really don't know what to say about this... :( I mean i can see why they did it...you know to make it more accessible but this does not work! The worst thing is it is 'serious' and thats what makes it diabolical.....they should have taken notes from another video on Youtube called the 'Bronte Sisters Power Dolls'...that is really good and manages to depict classic literary ideas in a fun way....check it out!

@mmyfs1 yaknow, i've actually spoken to the guy who was in the squirrel suit in this video. it's not serious (as should be blatantly obvious to anyone) but i'm not even going to attempt to argue with you.

Just in case you didn't know - this is an ACTUAL tourism video, not a hilarious Youtube joke. This is REAL. And it wasn't meant as satire. This was SERIOUS.

Yeah.

[turboskanker]

clearly you are CORRECT! i mean i can blantantly tell by EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO that whoever made it and what it was made for was intended to be taken VERY SERIOUSLY AND ONLY SERIOUSLY. everything about the rendition of this song and the accompanying visuals, whether intended for tourism or otherwise, is so obviously put in such a completely serious tone. i completely believe that you have indeed discovered the true insight behind it. i totally believe you. whoever made was being serious.

[turboskanker]

i mean really now. nothing says "you should seriously visit here and have a very serious time when you visit and not have any fun about it cause this is very serious business" like a squirrel hopping around a field of daffodils and rapping a wordsworth poem d-;

[princesskaroke]

my goodness...this is adorable, laughable and intriguing at the same time.

Wow, it's like Grace from "El Goonish Shive" meets the Kia Soul hamsters.

Having mentioned cars in context of a British production I can only add: Ambitious, but Rubbish.

0:21 "Check it!"

That's so unrap...-.-

It is kinda like my granny is pretending to be cool and totally understands our youth culture ;)

[mp23mzpop]

LOL! Wordsworth must be turning in his grave.

[CylindricalWhistle]

Having a man in a squirrel suit rap poems by Wordsworth is not, I think, the way to get people to go to a park.

[TheBloggart]

I think the rap-style does the poem justice- meter is meter, after all. I could do without the squirrel suit though, it was funny for the first few seconds, and then I just became desensitized to it.

@turboskanker There are two different senses in which this could be 'serious'. (1) It has a sincere respect/affection/reverence for the original poem, its subject matter *and* for rap music. It isn't trying to satirise, mock or belittle anything. (2) It isn't intended to cause mirth.

The video is "serious" in the first sense but not the second. It's stupid but *not* intended to imply the stupidity of something else - quite the opposite. This is what constitutes 'lameness'.

[chalkcoat]

it must be nice knowing this is the first video that comes up when you type mcnuts
