NEW EDIT: This is a long dead issue. The Ska Brothrs admitted their cheating and left YouTube, for now anyway.
EDIT: TO bring more exposure to this issue, I'm reposting this to Renetto's latest video. The original video I was responding to can be found here:

---End Edit---
This is the video I honestly didn't want to make.
I was emailed asking to prove my claims that the Ska Brothers Cheat. Here's the proof.
If anyone else out there thinks this is a problem, let's bring it to YouTube's attention. 5 star, comment on, and favorite this video to get it to the top of the lists.
Hopefully I won't have to discuss this again! Better videos coming soon!
EDIT: Let me add a few comments from what I've seen in the responses so far:
-38 seconds per video is assuming that Johnny spends EVERY SECOND of his spare time at YouTube. I often go to his profile and see that the time he was last active was over 10 hours ago. Again, I'm addicted to YouTube, and I spend maybe half of my spare time here. If Johnny has the YouTube bug as bad as I do, then his average video session is more like 18 seconds each, again assuming he NEVER gets server errors. 10 seconds to load, 10 seconds to find your next video, 8 seconds to actually watch content.
-Indeed, you can't just hit refresh. That's why I know, for example, the refresher program for firefox isn't being used. He has to be using a program that physically leaves and returns to his video. A refresher can't do that, so he MUST be using a bot.
-I know this isn't conclusive evidence, but the truth is that it paints a VERY clear picture to anyone who's willing to connect all the dots here. Without an actual admission of guilt, this is as close as anyone will EVER come to being exposed.
(If more general comments come up, I'll add them here)

...and you're the one who chose to watch it anyway :-)
On an unrelated note, how did you find this video? It's from three years ago, and yes, in comparison to my most recent stuff, it definitely sucks.

I'm sort of bummed myself. The thing is, Jimmy and Johnny Ska (or Irwin, if I recall) had a few good pieces. But instead of admitting that their act wasn't perfect, and growing, they spent years pretending it was the funniest act ever, and denying those of us who have been up on stage and done the comedy thing to help them grow.
I think that it's a super brave thing to admit you've done wrong, especially after such a long time, so I applaud those guys. That took a lot of maturity on their part.

um
what?
I don't care either way honestly but why do you care so much?

Hi mythikah,
The reason I created this video (about a year and a half ago, btw) is mostly because many of my friends here are comedians, and actually happen to be amusing. It bugged me then (and still does today) that while these people are working hard to get seen, some barely amusing individuals cheat, just so they look cool. It's sad, but you're right, probably not a huge deal.
Peace
