And now, onto today's post.
I think this movie is hilarious both with and without sound. The auditioner is not only making some of the strangest and most entertaining faces ever seen on planet Earth, but is also jumping around the room and contortioning into odd poses. A good example of this is when he wraps both of his arms around the back of his head and starts wiggling his fingers at the judges as he leaps around the room. As far as the audio component, the audition is made even more entertaining by the fact that the auditioner is also singing in an extremely high-pitched, nasally voice that should never, ever be heard coming from a guy unless intentionally. (Even then, it's iffy.)
Those responsible for editing the audition recording made the video even more entertaining by not only (and most likely) cutting out the less entertaining parts of the audition and keeping only the more humorous clips. They also included well-timed shots of the judges and their own reactions to the auditioner's bizarre behavior, which were clearly expressed through their own incredulous facial expressions. Absolutely no narrative or captions are needed to express how completely abnormal this audition was.
There are three things that could have made this video better. First off, there seems to be a momentary lag in the recording, due to fault by the original recorder of the person who posted the video, that causes a small segment of the video to be lost and which also serves to momentarily agitate the viewer as they wonder if the video is going to correct itself or not. I also think that whoever posted this video could have made this audition even more entertaining to the viewer by including the rest of the audition, since the video obviously cuts the audition off mid-sentence. More humor could have been added by even just including the judges' commentary on the audition, though of course, the fact that the judges apparently spoke no English might not have contributed much to the overall experience, after all.
