Randomly Awesome YouTube Discovery Raffle!

Our family likes the Youtubez . . . probably a bit too much in the kids' case. In a different time and dimension, I was probably a YouTube vlogger or a Let's Play video dude. (Side note: The kids have been watching a ton of Chuggaconroy videos this year. He rarely swears--the kids hear much worse at school--which is why we like him so much, jus' sayin'.)

Anyway, usually our favorite YouTube videos are those that just are a bit more off the beaten path, a little strange and always cater to our unique sense of funny. Our sense of funny isn't everyone's cup of tea, but . . . whatever.

Here's five of those videos we dug this year:

1- Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.



I saw this one linked to on Facebook, and we've been singing combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell for the past month.

~~

2- Bone Daddy



This one is on absolutely no one's radar. LOL. I somehow stumbled upon this gem when I was searching for a video about the Nightmare before Christmas, and pretty soon we were watching all of Mr. Oz's strangeness. The music is beautifully painful, and now every once in a while we'll just randomly say, "It's like one bone, two head, three bone." We use it to torture the kids.

~~

3- PeaTea64 gets sand in her vidjas



I don't know exactly what led my daughter to these videos . . . if it was Megaman, Pokemon, or . . . what, but what I do know is that we've listened to this particular song about 100 times. My daughter just simply loves it, and because of that alone it's part of our top 2012 youtube discoveries. If I had to list a second video from PeaTea64 it would be "Earthbound/MOTHER Vocal - PTanna" That little tune filled our house a ton of times. /shrug

~~

4- Wizard101 for the Family



Duh . . . I was in it! ;P

~~

5- Pirate101 - Pirate Style (Live Video)



Because this happened! All the thumbs up go to Tristan Anvilcaster! (As a side note, I just found this high school's Pirate video while surfing for Tristan's video. Any school with a pirate for a mascot rocks.)

~~

I could go on and on, but you get the point! LOL.

So here's the raffle part of the post! Please post about your randomly awesome YouTube discovery from this year! (Nothing "NSFW" or inappropriate--Keep it clean!) Use rafflecopter below to enter the raffle for a chance at a free Hawkrider Bundle! Enter the raffle today (12/29/2012) and I'll chose the winners tomorrow (12/30/2012)!

My favorite YouTube discovery was The X Factor's very own Carly Rose Sonenclar. That girl is AMAZING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_dBDccruI
She's super awesome and I love her. Even if she didn't win the X Factor, she definitely is number one!

This year, I started listening to Lindsey Stirling, the indie violinist! She has composed a few of her own songs, and has performed covers of songs in unique places, as well as game covers - yes, I did ask her to play W101/P101 music about ten times, already. Lindsey is a gifted violinist and she can make anything sound unique and beautiful. I think the following video will relate to a lot of people - and, it's my favorite - The Phantom of the Opera, Stirling style.
