Beatboxing Flautist
Found this one on youvert and it’s a good’un! I mean, it isn’t often (and by often I mean ever) that you get to see some dude rockin’ his flute and beatboxing at the same time. His choice of music? The Inspector Gadget Theme and Axel F of Beverly Hills Cop fame. Not bad, not bad.
Sadly for him while it’s cool and all, you still can’t actually look cool while playing a flute. I mean, it kinda doesn’t matter what you do you’re still… playing a flute. And then when he wipes it off at the end on his shirt? They have editing contraptions to let you cut that part off!
Notice my correct spelling of flautist as compared to the incorrect spelling on Youvert. It is due to the stunning size of my brain that allows me this advanced spelling. I mean, obviously the choice of “flautist” (from the Italian flautista, from flauto, and adopted due to 18th century Italian influence) versus “flutist” is the source of minor dispute among players of the instrument. “Flutist” is the earlier term in the English language, dating from at least 1603 (the earliest quote cited by the Oxford English Dictionary), while “flautist” is not recorded before 1860, when it was used by Nathaniel Hawthorne in The Marble Faun. While the print version of the OED does not indicate any regional preference for either form, the online Compact OED characterizes “flutist” as an American usage. I, a hip guy, prefer the modern usage. Not for me the oldies.
That’s right we don’t just seek to entertain here at #comments, we seek to enlighten. Feeeeeel the enlightenment. Oh, and he also did the Super Mario Brothers theme.

I fixed the damn spelling. Just because you are Asian and it is genetically imprinted that you are superior in all things school, that does not mean you need to make us plebeians feel so darned lowly. ok, yes it does.
