Introducing Count von Weytzentrenner


Sproey von Weytzentrenner, revanchist aristocrat of the Currywurst and Hamburger stall, is my fifth character on the channel. I did about four or five pieces with him, always including a number of the effects of Windows Movie Maker that I liked to experiment with at the time. Especially the “newpaper” effect I reserved to use mainly with von Weytzentrenner.

I sing a song here, as all the other personas did. A spoof of Marlene Dietrich’s song.

Von Weytzentrenner did not start life here, by the way. He was a usenet persona prior to that, and trolled a few people as Usenet aficionados can no doubt find by using Google for groups search.

I hasten to add that this is not an attack on Germans generally, only on a certain small element that still exists in their society.

Introducing Pierre Delauney!


Here we have for the first time the fourth “persona” on the channel, after Viktor Huliganov, Thomas P. Jameson III and Peter Paczek. I didn’t do much with this character, but he is based a bit on an old French teacher of mine from school days – even some of the gags are from that guy, and I liked that teacher a great deal. I think he appears only twice, but he can always re-appear in the future. One day I’d like to do more with Pierre Delauney.

And, for those of you who are wondering where the pun is – the pun is in Polish. Pierre Delauney sounds like “pierdolony”.

Peter Paczek sings Elvis Presley!


This followed the next day from the first of the Peter paczek videos following on thematically from the first but including a Geordie version of Elvis Presley’s “Love me Tender”, called “Loov me Champion”.

Thomas P Jameson III sings “Different Drum”


Not everyone enjoyed listening to this version of Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponies’ classic, but I enjoyed singing it, so what the heycque, as they say in Belgium. You can click through and see what the follk had to say.

Here Thomas P. Jamieson III rebuts the nonsense of Huliganov, and shows how a song should be sung.

Viktor Dmitrievitch Huliganov sings “Bohemian Rapeseedy”


As Huliganov explains, in Freddy Mercury’s day they didn’t have the technology to make a viable fuel from rapeseed oil. He never lived to see the good times for the Bohemian economy. This new release of an old favorite celebrates the new biomass-based fuels which do not affect the carbon sink.

This video was made at a time when my total number of subbers was about the same as I might add in a good week now, but I think it helped to drive the popularity of the channel at the time.
