    Default I need your help.

    Hi everyone.
    I would like to ask for your help with something work related. I work as an English teacher at an Islamic high school in Bangkok. I have found that when my students eventually wander into class they are highly absorbed in the dramas of their friendship groups. The happenings of the playground and life in general seem to continue well into my class.
    To combat this I have started using a multimedia system to show a short video from U-tube at the start of each lesson. Something funny both as a reward to the students who turn up on time and also to help focus their attention away from their friends and onto the class instead. I have found that the best type of videos to show are things that are funny.
    This is where I could use your help. I am starting to run out of funny videos to show them. If you know of any short videos on u-tube, or anywhere else accessable on the net could you post a link here please. I'm looking for videos which are at the most ten minutes long. It doesn't matter if it is shorter. It also has to be non verbal humor because they won't find it funny if they have to think. Oh, and they love to see characters getting hurt, like slap stick comedy.
    Here are a few I have tried so far.

    YouTube - Polar bear Sky Diving?


    YouTube - Bear and aliens


    and

    YouTube - Mr. Otto in Olympics



    If anyone can help me find more similar to this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks heaps.

    That last clip gave me an idea.

    That show, and probably several other crazy japanese game shows are cut apart, spliced together, dubbed, and re-aired on spike TV in the US as "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" or "MXC."

    I suspect searching youtube for either of those would get a lot of similar videos.

    Hi everyone,
    My students loved Simon's cat, but I'm still looking for something that will make them p**s themselves laughing like the Polar bear skydiving did.
    Thanks for your help.

    OK, no pressure then.

    What about something like this? There are loads like it if you type in "pixar shorts" into the search in Youtube.

    The Iceage videos of Scrat and the Acorn are pretty funny, and there's no conversation in them. Oh, and I think Scrat always gets hurt !
