The Marathoner cannot wait to show you this next video she's been thinking of, even though you're currently in the middle of watching a clip of a Tyrannosaurus playing NBA Jam with Blake Griffin on the surface of the moon. Through some synapse misfire in her brain, the Marathoner leads you on a circuitous journey from video to completely unrelated video, following up a FAIL compilation with Shark Week highlights, until you're suddenly involved in a video marathon that has about as much continuity as the Leprechaun series.

The Cheerleader has too much enthusiasm for the clip you're about to see. He'll talk up its unrivaled hilarity beforehand, perhaps even offering a genius quote or two that makes no sense out of context but that he assures you will become favorite catchphrases of yours. During the actual viewing, he doesn't even watch the video at all and instead stares intently at you to make sure you're enjoying it correctly. He then laughs unnaturally loudly at the previously teased quotes, making you feel like you should do the same, regardless of whether or not they were actually funny.

OK, awesome! Just wait until this part ... um, OK, it's kind of hard to hear what he says, did you hear it? OK, let me back it up... just turn up the sound here. Wow, the sound quality is really terrible. OK, there! Did you hear it? You did? Oh. Well ... it was really late when I saw it, and I was still kind of drunk from the bar. I guess it just hit me at the right time. Oh hey, have you seen the one with Blake Griffin and the Tyrannosaurus?
