“As always when it counts, actual people are lovely. Humanity is beautiful. Why do we relentlessly ignore this? Humanity is an idiot.”

From the swearing consultant on The Thick of It, this is absolute gold.

Allow me to introduce you to the wonderful, ridiculous, inexplicable world of nonsense on YouTube

 As an authority on Online Weird Stuff, I wanted to recommend some lesser-known channels that delight and distract me.

Not only is this a great idea but the video of a Frenchperson (presumably) daintily assembling a whopper is delightful.
