YouTube Gems Volume 8

On a slow Friday, it's time for a few videos I have enjoyed recently on the YouTube. A little peek into pop culture history.

The first time the great detective Sherlock Holmes was featured on the silver screen was in 1900. A silent short called Sherlock Holmes Baffled.(The copyright on the film is 1903, but it was shot in 1900.) A taste:


Those special effects ain't bad for 1900.

I had this bit on VHS as a teen. Recorded off CBS. Steve Martin and David Letterman at their best in "Dave and Steve's Gay Vacation." It really is an homage to silent film comics like Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton.



Pearl Jam covered Elvis' "Little Sister" live in Vegas. Incredible.



Some vintage nature photography. An epic battle. Tiger versus crocodile.



In 1956 the mystery guest on What's My Line was none other than the great Walt Disney. Jerry Lewis is here as well. I often feel that I am in the right place, just the wrong time.



Have a solid weekend...

Your blog rocks. What a great way to start the morning. The "Dave and Steve" clip was awesome, and Ive never seen the Sherlock Homes clip. I didn't realize that film existed that far back.
