Gypsy & the Cat - 'Time to Wander'
Event hough I haven't paid attnetion to this topic in recent days due to a combination of work and that crazy Insomnia sale, hereby confrimation that this contest is indeed still open and there are still two prizes to give away. Haven't had time to check out the recent entries though, I'll be in touch :)
This looks like a job for GTCMS: youtu.be/0YQmkDDCyXQ

Catchy tunes - Check!
Animals - How about a panda and a mythical unicow?
Good-looking girls - Check!
Slapstick - Check!
SURPRISES! - The Wheel of Fun!

Non-Violent - Check!
OK, here's my entry for the competition:

This was the theme music for a popular Italian TV show of the 80s.
Catchy tune? Yes!
Good-looking girls? it depends on taste, but... I would definitely say yes, too!
There's a certain amount of slapstick as well (and funny-looking costumes!), with a little bit of 80's nostalgia thrown in (not a bad thing for classic gamers). And the silliest lyrics ever conceived by a human mind - I offer to transcribe and translate them if someone is interested ("cicale" means cicadas, by the way, so we're talking about animals after all! Sorry, no dogs or goats, but you can't have everything... right?)
I hope you find it entertaining enough.
I don't know if this video has already been brought up by someone else (another Italian user, perhaps?), unfortunately I don't have time to watch all the previous entries. And thanks for the giveaway!
Alright, here's my submission:

Leslie Hall - Gem Sweater.

(I don't think it's been posted before, but I might have missed one or two previous submissions.)

stg83: Thanks for the cool giveaway grimgroove which has afforded us a chance to see many different kinds of funny videos from all over the web. Since you said you are interested in local videos that might not be seen internationally by many folks, here is a local version of the famous James Blunt song Your Beautiful by a local band here called 4Paee. The lyrics are an exact translation with a funny play on some words in one of the regional languages of the country I hail from. This doesn't have cats or dogs but it does have a donkey. ;)

You have to copy/paste the link in the browser, apologies for the inconvenience but my situation doesn't allow me to post links. :)
Congratulations :-) Instant love for this video. You can pick a game!


One more game left to give away, still going through your previous entries :-) For the last one I might take more some time to decide, I'll admit this one is in the heat of the moment but I think that's an important decision elementt as well :-) Nothing excludes an extension of my "generosity" if there's more than one video left I really really like.
My favorite "cheering up" video that always manages to crack me up:

If you're not entertained, don't worry... I am. ;)
(yeah, it's not an actual "video" but rather a flash loop from z0r.de - if you like the video, you should check that one out)

Awesome, I am really glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for choosing it as one of the winners. While tying to pick the video based on your outline I wanted to pick something that had local flavor that made it stand out but also wouldn't be completely lost in translation for the diverse community here so this one seemed like the best fit. I have PMed you my game choice and once again would like to applaud you for this wonderful idea for a giveaway and your amazing generosity. :)

I've been lurking in this thread since the beginning! Lots of great videos and the thread starter truly is hard to beat...

It just hit me that I haven't seen this one posted (I may have missed some posts in the middle though). Lifts me up every time!

Best commercial ever:

The music is undeniably catchy, but I'm sorry there are no girls and the only animals are mosquitos... (and they all die in the end, I hope that does not count as "violence" :) )


And here's a sort of Japanese equivalent, with a bizarre guy that would give Elvis "the Pelvis" a run for his money (this time it's with cockroaches!):

Bump. Still one more game to give away.
I've got a winner in mind if nothing new pops up, but it's not of the same level as the other two winners in my mind, so I'm waiting for something that tops them.
