Time Travelling Charlie Chaplin Extra
There’s a lot of buzz in videoland about this particular YouTube post supposedly showing an extra in the Charlie Chaplin film The Circus brandishing a mobile cell phone.
We suspect this will be the first of many similar ’spots’ over the coming months as ‘time-traveller-extra’ becomes a new internet meme.

Make It Stop
Posted by Peter in Law & Order, Virals on October 28th, 2010
Okay, we know this site is called BigHappyVideo and that we usually focus on funny videos that we hope we’ll help go viral.
Once in a while though it’s nice to throw in a video that we want to go viral for more serious reasons. For example, last year during the protests against the Iranian election result, we posted dozens of videos captured by the demonstrators.
This video from the Met Police is part of a campaign to encourage members of the public to report domestic violence. So if you retweet this on Twitter or share on Facebook you’ll be helping to spread this very important message.
So here’s a BigHappy thanks to all those who help make this video go viral.
Zombies Attack London
Here’s dramatic video footage of this morning’s Zombie attack on unsuspecting London commuters.
The flesh eating monsters struck at dawn and stumbled through the City of London.
Or did they? Here’s the truth behind the attack of The Walking Dead – Zombie Outbreak Strikes London.

Naked Protest in Berlin
Here’s a video of a nude protest in Berlin by the radical group Hedonist International.
In case it all seems a little baffling, let’s explain what’s going on. These naked young Germans are protesting at high rents for flats and apartments in Berlin. The protests take place at viewing days for properties in the German capital. So when ordinary punters turn up to view the flat, the well endowed girls and boys from Hedonist International show up with their naked bodies on view. To spare their dignity they wear mouse masks on the their faces.
The protest in this particular video takes place in Kreuzberg – a borough in Berlin with a long history of anarchism, radicalism and squats.
Censor Note – The original video we had on this page was removed from YouTube as it was against their nudity clause. This special-effects version seems to get by their prudish censor.
Thankfully there’s now an uncensored version on Vimeo:
Hedonistische Wohnungsbesichtigungs-Rallye 26.09. Berlin-Kreuzberg from wohnungsbesichtigungsrallye on Vimeo.
Cat vs Printer – The Translation
The Cat ‘meme’ is one of the most popular genres on YouTube and here’s a fine example of why we find everything pussy funny – watch as the cat gets owned by the office photocopier.
Warning – This cat’s got a very sweary form of Tourette’s syndrome.
