So you spent your whole weekend with a laptop gently searing its way through your lower intestine, bingeing your way through Wet Hot American Summer. So you’ve booked up every night this week at MIFF. So you blew three months of rent money for the opportunity to smugly swan around your house in Don Draper’s old bathrobe. You don’t have a problem.

This person — someone who openly boasts about having spent three months perfectly synching 280 film clips to Mark Ronson’s ‘Uptown Funk’ for idiots like me to write about and idiots like you to watch — they’re the one with a problem. Here you go, marvel at their misery:

In all seriousness, whoever did this is my favourite. Working under the YouTube account dondrapersayswhat, they’ve been responsible for four years worth of solid gold internet hits.

Then they took to compilation supercuts, like this one featuring every single one of Steve Buscemi’s on-screen deaths:

And finally, they moved on to music. First ‘Don’t Stop Believing‘, then ‘Baby Got Back‘, then this (which reportedly also took three months to make):

Please don’t do the math on all this. I’m sure this person gets a chance to see their friends and family. I’m sure they’ve been outside at some point in the past few years. And hey, if not, they did this all for you. Be grateful.
