this dude is seriously the best. i cannot emphasize this enough.

basically some dude calling himself "k-strass" passing himself off to be an award winning yo-yo supremo has been appearing on morning TV shows across the US, just saying some hilarious shit and generally being very awful with the yo-yo (one time he could not perform any tricks because he "forgot his string") and making the hosts feel really uncomfortable and all sorts of crazy stuff. he is a living legend.

seriously worth reading/watching the whole thing. i really love the background he gives too. it is really A+ stuff.

i keep bumping into people posting links of this! it's a really interesting scenario. nobody around the internet has any clue who the hell this guy is or what the hell he was trying to do. it's hard to tell if this is just a prank or if there's more to it, since there are things popping up on the internet to suggest this is part of SOMETHING.

i have no idea what the hell he was trying to accomplish with this(if anything), but it's really excellent regardless. the tangents and shit he blurts out are great. not enough to be really alarming, but just ridiculous enough to confuse the hell out of the television people. it's a really carefully done thing he's done here.

bet it turns out to be viral for some crappy film or something

that guy is really funny

"one of my favorites is like the garth brooks of yo-yo..."

who else here had the yo-yo guy come to their school back in elementary school and for like the rest of the week they sold yoyos like THE BUTTERFLY/FIREBALL/BRAIN in the gym before school started???

hahahaha yes! yoyos were the BIG THING for a couple years when i was in elementary school. i was always too poor to afford the good yoyos though

BUMP

UPDATE:

K-STRASS IS NOW TOURING WITH NEIL HAMBURGER!!!!

really disappointed that this is nowhere close to where i live. i just hope one of the sick degenerates(sickies) that go to neil's shows records it and puts it on youtube.

MILWAUKEE THIS SATURDAY I AM THERE????

edit: I am not sure how to go about convincing my friends to come see these men as opposed to getting schloggified at the local bars with their other friends...

tell them they are opening for dane cook

jesus this stuff is awesome.  He's so awkward and complains more than anything.  His stories are so dull and depressing.  I love it.

yeah i'd love to see that show. neil hamburger was in scotland last month but i was in sydney of all the dirt so i couldn't do it.

one of the things that i like sometimes, about neil hamburger, is when he makes a joke and it's about the Red Hot 'Junkie' Pepper band.
