- leontes, on 10/15/2007, -9/+130I've just written a script for the sequel!
Lungs are for breathing.
-Shots of people breathing-
We breathe to live.
-Shots of people breathing-
When we don't breathe, we die.
-Shots of people breathing-
Lungs are how we breathe.
-Shots of people breathing- - beng123, on 10/10/2007, -9/+113we are all just a bunch of monkeys trying to make some noise.
- Derrelicte, on 10/10/2007, -0/+61That...really doesn't have any answers to any questions I had about why we applaud.
- semeticstallion, on 10/10/2007, -9/+64For a piece that seems to be stating the obvious, it's perfectly shot and perfectly edited. I give a round of applause to the technical work in this segment.
- Appox, on 10/10/2007, -7/+49Kind of interesting I suppose, didn't really blow my mind or anything.
- TenebrousX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45He talked about humans applauding because we have use of our hands as opposed to apes, then the next scene shows apes clapping!
- SicSevens, on 10/10/2007, -0/+40That wasn't quite everything I wanted to know about applause...
- Zekaer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25made of win
- existent, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Should have talked about applause being used differently across cultures, like being used to scare people away in Tibet.
- patch6, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23we applaud to show emotion
just saved you 2 minutes - shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -1/+23we applaud because everyone else is doing it.
and the guy who starts it is always related to whoever it is he is applauding - FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -6/+26snore, glad i didn't learn anything today
- Tomboys, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16hahaha.... Now anyone can steal it!
- RensoreK, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Makes applauding seem more primitive once I saw that gorilla doing it
- TheCasablancan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Like they say, "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands..."
- coolcash2005, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Ya it was mildly interesting, but 3/4 of the video was simply people applauding
- tweekgeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11More "when" we applause, as opposed to "why"
Damn. I thought I'd finally get to know! - Jakesterama, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12umm...... stating the obvious much?
- splash, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Didn't you find the bits of appluase really annoying to listen to?
- forgiste, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9but... Why?! Am I crazy or did they never really get to that part?
- LessThanDan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10German is a pretty sweet language.
- ejan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I've always wanted to know why we laugh. That seems to be one of the few universal reactions.
- WiLdRiCe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6who the hell's paying this guy to study applause
- OniDracula, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6This video states the obvious and does not address the historical reasons for applause. The digg article's title "Why We Applaud" is also inaccurate, as this video merely gives a definition of applause. Even explaining that because we evolved to use our hands more efficiently does not provide reason for the applause.
- Orkahm52, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5.
- haydesigner, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7I think you were dumber after writing that.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
- Cloud7654, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5can I have a side of awesome dressing with that? to go please.
- simg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4an excellent video for anyone who likes seeing people clapping. if you actually want to know _why_ we clap a per the title then you'll have to look elsewhere.
totally lame ! - whatsgoodike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4*german yell* I've learned nothing!
- unearth, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6-Scientists have discovered that even monkeys can memorize ten numbers. Are you stupider than a monkey?
-Well how big of a monkey? - Thomaschaaf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Deutsch mit Englischen Untertiteln :D
Hehe - whatsgoodike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ich habe nichts gelernt!
- pyrotix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What I wanna know is why people used to say, "huzzah!"
- TehInternetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3... 2 minutes of my life, I'll never get back. :(
- jkarhu24, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Waste of time stating the obvious. Burried.
- mmacmu1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3same thought here
I think I am dumber after watching this - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Ficken das
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The "Dog Pound".
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I disagree. That was about 50% stock footage. The pacing was down right irritating to the extent that I had to stop watchin two thirds of the way through.
- jkarhu24, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2We applaud because others do. Rarely does applause exist in a solo situation. More commonly, it exists in large groups. This supposed researcher brought absolutely NO insight to the table with his "research." He didn't answer a single one of my questions as to why we applaud.
- dig88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1all comments shout at me----"Dont watch video!!!!!!!!!"
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1that must have been the most redundant thing i heard all though.
at least you don't hear it every day. - invertedtwisted, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4I know people usually get dugg down for comments like this, but whatever:
Leonte, I thought your comment was hilarious. It really cheered me up and made me laugh.
...Just wanted to tell you that; I can only digg you up once. - archaist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2this comment is the only funny thing about this video
- shadowsurfr1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's a Saturday on Digg. Are we supposed to learn anything?
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1He looks like that guy from heroes.
- grav80bong, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That dude in the front is a floppy clapper. What's that about? That was the only thing in the video that enhanced my life in any way.
- doublethrow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1you don't matter
- deevay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Look it's Robin Williams!
