    In my honest opinion they are well funny, and so do many people who watch them think they are, although hes gone through alot he shouldnt sue them it was only a joke.

    My favourites have to be "Terminator 3" and "Every Jedi Has A Semi-Retarded Clone" last one being the best .

    I do think the edited version take the p*** more than the others and would humiliate him more but you still got to admit they are pretty funny lol.

    I never said they werent funny - its just a pretty awful thing to do to somebody! I always thought he put the video on himself so i had my fair share of 'lols' but its very very harsh!
    Leaving somebody metally scared is horrible!

    I liked the Matrix one best

    I always thought he put them on there himself thats why i thought he was a silly bugger, but not long ago i found out his mates did it and i do agree with you. So many people who have seen this and make fun of him, must leave him mentally scared and i feel sorry for him.

    But then again it was down to him making it, i mean who in their right mind would make a video like that and not burn it?

    lol he's become a living legend he should thank them. I did a star wars vid a couple of years ago which can be found here, you'll need the divx codec to view it, I'm the one on the right. Thankfully I don't have that awful hairdo anymore
