Watch three great Gong the Show performances on YouTube

Did you know that the folks at Gong the Show have their own channel on YouTube? Among other things, it features three short clips from recent shows, which are hopefully just the first of many.

For example, you can watch my brother do a monologue called “Daniel Plainview Explains a Girl’s First Period,” which preserved his champion title at the fourth show. It’s creepy, sure, but it’s also strangely heartwarming.

The fourth show also featured a great musical number by Greg Cochrane, who would defeat Jon and become the current champion a month later. The second round of each show is a surprise theme round, for which the contestants are given just ten minutes to prepare. “Urban comedy” was the fourth show’s theme, and Greg’s inspired number was far and away the funniest thing in the round.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Gong the Show Youtube channel if it didn’t have a video of Gay Gene dancing. It happens two or three times per show, and for reasons I can’t explain, it’s always awesome.
