The sound isn't quite right (i.e. its a little over the top and too loud at times), but that doesn't detract from watching it. A great upload, thanks donovan

It’s that time again everyone. The BestOfYoutube quiz: In which time frame of this video does Dave appear? The winner will get an honorable mention from Dave himself.

I think this is one of the best videos ever uploaded to BOYT. Kudos Donovan!

  Agreed particularly with the average upload on here.

Beautiful. P.S. JC, the back of the head of a young Dave is clearly seen at 4:17-4:22. I wonder if he still bears the scars of that parasol jab?

  That was JC jabbing me out of the frame because I was getting in the way of a great upload.

  Lol exactly right, and bonus points for for spotting me too. Back in the day it was common practice to randomly poke Dave with an umbrella.... and for some it was almost a sport. Ah :), them’s were the days.

I wonder what the story is on that moving walkway at 4:49. And it sounds like they sampled the sound of a roller coaster lift hill for it.
