Loads on Youtube. This one takes the biscuit though. Why one earth would you feel the need to do this. His voice is quite amusing as well.

 
Although the above are funny the really embarassing ones are the videos that are played to staff.
When I used to do the Corporate Induction for new staff I had to do a Communications lesson and was 'made' to play a video.
This featured a man walking through a shopping centre and he's walking all over the place.
In the video everybody is avoiding him except for one person who goes to his aid and then calls the Paramedics.
I had to play the video and then ask around 30 Health Professionals what was going on in the video and why some people shunned him and all I would get was 30 faces thinking 'WTF'.
I would then have to prompt until somebody gave an answer and say 'Well done, yes some people thought he may be drunk or on drugs'.
This video is still being shown at every Corporate Induction and it's embarassing and patronising.

During somebody elses lesson they play a video of a cart with square wheels with people pushing and pulling it and then ask the same people the question "What is wrong in this video" :eek:
Once again you get 30+ faces just looking round the room at each other and I'm positive the facilitator just thinks 'None of them know again. I will have to tell them'.
 
There are some that are useful but the majority are made by idiots for idiots. I find unboxing videos a complete waste of time. Yes I know how to open the box and yes, it’s going to be a graphics card and not a great big white rabbit and oh my god look at this a cd and kettle lead. Who would ever have expected to find that lot in there?

Don't tell be there is a video to work out that today is Monday.......
 
The only instructional video I've found useful is "how to tie a windsor knot". Always have a look when I've got an interview lined up :p
