Not sure if you have all seen this one already but I had a good nervous laugh, I have only flown static so far and am waiting the snow.

Good find!

Laugh track would be cheezy if he wasn't funny but he is.

This guy even makes me think of George Plimpton a little bit... only this guy is really funny. Watch his other expose youtube films.

( Plimpton was TV's premier interactive film journalist who tried many sports and pursuits firsthand , spending sometimes months at it.....then talked about it on film- not what he observed- but what he experienced participating-often to the point of achieving some competence in it.)

This guy here-Rick Mercer- may only flounder at what he tries, but he is really funny talking about what he's experiencing. Makes for some entertaining videos.

A Canadian with some Hollywood potential!
