If there’s one thing that YouTube is is absolutely indispensable for, it’s the combo video. Combo videos are basically player made videos to kinda show off how good they are at a particular game. Occasionally they also are meant to teach something or show off a combo (hence the name) but often times it’s just showing off massive skill on the internet for people to gawk at. Obviously the people performing the stunts will have their names plastered, there will be random hardcore rock music as background music, and only the most flashy moves are shown. They are also usually Japanese, because their drinking water gives them added skill in everything they do. You know, kinda like this.

If you actually needed that last paragraph because you have never seen a combo video I suggest you come out from under that rock. There are of course a wide array of combo videos, ranging from the impressive to the rather inane yet still hilarious. Note how music is a defining characteristic in combo videos of all types.

However there is nothing as seemingly mundane yet delightfully entertaining, jaw-dropping, and downright hilarious as this one right here, which was posted in four years ago. Looks like I’m the one under the rock…

I mean, aside from hardcore J-rock that makes the video hilarious is the fact that these people who spin pens have aliases. Not just any aliases, AWESOME aliases like aaaa and T Å я O. Along with the downright unbelievable pen spinning tricks themselves, the slick transitions and text intro effects are just the right touch to make this video give off that strange feeling of finding something ridiculously funny, wildly entertaining, and impressive at the same time. Finally, the credits there they show who spun what kind of pen, is pure gold. I mean if I was a pro pen spinner, I logically imagine that it would be important what kind of pen to spin but nevertheless, the idea of a G-3 mod designed for optimal spinning is hilarious to me.

Ahhh you never know what you’ll find on the internet any given day.
