Did you record this with a potato?

When people post videos of extremely bad quality on Youtube, commentators sometimes post a question asking, “Did you record this with a potato?” This questions how the video poster ever even thought that his video was youtube worthy; videos that receive this comment are often heavily pixellated, corrupted, excessively blurry, or constantly contain text that’s too small to see.

In these comments the word potato is often replaced with something else, for example calculator..

Guy 1: *Shows a video with bad quality*
Guy 2: "Did you record this with a potato?"

recorder

A wooden instrument invented in the Renaissance, which came to its height of popularity in the Baroque period. Many famous composers wrote music for the recorder, including Bach, Vivaldi, Telemann and Handel. The recorder has Several sizes ranging from the 'Garklein' which is about 4.5 inches long, to the 'Contrabass' whish is about 4 feet long. The instrument was re-popularized in the late 20th century as a device for teaching young children about music. Unfortunately, this leaves many under the impression that the recorder is not a "real" instrument, when in fact, it is a lovely, complex and difficult to master instrument. The recorder has many names- Flute a bec, in French, Flauto Dolce, in Spanish and Blocflute in German. Many times recorders are accompanied by harpsichords, whose ”ping” sound contrasts beautifully with the mellow sound of the recorder.

Person 1: Do you play an instrument?

Person 2: Yes, I play the recorder.

Person 1: LOL! I played the recorder in 3rd grade! I played three blind mice!!1

Person 2: *sigh*

A record label, which according to Weird Al Yankovic, sucks.

This is a description of a scene from "White and Nerdy":

(On screen, there is a computer with the Atlantic Records edit page pulled up, with in big blue words "YOU SUCK!" on the edit box.)

Empire Records

Empire Records was made in the late 90's. Starring Liv Tyler and Renee Zellwegger (now both high payed actresses) It is about a record store that grows on everyone. The main story in the movie is being able to keep the store. In the end - I'm not giving it away.

hey, look - Empire Records is on - let's bake some magic brownies.
