The more brutal the home video or surveillance cam footage, the more laughs to be had. Guy getting thrown out of the house by his girlfriend? Photocopying fiasco at the office? Dude having car problems? All fantastic, especially when synced to a popular song by some overeager fan with rudimentary production skills. Directing team Walter Robot — who are well established now as being far above the rudimentary level — pay homage to those sorts of YouTube hits in this viral video for Rob Thomas "Give Me The Meltdown." We get appropriately fuzzy and pretty standard recreations of the above-mentioned personal and professional meltdowns that leave you wondering what the twist will be. And a twist there is. In hopes you'll be as befuddled as Thomas in his cameo, I'll just say that some of it is of the superhuman and otherworldly variety. --> watch "Give Me The Meltdown"
