Jovo Anschluss made a joke during a Steven Seagal movie marathon that grew into a ridiculous, and ultimately pointless, project in which he crunched the numbers to determine how much time Seagal spends sitting vs. standing in his movies. Seagal made a name for himself in the 1980s as an action star, and has acted in 52 movies overall, although he's in the news more for his off-camera antics these days.
You will begin this video thinking, "Who cares how much Steven Seagal sits in his movies?" At least that's what I thought, but Anschluss (who refers to Seagal as "Fred" throughout the video) drew me in with his non-stop hilarious yet deadpan monologue about Seagal. The narrative gets sidetracked with a story of how Anschluss bought tickets to "A Night with Steven Seagal," and then launches into the exhaustive statistics. How could Seagal have more overall scenes standing, but have more movies where he sits more than stands? All that is explained in seven different ways, the upshot being that Seagal started his movie career performing martial arts fight scenes, but at an older age cranks out move after movie straight to home video. Yeah, none of this matters in the grand scheme of things, but the video is a crazy delight. -via Digg
