Short video makes fun of to-do list mania
This video is oh-so-wrong, but I got a good chuckle out of it, especially since I'm a list freak. (If I complete a task that I forgot to add to my list, I'll add it to the list after the fact and then cross it off.)
Terrific music by Patrick & Eugene is called "The Birds and the Bees" (Via Random Good Stuff)

Eerie.
*cue sound of crickets*
Haha. He looks a bit like a friend of mine.
haha, I totally do that too. It makes you feel so much better when you can see what you've just done, crossed off on your to-do list :)
He's getting things done!
But... but... if he does that at the end, how is he going to cross it off the list?
Guns don't kill people. To-Do Lists kill people.
I can't decide whether I like the banana or the water more.
He was just all so efficient about it.
@ Lightfoote:

Remember that phone call? Someone's coming over to check that thing off the list for him.
Or something.
Is there an opposite to the to-do-list guy? Because that is me.
This easily reminded me of my favorite Kids in the Hall skit: "Things To Do."
Kevin: "Things to do, things to do today. Got a big day ahead of me, several things to do. Gotta' keep on top of my life, gotta' keep on top of my life. I have seven things to do. Number one: Banking. Number two: Pick up dry cleaning. [He walks into an old lady and knocks her down.] Okay, ya just knocked over an old lady, keep moving, ya got seven things to do...."
The whole skit can be found here: :)

It just needs a little splatch of CG blood at the end to make it properly authentic (in order to get all the way up to 100% wrong).
Comment #7!
Perfect!
You do that too, Mark? Many's the time I'll be in the grocery store and say, "Oh, shoot, we forgot to add peanut butter to the list." A moment later, with peanut butter in hand, my sweetie says, "What are you writing?" I say, "Peanut butter." While she's laughing at me, I cross it off.
#10... "Is there an opposite to the to-do-list guy? Because that is me."
I would echo the sentiment modifying it slightly to say, 'Is there an opposite to the to-do-list guy? Because that is MY WIFE'. I swear, I don't know why we can never find anything that was just there five minutes ago, or leave on time...
Ooops, I said too much. I'm doomed. Don't read this...
I'm somewhere in between, I suppose.
I rarely make lists when I go to the store, and I always regret it later.
On the other hand, I'm the type who nearly always shows up on time and I get frustrated with types who invariably come dragging in twenty minutes later.

And remember you can't fix the car without a whole, lotta, milka.
(yes, different skit, I know)
Serious LOLs. This made me so happy. :D
This is what it feels like, honestly, when I am not having enough Slack.
THE SUBGENIUS MUST HAVE SLACK!!
-Rev. Baz Otherwise
hahaha oh god
I love coming home from work and watching youtube videos late at night
Oh Geez, 7am and I get to watch this. LOL. Great set up, great resolution! Very good "Gotcha."
I want to punch that guy in the face. Srsly.
Took me a minute to place it, but the music from a
cute car commercial from a couple years back – the Volkswagon Rabbit. Ridiculously catchy.
Well, was also used in, I should say.
I love it! That guy's great.
...and Mark, you are not alone in your to-do list habit. I'm so ashamed to admit it, but I will also add things just to cross them off.

Thought the same thing as soon as I read the title. Thanks for posting the link !
Love the myopic zooms that open and close that skit. ..and the clash between the two opposing plans and characters.
"..gotta' keep on top of my life, gotta' keep on top of my life."
"..or this'll happen to you"
I make To-Do Lists, then I completely ignore them.
...and that was how Wesley Crusher met his demise.
The End.
Poor Wesley. LMAO! hahaha
Depending on my level of panic/need for control of my life, I will start a list with "Make a list."
I love this video.
"(If I complete a task that I forgot to add to my list, I'll add it to the list after the fact and then cross it off.)"
Please add "Get professional help" to your list.

I love this video.
I find it very disturbing that this kid resembles the Baltimore shooter.
Very cute video :) I am also a compulsive list maker. I have several online lists, a million spreadsheet lists and an entire notebook of lists :) I also keep lists on my calendar! I blame my husband but i was already hopeless long before I met him :)
Sorry if this was clear to all but should give credit to the "Cubicle War" guys for this.
See "to-do list" on http://baratsandbereta.com/videos.html
Funny! But i have to admit I love my lists. Recently discovered a site called gubb.net, a to-do lister's heaven!
