I appreciate the suggestions, but the movies mentioned in this thread were all nominated for Funny TAS (and in some cases won) so I'm already familiar with those.
Let me know if you think of any others.
Thanks a lot.

I'm thinking about doing a video about the funniest TASes and wanted some input on some of the funny runs that have been submitted.
I've been using the Funny TAS Award nominations for the last few years as a guideline, but can anyone think of anything particularly funny that was published before 2007, or that was never nominated?

With this one, the splash screen just appears, and the music keeps going. I'd like to know if you can still actually move Mario during this (watching x/y values).
I'm fairly sure it actually did execute the ending. The ending screen normally doesn't play music, it just lets the end music continue from the previous screens. This is doing the same thing but the last music played isn't the ending music, but the level music.

Also, as for my personal opinion, I prefer THE END, since it's more like the game just gives up trying.
Yeah, I just love how it springs up completely out of nowhere. It's so anti-climactic. It took me completely by surprise and had me laughing like crazy.
Why would anyone prefer an extra 5 minutes of credits that we've all seen 100 times? In fact, I'd say it's even more impressive that this manages to completely skip all the credits and go straight for THE END. No other TAS has been able to do that before. That just seems technically superior to me.

this ending doesn’t feel like an ending, it just makes me go “what?” after having watched mostly boring movements
Man, I can't even BEGIN to understand how you guys found this boring. The big "what" is part of what makes this so funny. Stop being a pedantic robot about what a "true ending" is and just enjoy the hilarious insanity.

It was cool, but I have to say, I really hate how the sound channels kept getting messed up and only playing out of one ear. I find that sort of thing physically painful because I have a weird sensitivity to that sort of stuff. Is that a recording problem or does it actually happen in the emulator?
I noticed that too. I thought it was an issue with my speakers.

I'm loath to suggest anything obsolete the already hilarious UMK3 run but if anything could beat it, this can. This was amazing. You guys even made Motaro and Shao Kahn interesting.

Voted no. It was really entertaining, but I felt the criteria is too iffy. Saying zipping is not okay, but terrain ejection or whatever is okay, seems way too narrow a distinction.

Should we also care about enemies who jump into bottomless pits in stage 1? How about those who get scrolled offscreen in stage 3?
Oh come on, that's way different. You're comparing enemies walking into a pit to the player directly causing an explosion that kills people.
If you did a pacifist run of Doom and you shot a barrel, blowing up a bunch of zombies, it wouldn't be called a pacifist run, and that's pretty much what happens here.

Objection: When you blow up the robot thingies in level 2 the explosion kills troops who are standing near it. A true pacifist run should wait until those troops have disappeared offscreen so they don't die from the blast.

This was pretty entertaining all the way through. Nothing super-amazing, but I imagine it'd be a lot of fun to someone familiar with the game. I particularly liked what you did with the Olympic events.
Yes vote.

Voting no, because the entertainment level wasnt up to par with other sports game "playaround" on this site.
...? Seriously? That's it? That's not interesting at all.
