Hey, I’m no dummy! I know that sometimes the smart thing to do is just give the people what they want and then get out of the way. And apparently what you guys want is to watch this guy doing improvisational piano songs while goofing on Chatroulette. “But you guys, this video is a few days old and has already been posted on most websites.” “Shut up, Gabe, and do what we say. We are in charge of you.” “Hey!” “You hey yourself! POST IT, LITTLE MAN!” Yikes. Relax, you guys! I’ll post it!
I’ve still never been on Chatroulette and I will continue to never have been on there. It is not for me. All I need in this world is a crystal radio set, a pocketful of butterscotch, and a soft porch to sit on. Chatroulette just sounds like noise to me. Chatroulette should cut its hair and get a job. Chatroulette doesn’t know how easy it has it. Chatroulette is weak like its mother. (Thanks for the tip, Chris, Brian, Spencer, and Weston.)

This guy is such a beast, (Pro Indeed – despite no pay lol) WOW, I wanna jam with him
Ben Folds is my hero.
Is it actually Ben Folds? I couldn’t decide.
At the very least it’s bizarro Ben Folds.
I thought it was!
But Gabe, doesn’t this remind you of the player piano you have in your sitting room? The one with the sofas covered in plastic? No no, Gabe that’s the bathroom, you know… the one where you keep the ribbon candy. Yeah, that’s it! Doesn’t this remind you of ‘Buffalo Girls’ that you’ve heard so many times from that old piano? No Gabe, the war is over…
Rumer Willis may be 21 but her crew looked 13. DO NOT SWEAR AT CHILDREN!
if this guy sees another guy trying to do the same thing with another piano, does the internet explode?
And also, what did this guy do before ChatRoulette was invented? Like, imagine going about your whole life with the feeling you were meant for something special but not ever sure what. Then one day, BAM – a Russian teen programs some destiny for you.
He’s not the first man whose destiny was determined by a Russian teen
hello every James Bond movie ever.
You have no idea how absolutely, eerily, clairvoyantly accurate this comment is.
For a dude with some serious stagefright, but a burning desire to be heard and to connect with people musically, Chat Roulette provided the perfect combination of spontaneity, anonymity and the absence of expectations.
A month ago I hadn’t even imagined such a situation, and was resigned to a life of solitary musical exploration. But now it seems like something I dreamed up as a child – my own TV show, broadcast from my bedroom, with personalized concerts for anyone interested enough to listen.
Problem is, I may have destroyed my own playground by becoming famous. Now most people on that website know who I am, thus the element of surprise is lost. And they will be stilted and self-conscious, knowing that they are probably being filmed.
But I got goosebumps when I read your comment, which encapsulates something that I’ve been trying to articulate for days. Thank you.
Strange reply structure here – I was replying to andyradicalpossumtackler’s comment a few posts back.
Laugh all you want guys, but it’s only a matter of time before Usher signs him and he starts singing songs about babies.
I wish Improv Piano Guy guy was in my family
This is cute until you realize how apparently super easy for people to film their chatroulette experience. Privacy, you guys! I’m steering clear of CR but only because I don’t want to end up in the next OKGo video.
but that new OKGO Video is OFF THE CHAIN! (right? that’s what kids say?)
I’m steering clear of CR because I have plenty of other ways to see balls.
Except now imagine some stranger has a video of your “accidentally saw balls” face. Somehow worse!
Sorry, that came out wrong. It was supposed to be in reference to someone *making* such a face, not a generalization about your face. I am new here and therefore still learning basic grammar.
Penny Arcade
NSFW?I would like to see a “Gabe and Max” installment where Gabe and Max ‘Discover the Internet’ with CR and have it be all facial reactions to people’s balls.. hahahaha
THE. BEST. I’m going back to bed. Wake me up when this day happens again.
MAY CONTAIN SWEARS! How about a NSFW heads up, Gabe? Geesh.
I love how quickly the people’s expressions change from bored to smiling and happy.
this guy’s really bringing the whimsy
Who are these people who demand you post this? Are those not by definition the people who have already seen it and know where to find it? You are being tricked, Gabe! As soon as you post it, they will (or should) say “seen it!”
I demand that you post that hilarious video of Keyboard Cat performing at Woodstock that I have never heard of and am not at all sure exists!
I got Katy Perry on chat roulette once. I nexted her after it was clear that I figured out it was her. I’ve found that it is more entertaining to check out other peoples chat roulette experience on tumblr than to actually experience it yourself.
Chatroulette never put in a hard day’s work in its life. Chatroulette thinks the world owes it a living!
T14TT? Mande can impress people with his Gande impressions!
I’d heard about this Chatroulette from my five year old son who says it’s great. I wish I had a webcam!
This one is pretty fun too! Ukelele Jesus.

Ugh, ok, sorry to have to say this but…
I get that you’re trying to please your audience here Gabe, but if I wanted to see videos my mom forwarded to me yesterday, I’d un-block her on Gmail! (JOKE! She’s not blocket! Yet!)
All I’m saying here, is that Videogum is better than this. Sometimes you have to make a choice between what is POPULAR and what is RIGHT, Gabe! That’s what that poster in my Eglish class sophomore year was about, right? What videos blogs should post? Nailed it.
I guess you’re not called Zingers for nothing.
That was kind of a Zagger.
Zingers are more direct.
i hadn’t seen it yet. i come to videogum for all my news.
Greatness:

Fake.
The whole time he was just stalling while he tried to think of something that rhymes with “Can you please take your shirt off.”
I’m really sad that this reply is so far down the thread, because it deserves all the upvotes.
Piano improv guy posted another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfamTmY5REw
Hooded jacket + chunky nerd glasses = virtually any white dude could pass for ‘Ben Folds.’ #halloween2010
Also, I suggest you go on Chatroulette. If you have no idea what a penis looks like.
