In YouTube, anyone with an internet connection, a camera, and an idea has a potentially enormous platform for expressing themselves to the world. Consequently, most YouTube videos—like most ideas—are boring and bad. But for the long and monotonous videos below, tedium is a virtue. Like paintings by Rothko or music by Steve Reich, these YouTubes are boring and good—transcendentally, addictively, narcotically good.

In the first installment of Lost YouTube, we brought you seven videos from the internet’s weirdest, darkest depths. Here, we’ll do the same—with the caveat that each clip is among the most drowsy, banal drivel you’ll find on the site. Watch each one and be transformed.

What’s Happened to the O&K KONE Escalator ???

In Short , Very good things !!!All of the escalators at the Castle Mall in Norwich are being refurbished by KONE and this one has just been completed . It is a great job and still has the same motor and logos as before , which I was worried might get replaced. All worn steps , broken lights under the handrail and LCD display have all been replaced /fixed and this has made this escalator even more amazing than before . The green lights are a nice new addition . When the cinema opened in 2000 , the lights under the steps were white.

KoneliftmanUK is a YouTube channel exclusively devoted to short point-of-view videos of escalator and elevator rides. At the time of this writing, there are 210 KoneliftmanUK videos.

My Ideal Woman : Part II : Personality Traits

I describe what my ideal woman would be like, personality-wise. This is a continuation of part I, where I described what my ideal woman would look like.

In a video noted by the highly recommended subreddit /r/DeepIntoYouTube, one extremely cool and smart man spends over an hour discussing the personality traits of his ideal woman. Bear in mind that this is the sequel to a previous 20-minute video in which the same man discusses his imaginary lady’s looks. (Do I even have to tell you that he says “greetings” instead of “hello”?) In a way, this guy made a feature-length documentary. Good for him.

Like KoneliftmanUK, Adolfo Mateo’s YouTube channel is singularly devoted. In Mateo’s case, it’s tight shots of his own face smoking cigars and pipes coupled with meticulous descriptions of the outfit he’s wearing.

This last one is a wild card: it isn’t especially boring or long-duration—but it is a fan-made video for a Nickelback song, and it’s about two trees who fall in love. Happy Friday!
