At long last! The votes have been tallied and checked for shenanigans, and we’re happy to present you with the results:
Coming in at 5th place, with 6% of the vote, Sword Juggler Guy.
Taking 4th place, with 12% of the vote, Mr. Don’t-Try-This-At-Home, Lightbulb Chewing Guy!
Right ahead of him, with 12.5% of the vote, Amadeus himself, Backwards Piano Playing Guy! in 3rd place.
One of our personal favorites took 2nd place, Star Wars Theme/UniPiper Guy with 28.5% of the vote. And for all you who didn’t turn in a video after our kilt-wearing piper set the bar so high in the first week of the contest, it seems there’s a lesson to be learned from Ms. Arm Rotating Girl, who was one of the last to submit and wound up with more than 30% of the vote and FIRST PLACE! Congrats to all our winners!
Now, before you go jumping on our necks in the comments, don’t forget the ‘O’ in GTFO stood for “Otherwise.” That means it wasn’t JUST a talent contest. Keep that in mind for our next GTFO contest, coming next year! Meantime, winners, please drop me a line (david ‘at’ neatorama.com) and we’ll get those prizes out to you.
Last day to vote!! Arm Rotating Girl has taken the lead by A LOT! And we just read in the comments that Star Wars Playing Unicycle Riding Guy has decided to sell his iPad, should he win, and donate all the proceeds to Gulf Coast cleanup!! WOW! The gauntlet has been dropped!!! Cast your vote and help us pick the 2010 GTFO Winners now!
Take a look at all 14 videos and place your vote for the best. (“Best” being defined as however you see fit. The worst? The weirdest? The one that made you giggle the most?)
What’s at stake? An iPad and serious bragging rights for the winner, plus lots of fun runner-up prizes for 2nd-5th place.
Here’s two videos to get you started. The other 12, plus the poll to cast your vote, are found after the jump below.

Hello Neatoramanauts! I’m excited to announce that we’ve launched a nifty new collaboration with reddit on finding the best talent on the web. As Ana Lilia explains in the YouTube clip above, our Great Talent Fantastic or Otherwise search not your usual talent search: while we’re looking for Neatoramanauts and redditors with amazing talents, we also want to find those with the most unusual and odd talents that mainstream media don’t appreciate.
If you can belch a Lady Gaga song, juggle forks while doing acrobatics, lick your elbow (try it) or do other (nearly) impossible things with your body, then you may just win!
Grand Prize: 1 Apple iPad (or monetary equivalent if you’re outside the USA)
Runner-Up Prizes: 5 reddit Alien 4GB flash drives, 5 reddit evolution posters signed by the entire reddit staff, 5 $50 shopping sprees from the NeatoShop.
