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.
(Was it intended, that it sounds very much like the more vulgar version of GTFO?)
And I agree with lewis82. The name of the contest is weird. I didn't get it at all.
:( guess it is back to trying to win something from the tokyo flash treasure hunts. :/
I was kind of disappointed that not every submission was given it's own post as they were submitted. Only a few were. Some (like mine) were not seen, unless you actually went to the Neatorama youtube account and looked for it under "responses". It was not until the final where all videos were posted on the one page.
TBH - this is not "sour grapes" or whatever. I actually voted for radio noises guy.
Neato - I'd recommend next year having a deadline to enter your video by, then start the voting from that date. Not sure what you can really do to avoid the "popularity contest" effect that occurred this time around. I bet there's a way though!
I wins it as part of stimulus package. Everyone wins free internetz!!
(try to envision the Crocodiles from Pearls Before Swine, when you read that)
@ DrewBlood - Shocking that boobs n' glass did not win. I'm going for tinfoil eating next year!!
Dont steal my idea. You are gonna have to eat a cookie jar. WHOLE!!
Thank you
