"Let's Jab" Videos

Also known as "Abuse of YouTube's Public Annotations Feature".
"Let's Jab" videos are essentially a series of "Let's Play" videos with the Public Annotations feature enabled, so anyone who watches the video can leave comments on the actual video. The result is like an MST3K-style riffing only with text boxes and word bubbles instead of any real voices. The annotators also get pretty creative with their use of the annotations, and there are several references to Sierra games. Even though the commentary is about 79% crude humor and sexual innuendos, it's still pretty amusing.
Let's Jab Fable (no, not that Fable -- the 1996 adventure game Fable. Despite its beautiful graphics, this is truly a bizarre, confusing game, which naturally makes it perfect jabbing fodder.)
Let's Jab Kyrandia (not as good as the Fable "jabbing", but still pretty amusing, especially the running gag with the gems talking to each other.)
Here's a much shorter video in the same vein from Mask of Eternity that I also thought was pretty funny.
And I've got to say, I love this guy's YouTube name. It has to be one of the most unabashedly honest usernames I've ever seen.
