Another brief fandom 50 this week.

One of those older crack fanvids that deserves the status of a classic fanwork imho: "Why is The Rum Gone", based on the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.

To this day I still quote "why is the rum gone" about empty bottles ;) The "that's not good enough!" is great Will line; also look out for suprise!Pikachu cameo and the Terminator later in the vid.

There's also, from "Dead man's Chest", a similar fanvid "Jar of Dirt" ("I've got a jar of dirt/and guess what's inside it") which includes the line "The captain seems to acting a bit strange" which even in the actual movie provokes a "how could you tell?" reaction.

According to the IMDB Trivia page, "The scene when Jack Sparrow calls Davy Jones "fish face", and sings to them "I got a jar of dirt", was unscripted and improvised by Johnny Depp, most of the reactions of the rest of the characters are real." which just makes the whole thing more fun.
