Okay, I'm sure by now everyone has heard of the ice bucket challenge to raise awareness for ALS, so I am just collecting the links here for my own amusement ;) And for those who haven't seen those videos yet. They reached my corner of the fandom now.

It started with Robbie Amell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imh4TefmB6U



Who nominated his cousin Stephen Amell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwNpd-QLnC0



Who of COURSE nominated John Barrowman, and this video has style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2Dvove7VT4



From there it wasn't far to Colton Haynes and Emily Bett Rickards (and somehow John and Scott sneaked into this video again so don't miss it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9CuHdvXPFE



John also nominated Misha Collins who so far tops it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUkKxPXB-Eg&feature=youtu.be



And let's not forget Tom Hiddleston (who nominated Benedict Cumberbatch, bet my friend is waiting for THAT to happen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzmNI1JFOnM



Edit: Benedict has joined now! That was funny! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOa7ZjxRuKM

Great ;) I wonder who he will nominate.

I really only heard first about it when Stephen Amell was doing it. But it has reached German sportsmen as well now.

I can't stop watching John's!

I don't have to do that, I have friends who do and then share ;) So it only reached me in the evening after I was home from work. But I see it retweeted and making the rounds on FB now as well.

A little but not too much off topic (since he nominated Benedict) I watched Tom Hiddleston's again and noticed (again) that he also has a great voice.

What a nice collection! :) Maryanne and I are really loving JB's challenge results, and are also waiting with bated breath to see if Benedict comes through. :)

On a personal level, I am so grateful this "challenge" is taking off. My father died from ALS 8 years ago and it's a brutal thing to witness. There is no treatment and to get a diagnosis is to get a death sentence. To see so much awareness and money being raised is awesome!

I read somewhere that Benedict has said he'll do it when he finds time. So he is in. I'm sure lots of people wait for that one ;)

Everyone of those does a little extra funny twist, so not one video is the same like the other. My friend says there is an Wikipedia entry with a list of all videos, if you want to see more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Bucket_Challenge

I'm so sorry to hear that this was the cause of your father's death. That must have been hard. It is incredible that Stephen Hawking has lived so long with it. BTW do you know the movie where Benedict played Stephen? I liked it.

Saw Misha's today and instantly had to follow him on Twitter. That is one funny, demented guy (with cute kids.)

John's and Misha's paths have crossed a few times at conventions in the past and the two seem to have much fun with each other. Do you watch Supernatural? I don't, only a few episodes my brother gave to me. One was about the whole Supernatural world suddenly being a TV-series and Misha played himself. He was tweeting a lot LOL

My friend just gave me a link with a list of all videos, in case you want to see more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Bucket_Challenge

John and Misha seem to have such similar personalities, so I'm not surprised they get along.

I've watched all nine seasons of "Supernatural." I know the ep you're talking about. It's hilarious and so is his performance in it. It's basically a send up of how much he's known for being on Twitter.

Thanks for the link. :)

I also have seen the one with the Supernatural convention, and the one with the time loops. I also love when they make fun of themselves. There are some funny episodes in Stargate as well, with the fake "Wormhole X-treme" series.

Oh, and here is Benedict's ice bucket video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOa7ZjxRuKM

Me, too. I love when they are in on the joke and respond to the fans in a fun way.

Thanks for the link! Saw it earlier. Was so funny and cute.

It's hard to keep up! I just saw Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Everyone has their own little twist!

LOL. Yeah, people are coming out with them left and right. Haven't seen that PS/IM one.

You're welcome! This one is also really funny. Everyone of those does something unique with the challenge. Now we are all waiting for Benedict Cumberbatch. And personally I want to see John getting revenche on Scott LOL

Yeah, a few seem to forget to include what it is all about. I also have Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen for you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUFqK4CPb7A

And you know, I realized that a while back I bought 1:12 miniature ice cubes. Really. I have no idea why I did that but now an idea is forming in my head... after all Kermit and R2D2 already have done it as well...

Hi again. These are way more entertaining than they should be. Has David Tennant done it yet? I haven't heard anything...

From: [identity profile] dieastra.livejournal.com
Nope sorry, haven't heard from David Tennant yet either. I'm sure it will make the rounds if he does. Just wondering whether he even got the invitation, as he is not on Twitter or any social media. Then again, Benedict Cumberbatch isn't either.

Have some new ones from Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen instead:

I'm seeing a pattern regarding scantily-clad men :)

Anyway, maybe he's busy or something.

I love all the ALS Ice Bucket Challenges. Been having a ball watching all the celebs do it and compete with each other. Brave bunch of people!

Me too! Such great fun. Everyone does it very uniquely. I also have seen videos with Kermit, Homer Simpson and R2D2. I simply love the creativity.
