FresTube: Chocolate Thunder
This is what searching "fresno" on YouTube gets you ...
I have no idea who this guy is. If anyone knows him (his YouTube account name is "ChesterDickasen"), please give him my email (walbritton@fresnobee.com). I totally wanna hang with him.
Here is this dude at a local skate park:
But wait ... there's more. Really. I don't recommend investing the full-time allotment to these videos. But while he could use an editor, I like his style -- and, he is as good a local example that I've found of why YouTube was really invented.
Here's him teaching driving school:
His love affair with an old television:
His re-enactment of how the United States acquired Mexico from California:
Him falling all over the snow:
He and his buddy having a day in the park:
He his buddy's parody of SNL's "Lazy Sunday":
Him doing a COPSesque show around River Park and at a high school football game:
And there are others. From what I can gather, I think his name is Aaron, and he stopped posting videos for a while but just brought back his schtick with the skate park one (which is how I found him -- I always search for most recent videos).
I love how his creativity really shows. And I'm glad there's a positive outlet for him.
Comments:
...Will, I'm sorry.
I think this guy does great stuff...
But everytime I hear his name 'chocolate thunder,' I think
-Chocolate Genius (probably not well know around here, but an excellent recording artist.)
does not resemble this guy (at all.)
-Chocolate Rain (no explaination needed.)
still no resemblance...
or
-Chocolate Thunder (which had completely WRONG) definitions while on tour with the band... COMPLETELY wrong, (hey, touring brings out the best (and) worst.
Very DEFINITELY bears no resemblance...
I'm referring to this gentleman as CT from here on...
(I thought the chrome german helmet was a nice touch...)
I'm also thinking:
hmmmm, Chocolate Thunder:
---there must be more to this,
perhaps he's part of a super-hero team.
-chocolate lightning
-chocolate hail
-chocolate earthquake
-chocolate winds (uh oh.)
and
-chocolate propane explosion in toronto

Aaron is correct.
This might be a little biased coming from me...but he's awesome. First non-jock guy to win Formal King, haha
we basically do those videos because although they're funny to watch, they're way funnier to film. Especially when we get to yell Chupacabra and run by people in Riverpark.

Yo this is CT. I emailed you a couple days ago and you never replied. What gives?

Mr. Thunder:
Will has been out of town for a few days. I'm sure he'll get back at you when he returns.

Whoever reads this should check out the video of him singing total eclipse of the heart, it's quite possibly my favorite

Dude, Chocolate Thunder, is the best of the best, the one and only, better than the Great Bambino, the all almighty “CT”... he’s an icon, every one wants to be him, people have made songs about him, they have bowed at his feet, asked for his autograph… people come to the high school football games for him and him alone... and I am pleased to call him a friend...
Chocolate Thunder, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, Chocolate Thunder, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap...
You would have to hear it for it to make sense…
