Hey, indeed But it's really funny. The person who made it certainly took some time with that, it's not just "random" as many videos like that are, it shows some real thinking behind it and it's pretty good. I watched it first in the morning but now I had to watch it again

I think that video was banned from Youtube (the maker was forced to withdraw it) for a long time ago. Good to see it back.

And not to regret when it is taken away the next time, go and load the "DownloadHelper", if you're using Firefox that is, and download the video to your computer or whichever player you have with you.

I think this is a funny fanfic.

Advertising your own story? Don't sink so low. Next time just ask me to advertise it for you.

I think it's not deliberate on the maker's part, but "gaga" is actually a Filipino word for "stupid" or something. So it made it funnier for me and my brother.

Interesting, for that matter, I think I have seen it used in English in similar connection too. But who knows where it came from.

Anyway, my favourite part in the video is probably "Tell me where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him" and especially "A Balrog of Morgoth" ("What did you say?"). Put like this, the "r" sounds really stand out wonderfully

In England it is often used for someone who is senile - and apparently has it's origins in a French word for an old fool. By extension it is used about those who are otherwise demented ie by infatuation.
