YouTube channel Vinheteiro is a delight. Its videos consist of a Brazilian guy who refers to himself as “Lord Vinheteiro” playing music—mainly piano—while wearing a tuxedo and staring silently into the camera. He doesn’t normally speak at all, apparently because he considers his (normal-sounding) voice “very ugly,” preferring instead to look out at the viewer with unblinking eyes and a stoic expression.
Nowhere is this effect put to better use than when Vinheteiro decides to play a medley of cartoon theme songs from the past century, tracing the “evolution” of the loose musical genre by playing a lot of whimsical songs while maintaining the stern attitude of a teacher about to send a kid to detention.
