Touching the YouTube Monkey

By Courtney Lowery, 10-17-06

Capitol High School senior Nick Andrews has a phenomenon on his hands -- his banana hands. Andrews' positively hilarious short film above has seen time on the "Today Show," and ink in the Chicago Tribune and locally, the Helena Independent Record featured the young cinematographer. His hit, "My Hands are Bananas," has so far netted 513,068 views, 2,096 comments and been "favorited" more than 4,000 times on YouTube. Watch it and you'll see why. I'm still chortling.
