Metafilter seems to think so. I suspect that the trick to accessing its nirvana is to watch it over and over and over again.

This is awesome.
You're right. The repetition helps.
@fiveinchtaint: I really like the badge on Arthur's jacket.
I'm on my seventh time. Just keeps getting better.
Who DOESN'T hate those jackets?
I think it's because right before they cut to him the first time, he had just finished jacking off.
YouTube Prozac - and not a kitten or a puppy in sight.
The pause before the laughter makes the whole thing. It really gets good on about the 8th viewing or so.
The greatest part is how, for just a split second before he starts laughing, he gets this look in his eyes like he's about to pull out a machete and chop up everyone in the studio.
Or was that just me?
@DorothyMantooth: I thought I might be the only one who saw that... Definitely gets better with more views...
crying over here! thanks, arthur!
@DorothyMantooth: Ha! You made it even better!
@DorothyMantooth: Yeah, it was like "bitch, no you didn't just...oh, wait, that's funny. AHEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEHHHEHEHHEHEHEHE!"
@DorothyMantooth: Haha. For a second he turned into one of those Haitian zombies you hear about!
I try that "then I don't need this jacket" line all the time and I never get a reaction like that. Arthur's a great audience, I guess.
@DorothyMantooth: I saw that too. AHEEHEEHEEHEE.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: The badge is to remind him he's on TV - that's good. I need one to remind me where I am too.
@DorothyMantooth: Christ - amazing!
@Colonel Mustard: Hahahahaha.
I said that once, but the rest of my fellow fireman inside the burning middle school all started screaming at me.
@fiveinchtaint: Wow. He does look like a younger version of the head zombie maker in "The Serpent and the Rainbow."
"I wanna hear you scream."
And of course there is already a "drug mix":
+ Watch video
I'm going to start trying to work "then I don't need a jacket" into every conversation I have for the next few years.
Twelve watches in, I'm trying to decide on my feelings about the co-host taking a pre-talk breath at the very end. Normally I might hate, but wrapped up in this video he's deserving of love too!
Don't make fun of m y people people!
@businesspearl: i really enjoyed this. it's only improved by simultaneously listening to ethereal, mathy chamber rock on wmbr. but seriously, i just flipped out when my phone rang (as if i was actually on meth or something).
@fiveinchtaint & everyone: Yes! He's got the vodun on him!
I think CBS's Early show can be saved.
@DorothyMantooth: Yes. That is the best part. However, I get the sense that because I am not currently wasted I am losing a lot of the finer nuances of this clip.
Here, I made ringtones: [toomuchnick.com]
I'm going to carry a smile the rest of the day just thinking about this guy's resonant laugh.
Sincere thanks!!!
Ah, the morning show I love to Haiti.
The way he says "it's gonna be hot" seems really stoned. Also, the laughter of the other guy at the end makes abundantly clear that Arthur is of often a very, very funny dude.
That's like the easiest meteorology job ever - just ignore 2/3 of the island!
Arthur doesn't even need to move.
I could totally party with these Hait-ians.
she really doesn't need a jacket
I just came back to it after about an hour.
Does not get old.
He's crying, you awful people.
@VirusWithShoes: Yep.
@KarenUhOh: Bwah!
@asketchymess: Five years after Black People Love Us, Internet comes full circle.
