LOL! I was thinking Tweety Bird.
I love looney tunes. I have always been fascinated by good jugglers.

That is amazing. Best juggler I've ever seen. For inspiration, maybe I'll try putting on "Carry That Weight/The End" next time I juggle... my finances

Half the time it looked like he was going to drop the balls, but, man, that was cool.

Yeah, and if you could have seen Ringo Starr playing drums on that track, it would have looked like he was going to drop the drumsticks.

Apparently, jugglers are a touchy bunch. One guy is pissed that this Chris Bliss guy is getting his video forwarded all over the internet with his 'remarkably simple routine.' So he created a film of himself replicating the act, only using 5 balls instead of 3, and throwing in some extra moves.
Wow!

After seeing the title I was a little worried. OUCH
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

No argument. That guy did a much more difficult and complicated routine than Bliss, and is probably a better juggler.
BUT, I'm a musician, and the thing that knocked me out about Bliss' routine was how well it matched (represented) the music. IMHO, with a few notable exceptions, this looked more like juggling with music in the background, than a routine that represented the feeling of the music. The difficulty inherent in the juggling of 5 balls prevented the match-ups to the music that I found so interesting and creative in Bliss' routine. IMHO, Bliss was more entertaining, while this guy was inarguably the better juggler.
Also, the "sour grapes" aspect of this guy's video, right down to using the soundtrack from Bliss' video, rather than doing his own, puts me off. He's been on an internet tirade since the Bliss video received so much attention. I've found his relentless, contemptuous criticism of Bliss, and unabashed self promotion, to be offensive. YMMV
