What are your impressions? There is quite a bit of penis, but there are quite a few funny/interesting people out there that use it.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I've been on it a few times for maybe two hours total. Here is what I encountered. (Results are not indicative.)

Penis - 25%
Porn - 10%
Guys (in groups) - 15%
Gals (in groups, usually giggling) - 10%
Click-Offs* - 25%
Brief conversation - 10% (60 seconds or less)
In-depth conversation - 5% (more than 60 seconds of conversation)

*People who upon immediately seeing you disconnect. Every single person who did this to me was a lone guy looking for, I would assume, a lone gal in skimpy clothes.

A penis looking for in-depth discussion, eh? Well, next time I see a talking penis on Chatroulette I will stop to chat with it.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. I’m sure a good percentage of them are looking for non-lone multiple girls in skimpy clothes.

I love this site. I talked to some bro from England for an hour. The conversation started with my roommate pointing his pistol at my head screaming that he was going to kill me. Then the British fellow proceeded to play and sing silent night on his little keyboard that he had in front of him and we just ended up talking with him for a long time.

It definitely has its entertainment value. We talked to the most non-Canadian Canadian (didn't like hockey, poutaine, curling, snow). We also came across a guy in a gorilla suit fondling a black dildo.

I wonder if people who go on Chatroulette in gorilla suits fondling black dildos go on Chatroulette in gorilla suits fondling black dildos just to give others a chance to say they saw someone on Chatroulette in a gorilla suit fondling a black dildo.

The girls were laughing like mad the other night and I went to check on them, they were sitting in front of the iMac messing with chatroulette. I sat with them for a while watching the parade of idiots, it was mildly humorous but mostly pathetic.

25%? Nah, was more like 10-15%. The guy in the above video is right, though, almost no one would "next" the girls when I was out of frame, but as soon as I moved in closer people lost their interest. Last night we talked about running it and showing me getting a BJ, but decided against it since a lot of people were recording their chat sessions.

It's an interesting concept. I played with it for a couple of minutes one night and have to admit I was one of the "instant disconnects." I have also noticed that local news shows have already started running "think of the children" scare reports about the service.

Indeed, the Piano improv video was awesome! Also amusing how nobody in that video knows the difference between "your" and "you're", but that's cool... The last guy really made me laugh

I noticed tonight that apart from me, absolutely no one in the dorm where I live is able to form a proper genitive of ‘who’ (in Danish). I was a bit shocked.

You knew it was coming: there's an app for that. Chatroulette explicit (or something). It says it gets pictures from the freaks to the hotties and updates them for viewing the pics in the app, but it's not free.

I was mildly drunk when I posted that.

Until this thread I had never heard of chatroulette and was flabbergasted at the title.

I have to the site few times and found it I guess I would say "amusing". Definitely a time waster when you're bored.
What, me worry?

I tired it a couple of weeks ago. Too many naked men, especially since I'm doing it during "late night" hours in North America (I live in Japan, time zones suck).

But what I did enjoy was talking to random Chinese people The were cool.

Also, whenever I saw a named man I just laughed and started typing about how small or pathetic he looked. Some seemed hurt. Oddly this was the same advice that was given to my female friends when they studied abroad in Japan. Just laugh at the flasher, there were several, and that usually sent them away in tears.

Heh. Our eighth-grade science teacher (at an international school in Japan) gave the same advice to the girls in sex ed. He related the story of a female friend of his who just smirked and said "I've seen better" and walked on. Nyuuuuurrrrrrrrp (accompanied by falling hand gesture).

Whatever you do, never, ever walk into a restaurant anywhere near Québec and ask for "poutain". You might just be introduced to a gorilla fondling a black dildo.

I wouldn't say "poutaine" is any closer to putain than to poutine. Dildo gorilla may or may not agree with that though.

The food as you mention is "poutine" which is pronounced as poo-teen.

The others would be closer to poo-ten, with more or less emphasis on the n.

Ten and teen don't sound anything alike in conversation of course. I'm sure most would understand you, but only after some very strange looks, or laughter.

Eug, I'm afraid you're preaching to the choir. I'm fluent in French which is why I was amused you connected his misspelled food with prostitute. To me the nasal 'n' at the end of putain is quite far away from the n in poutine or what the n at the end of his 'poutaine' would sound like.

The French speaking people I deal with usually prefer pute over putain anyway. No chance of a mixup with poutine there.

I think it's a running joke in Montreal among university students to tell anglo visitors that the food is "poutain", and I've even seen it spelled that way. I'm sure in a loud fast food restaurant, the difference between a hard n and a nasal n would be less discernible, but even if easily discernible, it's still amusing. (McDonalds in Montreal for example serves poutine.)
