If you didn't think that the Ice Bucket Challenge could get any sort of, well, "treatment" then perhaps you haven't seen David Lynch get his hands on it. If you know him, then you know this is well-worth your time.
If you're out of the fold, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has brought a significant amount of awareness not just to the organization (ALSA) but to the disease itself.
Participants in the challenge are required, if not donating to the organization, to spread the word by pouring a bucket of ice water over their heads and nominate two people to do the same. Video evidence is required.
However, the rules have changed and now it seems participants must donate AND do the challenge. It's a good way to get creative (and try not to fail) for an even greater cause. Social media be damned, this tactic has surely done its job.
Placido Domingo accepted the challenge, Bill Gates contributed, big time manager and legendary songwriter Billy Mann took the plunge and now Mr. Lynch joined the cause, too (I guess Bob Dylan didn't get my nomination yet).
Lynch is--well--his own guy and does it in his own way. He pours a bucket of "iced coffee" over his head to start (but not before making sure he has his dose of espresso added to the mix). Then, he tries to play the trumpet while a second bucket douses him.
In the end, he nominates Vladimir Putin to take the next bucket. Will he? That's if he can get it out of his (explicit content removed).
Check out the video below.
And (since Lynch fans are weird in their own right) watch it backwards if need be.
