They're so pretty once you finally get them up. You may feel like a Griswald in the process, but we've all been there. Hopefully you test them on the ground before putting them up.
I thought that video was edited. If one guy did do that. Props to him.
It's on TBS right now. I laugh every time I see the Christmas lights fiasco.The whole Christmas light segment in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation makes me crack up laughing every single time. Hilarious because it's so true. My neighbor has left a strand of lights on one of the trees outside his house for the past like 5 years. (Granted he also has gotten complaints from the neighborhood because of the rusting crap he keeps in his back yard, but that's another story. )

Are those extreme Xmas lighting cultures USA things? I am not sure if other Western countries are doing the same things.

the unpolarized plugs (small prongs guys) fit in any polarized (or "small, big prong thing"). So, I guess you're trying to go from one section to another with an extension cord? (i.e. trying to plug the cord into a string of lights...). It bothers me to no end when I find a string of lights that either won't accept a polarized (but ungrounded) plug or that just doesn't have a plug on the other end for hooking up the next string of lights. GRR.Which doesn't work for Christmas lights since they all have small prongs, male and female side. It doesn't make freakin sense. I gotta turn it on in 2 places which just pisses me off.

If turning the light on in two places bothers you, you really should consider keeping the lights on separate circuits and just invest $30 in a pair of timers, one for each of the branches of the lights, so you don't have to manually turn them on and off.
My outdoor timer is my friend from October to January

Yea that's what I meant, connecting 2 sets of lights. I think I just might buy a short strand of lights and take out the bulbs. That's the easiest solution I can think of. I already have one timer, I don't really want to buy another one, but I guess that's also an option. It just pisses me off that they can't make an extension cord that can connect 2 sets of lights.
