Slipper Wheel Bicycle

Slipper Wheel Bicycle

No matter how many weird bicycles that The Q comes up with, he never seems to run out of ideas. This time, he created a bike that rolls on slip-on shoes instead of tires.

Red Not Chili Peppers

Red Not Chili Peppers

(PG-13: Language) Every band has its fans and detractors. There I Ruined It created this song for people who don’t like the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The George Lucas Eggsperience

The George Lucas Eggsperience

From the late 1970s to the 1990s, George Lucas was featured in a number of ad spots for Japanese electronic brands Panasonic and Technics. On their own, the commercials are a little strange and awkward, but in the hands of editor Neil Cicierega, the weird factor just hit Level 9000.

Motorized Standing Desk Drives on Wheels

While a standing desk is better for your back than a seated one, it won’t help you get any exercise – unless you can walk while you work.

System of an Indian Idol

System of an Indian Idol

Singer, engineer, and Indian Idol contestant Nachiket Lele has incredible vocal skills. While his performances aren’t traditional, to begin with, they’re not exactly metal.

Building a Motorcycle Pizza Oven

Building a Motorcycle Pizza Oven

Pizza restaurants strive to deliver your pizza while it’s hot, but that’s not always possible. Colin Furze came up with an overengineered solution to the problem.
