Say Sorry for the Holidays

Say Sorry for the Holidays

From Halloween to Christmas, people love to dress their cats up in stupid costumes. Temptations Cat Treats (with the help of Sir Elton John) issued an apology to all felines subjected to this humiliation with their latest ad spot. Still, aren’t they just so precious?!?!

Hot Laps in the Lexus GS F

Hot Laps in the Lexus GS F

We were very fortunate to get the opportunity to drive the awesome new 467 hp Lexus GS F sport sedan, but our ride-along with racing expert Scott Pruett was the real highlight of our visit to California’s Chuckwalla Raceway, an off-the-beaten-path track that’s worth a visit.

EL PASEO

EL PASEO

(PG-13, Flashing lights) Filmmaker and editor Owa Barua compiled this mostly black and white montage of some of the trippiest moments ever created for the big screen. There’s one glaring omission though – the entirety of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Sold Out: Supreme’s Reselling Scene

Sold Out: Supreme’s Reselling Scene

(PG-13: Language) “It’s worth whatever a fool is willing to pay for it.” Supreme addicts make Apple fans look reasonable. The brand’s style and limited releases mean resellers get away with up to 1200% markups. Complex takes a look at this underground economy.

Star Citizen: Procedural Planets

Star Citizen: Procedural Planets

Awe-inspiring footage from the upcoming space epic Star Citizen, showing off real-time footage of its incredibly robust procedurally-generated planets, which can be viewed from up close or afar, with astounding realism. Guess it’s time to upgrade our graphics cards.

Molten Aluminum vs. Water Balls

Molten Aluminum vs. Water Balls

The Backyard Scientist has made a habit of pouring molten aluminum into things to see how it will interact with them. This time, he pours the hot metal into an aquarium filled with thousands of water-absorbent polymer beads. The resulting sculptures are totally awesome.

Build a PVC Organizer Cubby

Build a PVC Organizer Cubby

There are lots of projects you could do around your house to make everyday things a little better. Sometimes you just need to man up and DIY. We dusted off our amateur carpentry skills to build this versatile PVC storage rack, with a little help from our friends at Lowe’s.

The Original Lightsaber Effect

The Original Lightsaber Effect

Practical effects wizard Joey Shanks shows us how to replicate the lightsaber effect seen in the first Star Wars movie not using digital trickery, but the same 3M Scotchlite reflection effect that Lucas and his team used back in 1977. The spinning blade trick was brilliant.

You’re So Stupid!

You’re So Stupid!

In order to truly enjoy the comedic timing of the kid drummer in this brief video clip, you must make the assumption that the other kid injured nothing more than his ego. After you do that, it’s comedy gold.

Star Wars Trilogy Bad Lip Reading

Star Wars Trilogy Bad Lip Reading

Bad Lip Reading jumps on the Star Wars bandwagon with not one, but three videos, one each for A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, turned into nonsense with the help of Bill Hader, Jack Black and Maya Rudolph. At least Han still shot first.

Slap-off Knockout

Slap-off Knockout

YouTuber Tat2 Thowed witnessed this hilarious incident at the 2014 Ink Masters Tattoo Convention in Lubbock, Texas after two burly dudes agreed to have a slap off. This is definitely one of the most insulting ways to put someone to sleep. (Thanks RJ!)

Star Wars Shadow Art

Star Wars Shadow Art

In tribute to the release of The Force Awakens, pop artist Red Hong Yi created a series of sculptures which look like disjointed, almost random objects, but when illuminated at just the right angle, they cast shadows of iconic images from the Star Wars universe.

Mustang vs. Murcielago Drift Battle

Mustang vs. Murcielago Drift Battle

Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his 550hp 5.0L V8 Mustang RTR challenged fellow drifting vet Daigo Saito and his 650hp V12 Drift Lambo on the winding roads in and around an abandoned village in Niigata, Japan. Another awesome video from Luke Huxham.

Tarantino’s Visual References

Tarantino’s Visual References

Quentin Tarantino’s films are not only rich with pop culture references. They also pay homage to the cinematography of classic films. We think a few of the entries in Jacob T. Swinney’s compilation are coincidental, but the rest are undeniable remixes.

Truck Flipper v Bus Puncher

Truck Flipper v Bus Puncher

The latest short from RocketJump parodies the worst of Hollywood, as two studio execs face off to see who can come up with the best scene where a hero uses their fist to stop a moving vehicle. We’d punch a Super Star Destroyer if we could.

Jurassic Park: Finding the Lost World

Jurassic Park: Finding the Lost World

“These creatures require our absence to survive, not our help.” Digging Deeper argues that the Jurassic Park sequels The Lost World and Jurassic World are self-aware commentaries on blockbuster films. The Lost World‘s clues are quite telling. Jurassic World just plain sucks.

Colbert/Lawrence: Big Questions

Colbert/Lawrence: Big Questions

“You know how I could tell you’re deep? ‘Cause I’m as deep as you think I am.” The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert and guest Jennifer Lawrence take on life’s big questions, such as their biggest regrets, dying, and why being invisible is the same as flying.

Kylo Ren vs. Santa Claus

Kylo Ren vs. Santa Claus

We have two really big days to look forward to this month: Christmas, and The Force Awakens release day. To celebrate, Nerdist pitted the Kylo Ren and his crossblade lightsaber against Santa Claus and his candy cane light blade. Oh, and the baritone narrator? It’s Tay Zonday.

Star Wars A Capella

Star Wars A Capella

Jimmy Fallon enlisted the help of The Roots and the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens to each sing a part of John Williams’ Main Theme from Star Wars. And yes, Mark Hamill is nowhere to be found yet again.

Black Holes Explained

Black Holes Explained

Kurzgesagt explains the basics of black holes: how they form, how they distort time and how they dissipate in the first of a two-part lesson. Bonus points for the calm yet detailed explanation of a brutal death by gravity.

Pizza Rat Taste Test

Pizza Rat Taste Test

After seeing Pizza Rat go viral, the guys from New York Magazine decided to conduct a completely non-scientific test to see which of the city’s finest pizzerias was preferred by the rodents. Next time we’re in NYC, we know where we’re eating. And what park to avoid.

My New Desk

My New Desk

While there are many health and wellness benefits to using a standing desk, YouTuber danielgreener5 shows us one hidden advantage of splurging for the motorized type: comedy.

Animation vs. Minecraft

Animation vs. Minecraft

Alan Becker’s sentient stick figures accidentally discover Minecraft. Will the game’s limitless potential free them from their domain, or will it bring about their ruin? Part Minecraft tutorial, part adventure film, this work of art deserves all the awards that it’s inevitably going to get.
