Universities – where nothing is guaranteed save for debt. We usually can’t sit all the way through Ryan Higa’s hyperactive skits, but he really hit the nail on the head with this one. Formal education needs a massive overhaul.

An accurate rendition of the music and sounds of Super Mario Bros. played on a Chinese wind instrument called the Sheng that predates the 30-year-old game by 3,000 years. We’re wondering if Miyamoto was inspired by its sound.

Every time Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake get together it’s a crowd pleaser; their latest collaboration is no exception. Take a break for five minutes and luxuriate in their kooky choreography for Outkast and Drake.

We’ve seen it done with cars, bikes, and at least attempted on a longboard, but stuntman Damien Walters recently pulled off what we have long thought was impossible – running fast enough to do a 360° loop. Sonic Spin Dash IRL!

Lovers of Rube Goldberg, music and history, have we got the thing for you – a clever 90 second chronicle of recorded music, told through spoken word and a chain reaction show made from assorted musical equipment. (Thanks Steve!)

(NSFW) It turns out that for many years, the Academy Award’s most prized golden statuette had an anatomically-correct appendage. Let us now meet Henrik Baranowski, the sculptor of Oscar’s junk. (Thanks Carl!)

(NSFW: Langauge) Stand up comedian Reginald D. Hunter starts with a tired joke, then goes off on a Vsauce-level tangent trip, displaying profound sincerity and wisdom and even pointing us to a great short film. But then…

(NSFW: Language) We’ve encountered lazy pizza delivery drivers who don’t bother to come right to our door, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. In fact, he takes it to the third floor without coming up the stairs.

(NSFW: Language) Conan stepped out of his office to once again ruin people’s productivity, but he ends up making someone’s day. Watch him make a bouquet, dish out advice on giving flowers and make a wife forget about her husband.

Smooth surfaces. Perfect shapes. Palette swaps. Movable light source. Exploded objects. Green screens. Glitches. Copy. Paste. Edit. Synthesized. Created. Alan Warburton’s Spherical Harmonics is a surreal exhibition of the nature of CGI.

After sketching what he thought things looked like, Blind Film Critic Tommy Edison attempts to create user-requested objects using Play-Doh. We’re disappointed he didn’t sculpt Lionel Ritchie’s bust at the end.

Jimmy Fallon revisits his real-life Twitter conversation skit. This time he goes catchphrase crazy with Jonah Hill. Their back and forth quickly escalates when they turn into human hyperlinks until they’re abruptly shut down.

Prankster Jack Vale hung out at the 2014 NAMM convention, freaking out passersby by mentioning their names loud enough for them to overhear. It helps that everyone was wearing name badges, of course.

Jimmy Fallon’s industrious video editor is back with his masterpiece, the best edition of Brian Williams: Gangsta Rapper yet. Watch the news anchor say a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie to the hip-hip-hop with the NBC gang.

We’re reasonably certain the teeth-chattering pooch in this clip isn’t actually making chainsaw sounds, but the spot-on audio editing by Talking Animals sure makes it seem plausible. The least he could do is gnaw through a twig, right?

Steven Millward was injured falling from a rodeo horse 20 years ago. He now relies on horse whisperer Grant Golliher to help manage his herd. But despite his physical setbacks, Steven is still a cowboy in the deepest recesses of his soul.

Jimmy Fallon rounds up the ol’ Ragtime Gals on his new late night show to cover R. Kelly’s undying club staple, Ignition (Remix). We think it’s cool and all, but the audience is way too pumped up for this – pumped up for thiiiis! – ahem. Sorry.

Nitro Circus’ Aaron “Wheels” Fotheringham has pulled off some epic stunts over the years, but this 240fps slow-motion footage of him pulling an epic front-flip shot by Darren Dyk lets us see him in action like we’ve never seen him before.

Here in the States, we pretty much have two headshakes – “yes” and “no” – but in India, there’s a number of different, and sometimes confusing gestures. In this short clip, YouTuber MeenFriedChickenCurry explains it all to us.

DHL pulled an awesome prank on other shipping companies, sending around massive boxes that say “DHL IS FASTER.” via UPS, TNT and other shippers. Using special thermosensitive labeling, the boxes looked black when picked up.
