While it’s nowhere nearly as large as the world’s largest penguin, the 16″ long, 10-pound frog known as Beelzebufo was still an impressive creature. PBS Eons explains the few things we know about this giant, blobby amphibian that was native to Madagascar.

Jackie Chan has been wowing movie audiences with his martial arts mastery for more than 50 years. Among his many talents is the ability to hurdle over objects like walls and fences like they were nothing. The Solomon Society rounded up a few of these classic jumps in this fun compilation reel.

For no particular reason other than to show off their food artistry and knowledge of cheese colors, TasteMade created a cheeseburger entirely from cheese. But the creation of this burger isn’t the best part – it’s when the burger gets melted down like the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Storytravelers went on a exploratory road trip to the Riga-Gauja region in Latvia, the official European gastronomic destination of 2017, and showcase its authentic rich culture to the world in this well shot and appetite-inducing short film.

Just when you think you’re so clever, here comes Helsinki-based talent Lucas Zanotto. In his latest playful and creative offering, he’s playing around with the idea of eyes. We wonder if we’d be as sharp if we had more coffee.

The Dodo compiled this brief video of cats being mysterious and stealthy as they sneak into rooms, climb walls, and rifle through drawers. We’re guessing they’re on a quest for the secret location of the world’s largest catnip farm.

A compilation of cats who want nothing more than to come back in the house so they can make further demands of their human servants just as soon as they get inside. Our cat likes to do this INSIDE the bedroom at 4am.

Smarter Every Day talks about Facebook pages stealing videos from YouTube instead of embedding it or at least crediting the video’s creator. Facebook is apathetic about it because it earns money from ads shown beside these videos.

Want to have your soul cleaned? It’ll only take 20 minutes. Dave Hughes’ music video perfectly matches the euphoric vibe of Dan Deacon’s four-part song USA. Words cannot describe how awesome this is.

Big Lazy Robot steps away from frightening glimpses of a grim future with this much lighter but cynical take on the negative and homogenizing effects of technology. Don’t take it too seriously. We all have an iDiot inside of us.

As we all know, Al Gore invented the internet solely for the purpose of viewing cat videos. In this video, Eclectic Method serve up a heaping helping of YouTube cat vids the only way they know how – as a groovy electronic tune.

This cool supercut by Duncan Robson looks at the regularly used TV and movie trope of putting the magic touch on a malfunctioning machine to get it to work. The music really helps string the scenes into a collection.

There are tons of videos about high priced and high performance rides online, but many of them treat the cars like dainty works of art. Not Tax the Rich. This YouTube channel isn’t afraid to let supercars run free.

We wish we had the tenacity of this mailman, who probably has the most difficult route ever, which includes the likes of Indiana Jones, Freddy Krueger and Iron Man. Then again, we do enjoy laying on the couch watching cartoons.

We have a renewed interest in live musical theatre now, thanks to the emotive puppetry and laugh-out-loud song lyrics here in Wolverine! The Musical. And it’s all dreamed up from Glove and Boots. (Thanks John!)

(NSFW) We love to call out and make fun of rude people, but you don’t have to look far to find despicable behavior. Even good people become jerks from time to time; let Collegehumor explain in color and rhyme.

Directed by CANADA, this energetic video for the new song from Phoenix was shot live with two separate camera crews who kept having to run and set up for the next shot before the visible countdown timers ran out.
