The Brocial Network is a mock trailer that parodies The Social Network by exploring the elite world of bros, drinking, and all-out fratastic-ness (also known to some as craptastic-ness). (Thanks Colt!)

Graphic design student Luca Lago Batmanized several Star Wars characters. His conversion process was pretty simple: give a character bat ears and add “bat” to its name. It’s super-effective!

The people who made this squirrel maze built it in installments over a period of two weeks. When the rodent mastered the first part, the maze was extended, the nuts placed farther away, and so on.

A cover of Kanye West’s All of the Lights by The Portland Cello Project. We would have had goosebumps if we heard this live. At the very least it’s a version without Fergie’s lame-ass rap.

You’ve got to hand it to Jack Vale. He’s perfected the act of messing with people’s heads and getting away with it. This time, instead of speaking in tongues, he just blows some soap bubbles.

You don’t have to be a Final Fantasy fan to appreciate YouTube user michaelcthulhu’s huge weapon. It weighs 54lbs. and is at least 8ft long. Contact him and he’ll gladly make one for you.

The Gregory Brothers songify US President Obama’s State of the Union Address, setting it to the tune of Iyaz’ pop hit Replay. Some of the senators are not pleased. Love the keytars.

RC Explorer rigged one of their remote-controlled tricopters with a camera and a bunch of roman candle fireworks. Then they hunted hydrogen-filled balloons. There’s even a final boss of sorts.

We remember striving for perfection in our youth: Shiba High School’s guitar club (one of Japan’s oldest guitar orchestra clubs) achieves it here, playing the Jurassic Park theme. (Thanks Spencer!)

Check out the dry Kiwi humor in Robert & Sheepy, two amusing claymation sheep from New Zealand that have a special point of view on life, created by Jemaine Clement and Guy Capper. (Thanks Tim!)

Playing the flute is difficult enough, but beatboxing and playing the flute at the same time should be left to the pros, like Nathan “Flutebox” Lee, who’s adept at both disciplines. Bonus track here.

Guinness takes its world records more seriously, but the URDB catalogs every inane and stupid record attempt ever. Example: Most American Quarters Fit Inside A Belly Button. Really.

Yeah, we thought the Mythbusters proved a solar death ray was impossible, but Eric Jacqmain claims his 5,800 mirror-tile-covered satellite dish has the “Power of 5,000 suns.” Um, you be the judge.

From the team that brought us Pokemon: Apokelypse comes this ultra-short version of the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie. The film won the Virgin Radio Fake Film Festival. SPOILERS AHEAD!

It’s a sunny day, and Frenchy – think Mr. Bean, only more sophisticated – had a simple plan. Just him, a bottle of wine and a block of Brie at the beach. The day was more eventful than planned.
