Awesome Funny Stuff

If AI Was Honest

If AI Was Honest

Honest Ads offers a darkly humorous take on what could happen if our worst fears about artificial intelligence come true. Along the way, fake CEO Roger Horton exposes the kind of machine-generated garbage that passes for “content” these days and how large language models are just really good at guessing what the next word might be in a sentence.

Michael Jackson + Judas Priest = Judas Jackson

Michael Jackson + Judas Priest = Judas Jackson

You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Billie Jean. Mashup maestro Bill McClintock took these two very different songs and combined them with Steely Dan’s Do It Again to create the heaviest pop song imaginable. We think Rob Halford’s spiked leather sleeves would look great paired with MJ’s sequined glove.

The Force Is with Cristal Beer

The Force Is with Cristal Beer

YouTuber gimbo compiled OMD Chile’s hilarious TV commercials for Cristal beer from 2003. The ads were spliced within broadcasts of the original Star Wars trilogy, complete with costumes or backgrounds that make it appear that the characters were reaching for the beer. The campaign was repeated during airings of American Beauty, Gladiator, and Notting Hill.

Red Solo Cup Raft

Red Solo Cup Raft

We’ve seen a raft made of soda bottles, but this is the first time we’ve encountered one made from red Solo cups. Drew Dirksen shared this clip of a simple but effective raft that floats because of the air trapped between pairs of party cups. We wouldn’t trust it on the open seas, but it seems to work pretty well as a pool float.

Kiddie Ride Motorcycle Patrol

Kiddie Ride Motorcycle Patrol

You know those kiddie rides they have at malls?

Singing 200 Digits of Pi

Singing 200 Digits of Pi

March 14 is Pi Day, so there’s no better time to learn as many digits of the mathematical constant as possible. AsapSCIENCE is here to help. While it’s definitely harder to memorize than The Alphabet Song, if you’re paying attention to the lyrics, you should at least get further than 3.1415926.

Sculpting a Bear with a Minigun

Sculpting a Bear with a Minigun

How do you stop a bear from attacking? Take away his right to bear arms. Adam from North of the Border imagines a way to make a grizzly bear more deadly: by arming it with a high-capacity, rapid-fire weapon. After sculpting the bear’s body, head, feet, and hands, he imparted a fur texture before building a mini minigun and ammo pack.

In a hurry? Cut right to the chase.

Turning a Dune 2 Popcorn Bucket Into a Diorama

Turning a Dune 2 Popcorn Bucket Into a Diorama

AMC’s promotional Dune 2 popcorn bucket is the subject of many memes. While most of us can’t get our minds out of the gutter, Adam Savage saw the cursed bucket top as an opportunity to build a geeky diorama, turning the bucket back into a proper sandworm by building a foam and resin sand dune and adding a tiny Paul Atreides and a 3D-printed ornithopter.

Full-Size Flywheel Car

Full-Size Flywheel Car

You know those toy cars that move using a flywheel? The car-chopping madmen of Garage 54 took another rusted-out old Lada and fitted it with such a mechanism. They connected its engine and transmission to the flywheel via a differential, pulley, and belts. After giving the car some gas, let it coast to see how far it would go under flywheel power.

Snoring Dog Song

Snoring Dog Song

We’ve featured a number of funny songs by The Kiffness, but somehow we missed this one when he posted it back in 2022. Instead of a cat making weird noises, this hilarious take on AWOLNATION’s Sail stars a dog that makes silly sounds while sleeping. Blame it on his floppy cheeks.

This talented street performer was spotted at an intersection in Mexico, entertaining passersby by dancing in a costume made from three large, flexible duct tubes. The more you watch it, the more you wonder which limbs are in which section.

Our favorite is the tie-dye tee.

The Wizard of Oz in Alphabetical Order

The Wizard of Oz in Alphabetical Order

In 2004, editor Matt Bucy chopped up The Wizard of Oz and rearranged every sound and word into alphabetical order. The result is the nonsensical but oddly compelling Of Oz the Wizard, or as commenter Jenny Reiswig put it even better, The Wizard of A to Z. Despite the task’s apparent complexity, he says most of the work only took about 20 hours.
