Chainsaw Dog
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?
Barbershop Quartet Ignition
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.
Indian Headshakes
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.

This audience member at a recent Minnesota Gophers hockey game not only looks like Gary Sinise and Tom Hanks’ child, he’s also quite the boy scout. Watch as the ol’ Kiss Cam segment drops in on them.
Street Fighter Red Tape: Ryu
Street Fighter Ryu (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) must meet with standards and practices before he can dish out his Shoryukens and Hadoukens. Another hilarious sketch from The Pete Holmes Show. BTW, it’s Tatsumaki Senpukyaku! We think.
Winning Your Breakup
(NSFW: Language) You know how when you break up, you stalk your ex online, hoping to see that they’re faring worse than you? Well what if you could pay someone to fake that you’ve moved on? Not that you can’t do that on your own.
Honest Trailers: Gravity

Jimmy Fallon Collects on His Bet

Cats Puking to Techno

Luke Skywalker’s Adoption
Dorkly uses the force of hindsight and imagines how Obi Wan Kenobi handed over baby Luke Skywalker to Uncle Owen. And we call Obi Wan the “Negotiator.” You should’ve left Luke with the muppet!

Above Average’s best Kickstarter parody yet: a proposal for a service that helps you make your own audiobook. By reading the book yourself. If that sounds insane, wait ’til you hear the rewards for higher pledges.

Forensic artist and Crystal Head Vodka fan Nigel used his skills to imagine what the spirit’s trademark skull bottle would look like if it had flesh and skin. The bottle turned out to be an ordinary guy. With glass teeth.
Cat Breaks Olympic Facility
There’s been a lot of talk about the shoddy workmanship of the Olympic facilities at Sochi, and this video sums it up. The acoustic tile ceiling of the Adler speed skating Arena was felled by a single feline back in October.
Those with a Special Someone
Conan compiled these clips from local news channels all over the US showing anchors reading the exact same lines for their recent Valentine’s Day features. At first it’s funny, then depressing, then it becomes really creepy.
