(NSFW: Language) A guy is trying to sell his mountain bike to an impressed potential buyer, but he gets upstaged by a legend. There’s not much else to say about the short, so just watch and laugh.

In his culture show Folding Ideas, Dan Olson looks at how the folks behind The Simpsons have tweaked the character of Homer to respond to how pop culture missed the point of their satire.

(NSFW: Language) ZeFrank returns with his latest educational video, about this odd little carnivorous primate with eyeballs bigger than its brain. To us, it looks like one of George Lucas’ digital creatures.

Bystanders watch vehicles drive through the foamy floodwaters in Queensland, Australia when a car seemingly materializes out of nowhere. We’d like to see David Copperfield do that. (Thanks Dion!)

Prior to this video, the main worry we had for our prized snow sculptures was a spontaneous weather warmup – not a roving family of tigers. Guess that’s what you get for building them in a safari park.

We’ve seen a hamster do impressive spins on a hamster wheel, but these two rodents take it to the next level and have an intense exercise. What on Earth does it take to make these animals dizzy?

This trippy video is an ad for sleep medicine Intermezzo. It sounds like a parody of a drug commercial, except it’s actually a drug commercial. And people say weed is bad for you.

UFC fighter Anthony ‘Showtime’ Pettis smacks down some eggs in slow-mo, using his best and most precise roundhouse kick. Time to make an omelette, we suppose. More food fighting here.

Mother nature messes with our heads once again, delivering an unexpected surprise inside of yet another giant chicken egg. We’ll stop posting these when we get to Level 4. (Thanks Everyone!)

We’ve seen a library on a pair of donkeys; here’s a tank that dispenses books instead of ammunition. Raul Lemesoff calls his roving library Arma De Instruccion Masiva (Weapon of Mass Instruction).

A ton of musical turrets overwhelm GLaDOS in Zachariah Scott’s latest Source Filmmaker machinima. We love the king turret and his minions. The song was composed by Lars Erik Fjøsne.

What is it about dogs and socks? We may never know, but at least we can now enjoy a metal song on the topic thanks to Psychostick. Buy the song to give your pup a sock massacre soundtrack.

The director’s cut of the Nintendo 3DS commercial that was made to advertise the handheld system as an audio-visual guide to the Musée du Louvre. The song is Með Suð Í Eyrum by Sigur Ros.
