Fastest Wheelie of 2011

Fastest Wheelie of 2011

(Warning: LOUD) While it doesn’t match the all-time record of 172mph, you have to hand it to Egbert Van Popta for popping a wheelie at 169mph on his 1989 Suzuki GSX this month. Another angle here.

Cat vs. Cat Balloon

Cat vs. Cat Balloon

The owners of Bert, this 21 pound orange tabby astutely point out the reason why they’re best off not getting a second cat. Or at least not an inflatable one made from Mylar.

Russian Unicorn

Russian Unicorn

(NSFW: Language) BadLipReading dramatically improves upon Michael Bublé’s yawn-inducing Haven’t Met You Yet with their nonsensical video re-dub. At least he has a sense of humor about it.

High Wheel

Dog vs. Cat Showdown

Dog vs. Cat Showdown

Two warriors cross paths. Both sense the other’s skill in combat; both refuse to back down. To give way would be dishonorable. Also dishonorable: running away and squealing like a baby.

Mortys

Mortys

A surprisingly not-so-morbid tale, considering its protagonist is Death, who is portrayed as a working mom who barely has any time for her child. Entertaining, though a bit lacking in explanation.

Fubar

Fubar

(NSFW: Language) A Zack Snyderesque motion comic featuring cats vs. dogs but with a very human issue. Could use a more imaginative and less didactic script, but still worth watching.

The Schwarzenegger Trilogy
