Old school made new: the talented Peter Bull’s latest musical mashup has Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ as its foundation; this version is enhanced by Shakira, Bruno Mars and a few other folks.
(NSFW: Language) One of two new clips from inspirational comedy 50/50, featuring the head shaving scene we saw in the trailer. Seth Rogen can make even the most obvious punchlines funny.
Mathematician/musician/all-around hottie Vi Hart is back with a layperson’s explanation of sound waves, frequencies, amplification, and how we hear sounds, with her usual mathematical spin.
You’ll never guess what these two love birds are listening to. Quirky Girl is a hilarious parody of the modern boy meets girl Hollywood love story. We still love Zooey Deschanel though.
Using just a knife and his hands, Tim Jones makes a magnifying glass out of a block of ice, then uses it to start a fire. Not the most practical idea, but we’d never have thought of it either.
A very polished fan film that delivers an aural and visual feast from start to finish. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and scored by Mike Zarin, who also composed the music for the first Inception trailer.
Eran Amir convinced 500 of his closest friends (and strangers) to pose with 1500+ unique photographs, creating an awesome dual-layered stop motion film which will have you coming back for seconds.
We already know there’s a new Muppets album and Muppets movie coming out. Now we’ve got OK Go’s quirky new rendition of The Muppet Show theme, and a Muppet-laden video. (Thanks, Everyone!)
Next Level Pictures rented a Phantom Flex camera for one of their projects and decided to make the most out of it by shooting a side video – a slice of Brooklyn life in wonderful slow motion.
The Onion reports that a group of miners are unable to escape… from their jobs. We don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Also, hear about this new thing we should all be scared of/laughing about.
We don’t know if firefighters run around quite this quickly in a real blaze, but we’re impressed by the sheer speed at which they go from truck to third-story window in this practice exercise.
We don’t care whether or not it’s fake; we’re enjoying (what looks like) the keen eye-hand coordination from the batter in this minute of video game style baseball practice. (Thanks Mike!)
A desktop PC that literally fits in the palm of your hands. The inexplicable reflection of fingers on the monitor while it’s “booting up” gives away that it’s fake, but it’s still a curious sight.
When we go out to see a performance we usually stay alert; that wasn’t the case at Mike Winfield’s recent comedy show. Moral? Stay awake unless you want to be part of the act. (Thanks Travis!)
The effects in the original TRON weren’t exactly high-tech, but did you know they made light cycle chase using duct tape? Ok, they didn’t. That doesn’t make this ad for Duck Tape any less awesome.
Game designer TopHATTwaffle was commissioned by one Gary Hudston to create a very special set of Portal 2 levels which, upon completion, delivered a proposal to his soon-to-be fiance.
This little rocker is watching Queen’s epic Live Aid performance and gamely joins the crowd in following Freddie Mercury’s lead. Good thing he wasn’t watching an Iggy Pop concert.
If you want to find out the right way to say difficult to pronounce words, check out the Pronunciation Book, not the Pronunciation Manual. But the latter’s great if you’re looking for laughs.
When Banksy’s documentaries Exit Through the Gift Shop and The Antics Roadshow were aired on TV in the UK last weekend, viewers were also treated to mock ads made by the artist himself.
The quirky and creepy music video of Whiskey Shivers’ single Gimme All Your Lovin’. Good old-time music too. If the video left you scratching your head, pay more attention to the lyrics.
