Just a little DNA and a God Complex, and you end up with an island full of raptors. Tal Moskovich helps us understand our prehistoric pals in this video, backed by Sam Neill’s movie dialogue.

Cats have a tendency to land on their feet no matter how high the jump, but a lift made especially for Mr. Whiskers is a more graceful way for kitty to get downstairs. Cheap version here.

Patrick Stewart’s voice is quite distinctive, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be copied. As a matter of fact, Brent Spiner (Data on Star Trek: TNG) even fooled Stewart’s wife – for a few seconds.

A loving tribute to NASA, the end of the Shuttle program and decades of space exploration, set to the words of Carl Sagan, along with incredible, moving imagery from Earth and beyond.

Is eating spaghetti too challenging for you? There’s an app for that! Actually, no. But there is an invention for that, and it’s so ridiculous that you’ll probably run out and order one now.

If you thought this cat was just being weird, well, this makes two of them. We need a vet to pop in and drop some knowledge here, because surely there must be some explanation for this. Gif here.

A bunch of penguins pop by for a visit, when they hear it’s feeding time and head for the pond. At least most of them do. Somebody, take that little dude under their wing and show him the ropes.

A proto-animated short film by Alexey Minchenok. Young Master 4: Stone and Iron presents the classic master-student story with clever and sparing use of drawings, music and sound effects.

A short animated film by Ting Tey puts wild animals on a single narrow bridge, with no way to cross. As it progresses, it teaches a little tale about stubbornness, pride and (eventually) compromise.

(NSFW: Lyrics) Freerunning gets as much plot as it can in this acrobatic short film. Ok, so jumping off of walls and rails isn’t really a story, but it’s still way cool – especially on fire. (Thanks, Ian!)

There’s no getting a soccer (or foot) ball past this guy. That’s because it’s Robokeeper, a goal tender with lightning-fast reflexes that never misses a ball. Guess it’s time for a Robokicker. Or Robocop.

The Dubstep sound is getting played out, but slather it on top of an ample helping of plasma weapons and VFX and we’ll crank our speakers up to 11 anyhow. Nice finishing move at the end there.

If you’ve ever thought that Tom Waits sounds a little like Cookie Monster, what with that raspy baritone growl, you’d be 100% correct. Mashups don’t get much better than this.

We’re truly grateful for the conveniences of modern urban life. But it does leave us disconnected and overwhelmed sometimes, as shown in this short film directed by Falko Tilgner.

Bill Hammack explains why it’s better to have one line for multiple checkout lanes than a line per cashier, and why in the case of the latter the grass is indeed (often) greener on the other side.

We know this is a basic optical illusion, but seeing it brought to life in 3-dimensions by brusspup still makes our heads hurt trying to figure out why our eyeballs see two different shades of grey.

There is nothing new or innovative in this animated short by Steve Cutts, from the first shot to the concept itself. But the bittersweet introspection that it induces in the viewer makes it special.

Directed by Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Unser Täglich Brot is about the fast, efficient and mass-producing world of modern agriculture, presenting arresting footage devoid of commentary.

We thought they lived in the shadows, but it seems like the ninjas of ancient Japan also had houses. It’s just like how you’d expect a ninja house would be, filled with traps and hidden stuff.

Check out the demure Anne Hathaway smoking the paparazzi in her hilarious Lil’ Wayne style rap song when she recently was a guest on Conan. We think we like her even more now. (Thanks, everyone!)

EpicMealTime really has hit the big time. First the cameo in Gymkhana 4, now they’re promoting Gears of War 3 by making a literal meat shield. The delicious armor was tested by FPSRussia.

We can’t imagine how much time Screen Werks’ Jordan Laws put into making the rhymes in this movie line mashup sound so natural against that funky little ditty stringing them all together.

Confused? This is from the Australian show Four Weddings, where brides attend each other’s weddings and rate them for a chance at a luxury honeymoon. They edited out the riddle game.
