YouTuber RealLifeLore tries to vivify the destructive power of nuclear weapons – the ones that existed, the ones that exist and the ones that could exist. We really are too smart for our own good.

(PG-13: Language) “Usually, chords are happy – called ‘major’… or ‘minor’ which are the ones that make you want to kill yourself.” The always informative exurb1a is back to explain to us the basic tools of the musical trade. Our instrument of choice – the nose flute.

Despite their name, they guys at Danger First are creeped out by spiders. But rather than buy a can of Raid, they made a deadly hairspray-powered flamethrower, designed to enact the idiom “kill it with fire” in real life. No actual spiders were harmed in the making of the video.

The first Tomb Raider game came out on 10/25/96. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics celebrate Lara Croft’s 20 years of adventuring with the help of PlayerPiano. The location shots are as impressive as the medley itself.

YouTuber Aldo Jones spent about a month making the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer look freaky. Witness the Empire’s creepiest Star Destroyer, the Death Party Troopers, the Rebel soldier ALF and more.

(PG-13: Language) The Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj talks about Bill Cosby’s “compliment”, Mike Tyson’s sad comedy and more before hot sauce ripped his soul from his body. We feared for his life for a minute. Mad Dog 357 is a hell of a drug.

(PG-13: Language) “Ah, I tell you until I met my wife I always felt incomplete. Now I’m finished.” Norm Macdonald dropped by Conan to promote his memoir. Naturally he rambled and broke Conan. Check out part two of the video for Conan’s top notch Norm impression.

Man at Arms: Reforged make a replica of an Ulfberht sword, a 9th century sword found most frequently in northern Europe. Although it looks like a plain instrument of war, it requires an insane amount of time and skill to work with the blade’s material.

The Slow Mo Guys played with waterproof fireworks in a small tank to see how they would react with the water underneath and at the surface. At 120,000 frames per second, the world turns into CGI. A world that takes up 24GB per second.

It’s been over a year since musician Hanbyul Kang last posted a song to his YouTube channel, but his back catalog of smooth and soulful covers is too good not to share. Here’s hoping we hear more from Hanbyul down the road.

“Where are your feathers? Where are your feathers? Why can’t you fly?” Bad Lip Reading turned this year’s already ridiculous first Presidential Debate into a game show. The Time to Act game is actually a decent idea.

(PG-13: Language) Daft Punk produced the music for The Weeknd’s latest hit Starboy. But what if it was the other way around and Daft Punk invited The Weeknd to sing on their terms? YouTuber samuraiguitarist might have the answer.

CineFix recreated the opening title sequence from ’80s classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe using cheap costumes and props, accompanied by an a capella theme song. Be sure to watch the side-by-side comparison to see how well they did.

YouTube channel Crush doesn’t have a hydraulic press, but they do have an 8-ton steamroller. Here, they see what happens (or doesn’t) when you run over golf balls with it. After seeing how golf ball dimples improve aerodynamics too, why aren’t cars made from this stuff?

(PG-13: Language) Director Mattis Dovier’s animated music video for XXX’s dope track uses good old 1-bit images to paint a vivid picture of a flight on the world’s creepiest airline. Chicken or beef? More like bugs or snakes?

When you see Apple’s executives showering praise on their products, they’re not bragging. They’re desperately trying to prove themselves worthy of being freed from Apple’s ultimate creation. Or so it goes in Conan‘s awesome satire.

French rock duo Armand Penicaut and Ulysse Cottin aka Papooz play their soothing and sultry “tropical garage” music in the beautiful island of Cap Ferret. They performed Ann Wants to Dance and One of Those Days from their album Green Juice.

The root crop of all evil. Nick Massey and Katrina Naficy spent months and 300 potatoes making this horror movie parody. It’s about a girl who summons an evil spirit that fills her life with potatoes. And the Oscar for Best Blood-curdling Scream goes to…

(PG-13: Language) YouTuber tiarawhy spent nearly two months animating the Rick and Morty reading of the infamous court transcript of a judge losing his composure against a rowdy defendant. What we’d have given to be the court stenographer that day.

Miniature maker HMS2 shows us how to use plastic sheets and rods, and mad X-Acto knife skills to build a teensy toaster which looks absolutely perfect. Of course, you’ll need to make some tiny bread too, and be sure to wash it down with a tiny espresso.

In Soviet Russia, the circus comes to you. Go on, guess how many people are inside that poor sedan. They even brought an accordion and a guitar just to up the stakes. We guess safety is not their number one priority.
