Awesome Videos

Maple the dog takes over drumming duties for the oh-so-talented Meg White on Trench’s cover of Seven Nation Army. We’re just gonna leave this Vine on a continuous loop here in the office all day. Much more awesomeness here.

NoodleTail captured video of this dangerous multicopter mod made by Finnish farmers. They attached a chainsaw to a DJI S1000, and added a trigger so they could fire up the saw remotely. But don’t worry, it’s very easy to beat.

(PG-13) Tom broke up with Allison more than a year ago, and he’s concerned because he’s still seeing her. In everyone else. Writer and director Oren Brimer’s short film takes a simple and relatable idea and executes it masterfully with the help of great actors.

(PG-13: Language) “First goal scorer? Lost me house. Number of cards? Kids as well. Number of corners? Lost me clothes!” Chaps Eye came up with an honest commercial for gambling sites. $20 says you know someone like this.

A group of mobsters meet up to discuss a very serious issue, but nobody can seem to concentrate on the business at hand, thanks to the performer up on stage. Peter Dinklage seems to have borrowed his wig from Sia, and his song from DEVO in this silly SNL sketch.

Redditor Muffinizer1 says his Uncle Aoch was “super proud” of this video, in which the ol’ man sings a cover of Hugh Collins’ timeless jazz song Bill Bailey with a recording of himself. Now you can have a quartet, uncle.

Most 3D printers use stepper motors to move their print head and platform. There’s an interesting side effect to this setup – you can use it to play music. Barnacules Nerdgasm demonstrates. Turns out the sounds can also be used to reverse engineer 3D models.

(PG-13 Language) Another day, another video of wanton destruction from the Hydraulic Press Channel. This time, they reduce a bowling pin to a pile of wood and cracked plastic, explode a bowling ball, and smush some snakes.

At first glance, it appears that this bedroom is home to a variety of strange phenomena, but are we looking at the real world, or are we inside a nightmare? Animator Andy Kennedy’s Slow Wave takes us on a trippy ride through one person’s disturbed sleep.

Veritasium breaks down the most requested cosmetic procedure. The melanin in our hair (and skin) protect us by absorbing light. Laser hair removal takes advantage of that by overloading hair with short bursts of heat, enough to damage the cells that produce hair.

The always incredible Poppin John teamed up with dancer Solto to turn in this mindbending (and bodybending) street performance set to Revolvr & Genisis and Splitbreed’s track Unstoppable. The gimmick at the end is worth the price of admission.

Stephen Colbert is excited about one of the possible new emoji. The Face With One Eyebrow Raised wasn’t based on Colbert, but he’s owning it anyway. Equally notable? The proposal for the emoji is 2,700 words long.😱

La Blogotheque presents indie folk artist Andy Shauf and his band performing a single from his upcoming album, The Party. If you like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes and other sad bastard music, you’ll love Andy.

Reading women’s signals can be maddening. Casually Explained lays out three hypothetical scenarios so you can test if your wits are about you (or if your self-esteem is high enough). We think this dude needs someone to explain things to him too.

A five-episode animated miniseries that introduces us to Final Fantasy XV‘s main characters: Noctis, Prince of Lucis, Gladiolus, a fellow noble, Ignis, a military tactician, and Prompto, a carefree commoner. It’s standard anime fare, but it does its job.

Ben Tardif says he’s been working for over three years on the construction of his complex contraption, a kinetic sculpture that sends marbles on a seemingly endless ride through 25 different environments, along twisty roads, down tiny staircases, and even off a ski jump.

A dude has been waiting for his friends to do the “I’m up for anything” response when asked what they want to eat, because he has a sick joke built around it. But this is real life, and jokes take time to pull off.

While Google wowed us with Cardboard Plastic earlier today, their best April Fools prank might just be this one out of Google Nederland – a play on their autonomous car tech, but made for the bicycle-filled streets of Amsterdam.

“Every bag of chips is family size… if you’re an orphan.” Nick Offerman presents another reading from Reddit’s Shower Thoughts. Nick joins Attenborough, Stewart, and Jones, and Freeman in the club of people who can read the phonebook and make it sound interesting.

It’s morphin’ time! The Red Power Ranger turns in an array of gymnastic jumps, flips and spins in this fun action video from Cam’s Creations, and starring freerunner Omar Zaki. We’re not sure about his crimefighting skills though.

“What’s realer than real? Probably nothing.” Google unveils the evolution of its affordable virtual reality headset. Cardboard Plastic lets you tap into reality itself, thanks to the magic of holes. Oh, how we wish that Apple did this joke instead.

YouTube’s April Foo – er, April Fizools’ Day prank combines its new 360º video feature with everyone’s dream couch buddy Snoop Dogg. The SnoopaVision button lets you watch Snoop Dogg watch a YouTube video. Videos here and here.
