Civilized Glass
A wine glass version of the Pythagoras cup, an ancient prank device. It has a leak hidden in a small column in the middle of the cup. If you fill the cup beyond the column’s height, gravity will drain all of the cup’s contents, giving you a lesson in both physics and greed.

RCR: 1987 Subaru BRAT
(PG-13 Language) The smartasses of Regular Car Reviews take on one of the worst, but still fondly remembered vehicles ever – the Subaru BRAT. This mini-ute had a cramped cabin, tiny bed, drove like crap, and had rear-facing seats that couldn’t have possibly been safe.
Walking in an Indoor Wonderland
After turning his living room into a ball pit, Roman Atwood is back to turn his house into a play place yet again. Only this time, he’s loaded his home with a mix of fake and real snow, which we’re guessing is a little more difficult to clean up than plastic balls. BTS here.
JonTron Firework Cover
YouTube gamer JonTron recently held a charity fundraiser, where he promised that he would sing Katy Perry’s Firework if they reached their target amount. They raised enough money, so JonTron kept his word. A ton of animators helped him make this music video.

Gordon vs. LaVine Slam Dunk Contest
2/13/16 will forever be remembered as the day a dude sat in mid-air. The NBA’s rocket-jumping 20-year olds Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine brought Toronto down in a legendary Slam Dunk Contest. Batman v Superman is probably going to be a letdown compared to this duel.
Mario Kart at the Mall
YouTuber Base37 and his friends dressed up as Mario characters and used Crazy Carts to race through a mall. We don’t know if it’s really a GoPro ad, but it’s obviously staged. It’s still fun to watch though!

Mom vs. Egg
(PG-13: Language) YouTuber logen kosar shares this supercut of a man tossing eggs to his mother, supposedly everyday for more than a year. We don’t know it that’s true, but he did it enough times that her catching skill leveled up.
