Not that any of us really want to go there, but this funny commercial for Bonds Australia shows us what really goes on inside a pair of men’s underwear, at least until they upgrade to a pair of comfy new undies. We’re thinking a little Gold Bond might be in order too.

(PG-13) Two hesitant members of rival gangs are forced to work together to escape from another band of thugs. Trevor Stevens’ intense short film mirrors the downward spiral of running with the wrong crowd.

Julian Tryba edited the footage that he and his friend Mike Sutton took of the American Southwest into a mesmerizing layer-lapse, where parts of different time-lapse shots are merged into the same frame. The song is Kygo’s remix of M83’s Wait.

Rhett & Link do their best to be one with nature as they camp out in their sleeping bags. Though their definition of “roughing it in the great outdoors” includes use of the latest in camping technology.

If you live in any major U.S. city, traffic is an everyday part of life. But any time you feel the road rage boiling over, just think about this video of a major traffic jam in Beijing, and you might feel just a little better about the slowdowns you encounter on a daily basis.

(PG-13) Hopsin thinks there’s something worse than poorly written rap songs: the ones where there are barely any words in them. Watch him poop on Young Thug, Future and the other Bon Ivers of hip hop in this skit from his album Pound Syndrome.

Rock star he ain’t, but YouTuber Chuck Berry can trim Christmas trees – and perhaps someday his body – in a jiffy by dual-wielding brush knives. We like his casual swishes from behind, as if saying he doesn’t mind if all he has below his knees is air.

Subway’s footlongs were actually lessthanafootlongs, a man sued himself to get free money and a woman thought Frozen was based on her life. All that and more in Mental Floss List Show’s rundown of absurd and frivolous lawsuits.

Filmmaker Alexandre Dubosc loves to make animation using food. His latest work is a zoetrope formed out of a multiple-tiered cake. It shows a wacky cycle where corn kernels are turned into popcorn and back. Behind the scenes here.

The crazy free-climbing duo On the Roofs shared their latest video – a view from the very top of the 1,094ft. Shimao International Plaza in Shanghai, China. We nearly peed ourselves when they got to the lightning rod.

(PG-13: Language) Even if De Staat’s intense track isn’t your musical cup of tea, Studio Smack’s mindblowing music video will pull you in and won’t let go. The low-budget video was made with mo-cap and CGI trickery. We haven’t felt this way since seeing Mad Max: Fury Road.

(PG-13: Language) The year is 2331. Mankind has reduced Earth to a toxic wasteland devoid of other animals or any plant life. But a boy stumbles upon the discovery of a lifetime. Alvaro Garcia’s short has glaring plot holes, but it’s still fun to watch.

Mighty Car Mods and their friends attempt to mod a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle L and give it 10 times its measly ~30hp with the help of a 2.5L turbocharged engine, while keeping its classic look. Skip to 34:10 for the result, including a drag race with the mighty Porsche 911 Carrera.

The Rebels have Dumbo? The First Order is screwed. PistolShrimps mashed up the teasers and trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to include Aladdin, Olaf and many other members of the Disney family.

The Tonight Show had Hugh Jackman and Shaquille O’Neal battle in a trivia game where they each stay in a phone booth, and each round the loser had to accommodate a new person. This makes us wonder how Alex Trebek would fare as a Jeopardy! contestant.

Disney’s animated movies can be grim and twisted, but Screen Rant reminds us that many Disney films are already toned-down versions of horrific original stories. Which makes you wonder if they were really written for children in the first place. Coming in 3015: Disney’s Saw.

Photographer Janis Brod shares shots from his recent three-month trip across four neighboring Southeast Asian countries: Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam – giving us a glimpse into the diversities of quiet country life, bustling cities, and awe-inspiring natural surroundings.

…not that it was great to begin with. This clip from professional cynic Adam Conover’s spinoff TV show Adam Ruins Everything reminds us that the TSA is actually the STA – the Security Theater of America. Seriously, you guys are paying to be lied to and harassed.

YouTuber BlackSmoke Billy used a couple of mods for Grand Theft Auto V so that he could attach structures to vehicles and reduce the weight of cars in the game. He started with a mobile ramp and ended up with a freeway razor. Hilarious stuff.

Jockeying for the title of “Coolest Dad of the Year,” builder Izzy Swan took his drill-powered walking machine and turned it into a 10 foot-tall T.Rex for his son. Its legs, mouth, and tail move. We think it should be named “Mechasaurus Rex,” but it’s simply known as “Bob.”

YouTube channel What’s Inside? specializes in cutting things in half to see what delicious fillings live inside the hard candy shells of everyday objects. Their mission to cut open an 8-pound shot put ball hits a few speed bumps along the way, but they won’t be deterred.

Corridor Digital’s latest video is blatantly shilling Game of War, but that doesn’t make it any less worth watching, with their clever use of VFX and game-textured environments and a tilt-shift effect to transform the real world into an RTS-style civilization. Making of here.

When you think of recycling, the materials that come to mind are paper, plastic and metals. But thanks to Phoenix Fibers and Bonded Logic, denim jeans and cotton clothing can now be transformed into insulation and acoustic panels for homes and buildings.
