Awesome Videos

You’ll have to forgive this video that was shot on a potato enveloped in plastic wrap, then streamed over a 300 baud modem, but this old clip of a guy playing Dick Dale’s Misirlou (aka the theme from Pulp Fiction) was too priceless not to post. Skip to 0:50.

Not only does this raccoon have the gall to steal the cat’s food, she has the audacity to come and bang on the glass door with a rock until they feed it again. Contrary to the narrator, Rocksy is neither cute nor wonderful. She’s brash and kind of an asshole.

James Corden invited Stevie Wonder for a ride in his Range Rover, first as a driver – but quickly switching gears to perform a number of his tunes from the passenger seat. Stevie’s comedic chops are as brilliant as his vocals.

Daniel McKee spent six months digging through every crack and crevice of Instagram in search of images that mimic the look, subject matter, and/or expression of emoji. In the end, he dug up 817 of them. We think he did a smashing job, don’t you?

Watch America go up against Estonia in the ultimate battle for slackline supremacy, turning in mad flips, bounces and spins on a springy line of webbing. That trick at 3:55 was sick. We’re just glad they didn’t try it here.

We can only imagine how many attempts it took to get this right, as a line of 43 people tossed coins into liquid-filled beakers to play back a passage from one of Mozart’s minuets. Though you can only hear the notes when played back in slow motion.

If you didn’t think the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens couldn’t get any better, YouTuber Rams Riot upgraded it by dubbing in Bill Murray’s classic redo of John Williams’ famous theme.

Finland’s StuntFreaksTeam tears up dirt, dust and gravel as they perform burnouts, spins, wheelies, and more on their motorcycles. If that weren’t enough, there’s a drift car that wants in on the action too.

Roboticist Dr. Guero has created an AI-driven humanoid which can not only dance solo, it can waltz with a partner. He’s previously taught it to ride a bicycle, walk on a rocky beach, drag heavy objects, and walk just like us.

In Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy Krueger was the unstoppable man of your dreams. The only way to kill him is to send Leonardo DiCaprio into the deepest levels of your subconscious to root him out for good.

A group of whale watchers were off the coast of Monterey, California when they spotted just what they were looking for – a humpback whale breaching the water. They also got some bonus footage of the kayak that the beast capsized.

(PG-13 Language) It seems as if ducks are the new cats on the internet. The latest clip to go viral is this hilarious Vine in which both the waterfowl and the exclamation work together in perfect harmony.

James Stewart and Nev Bezaire’s wonderfully creepy and well executed stop-motion short follows a young girl who finds herself trapped inside the walls of her home, after being kidnapped by a group of evil foxes. Want more? It’s being made into a feature film.

Time-lapse footage of artist Kim Jung Gi (NSFW link) as he creates an intricate wall-sized illustration. The level of detail he achieves with no visual frame of reference is staggering. Every time you think he’s done, he adds more to the canvas. More on YouTube.

Jaguar gave their all new F-PACE sports crossover the most dramatic entrance possible, sending it and stunt driver Terry Grant through a massive loop measuring a record-breaking 62.6 feet tall, and exerting nearly 6.5G along the way.

If you thought sleeping with your face buried in a pillow was strange, check out some of the unusual sleep habits of wildlife, captured by the watchful lens of National Geographic. And yes, never wake a sleeping hippo.

Musicians Laurier Lachance and Mathieu Paquin turn in a head-nodding acoustic version of Eminem’s massive hit The Real Slim Shady with three fewer people playing the guitar than Walk off the Earth.

Musician Valentin Guérin has a very special brass instrument – a trombone that doubles as a flamethrower. Here, he turns in a performance of Arthur Pryor’s Fantastic Polka, with Valérie Guérin-Descouturelle on piano. We think his nickname should be “hot lips.”

It’s long been a way that printer companies make you buy ink and toner before you need it. Instead of measuring remaining consumables, they shut off when a counter is reached. Here’s just how much ink was wasted in an Epson large-format printer. (Thanks Paul!)

Long time Disney animator Glen Keane talks about the emotion and expression that goes into each one of his frames, and the limitations of paper. Donning a VR headset, a pair of controllers and Tiltbrush, he now creates artworks in 3D space. (Thanks Pedro!)

BMX rider Nigel Sylvester takes us on a breakneck ride through New York City, offering an enveloping first-person perspective of the Big Apple. The audio mix is just as impressive as the visuals. And yes, that was Jackie Cruz from Orange Is the New Black. (Thanks, Flex!)

A basejumper takes the most harrowing route to his jump-off point as he slides down a treacherous stretch of cable that nearly takes his fingers off as he picks up speed. Might we suggest a pair of gloves? And jump from some place safe, like the top of a skyscraper.

Corridor Digital goes back to their roots with their latest video, which does a great job replicating the look of an FPS, only this time, they’ve got an arsenal consisting of some of the best video game weapons ever. Forkstab ftw!
