Street Fighter: Goat & Sheep Ed.

Street Fighter: Goat & Sheep Ed.

YouTuber Marca Blanca compiled a bunch of viral video clips of goats and sheep being – well – goats and sheep. But in this case, they’re also playing a 1990’s video game. We think it needs more angry ram footage.

“Unaired” Nike Commercial

“Unaired” Nike Commercial

“Crunchy is my favorite word… but tomorrow I have a feeling it might be lava.” An amusing and affecting satire of pretentious commercials, with a pompous philosophical monologue befitting True Detective’s Rust Cohle.

Wingsuit Surfing

Wingsuit Surfing

Team Betsafe skydivers Espen Fadnes and Bjørn Magne Bryn pulled off a perfectly coordinated jump in which one of the men wore a wingsuit and allowed the other to stand on his back for over 20 seconds while approaching with his canopy.

Squirrelled Away

Squirrelled Away

YouTuber Viva Frei put his GoPro down to get a better view of a squirrel. The rodent seemed to be down for a photo shoot, but given its actions a few seconds later we think it was actually assessing the nuts-to-camera exchange rate.

Gymkhana Seven

Gymkhana Seven

Ken Block is back once more, this time burning massive rubber on the streets of LA in his custom-built Mustang Hoonicorn RTR, an 845hp beast that bears little resemblance to the ’65 Mustang it started as.

Neil Cicieraga: Fly Away

Neil Cicieraga: Fly Away

(NSFW: Language) At first, this appears to be a fan-made lyric video to Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away. But does the song really go like this? Then you look at who uploaded it and it suddenly makes sense. I WANT A MILKY WAYYY

YouTuber MegaBirdCrazy’s 25-year-old cockatoo Pebble doesn’t like the idea of her human parents watching TV instead of her, and goes straight-up loco. And people say kids are attention hogs.

Interview with a Time Traveler

Crazy Generous Arcade Game

Crazy Generous Arcade Game

Do You Want to Build a Meth Lab?

Do You Want to Build a Meth Lab?

Animeme’s hilarious parody of Frozen’s Do You Want to Build a Snowman?, told from the perspective of Breaking Bad’s Walter White as he eggs on a reluctant Jesse Pinkman. This is some serious South Park level musical theater.

If You Could…

If You Could…

(NSFW: Language) YouTuber aaronsafilmnerd claims that he originally recorded this video for his Sociology homework. He asks his father theoretical questions of such poor quality and delivery that it drives his old man to a fit of rage.

He-Man’s Best One-Liners

He-Man’s Best One-Liners

Skeletor might have a way with the insults, but He-Man knows how to speak his mind too. Though from the sound of his observational humor, we’re not sure he should quit his day job for a standup gig quite yet.

Playgrounds: Manipulating Reality

Call it the iWatch & We’ll Kill You

(NSFW: Language) CollegeHumor pokes fun at Apple’s self-inflicted branding dilemma now that it’s resorted to adding “Apple” instead of “i” to its product names. We guess the company’s CEO is no longer with us.
