Nasim Pedrad as Aziz Ansari

SNL’s Nasim Pedrad shows off an unaired clip of a sketch in which she brilliantly channels fellow comedian Aziz Ansari. All we can say is that we think she nailed it. Skip to 1:20 if you can’t stand to hear another word about the Kardashians.

Nerd Raps in the Hood

Madame Butterfly

Madame Butterfly

Flautist Youkie Ota was in the midst of a solo competition when a butterfly decided to land right on her face. Not only did she manage to not skip a note, but the insect seemed like it was in on the act. Robo-butterfly, perhaps?

LWT: Scottish Independence

LWT: Scottish Independence

Last Week Tonight gives us a primer on the potentially historic decision that will be held this week. The Scottish are going to vote whether or not they want to break away from the United Kingdom. Violently British arguments follow.

Deep Sea Siphonophore

Deep Sea Siphonophore

Caught on camera by Nautilus Live’s remote-controlled submarine Hercules, this… thing appears to be a siphonophore – a class of “animals” that isn’t actually a single being but a colony of highly integrated tiny organisms.

Litterbug Karma

Litterbug Karma

This motorcycle rider in Russia decided he had enough of people dropping their garbage on the ground so he decided to do something about it, and give it back to those who left it behind. Yes, it seems set up, but it’s still satisfying.

Rush Hour

Rush Hour

Fernando Livschitz, who brought us the trippy Inception Park 1 & 2, digitally composited footage of traffic passing through a busy intersection, replicating cars, vans, bikes and pedestrians to make it appear impossibly crowded.

Tiny Hamster vs. Kobayashi

Tiny Hamster vs. Kobayashi

Competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi takes on a new opponent – an adorable hamster – as they each try to gobble down as many hot dogs as possible. We’re thinking the hamster had an advantage because he didn’t soak his in water.

Edge of Tomorrow B-Roll

Edge of Tomorrow B-Roll

ScreenSlam shares this behind the scenes footage from the filming of the underappreciated sci-fi action flick Edge of Tomorrow. Let’s use this opportunity to once again marvel at the fact that Tom Cruise is 52 freakin’ years old.

Burrito Roll Packing Method

Burrito Roll Packing Method

Beyond Clothing uses a couple of their outdoor layering pieces to demonstrate a technique which will help you maximize space in your suitcase. We don’t recommend trying this with your best suit – or adding sour cream and salsa either.

What is a Sandwich?

What is a Sandwich?

We all kind of know what a sandwich is, but trying to define it formally is like trying to explain what a human being looks like. The Atlantic steps up to the plate and suggests a way to check for a food’s sandwichness.
