Check out the precision in this extraordinary ping pong trick shot from Josep Antón Velázquez. His serves must have the perfect amount of spin, speed, height and placement to pass through the holes of the wood to finish the trick. Bravo, sir.

(NSFW: Language) The talented folks at Art & Mechanical put together a stylish short film here. Just when we think one of the characters is going to meet his maker, things take a turn when a mysterious box arrives. (Thanks Alex!)

Conan O’Brien saw Denzel Washington’s action movie The Equalizer. He thought it was good, except it seemed to overdo the tense moments before fights. That’s just cold. At least Best Drops Ever actually had drops. Technically.

(NSFW: Language) 1A4STUDIO sums up Kubrick’s masterful, if at times bewildering classic science fiction film. If you don’t have the attention span to watch the 2.5+ hour original, this one’s for you. Needs more HAL 9000.

Watch James Heptonstall race against a subway train, at least for a short while. He gets off at a London Tube station then runs like a madman to the train’s next stop about 1260ft. away. Will he get there on time? One more here.

“Any actor who tells you that he’s not inspired by Bugs Bunny is a liar.” The great Bryan Cranston pretends that he wrote, directed and performed a one-man play about the MLB postseason in this hilarious TBS commercial.

Key & Peele whets our comedic appetites with a new sketch. When Earth comes under attack by shapeshifting aliens, two dudes devise a quick test to find out if someone is an alien. Or a racist. Third season starts 9/24.

…Amelia the Brittany Spaniel, that’s who. Watch as she nonchalantly acknowledges her undisputed superiority. All that’s missing is a pair of pixelated shades lowering from the ceiling and onto her face.

Vsauce looks at why we love looking for coincidences: partly because our brains our wired to look for patterns, and partly because we have so many variables to work with. Thanks + for + watching?! Half-Life 3 confirmed.

We recently got up close with Caterpillar’s humongous 900+ horsepower D11T bulldozer, which can be equipped with a remote control for excavating and moving earth in locations too dangerous for human operators. BattleBots 2.0, anyone?

We often see the Aurora Borealis – and Australis – preserved in time-lapse videos. But they’re much stranger in real time, as shown by photographer Kwon O Chul. He shot this video in Aurora Village in Yellowknife, Canada.

(NSFW) Comedian and rapper David Burd aka Lil Dicky tells a hilarious story of a slacker who desperately wants to make love with his date, who soon becomes his girlfriend, then his wife. Get his mixtape here.

We’ve seen several fun things from Chris Carlson, and the hits keep on coming, this time in the form of an anamorphic 3D painting of a SkeeBall game, with some fun time lapse and stop-motion.

Devin Supertramp captured skateboarders zipping through Lindon, Utah’s Banzai Skatepark, as they rode through a veritable ocean of blue balloons. Despite the occasional pop, it’s way less messy than wakeboarding through cranberries.

Kevin Wang, aka Best Drops Ever, collaborated with popular Vine guy Neat Dude to put together this amusing vid of what happens when a bunch of dudes are trying to have some fun in da club – with a horrible DJ. Music has charms, people.

Parkour athlete Jason Paul and Team Farang level up by performing their jumping, flipping and freerunning skills in a simulated side-scrolling video game. How’d they pull it off? Wait for the surprise ending.

Mt. Hua or Hua Shan is a famous historical site in China. Though it has cable cars, it’s known for its extremely narrow cliffside paths, as shown in YouTuber Mark Laurence’s video, which was probably uploaded by his ghost.

YouTuber Madi McGlone shares this video of their Great Dane playing along with a canine version of If You’re Happy and You Know It. The rest of its body doesn’t seem to agree with its tail though.

(NSFW: Language) fatawesome points out how ridiculous engagement rings are by switching the gender roles in this made up ritual. They stretch out the allegory a bit, but that just makes the pay off so much sweeter.

Trampoline experts Sean and Eric Kennedy of Flippenout demonstrate their synchronized acrobatic skills as they fly up to 22 feet in the air in this beautifully-shot (all too) short film by Dominick Sheldon for NOWNESS.

A man passes by an overturned box on the sidewalk. He stoops to peek into its hole, and finds a pair of eyes staring back at him. Nirvan Mullick’s stop-motion short was inspired by Kobo Abe’s eponymous novel.

In this twisted short animation written and directed by David OReilly (the guy behind the hilarious interactive video game in Her), a man sets off a bomb that turns out to work a little differently than he imagined.

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.
