(Gore) YouTuber Michael Shanks aka Timtimfed makes speed skating a lot more fun – and lethal – by adding the power ups from Mario Kart. If this was the case winning a medal would be just a side effect of staying alive.

There’s a reason that some classes of drag racers have those wheels on the back of their cars. Unfortunately, this 2000hp, nitrous-charged pony car wasn’t one of them, and took flight during a recent race.

A man doesn’t see the need to get car insurance because he’s not afraid of risks. But what about Ryu? Turkish insurance company Anadolu Sigorta recreates the Street Fighter II bonus stage in this silly ad. English captions available.

(NSFW: Language) In what could be the most unlikely collaboration in the history of collaborations, The Flaming Lips appeared on stage with Miley Cyrus to sing a rather good rendition of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.

(NSFW: Language) Rodrigo Huerta aka El-Cid and Hans Van Harken made this hilarious and polished mashup of Spongebob Squarepants and the Watchmen movie. Patrick Star as The Comedian is freakin’ genius.

Nokian Tyres celebrates its 80th year of making winter tires by creating a prototype tire with retractable studs. When installed on a vehicle, the studs on all tires rise and retract at the same time at the press of a button.

Universities – where nothing is guaranteed save for debt. We usually can’t sit all the way through Ryan Higa’s hyperactive skits, but he really hit the nail on the head with this one. Formal education needs a massive overhaul.

An accurate rendition of the music and sounds of Super Mario Bros. played on a Chinese wind instrument called the Sheng that predates the 30-year-old game by 3,000 years. We’re wondering if Miyamoto was inspired by its sound.

Every time Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake get together it’s a crowd pleaser; their latest collaboration is no exception. Take a break for five minutes and luxuriate in their kooky choreography for Outkast and Drake.

We’ve seen it done with cars, bikes, and at least attempted on a longboard, but stuntman Damien Walters recently pulled off what we have long thought was impossible – running fast enough to do a 360° loop. Sonic Spin Dash IRL!

Lovers of Rube Goldberg, music and history, have we got the thing for you – a clever 90 second chronicle of recorded music, told through spoken word and a chain reaction show made from assorted musical equipment. (Thanks Steve!)

(NSFW) It turns out that for many years, the Academy Award’s most prized golden statuette had an anatomically-correct appendage. Let us now meet Henrik Baranowski, the sculptor of Oscar’s junk. (Thanks Carl!)

(NSFW: Langauge) Stand up comedian Reginald D. Hunter starts with a tired joke, then goes off on a Vsauce-level tangent trip, displaying profound sincerity and wisdom and even pointing us to a great short film. But then…

(NSFW: Language) We’ve encountered lazy pizza delivery drivers who don’t bother to come right to our door, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. In fact, he takes it to the third floor without coming up the stairs.

(NSFW: Language) Conan stepped out of his office to once again ruin people’s productivity, but he ends up making someone’s day. Watch him make a bouquet, dish out advice on giving flowers and make a wife forget about her husband.

Smooth surfaces. Perfect shapes. Palette swaps. Movable light source. Exploded objects. Green screens. Glitches. Copy. Paste. Edit. Synthesized. Created. Alan Warburton’s Spherical Harmonics is a surreal exhibition of the nature of CGI.

After sketching what he thought things looked like, Blind Film Critic Tommy Edison attempts to create user-requested objects using Play-Doh. We’re disappointed he didn’t sculpt Lionel Ritchie’s bust at the end.

Jimmy Fallon revisits his real-life Twitter conversation skit. This time he goes catchphrase crazy with Jonah Hill. Their back and forth quickly escalates when they turn into human hyperlinks until they’re abruptly shut down.

Prankster Jack Vale hung out at the 2014 NAMM convention, freaking out passersby by mentioning their names loud enough for them to overhear. It helps that everyone was wearing name badges, of course.

Jimmy Fallon’s industrious video editor is back with his masterpiece, the best edition of Brian Williams: Gangsta Rapper yet. Watch the news anchor say a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie to the hip-hip-hop with the NBC gang.

We’re reasonably certain the teeth-chattering pooch in this clip isn’t actually making chainsaw sounds, but the spot-on audio editing by Talking Animals sure makes it seem plausible. The least he could do is gnaw through a twig, right?

Steven Millward was injured falling from a rodeo horse 20 years ago. He now relies on horse whisperer Grant Golliher to help manage his herd. But despite his physical setbacks, Steven is still a cowboy in the deepest recesses of his soul.

Jimmy Fallon rounds up the ol’ Ragtime Gals on his new late night show to cover R. Kelly’s undying club staple, Ignition (Remix). We think it’s cool and all, but the audience is way too pumped up for this – pumped up for thiiiis! – ahem. Sorry.
