Artist Karl Gude proves the true value of a sharp pencil and a good eraser as he morphs a single sketch into 30 different faces on the same spot. We’re impressed that he didn’t wear through the paper. His drumming, on the other hand…

Ian Matheson and his son Oliver were in Africa’s Mjejane Reserve when they stumbled onto a buffalo rescuing another from a lion attack by flipping the predator into the air. Apparently, all of the animals walked away unscathed.

After watching this clip of a Russian soldier spitting beats faster than an electronic drum machine, we almost felt the need to wipe his saliva off our monitors. Thankfully, YouTube hasn’t perfected SpitSurround technology yet.

Sherlock Holmes hit a dead end in his search for a mysterious doctor. Turns out all he had to do was wait. John Smith intricately combined scenes from the two hit BBC series to make this neat video. The VFX breakdown is just as cool.

Alex Boye’s energetic and intense rendition of Lorde’s hit track is further proof that cover versions can be better than the original. Though he’s a bit frightening in the Christmas wreath getup. Buy the track on iTunes or Bandcamp.

A boy loses his glasses, leaving him able to focus on only one object at a time, led by the sounds they make. Nicolai Troshinsky hand made paper puppets and painted on glass to make his award-winning short film.

We’re guessing Paul Rudd and Jason Segel were stoned when doing this interview for I Love You Man back in ’09. Watch them play word association, talk about ghost bros and focus on Paul Rudd’s freaky smile/Noah Wyle impression.

A sense of urgency is a mainstay of the Lord of the Rings films but it’s hard to not glaze over when forced to sit through yet another sequence of determined heroes hoofing it hard. Thanks to Slate for proving we’re not just imagining things.

Diners at this restaurant were treated to a reading of the day’s specials by their server. It’s just that this particular day, the waiter was planted there by CollegeHumor. We’re having the anchflousalmtrout.

I need your clothes, your cowboy boots and your stallion. On a recent visit to the National Finals Rodeo, Arnold Schwarzenegger took the opportunity to go horseback riding. Though his steed is more Pinkie Pie than Secretariat.

Yes, the ping pong knife trick video was debunked as being done with VFX, but that doesn’t make it any less fun to watch. Now the Tumba Ping Pong Show ups the ante, this time embracing the visual trickery.
