Even Santa Poops

(Gross) You’d better watch out. Even good old Saint Nick needs to make the occasional pitstop between toy deliveries. The guys from Poo-Pourri have a suggestion for something to leave out alongside the milk and cookies this year.

Grandma Weightlifter

Grandma Weightlifter

Sis, do you even – oh. Grandmother and competitive weightlifter Willie Murphy started training with 5lb. weights at her local YMCA. Now the 77-year old can deadlift 215lb. That’s more than twice her weight.

Mini-Drones vs. R/C Cars

The guys from Corridor Digital orchestrated this battle between a motley assortment of remote-controlled racers, joined by an army of flying drones equipped with deadly weapons. Many toys were harmed in the making of this film.

Perpetual Disappointments Diary

A hilariously dark twist on the daily journal, including demotivational affirmations, reminders of notable deaths, a contacts section for people who never call, and places to jot down pointless doodles and ideas you’ll never follow up on.

How to Remove Your Mustache

How to Remove Your Mustache

…that’s right, “remove.” Mehdi Sadaghdar took some time off from explaining electronics basics to try out ways of removing his mustache other than simply shaving it with a razor. Respect to those who wax. Seriously.

Dart Machine Gun

Dart Machine Gun

Joerg Sprave took a break from making ridiculously overpowered slingshots to make a ridiculously overpowered dart launcher using a drill and some clothespins. At around 2:12 it’s like he’s thinking, “What the hell am I doing?”

Macedonian illustrator Enkel Dika created this record-smashing tee design perfect for fans of music on vinyl, horses or music on vinyl for horses. Available in turquoise or white, 100% preshrunk cotton jersey.

Firecracker Insanity

Firecracker Insanity

As part of a Chinese celebration, organizers set off an unfathomable number of firecrackers with a single fuse. And here we thought the kids playing with them in our alley made too much noise. Skip to 1:20.

Pole Position

Pole Position

If you ever find yourself needing to climb up a slender and branch-less tree, just remember this old man’s technique. All you need is a plant to use as a foot strap, and gigantic balls for when you have to go back down.

Shark Cats

Illustrator Brynn Metheney was doodling on her sketchpad when a monster arose from her pages: the Shark Cat. She ended up making 12 different Shark Cat breeds and compiled them on a 2015 calendar. Expect a call from SyFy, Brynn.

Beat Down

Beat Down

(NSFW) Two bikers get in a no-holds-barred race down the hills of Moab, Utah. No rules, no roads, no fear. A hell of a stunt film from Camp 4 Collective.  The song is Behind the Crooked Cross by Slayer.

Le Grand Hat

Le Grand Hat

Florent Biais & Aubrey Richardson combined headgear from two different eras and came up with something so stupid it circled back to being awesome. Le Grand Hat combines the height of a tophat with the shape of a baseball cap.

Split or Steal?

Split or Steal?

The final portion of the game show Golden Balls is Split or Steal, a test of wit and morals similar to the Prisoner’s Dilemma. So how do you reduce the risk of deception? Faith in your fellow man’s goodness? Not exactly.

Milli Chair

Duffy London’s tongue-in-cheek bedroom chair has way more legs than it needs, just like the weird myriapodous arthropods that inspired it. Put two together for a creepy crawly chaise lounge. Handmade in London.

World’s Simplest Electric Train

World’s Simplest Electric Train

While some model railroads can be incredibly complicated, this one is constructed from nothing more than a copper wire, tiny magnets and a dry cell battery. We wonder how big a track you could make using this method.

Little Drummer Boy without Music

Little Drummer Boy without Music

Mario Wienerroither turns Grinch and spoils a childhood memory, removing the music from Bing Crosby & David Bowie’s unexpectedly classic live duet of The Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth. Best enjoyed if you’ve got no holiday spirit.

Psych Ward Skateboarding

A creepy old psychiatric hospital in New York serves as the backdrop for JENKEM’s skateboarding video. We were waiting for them to bump into the crew from one of those ghost hunters’ TV shows. Some great still photos here.
