A group of kids just can’t get enough of a donkey’s unique ability in this hilariously warped animated short by Ben Meinhardt. The minimal, but gut-busting premise reminds us of Marv Newland’s classic Bambi Meets Godzilla.

A Video on Wes Anderson Videos

A Video on Wes Anderson Videos

(PG-13 Language) Dominick Nero got sick of seeing essays, parodies and other videos based on Wes Anderson’s films. So he decided to make a video about them. Hmmm. He also forgot what “supercut” means. Great edit though.

The Avengers (Trailer 3)

Here are Earth’s Mightiest Heroes – a war hero, a sharpshooter, two geniuses and a god. Also someone with a pistol. Seriously Black Widow, you better have special bullets in that gun of yours.

Asura’s Wrath (Trailer 3)

Asura’s Wrath (Trailer 3)

Can an action game be over-the-top and still have a decent story? Yep. Asura’s Wrath is not that game though. But if it plays as good as it looks, screw the story. Bring on the planet-sized enemies.

Star Wars + Bacon. Two great tastes that taste great together. This 3-foot tall Bacon AT-AT is made from 40 lbs of pork products and proves there must be a god somewhere out there.

Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titans

Say what you will about Hollywood action flicks, but this teaser for Clash of the Titans looks god-awesome: Kratos would do well to take some pointers from Perseus. Thanks, everyone!

Funny: Microsoft Fune

Funny: Microsoft Fune

We actually like the Zune, but this Microsoft Fune does such a good job poking fun at “backwards” compatibility that we couldn’t help but laugh; AOL + Microsoft = please God, no.

Mountain Dew x WoW

Seeing two hot chicks go at it in the supermarket over Mountain Dew is about as likely as seeing the same two playing World of Warcraft, so consider the TV spot above a gift from the gods.
