Awesome Weird

It’s been a while since we checked in with The Food Surgeon, but his practice seems to be going strong. In his latest video, he helps to ensure a grape Red Vine has proper flow so it can be used as a drinking straw. Also how can something purple be called a Red Vine?

While the proper way to play a record is with a needle, it turns out that other sharp objects will do the trick, if not quite as well. Michael Ridge puts some bird songs on his turntable, then played them with the beak from a seagull’s skull. The bird is the word.

There’s nothing more to Stan Krzyzanowski’s video than a bunch of random metal objects being dropped one by one onto stacks of rare earth magnets, yet somehow it was compelling enough to hook us right from the start and make us watch all 99 seconds anyhow.

We almost think that our lack of understanding the language makes this reel of wacky ads from JPCMHD all the more entertaining. The formula seems simple: any combo of animals, anime, boy bands, girl bands, cosplay, singing, and group choreography will do.

Well, here’s one of the stranger contraptions we’ve ever laid eyes on. This special machine can pick up an entire cow, and gently lay it on its side so farmhands can safely trim its hooves. And yes, it’s totally normal to use a disc grinder, so don’t freak out.

Hailing from Portugal, beatboxer JEWOW loses his mind, flails his arms wildly, and rattles our eardrums, as he demonstrates his ability to create some absolutely insane sounds with his mouth. Also, Fargo guy plays the drumsticks.

June 19, 2016: Warriors Cavs Game 7. Game of Thrones episode 9. And Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared 6. Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling’s psychological horror series reaches its climax, and Yellow Guy reaches his breaking point. Now we’re scared of lamps.

From the underappreciated corner of YouTube comes musician Simon Fransman. He loves to make covers and original songs using voice synthesizers, then combines them with hilariously creepy computer animation.

This wacky piggy bank from SHINE Japan makes it look like you’re shredding your cash, when in fact it’s actually saving your bills. Designed for Japanese currency, but works with U.S. bills and most others.

The villains from classic Japanese horror flicks The Ring and The Grudge recently opened a baseball match in Japan’s premier league. The actors were promoting an upcoming movie starring the two characters.

The always on, slightly off Perez Bros share this little gem in which we compare how something as sexy as a woman eating a Red Vine can quickly become completely wrong and disturbing if a guy attempts the same sort of thing.

“Whoever scores the celestial dance of the comet most evocatively will be named the Lord of Synth.” Three legendary musicians compete for the coveted title of Lord of Synth in Adult Swim’s awesome parody of synth icons Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder and Wendy Carlos.

Instrument maker and musician Leonard Solomon shows off another one of his unusual contraptions. The Oomphalapompatronium uses a crank, belts, bladders, bottles, and PVC pipe to create something that sounds like a pipe organ with frog in its throat.

(PG-13: Language) “I take two bits of bread and a lovely filling, put it all together and I make a killing!” Aunty Donna ends its underappreciated web series 1999 with a story about Sammy McGee, a schizophrenic sandwich vendor.

One of the more unusual bits from the How It’s Made series takes us to a creepy factory filled with hand-shaped ceramic molds that wind their way through a lengthy assembly line, and then dipped in rubber and heated in an oven. Seriously, did Tim Burton create this place?

To celebrate Easter, the always precise, frequently gross Food Surgeon took our favorite artificially-colored marshmallow baby chickens, and impregnated one with the gooey innards Cadbury Creme Egg candy. Wrong? Yes. Delicious? Most definitely.

An oddly soothing (and just plain odd) cover of Radiohead’s 1997 dark societal commentary No Surprises played entirely on kazoo. The fact that it took over 5 years for the internet to discover this video is astounding.

From the “because it could be done” file: Jean Yves Blondeau’s rather silly looking ski suit allows him to ski using not just his feet, but also with his hands, chest or back. While it looks insane at times, it’s also a great way to make your falls look intentional.

John Kricfalusi’s 1990s cartoon The Ren & Stimpy Show is a true animation classic, combining artistic detail, gross-out gags, and weirdness a plenty. The Nerdwriter explores the show’s defiance of norms which made it stand out from the crowd.

This odd contraption by artist Peter William Holden uses a series of eight robotic arms which move fedoras in sync with a musical track. By the end, you’ll be imagining a group of invisible dancers wearing said hats. Also, we’re pretty sure we found their feet.

After performing an Oreo cream transplant, clinical comedian The Food Surgeon cuts open an avocado so they can inject its pit with… avocado juice? That just ruined avocado shakes for us.

Meet The Food Surgeon. Apparently we should take this YouTube channel’s name as literally as possible. Watch as they take a donor cream filling from an Oreo cookie and transplant it into a Reese’s peanut butter cup.

Take a dizzying ride on the inside of a clothes washing machine as it accelerates up to 1200 rpm during its spin cycle. We don’t recommend running your GoPro through the entire wash cycle if your camera is dirty though.
