Shrimp doesn’t really take that long to cook, but this commercial for Japanese mobile carrier Docomo shows how you can fry shrimp in less than three seconds – with the right equipment – and the appropriate death metal track.

Old Spice: Dad Song

Old Spice: Dad Song

Old Spice follows up on its totally wacked out Mom Song with a tune by FotC’s Bret McKenzie about a little boy growing up to be a man because he used scented body sprays. Dad seems a lot happier that Junior has grown up than Mom does.

Packing Tape Cat

Packing Tape Cat

Cats are persnickety creatures, so sometimes they wig out when they hear strange noises. In the case of this one feline, it has the weirdest possible reaction when its owner unrolls packing tape. Apparently this also works with measuring tapes.

Making Food, Play-Doh Style

Making Food, Play-Doh Style

For the series Good Mythical Morning, Rhett and Link create a number of edible items using the tools kids use to work with Play-Doh. While it’s not the most appetizing way to prepare food, it’s got to taste better than Play-Doh itself. Or not.

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared 3

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared 3

The latest video in Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling’s series of surreal and inappropriate “children’s” videos, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared 3 sets out to teach us about love and loneliness, but ends up just freaking us out as usual.

An Armadillo and His Toy

An Armadillo and His Toy

Armadillos like playing with toys? Who knew that was a thing? Described hilariously by one b3ta commenter as “a cross between a cat and a beetle”, this little guy named Rollie seems to enjoy kicking around his toy pig.

KFC: Fried Chicken Keyboard

To celebrate Colonel Sanders’ 124th birthday, KFC Japan is giving away a keyboard that has fried chicken keys and the worst Esc button we’ve ever seen. It will also give away a fried chicken mouse, flash drive and earrings.

Mascot Road Rage

Mascot Road Rage

We have no idea what prompted the violence, but the guy who received the beatdown from Mickey Mouse, Spongebob Squarepants, Scrat the Squirrel and some elephant is going to be nursing his bruised ego more than any physical injuries.

Malfunction

Malfunction

Animator Cyriak’s latest clip is as trippy as they come. It starts off with a creepy dog-like manifestation of himself crawling out of the drain and just escalates from there. Warning: May cause nightmares and hallucinations.

OMOTE

OMOTE

One of the most mindbending uses of projection mapping demonstrates how a model’s face can be digitally replaced when the tech is combined with real-time face tracking. If you happen to live in Tokyo, see a live demo on 8/28/14.

The Killer Worm

The Killer Worm

Eunice aphroditois is one of Mother Nature’s truly awful creations. This predator lies in wait in the ocean floor, taking down its prey with teeth so sharp that it often slices it in half. Oh, and they can grow to 10 feet long.

The Average Face of Doctor Who

The Average Face of Doctor Who

YouTuber Dave Clipson looks at what Doctor Who might look like if all 13 of his main variants were combined into one meta-Doctor. While the combo of Matt Smith and David Tennant looks normal, most others seem downright creepy.

Turn Down for What without Music

Turn Down for What without Music

(NSFW?) We already had to wash our eyeballs out with soap the first time we watched the video for DJ Snake and Lil’ Jon’s Turn Down for What. Now that College Humor has had their way with it, we might be scarred for life.

Party Bus

Party Bus

(NSFW: Language) Duuuudes! Bros! Let’s get sh*tfaced and ride on the drunk bus and partaaaay! This hilariously weird clip from FoxADHD shows us what happens when we let our party buses party too much.

Holy Grail Unipiper

Holy Grail Unipiper

Portland’s Brian “Unipiper” Kidd has been seen roaming the city dressed as Arthur, King of the Britains, along with his coconut-clacking squire, making the sound effect even more nonsensical due to the fact that Arthur is riding a unicycle.

The Deepest Voice

The Deepest Voice

Ken Turner of Southern gospel group Crystal River Boys can hit a deep bass note that sounds like he swallowed an Octobass. Skip to 3:30 for the good part. Say, wasn’t there a Mythbusters about this? Or was it South Park?

Flying Robot Orchestra

Flying Robot Orchestra

KMel Robotics talented team of flying drones shows off their musical prowess, playing drums, keyboards, bells, and strings. Sure, it’s all a little odd sounding, but you try being in a band with no hands or arms while hovering in the air.

Ghost Car

Ghost Car

You know when someone gets into an accident and says “the other guy came out of nowhere?” In Russia, it really does happen. Just try and wrap your head around the car in this video that does seem to materialize out of thin air.

Chicken Beauty Pageants

Chicken Beauty Pageants

Photographer Ernest Goh talks about the subject of his latest book: ornamental chickens. To document these unusual models, Ernest went around Malaysia, where chicken beauty pageants are held nearly every week across the country.

Yoshimi Battles Miley Cyrus

(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.

PlotClock

PlotClock

This lonely little robot has just one job to do – to tell the time by writing it down, then erasing it, over and over and over again. Even though it has no feelings, we’ve attached some and decided it’s the world’s most depressed robot.

Goat Simulator

Goat Simulator

Watch out Flappy Bird. Independent game developer Coffee Stain Studios presents the next big thing in gaming. Or not. They were just fooling around with “programming stuff” and decided to make this video.

Chimpnology

Chimpnology

Animator Cyriak dips back into the wacky sauce once more, this time creating a trippy short film based on old footage of monkeys banging on typewriters. We were waiting for them to write some Shakespeare, but that never happened.
