Awesome Weird

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

Cliff Maynard created this image of renown pot smoker Willie Nelson entirely from the burnt roach papers from the butts of joints. He’s also made Bob Marley and Snoop Dogg among others. Prints limited to an edition of 420, natch.

“An old man died…but look a computer!” Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling’s adult puppet show takes on the concept of time. Also one of the characters invented his dad.  Sesame Street must have ruined Becky and Joe’s childhoods.

Not to be confused with Boston Brand’s spectral alter ego, Rush_Freak’s Deadman is literally that: a dead man. He possesses a can-do attitude that most of us with warm bodies don’t have. Mostly because we can feel pain. And die.

(NSFW/Flashing lights) Is your life devoid of weirdness and nightmares? Let’s remedy that with this Adult Swim feature about a man who makes virtual replicas of people. From Alan Resnick, the comedian behind Alantutorial.

Drunk guy on the floor. Check. Annoyed cat. Check. Off-key song cover. Check. This short, nonsensical video clip has everything required to make for an Internet classic. What song would you serenade your cat with?

Time-lapse footage of one of nature’s more unusual and somewhat disgusting processes, as a giant spider crab discards its old shell to make way for a new one to grow. Jump to 0:53 in the video for the big reveal.

Following up on last year’s Christmas Sweatz, Rhett and Link are back with their friends to bring a little random holiday cheer our way – perhaps starting a new Christmas trend to replace ugly sweaters along the way. Or not.

This old footage of racing in Holland starts out ordinarily. But watch for a second more and you’ll notice something is askew. That’s because the racers are driving backwards… and then played back in reverse to really screw with our heads.

A short film by Samuel Blain about strange recurring dreams, in which the individuals reporting on their experiences have their heads replaced with physical manifestations of their bad dreams. Now we’re gonna have weird dreams.

wow. so animation. much soundtrack. Weebl’s Stuff takes a page out of Nyan Cat’s book, creating an infections little video featuring the Internet’s favorite shibe doge. Nope, it still makes no sense, but we love it anyway.

We prefer the moniker “birddogs” for these amusing hybrid animals created by carefully merging dogs and birds into a new species – courtesy of Adobe Photoshop. We definitely wouldn’t want to get hit by falling dird poop.

(NSFW: Language) Conan O’Brien handed the task of creating a highlight reel to animators Cyriak and Nick denBoer, resulting in a triptastic ride through the show’s past season. We wouldn’t expect any less from the guy who made this.

In Japan, it’s considered bad form for women to open their mouths wide to eat. Freshness Burger came up with a simple solution to this problem – a wrapper which lets them hide their big mouths while they chomp into their giant burgers.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream (unless you’re lactose intolerant.) But how’d you like to be the ice cream itself? Animator Steve Cutts gives us some perspective on the tragic lives lived from the other side of the cone.

While you could go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art or MoMA, if you’re looking for a NYC museum you can get through in minutes, not hours, check out Museum, a tiny Chinatown exhibit space featuring everyday curiosities.

Puddles is a 7-foot-tall clown – with the voice of an angel. While we’re a bit perplexed by the concept, there’s no denying his musical talent, as he cranks out an awesome cover of Royals by Lorde – that dare we say it – bests the original.

David Lewandowski and his hilariously weird floppy man are back. The video is called “Late for Meeting.”David describes it as “my summer vacation.” None of those explain what’s in the video. But then again what can?
