Awesome Weird

What happens when you cover a car with thermochromic paint and it gets wet? Something pretty cool, as shown in this clip of a Nissan Skyline that’s been pimped out with the stuff. It’s also great for messing with car wash workers.

Boston Dynamics is at it once again. This time, they’re showing off a robot that can gallop and bound around like some sort of crazed, headless packmule. You won’t outrun its 16mph top speed, but at least you can hear it coming.

We can’t imagine riding on this modded scooter is particularly comfortable – or safe – but we definitely think it deserves some sort of prize for what could possibly be the lowest motorized passenger vehicle we’ve ever seen.

If you’ve ever been tempted to stand atop a pile of corn (huh?) watch this video and learn why you never want to attempt such a stunt. Though you might be able to get out quickly if they just microwaved the whole bin.

This guy going by the moniker “Incredibeard” does silly things with his dense facial hair. Here, he uses his beard as a bowl for his lunch. All we can say is that he better take a really long shower after this. More beard insanity here.

We’re not even sure what to say about this commercial for Mercedes-Benz’ Intelligent Drive Magic Body Control ride stability system, but it’s got chickens getting their groove on to Donna Summer and that’s all you really need to know.

More footage of the rarest of cat breeds: the vacuum cat. If you’re feeling down, turn up the volume and bask in the sound of air caressing a cat’s tongue. And ask YouTuber CatAndHoover if it’s really just air coming out of the tube.

We’ve seen at least one of these crazy sports before, but Buzzfeed was kind enough to dig up a few more for us, and compiled them into a single 2 minute clip for those of you who prefer your content in bite-sized chunks.

This commercial for bathroom freshener Poo-Poourri features a delightful lady whose radiant beauty and pleasant demeanor is matched only by her nasty poop-related puns. It left us chuckling but also moderately confused.

A peek at the insanity that is Ski Jumping Pairs, a pachinko game that was ported to the PSP and PlayStation 2. The game was made by Riichiro Mashima, who would later go on to make the even more insane Japan World Cup games.

This animated commercial for a Japanese lighter and USB drive has so many mind-boggling aspects. First off, it’s over two minutes long. Second, it looks like it was made two decades ago. Third, everything else.

We’ve heard numerous cool and unusual cover versions of Adele’s hit theme to Skyfall. But we’re going out on a limb and guess you’ve never heard it sung by a Russian military choir. Bonus points: Salute when the chorus kicks in.

So you’re hanging out on the beach, taking in a warm, sunny day when this happens. A massive 600-ton Russian military hovercraft decides to take over the place. No amount of SPF will protect you from this.

The strangest car you’ll see today. Speedycop has flipped the godawful 1999 Chevy Camaro on its head, leaving its wheels and undercarriage pointing towards the sky, while hiding a working drivetrain low to the ground.

A veritable sea of people floats in a just-opened wave pool in China awaiting the first wave’s arrival. One can only assume that personal space isn’t an issue in China. We can only hope they don’t sell Baby Ruth bars there.

We’ll just say this now – you might have weird dreams tonight if you watch this clip created by Mike Pelletier which explores what happens when the digitally-controlled facial expressions on CGI models are pushed beyond normal limits. Eesh.

Ever wondered what happens to all of the blood, guts and ooze left all over the floors and walls after an FPS? This simulator puts you in the role of the janitor who has to clean up the mess left behind. Check it out on Steam Greenlight.

We’re not sure why so much weird stuff happens in Russia, but here’s some footage of two giant concrete slabs that can’t stop moving around. We can only imagine it’s some sort of demon trying to escape the sewers.

(NSFW: Language) Superheroes can have some unusual personas and powers, but we have to say that Dr. Bees wins our award for best superpower – if you can call releasing a crap-ton of bees a superpower.

Barcelona-based art direction collaborative Dvein have used their talents to create a surreal and stunning animated liquid landscape for Magma, the new single from The Vein.

From Jeff “Speedycop” Block and The Gang of Outlaws, comes the unholy offspring of a 1956 Cessna 310 airplane and a Toyota minivan. All told, it only cost $2600 to build. Watch it drag race here. Just don’t expect it to fly.

80’s themes, energy drinks, zombies and MJ dance moves. Now that we’ve viewed this video by itinerant party planners Matinee, it’s still unclear what we’re watching, but it may be the greatest thing ever produced. (Thanks Mike!)

It starts out like any other slightly awkward educational video, but this clip descends into utter madness the longer and longer you stick around through its 3-minute lesson. We’re using that “Galaxy” move the next time we eat out.
