Call of Cthulhu Explained

Call of Cthulhu Explained

The Brothers Grim and Grimy explain the dark world of H.P. Lovecraft in under 2 minutes, with cartoony animations and an inappropriate narrator. At least we now know how to pronounce Cthulhu.

Trailer: I’M STILL HERE

Trailer: I’M STILL HERE

After all the hype, here’s the first trailer for Casey Affleck’s documentary about his oddball brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix and his real or fake meltdown. Either way, we think he’s nuts.

Pokémon Music Video

Pokémon Music Video

We’re not sure if the kids in this Pokémon music video are serious or if they were trying to be funny. Either way, their video alternates between hilarious and disturbing.

Kris Kuksi Sculpture

Kris Kuksi is an American artist whose distaste for typical American life and pop culture shows in his extraordinary, grotesque sculptures, which focus on the fallacies and fragility of mankind.

World’s Largest Lederhosen

World’s Largest Lederhosen

Somebody had to do it, right? Tailor Walter Sinnhofer’s massive pants weigh over 110 lbs, and measure over 15 feet tall. Same guy holds the record for the world’s smallest (38mm) too.

Pepsi White

Pepsi White

If you’re looking for something calming to wash down that can of Pepsi Strong Shot, you might want to try a bottle of this yogurt-flavored oddity which turned up a while back on shelves in Japan.

Burnt Toast Mona Lisa

Burnt Toast Mona Lisa

The fact that an artist named “Toastman” has been making giant artworks out of burnt toast for the last 10 years is awesome enough, but his latest, da Vinci’s classic, is a true masterpiece (of toast).

Dancing Pigeons – Ritalin

Dancing Pigeons – Ritalin

Just the very idea of a music video that features the epic conflict between flamethrower and fire extinguisher piqued our curiosity. But watching this clip in all it’s slow-mo glory is truly epic.

SMSlingshot

SMSlingshot

Berlin’s VR/Urban put together this strange contraption: a slingshot, which when fired, sends an SMS message through the air and lands it on a big screen. Weird, but cool when you see it.

Cheeseburger in a Can

Cheeseburger in a Can

We can’t think of a more delightful meal than a pre-cooked cheeseburger, vacuum-sealed inside a pop-top can. We’re pretty sure it won’t look like the burger in the photo when you open the can.

Portable Watermelon Cooler

Portable Watermelon Cooler

File this one under the “one-trick-pony” category. There’s something just so wrong it’s right about this ridiculous Japanese invention that’s perfect for cooling a watermelon, or maybe a head.

Pay & Sit Bench

Pay & Sit Bench

Ever go out on a nice day to sit outside with your lunch, only to find every damned park bench is occupied already? Pay & Sit: The Private Bench puts an end to that problem.

Jell-O San Francisco

Trailer: Alien vs. Ninja

Trailer: Alien vs. Ninja

This indie from Japan has massive sword fights, space aliens with big pointy teeth, dayglo magenta blood spurts and cheesy Japanese-to-English subtitled dialogue. What’s not to like?

Beer Bottle Limbo

Beer Bottle Limbo

Check out this 90 second clip of a dude named Emperor Duke doing the limbo under 8″ beer bottles. Yep, you read that right. The yoga looks like it’s really paying off. (Thanks Chris!)

The Astroghini

The Astroghini

The unholy offspring of minivan and exotic car, it’s one of the stranger vehicles to hit eBay in some time. The mutant 1994 Astro has a thrilling 4.3 liter turbo V-6 and 211,615 miles on the odo.

“Handsome Guy” Mask

“Handsome Guy” Mask

We thought the weird looking dude in this video was a CGI effect, but it’s an insanely hyper-real silicone mask from the guys at SPFXMasks. If we saw this guy on the street, we’d run the other way.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All

Gotta Catch ‘Em All

Danny Fong must REALLY love Pokémon (or is the plural Pokémons)? His insane A capella performance is bound to blow up on the viral charts this week. Seriously, what’s with all the v-necks?

OK Go vs. The Muppets

OK Go vs. The Muppets

OK Go and the Muppets were out at the Webby Awards, and something funny happened backstage. OK Go drummer Dan Konopka got into an epic staring contest with Animal. Guess who won?

National Moustache Champion

National Moustache Champion

Larry McClure isn’t just any old guy. He’s the proud winner of the very first National Moustache Competition. It’s one spectacular masterpiece of facial hair. We kid you not.

The History of the Typewriter

The History of the Typewriter

Remember Michael Winslow? You know, the guy with the stupid sound effects in the Police Academy flicks? Well, here he is doing what he does best. Here’s your 21 minute history lesson for the day.
