Here's a little video to get you into the spirit of Christmas, if you're kind of trampy. Nate, Caitlin and Stuart set up shop on the campus of Brigham Young University to trick as many people as possible into kissing them by using a sprig of renegade mistletoe that drops down at a moment's notice. They are braver than we -- the whole time we watched this all we could think was "Herpes! Herpes! Herpes alert!"
Sure, everyone agrees that the 'Lord of the Rings' movies are great. But let's be real -- there's a whoooole lot of walking. Plus, we can't see Sean Astin without thinking "Rudy plumped up." So, yes, we love this 'Honest Trailer' for the movie. Th
It's nearly Christmas, which means we should probably watch 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' pretty soon. Thanks to this video, we'll be prepared to dance along.
It's nice to know that Google isn't just harvesting information about us and selling it to advertisers. Look! They also used our searches to make this video! The video, 'Zeitgeist 2012: Year In Review,' shows the top (non-porn) search terms for the last year and includes video as much as possible
Look closely. That weather pattern looks kind of like Godzilla, no? The folks at Fun 107 think so, and are calling it "Weather Godzilla."
"But does it have a novelty Twitter account?," you may be asking. Why yes. Yes it does. Weather
Grumpy Cat thinks she looks like other cats. And she doesn't hate everything -- she really likes Starbucks coffee cake, for example. If you, like us, are obsessed with Tard the Grumpy Cat, this is a must-see video. You'll learn about her fears, hopes, and dream
Just because it's legal to do it on your own time in Colorado, doesn't mean you can drug your whole class. Two University of Colorado students in Boulder thought it would be funny to bring pot brownies to a morning class to share. Then a bunch of people who ate them had freak-
outs. Suddenly it was not so fun.
Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!
Jonathan Mann has written a song a day every day for almost 1,300 days. Seriously. A lot of them are very silly, but he and his girlfriend broke up yesterday, and they did a song about that. It is maybe the best breakup song ever written, because of its sincerity, maturity and plea for friends to still invite both of them to the same parties.
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.
