In case you were letting the prospect of Benedict Cumberbatch in 'Star Trek Into Darkness' get you all worked up, here's Screen Junkies reminding you exactly what the last 'Star Trek' movie really was. Will we even be able to see Cumberbatch's face through all the lens flares? After watching this Honest Trailer, we're not sure.
These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.
Ugh. We need to get new hobbies. This guy makes awesome stop-motion animations on whiteboards, and our hobby is to watch them. Oh well, at least it's highly enjoyable. This particular video is based on the video game Street Fighter, clearly
We love sloths. There's no question. But we can't spend all day looking at them online-- sometimes we have to take a break to order food from Seamless or run a damp sponge over our body. Worse, sometimes we actually have to leave the apartment. To combat this, we've taken sloths and given them everyday jobs, so we can imagine the people we have to talk to are sloths while we're talking to them. That's normal, right?
CalArts student Madeline Sharafian made this to show how meaningful it is to cook for somebody you love. In this case it at least means nobody chops off their fingers because their exhausted.
Don't be confused by the fact that this video starts with a lady feeding a bunch of kangaroos -- this IS a video of a lady rocking out on the spoons. The kangaroo intro merely adds to its general amazingness.
ANAR, a Spanish organization that helps at-risk children, found an interesting way to target only the people who needed their services, without their parents finding out they wanted to get help -- a lenticular photo.
A few months ago, YouTube comedy channel Whatever 2ND struck gold when they filmed a homeless man do a pretty ridiculous trick with his mustache. The video went viral, and today it has over 1.7 million views.
Russian dash cams are always a good source of mayhem, but that's not all there is to that country. There are also lots of cats, and old ladies who need help crossing the street, and cars stuck in the snow.
What's the best part of the Kentucky Derby? The hats? The horse racing? The glasses filled with cold, cold whiskey? We couldn't decide, so we put some hats on some horses to help us figure it out. It didn't help. We'll make up our mind tomorrow when the race is over.
We wish somebody would follow us around and animate our drunken brilliance. Although, to be fair, arguing over the lyrics to a Go-Go's song is not nearly as entertaining as this joke, told by Adam Patch's wife after she drank an entire bottle of wine.
To be honest, we haven't watched 'The Matrix' in probably 13 years, so we'd just like to thank this guy's mom for the refresher! Although we're pretty sure the dude's name is Morpheus, not Moshimo. Regardless, we're pretty sure this is a fairly accurate plot synopsis, and the accompanying animation keeps us from nodding off like we usually do when somebody tells us what a movie is about.
