Parallel parking can be tough. But it can also be oh-so-entertaining. This video follows the exploits of a woman in Belfast, Ireland trying to parallel park her car, all the while unaware she’s being taped and on the fast track to viral superstardom.

Drew Weisholtz — Wed, 01 May 2013 11:10:56 +0000

Dave Evans is being forced to pick up the pieces. The British puzzle maker recently went for a Guinness World Record by constructing a 40,000-piece jigsaw puzzle – only to have the whole thing fall apart. Evans, 60, had put the finishing touches on the 19-and-a-half-by-eight-foot puzzle before it fell to the ground and broke. [...]

Never Do 'The Harlem Shake' By a Bonfire, People

Eddie Wright — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:49:09 +0000

They said the ‘Harlem Shake‘ was hot, but this is ridiculous. In case you were living in a cave for the past few months, the ‘Harlem Shake’ is a silly viral video trend that involves one guy or gal dancing alone to the dubstep-y Baauer tune. Then as the music reaches its crescendo, a big [...]

Zooey Deschanel Mistakenly Named a Boston Bombing Suspect

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:46:20 +0000

It's hard to imagine 'New Girl' star Zooey Deschanel as anything besides a wide-eyed, manic-pixie dream girl who just wants to spread good vibes and quirkiness.

Which is why folks in Dallas must've been a bit confused on Friday when the local Fox affiliate fingered Deschanel as a suspect in last week's tragic Boston Marathon bombing. "He is 19 year old Zoey Deschanel," read the caption, which was meant to refer to the now captured Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.

19 Fails That Probably Cost Someone Their Job

Emerald Catron — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:02:44 +0000

Listen, we get it. Of all people, we get it. Sometimes you let an errant comma slip. Maybe you don't notice that something is a sentence fragment because you're riding the waves of hangover nausea. We understand that sometimes being an editor is rough, but how the how do you wind up with a headline that looks like it says "Rapefruit Good for every meal"?

Sometimes somebody has one job to do…JUST ONE…and they can’t even get it right. These are those times. Here are our favorite examples of the latest internet meme that involves somebody screwing up one simple task. ONE. You had one job, bananas. You had one job, strawberries. You had one job, record store guy. You [...]

Boat Tow Goes Horribly, Horribly Wrong

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:44:20 +0000

When we saw the way the camera was oriented in this video we got a bad feeling. When the first words we heard were a man screaming “YIPSKIDDLY DOO,” it got worse. When the guy providing the tow started shouting for a beer, the wincing began. And then it happened. And we felt terrible. Source: [...]

Cringe At Russell Westbrook's Bizarre Airball Fail

GuySpeed Editors — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:01:17 +0000

There are only a couple of reasons why a pro basketball player should attempt to make a half-court shot, and they all usually involve a ticking clock that’s about to end the game. We’ve seen many failed attempts and famous wins in basketball history as only two or three seconds remained in the game and one hopeful player hurled the ball from half court praying that he would sink the winning shot. There are those guys, and then there's Russell Westbrook.

Girl Gives Herself 'Atomic Wedgie' Climbing Fence

Emerald Catron — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:09:45 +0000

A wedgie has to be one of the most humiliating, yet mostly harmless, experiences those people we gave all those wedgies too ever had. Don’t believe us? Watch this NSFW video. But now they can look on the bright side — at least they didn’t do it to themselves. In front of thousands of people. [...]

Man Fails On Balance Beam Backflip, Crushes Nuts

Joe Student — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:05:57 +0000

That's not much of a backflip, dude. Missing the balance beam, landing and crushing your nuts in the process isn't a really good attempt. If people are able to make a car do a backflip, you can do a lot better than that.

This had to be staged. Hear that laughter (before the dude's moaning wails)?

YouTube Hair Tutorial Goes Terribly Wrong

Emerald Catron — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 23:50:21 +0000

Hopefully anybody who’s tempted to watch this for actual advice watches all the way through first, rather than just follow along.

Daily Distraction — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 09:00:50 +0000

[onescreen item="5018912"] A treadmill is great for exercise. That seems simple, right?

[onescreen item="5017505"] Ah, the old trust fall. What a great way to build bonds! Or not. We don’t know anyone in these clips personally, but we truly hope they were able to rebuild those shattered friendships. But for now, we’re just grateful they had a video camera at the time.
