It’s a (Depressing) ‘Charlie Brown Christmas’ Reunion
Let's give some props to the Animation Domination folks for this warped take on the classic holiday special 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' This is worse than the worst-case scenario we imagined for Charlie Brown and the gang.
The Nicest Place on the Internet for a Day Like Today
After the horrible tragedy in Connecticut this morning, we don't really know what to say. We hope you are all safe and get to be with your families. We wish we could give you all hugs. We can't physically do that, so here is The Nicest Place on the Internet to give them for us...
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Is Even Better in Lego
Here's the video you didn't know you always wanted to see -- it's the trailer for 'The Dark Knight Rises' done with LEGOs. This version of Bane is maybe a little bit scarier than the live-action version. There's something deeply disturbing about his squinting, beady LEGO eyes...
Google Makes Year in Review Video for Folks Who Weren’t Paying Attention
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...
‘Weather Godzilla’ Spotted Over New England
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 Godzilla already came and went without doing significant damage, but follow @WeatherGodzilla to always remember the chaos it could have wreaked...
Snoop Lion Takes on Santa in Epic Rap Battle
When Santa found out he was going up against Snoop Dogg, er, Snoop Lion in a rap battle, did he soil his red, velvety pants? Snoop Lion agreed to an 'Epic Rap Battle of History,' donned a robe, and played the part of Moses for this video.
We Wish These Hilarious Bane Outtakes Were Real
Granted, this is just a parody, but, oh, that it were real. 'The Dark Knight Rises' would have been a much more entertaining movie if Bane had half the dialogue from this funny parody video. Or if Batman really loved cheesy '90s techno. In fact, we might never watch 'The Dark Knight Rises' again, just so that we can always remember it this way...
See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany
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 e
Best Breakup Song Ever Written by Couple Who Just Broke Up
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.
Watch Zack Morris Pitch Friendship Bracelets to ‘Shark Tank’
We've never seen 'Shark Tank,' because it doesn't feature animals or hillbillies, but we already know it will never be as good in real life as it is in this video. It's a mash-up of 'Shark Tank' and that episode of 'Saved by the Bell' when Zack Morris pitches his friendship bracelet business idea...
Redditor Parent Makes Hilarious Family Christmas Cards
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.
‘Walking Dead’ Popularity Prompts Spike in Gun Sales
On the one hand, a lot of people are going to be prepared for a zombie apocalypse in case that ever happens. On the other hand, a lot of people out there are buying guns to protect themselves from zombies. According to a gun rights advocate as well as a gun store owner, people are preparing themselves for the zombie apocalypse with guns and ammo.
