There have been a lot of great kitty videos here at PopFi, but there’s nothing quite as unusual as this one. This is a video of a cute little kitten who gets downright mean when you even think about taking away his broccoli. That’s right, the least-favorite food of kids everywhere is just something this […]

Abilene Christian University’s Football Team Can Really Score
Posted 11/24/2008 12:12 pm by Ron HoganThis was a big football weekend. The Bowl Championship Series in American college football was shaken up as Texas Tech got killed by Oklahoma, Michigan got beaten by Ohio State, Penn State locked up octogenarian Joe Paterno’s first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1995, and throughout the country, rivalry games were everywhere. However, the […]
Read »Roomba Cat Loves Cleaning
Posted 11/18/2008 10:12 pm by Ron HoganJust look at this. This cat is smart enough to ride on the back of a Roomba, maybe even drive the Roomba, and what is my cat doing right now? She’s sleeping in my bed, on top of my covers, because she knows I’m not mean enough to give her the boot so I can […]
Read »Everyone Knows It’s Slinky-Cat
Posted 11/11/2008 6:00 am by Ron HoganI wasn’t a cat fan until I actually got one, now I can’t get enough of the crazy little critters. Actually, that’s not entirely true, the one I have is more than enough cat for me to deal with, but I love seeing people’s cute videos of cats. Take, for example, Slinky Cat. Isn’t that […]
Read »Meet Adorable Pygmy Hippo-Baby Monifa
Posted 11/07/2008 2:24 pm by Ron HoganThere is nothing cuter than a little baby animal. If that animal is a rare pygmy hippo, a very endangered species whose homelands in West Africa are torn by constant warfare, that little cuddly baby is even more special. Monifa, the newest baby hippo born at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, is doubly special. […]
Read »Asha Mandela: A Real-Life Rapunzel!
Posted 10/24/2008 1:19 pm by Ron HoganPeople will do a lot of crazy things to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, but an army of rubber ducks doesn’t cause any headache as bad as the ones Asha Mandela must suffer. Ms. Mandela, you see, might have the world’s longest dreadlocks. When I get my hair cut, I feel lighter […]
Read »Banjos And Brain Surgery
Posted 10/18/2008 1:25 pm by Ron HoganIt’s not every day you get to watch someone perform brain surgery, but for actual brain surgeons, I’m sure this is something they see all the time. What makes this story different is the fact that, this time, the brain surgeons got to have a little musical performance during the surgery, courtesy of the person […]
Read »Jet Man Yves Rossy Flies Across The English Channel
Posted 9/26/2008 1:17 pm by Ron HoganRemember the story yesterday about Yves Rossy, the Jet Man who was going to fly across the English Channel? Well, today, he did it. He took off over France, flew 22 miles across the Channel, and landed successfully in Dover in less than 10 minutes. The BBC has the incredible video taken by the National […]
Read »Drunk Man Humps SUV
Posted 9/17/2008 6:35 am by Ron HoganMaybe I’m a little bit jaded by my college experience, and by living in a town with a serious partying weekend every year, but I’ve seen a lot of drunk people doing a lot of drunk things. Plus, with the Internet, you can see drunk people doing some exceptionally insane stuff. I thought I’d seen […]
Read »Ninja Cat Attacks!
Posted 9/15/2008 10:30 am by Ron HoganCats can do some pretty awesome things. Cats can also do some pretty funny things, as I found out once I got a cat of my own. Check out this insane video of a cat that has learned the secrets of the ninja. Well, the cat isn’t quite a ninja, as it was caught on […]
Read »Geraldo Doesn’t Surf
Posted 9/15/2008 6:30 am by Ron HoganGeraldo Rivera has one of the longest careers in television that I can think of. It seems like he’s been around forever. From his eponymous talk show that dominated the 90’s to his current slightly more legitimate career as a reporter for Fox News (among other places), the man with one of the more famous […]
Read »Bears (Well, Guys In Bear Suits) Fear No Hurricane
Posted 9/14/2008 8:16 pm by Ron HoganSometimes I just love people. Take, for example, this guy in a bear suit who showed up during KHOU TV in Houston’s coverage of Hurricane Ike. Even while Galveston’s getting pounded by massive waves, this dude’s out there having a good time. Sick as it might be, I haven’t laughed so hard in quite some […]
Read »Cat Vs. Printer, Who Ya Got?!
Posted 9/12/2008 6:35 am by Ron HoganI was never a cat person. I was always a dog guy. I wanted a pet that was fun and that was always happy to seem me. Cats were usually too aloof for my tastes. Little did I know that cats were a source of high comedy, like this video from Neatorama. I learned quickly […]
Read »Don LaFontaine, The Voiceover Master, Has Passed Away
Posted 9/02/2008 2:21 pm by Ron HoganDon LaFontaine, who passed away this morning at Cedars Sinai Hospital at age 68, wasn’t a man you’d know by looking at him. He’s been deeply involved in the entertainment industry for 33 years and he’s been featured prominently in over 5,000 movie trailers, but he could walk down the street and not even gather […]
Read »The Drunken Summer
Posted 7/31/2008 10:30 am by Stephanie SturgisNothing cools off a hot summer day like a cold beer. Just ask these two fellows participating in the ultimate summer activities while under the influence of a bunch of brewskis. Whether it’s driving a lawnmower while under the influence or attending a baseball game, beer makes for funny videos. I wonder if their blood […]
Read »The No Longer Pregnant Man Gives Birth
Posted 7/24/2008 9:22 am by Ron HoganThomas Beatie, the famous pregnant man you read about first at Pop Fi, is definitely not a hoax. On June 29, Beatie and his partner (girlfriend, wife? I’m not sure how it works when it comes to pregnant men and their lady friends) welcomed a 9.5lb baby girl, Susan Juliette, into the world. She’s an […]
Read »An Unbreakable Umbrella Version of Chuck Norris
Posted 7/15/2008 11:59 am by Stephanie SturgisWith the new Batman movie out this summer, I think back to all those Technicolor bad guys from the Adam West television version of Batman. Funny, yes; scary, not so much. I mean come on. That version of the Penguin’s biggest scare tactic was pointing at Robin with an umbrella while wearing a monocle. Normally, […]
Read »Google Moon Exposes NASA’s Secret
Posted 7/13/2008 3:38 pm by Stephanie SturgisWho doesn’t love a conspiracy theory? Everything from Roswell and Area 51 to the Grassy Knoll have been debated as potential cover-ups by the U.S. government. It seems Google Moon may have exposed another one of the government’s secrets – the faking of the lunar landing mission. Or at least The Vactioneers have done another […]
Read »Crazy Helicopter Video
Posted 6/26/2008 10:50 am by Stephanie SturgisI’ve purchased more than one remote control vehicle for my nephews with the ultimate goal of grabbing the controller out of their little hands in order take over the scaled down machines and drive them until their wheels fall off. Even then I crash them more often than not. But the king of the remote […]
Read »Interpreting Joe Cocker
Posted 6/24/2008 12:22 pm by Stephanie SturgisI actually watched some goofy TV game show for the first time where contestants tried to recall the lyrics to popular songs with $$$ on the line. The top prize was a million bucks, but I’m guessing no one is ever going to grab that brass ring. It was like watching drunks in a bar […]
Read »Soccer and Transformers
Posted 6/18/2008 1:14 pm by Stephanie SturgisNever let it be said that Pop Fi doesn’t give a regular dose of sports stuff. Why, we’ve even covered a tiny soccer team and games for your dog. It’s no secret that nearly everyone on the planet is mad for soccer, or as its known in most other locales on the globe, futbol. In […]

Posted 6/09/2008 9:23 am by Stephanie SturgisEveryone knows we love a viral video here at Pop Fi. Whether it’s an office worker going insane, an ugly divorce situation or the Obama kid, we try to keep on spreading the video love. One of the latest to hit the Intertubes is a clip of folks using cell phones to heat up some […]
Read »Office Worker Has Huge Meltdown
Posted 6/04/2008 5:11 am by Stephanie SturgisWe’ve all gotten frustrated at work before. The daily stresses sometimes push us to the edge. But most of us pull ourselves back from the brink. Then there are those folks who go careening over that precipice and land in Crazyville. Think back to the hedgehog tossed in anger issue Pop Fi has covered for […]
Read »Weird Creepy Pencil Face
Posted 6/03/2008 11:57 am by Stephanie SturgisI ran across this video produced at the Savannah College of Art and Design that is pretty cool and creepy. After you watch this one, you’ll never look at a No. 2 pencil in the same way again. It’s got a weird Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe. I wonder what would happen if you […]
Read »Japanese Bruce Willis
Posted 6/03/2008 9:31 am by Stephanie SturgisEvery time I surf around the Internet, I invariably run across something that makes me scratch my head. Often that scalp tickling comes courtesy of a Japanese television show featuring something like a velcro wall or a crazy obstacle courses. That was the case when I ran across a clip of an Asian man doing […]
Read »Annoying Kids Get Their Payback
Posted 5/08/2008 1:29 pm by Stephanie SturgisWhat’s more annoying than a cutesy kid on a Hummel figurine? How about annoying kids in real life. They run around like maniacs while their parents are often oblivious to the distractions and mayhem their “little darlings” are causing whether it’s during a concert or ceremony, at restaurants and stores or just in the neighborhood. […]
Read »Bringing The Noise With Toys
Posted 5/07/2008 1:07 pm by Stephanie SturgisI’m still a kid at heart. I love me some toys. Among the clutter on my desk is a hula dog bobble head, some Simpsons stuff and an old Pee Wee Herman “action figure.” So imagine my delight when I ran across a woman who combines toys to create “music.” Yep, Kitty Clark has some […]
Read »Kinder, Gentler Grand Theft Auto 4
Posted 5/05/2008 9:32 am by Stephanie SturgisUnlike classic video games which people search high and low on the Internet to find, certain video games get a bad rap. You shoot a few people, including some cops, steal some cars, boats and planes or blow up some stuff and suddenly you’re the scourge of the gaming world. The Grand Theft Auto game […]
Read »Boomerangs in Space
Posted 5/01/2008 1:06 pm by Stephanie SturgisWhat’s that goofy saying from the 70s? “If you love something, set it free. If it belongs to you, it will come back to you.” Something like that. So I’m guessing people who throw boomerangs really believe that. These are also the folks who were curious about what happens to a boomerang when it’s thrown […]
Read »The Subway Survival Kit
Posted 4/25/2008 11:23 am by Ron HoganAny good motorist has some emergency supplies in their car. Even most of us bad motorists carry around extra oil, radiator fluid, and a spare tire. If you’re prepared, you’ll have a pry bar, maybe a flashlight or some flares, and even a spare blanket. Even if you don’t have any of that stuff, you’ve […]
