I haven’t decided if this video is awesome, frightening, or something in between. While the ideas that lead up to the creation of Googlezon are all awesome, in my opinion, the idea of absolutely no privacy is really frightening. Maybe it’s my secret inner Luddite, but the fact that everything about me is online now […]

If you’re an incurable romantic, then this video need not apply. However, there are some “love cynics” out there that may enjoy a no-frills clip conveying a process of courtship. Hey, it’s comedy folks! Stick figures, camp fires, inner monologues… Somehow it’s not unbelievable that this sort of stuff really happens. Anyone up for happily […]

Words escape a video like this — it’s one of those things you just have to see for yourself. The DARPA-funded “BigDog” is a robot constructed by Boston Dynamics and is possibly the coolest, most lifelike mechanical beast that money can build. This bot can scale hills, walk through snow, catch itself slipping on ice, […]

Guys, let’s get real for a sec. The weekend has come and gone, but the remains of that crazy party are all over your kitchen floor…and walls…and ceiling. But you’ve got a problem: there’s no missus around to take care of things! I know tons of our male readers have been sitting at home wondering […]

Who doesn’t like to see things blow up? Come on admit. From the time we were whippersnappers planted on the couch in front of the TV, we’ve craved explosions. Think about all the Warner Bros. cartoons featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. Nothing made your pupils dilate more than that cartoon varmint standing next […]

Hey, firefighters need to cut loose and have fun too right? Well, that’s exactly how it looks in this awesome video of a car being lifted high into the air … thanks only to water pressure. The way it works is the car is affixed to a metal platform which has about a dozen nozzles […]

What were you doing when you were a year and a half old? Keeping the diapers industry in business, I imagine. But for Elizabeth Barrett in Texas, her folks can brag that she was reading books at the level of a 7-year-old. Ironically, both of her parents are speech pathologists. This girl sounds like an […]

Video games, Xbox 360, MMOs and other new-age gadgetry has really made it difficult to teach kids about the world around them. Not that I’m complaning — give me Halo with friends back when I was 12 and I’d have never seen the light of day. But “edutainment” often ends where bad games begin. However […]

We are what we eat. At least according to Tourist Pictures. The video graphics company, run by Stefan Nadelman, has put together a 5-and-a-half minute clip that summarizes American warfare from WWII through the present day. And they do it with food. Germany becomes bratwurst and pretzels, the French are croissants, Israel becomes a bagel […]

Here’s a double dose of practicality for science geeks and glowsticking enthusiasts. Traditional store-bought glow sticks have a short life span of about 12 hours (some a lot less than that). If you use these things a lot, the costs can nickel and dime you over time. They’re pretty useless after a day as well. […]

I think I know where George Lucas drew his inspiration from when he conceived his new Star Wars cartoon: a three-year-old girl. After watching the YouTube video below of a bubbly toddler explaining the plot of Episode IV, George must have realized there is a new generation of Star Wars fans waiting with baited breath […]

From the people who brought you “Frozen Grand Central” and “Cell Phone Symphony” comes “McDonald’s Bathroom Attendant!” Although these are not feature length films, these Improv Everywhere (IE) videos pack all the comedy of any movie into a mere few minutes. Improv Everywhere was founded in 2001 by comedian Charlie Todd. Essentially, IE is a comedy troupe of a […]

Ah, the sports movie. A genre of film as necessary to the American experience as the warm apple pie we smother with vanilla ice cream. The tales can focus on the strength of individual athletes or the transcendent nature of being part of a team. There will be victors and there will be sore losers. […]

Here’s a quick video for your viewing pleasure. For PC users out there, have you ever clicked the wrong thing and Windows XP (or 98) made a “beep” sound which automatically told you to cut it out? Well one guy managed to harness those sounds: just about all the iconic ‘beeps’ and ‘dings’ you hear […]

The word “comedy” doesn’t typically come to mind when a person thinks of classic movies like Casablanca. But everything is funny when it gets dubbed over by a talking yellow sponge wearing rather square slacks. CollegeHumor.com recently featured a new video, which you can view below, with some infamous Nickelodeon cartoon characters taking liberties with […]
