Happy Hanukkah! Here Are Some NBA Players Singing the Dreidel Song
Hanukkah's almost over. Bring your celebration to the most awkward end possible, by playing this nonstop. It's the Houston Rockets singing 'Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,' courtesy of our friends at Dumb as a Blog. Really it's more like attempting to sing...
Adele Plus Butter Dance Equals Your New Favorite Video
Taking the random tribal music out of a piece of performance art and replacing it with the song from the latest James Bond movie is one way to make an instant joke. This video is a piece of performance art by Melati Suryodarmo called "butterdance," but the song is 'Skyfall' by Adele. It's definitely more dramatic.
Mall Santa Takes Adorable Photo With Sleeping Baby
Here's your daily dose of cute -- Santa pretending to sleep for a picture with a sleeping baby.
Mistletoe Prank Makes Everybody Make Out
Here's a little video to get you into the spirit of Christmas, if you're kind of trampy. Nate, Caitlin and Stuart set up shop on the campus of Brigham Young University to trick as many people as possible into kissing them by using a sprig of renegade mistletoe that drops down at a moment's notice. They are braver than we -- the whole time we watched this all we could think was "Herpes! Herpes
Cat Power Sings Songs for Classroom, Melts Down
We really wouldn't expect moody singer/songwriter Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) to have a sense of humor about her onstage meltdowns. You know, because she's always having meltdowns. But here she is in this Funny or Die video, freaking out on a bunch of second graders for trying to sing along to 'Old McDonald.'
‘Gangnam Style’ Has Now Killed a Man
It was really only a matter of time before the force of "nature" that is 'Gangnam Style' took a life. That time has come. A 46-year-old man's heart wasn't quite up to the task of horse shuffle dancing that the song requires, and he had a heart attack at his office's holiday party in Blackburn, Lancashire, England.
Awesome Kid Beatboxes In Class
This is way more impressive than anything any of our classmates ever did. This kid can seriously beatbox.
Lil Bub and Andrew WK Join Forces for Awesome Holiday Message
Merry Christmas/Hanukkah! Between this video and DMX singing 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,' we're pretty much full-up on holiday cheer. It's legendary party animal Andrew WK and internet cat celebrity Lil Bub, together at last! WHAT?!
‘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...
Kitty With Magnetic Collar Is Accidental Cat Burglar
Milo is undoubtedly the world's cutest thief. Her whiskers. Her paws. Her prancing about the neighborhood, going into random houses willy-nilly and accidentally stealing a bunch of stuff. Adorable. Unless of course you're the owner of one of the 20 sets of keys she's stolen over the past week.
Who Was the Most Annoying Person of 2012?
Well, the year is nearly over, so let's look back and hate on it a little bit. So many, many things were annoying this year. People starting saying "cray-cray" all the time, and for some reason they also all decided it was okay to waggle their chewed up gum halfway out of their mouths on the train. It's not. It's never okay.
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
