We love sloths. There's no question. But we can't spend all day looking at them online-- sometimes we have to take a break to order food from Seamless or run a damp sponge over our body. Worse, sometimes we actually have to leave the apartment. To combat this, we've taken sloths and given them everyday jobs, so we can imagine the people we have to talk to are sloths while we're talking to them. That's normal, right?
Ugh. We need to get new hobbies. This guy makes awesome stop-motion animations on whiteboards, and our hobby is to watch them. Oh well, at least it's highly enjoyable. This particular video is based on the video game Street Fighter, clearly
Don't be confused by the fact that this video starts with a lady feeding a bunch of kangaroos -- this IS a video of a lady rocking out on the spoons. The kangaroo intro merely adds to its general amazingness.
Generally speaking, we think of moths as the unsettling, night-flying creepster cousin of the butterfly. But *look* at this Emperor Gum Moth! It is at least as cute as a candid shot of a dog. At least
ANAR, a Spanish organization that helps at-risk children, found an interesting way to target only the people who needed their services, without their parents finding out they wanted to get help -- a lenticular photo.
A few months ago, YouTube comedy channel Whatever 2ND struck gold when they filmed a homeless man do a pretty ridiculous trick with his mustache. The video went viral, and today it has over 1.7 million views.
Inspired by the movie 'Monsters University,' DeviantArt user Hyung86 decided to portray classic Disney characters as though they were modern day college students. We think these are pretty great. If you'd like to check out more, this is the page where you can find modern depictions of Aladdin, Pocahontas, Ariel and more.
Things continue to get more and more real on 'Game of Thrones.' Last night's episode, 'The Climb,' featured somebody getting his finger skinned (if you could stomach it) and a lady murdered by crossbow. So yeah, pretty real. Here's what happened in greater detail. (Remember: this show is NSFW and so are some of the GIFs.)
What's the best part of the Kentucky Derby? The hats? The horse racing? The glasses filled with cold, cold whiskey? We couldn't decide, so we put some hats on some horses to help us figure it out. It didn't help. We'll make up our mind tomorrow when the race is over.
We wish somebody would follow us around and animate our drunken brilliance. Although, to be fair, arguing over the lyrics to a Go-Go's song is not nearly as entertaining as this joke, told by Adam Patch's wife after she drank an entire bottle of wine.
