Kyle Dowling — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:11:38 +0000

It’s not exactly the ‘Friends’ reunion fans have been expecting, but it’s still pretty amusing. On Thursday’s episode of ‘Ellen,’ America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston will be acting as co-host. In order to promote the show, the crew made a hysterical skit involving a few ‘Friends’ cast members — including Aniston, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox [...]

News Anchor Tries to Eat World's Hottest Pie

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:35:02 +0000

You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia ‘Today’ on the air. He’s back, and this time he’s trying to eat the world’s hottest pie. If this confuses you, in Australia they make delicious savory pies, so it’s [...]

What's Wrong With the Xbox One, In Meme Form

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:09:20 +0000

Microsoft unveiled their new gaming console yesterday, and people were not impressed. Actually, they were pretty complain-y and grumpy about it. They don't like the name (Xbox One). They don't like all the features. They don't like any of it. (Particularly how the Microsoft folks pretty much just talked about TV the whole time.) They genuinely dislike it so much that they took the time to make memes about it. These really capture the gist of the problems people have with Xbox One.

See YouTube Through History

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:15:55 +0000

If the internet had existed in caveman times, we would build a time machine (because if the internet existed that long ago, clearly we would have time travel technology by now) and travel back and un-invent it. Sure, we would probably blink out of existence (can’t think about it too much — time continuum stuff [...]

Amy's Baking Company Gets Animated to Hilarious Effect

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:20:54 +0000

Surely you remember that horrifying episode of ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ that took place at Amy’s Baking Company. The cook, Amy, was the most legitimately insane person we’ve ever encountered not in real life. It would be fair to say she was *cartoonishly* crazy, so this cartoon of her craziness makes perfect sense. Plus, it has the [...]

Same goes for all of these other objects that have taken on personalities of their own. They can never go back. They have been permanently anthropomorphized. It’s adorable. Twins!

Our Favorite Non Sequiturs from Reddit's /r/Trees

Emerald Catron — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:59:14 +0000

/r/Trees is a friendly subreddit (or forum) on Reddit for pot smokers to hang around and talk about marijuana-related stuff together. Sometimes they get a little... sidetracked though. They have a scale that goes from (totally sober) to (this guy). These are some of our favorite posts which we've set to stock photos. These posts are all on a level. Because, let's be real -- if you're a , there's no way you're going to be able to type a coherent sentence on Reddit. They're pretty ridiculous. Enjoy!

Improv Everywhere Turns Subway Car Into Talk Show

Emerald Catron — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:20:00 +0000

It's something only Improv Everywhere could accomplish -- going on to a subway car, making a huge ruckus and not annoying every single person on the train. This time, the team set up a late night-style talk show, complete with desk, comfy chair, backdrop and band. Technically the band was just a guy with a keytar, but we'll allow it.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:07:27 +0000

If you’re not familiar with Birds With Arms, a single-serving Tumblr that posts images of birds with human arms Photoshopped onto them, Bears With Beaks might make no sense. If you are familiar, and you like Birds With Arms, you’ll love this. Bears with Beaks is a very strange subreddit that is entirely photos of [...]

Ever think that one celebrity looks just like that other celebrity? We see it all the time and so does the rest of the internet. There's no shortage of sites out there that are dedicated to celebrity lookalikes. But we decided to take it a step further to see just how much certain celebrities look like one another.

Have you had enough elevator pranks? Well, howzabout just one more? We promise it’s a good one! Set on a Norwegian talk show, this prank doesn’t involve any ghastly ghouls or zombies in coffins like we’ve seen in the past. It merely consists of two jokesters duping elevator riders via a “voice activated” experience they’re [...]

Forget all the awards she won at the Billboard Music Awards last night — the trophy for Best Reaction to Justin Bieber Trying to Kiss Selena Gomez goes to Taylor Swift!

Reporter Terrified By Rooster Gone Wild

Drew Weisholtz — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:55:33 +0000

The guy holding the rooster is a real chicken. This 2008 clip of a British reporter is enjoying a second life because, well, just watch for yourself and you’ll see why. Not only does this fella scream, but he also books it like he’s running the 40-yard dash. Intrepid reporter? We think not.

George Takei as Every Character in 'Star Trek Into Darkness'

Kristy Puchko — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:45:00 +0000

This past weekend J.J. Abrams unleashed the second entry in his rebooted 'Star Trek' franchise, 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' With Kirk, Spock, Uhura and company back in theaters, we've been giddily revisiting all things Enterprise, and we realized there is one thing this reboot demands more of: George Takei. Like swashbuckling Sulu wouldn't have improved things by 100%.

Takei has emerged as a major force in social networking, political activism and general interwebs awesomeness. And we just can't get enough. Just imagine what 'Star Trek Into Darkness' would look like with Takei playing every character. We did. Oh my!

Emerald Catron — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:59:23 +0000

As you may have heard if you logged on to the Interwebs today, Yahoo bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion, and immediately freaked out basically everyone on Tumblr. Didn't Yahoo realize that they're dealing with a community of unemployed millennials who have nothing to do with their time but make GIFs and memes? Because that's what happened. Here's how Tumblr is reacting to becoming part of the Yahoo community.

Much like the original [...]

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:25:01 +0000

Horses are funny creatures. Tthey’re totally into Skrillex hair and crazy hats. And don't even get us started on Mr. Ed. Even without talking, horses still crack us up, which is good, because horses can't actually talk. They can wear a ridiculous horse grin though.

Morning News Anchor Pulls 'Anchorman'-Style Prompter Prank

Emerald Catron — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:54:32 +0000

One Today Show reporter in Australia had a real Ron Burgundy moment. It seems Roz Kelly will also read anything that’s on the teleprompter. Fortunately, her co-anchor Karl Stefanovic didn’t put an F-bomb in there like Veronica Corningstone, but he did get her to imply that she enjoys the “cookies” in Amsterdam. Kelly took it [...]

Nightmare Restaurant From 'Kitchen Nightmares' Has Epic Facebook Meltdown

Emerald Catron — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:37:47 +0000

In all the years he’s been doing ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ (in the US at least), Gordon Ramsey never quit on a client. Until he went to Amy’s Baking Company in Arizona. Those people were horrible. Taking waitstaff tips, screaming, firing people — they genuinely are the worst. Unfortunately, they didn’t take learning that fact very well. [...]
