New Year's Eve

It's that time for the funniest memes of the week. In this week's roundup, we have a funny meme about the fiscal cliff, as well as some funny New Year's memes. If you live in America, we're sure you were focused on that when your clock struck 12. And if you don't live in America, well, we're sure you've realized they think they're the center of the world. Either way, you'll appreciate our New Year

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club's annual New Year's swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun. We probably should've gone, but there was that whole hangover thing to deal with. Which makes us wonder, does jumping into the freezing Atlantic ocean cure a hangover? If so, we're totally there next year.

It seems that a massive undertaking like a New Year's Eve Special was a little more than independent, LA-based television station KDOC could handle. Really. It definitely was.

Happy New Year! Why not start your year off right -- by watching Anderson Cooper desperately trying to keep Kathy Griffin's face away from his groin.

Babies like to go big when it comes to New Year's Eve celebrations. We're talking about tons of beads, sparkly hats and massive sunglasses. It gets crazy, fast. They were ready to ring in 2013 way before our party preparations even started, which is really impressive if you ask us...

Everyone knows about the ball that drops in New York City's Times Square to mark the start of a new calendar year. What you may not realize, though, is that other cities around the nation have similar traditions that entertain and enthrall their local communities. Here's a look at some of the odder traditions that will be taking place in America tonight:

The hourly countdown to 2013 has officially begun, which means New Year's Eve preparations are in full swing. We're practicing our photobombing techniques, cranking up the tunes and bejeweling jean shorts, among other things. December 31st is the party of all parties, after all!

New Year's Eve is all fun and games until somebody loses an eye. That's the takeaway from the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual year end warning on champagne bottles. According to the doctors, 'When a champagne cork flies, you really have no time to react and protect your delicate eyes." GAH! Shield yourself with the nearest anything!!!

It's hard to believe 2012 is coming to an end, and we're gearing up for another year of photobombing, pranking and costuming our pets.  We have a feeling 2013 will bring even more hilarity and entertainment, so ringing in the new year is definitely a cause for celebration. This usually involves party hats, tons of noisemakers and a bit of prep, like any sort of holiday.

If you're having a big party tonight and don't know what to play, you could play this song at the stroke of midnight, if you're the sort of person who plays 'Friday' on Friday just because it's Friday. It's Rhe De Ville's newest  New Year's song...

We're going to make a pretty huge statement right now ladies and gents, so brace yourselves: photobombing is hands down the best way to capture any sort of moment. Ruining a picture with that unexpectedly hilarious face or the addition of a random stranger in a photo simply adds that extra oomph needed to bring a picture to the next level. Plus, it's just funny stuff.

The holidays might be winding down, but that doesn't mean we can put our feet up and slip into a post-festivities food coma just yet. T-minus three days until New Year's Eve, and you know what that means-- it's time to get your party on!

When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.

It's true the holidays are easily the greatest time of year, but it can also be the most exhausting. After so much preparation, it sort of feels like we want to nap for weeks. It also doesn't help that we ate our weight in ham and stuffing and chocolate, so we're currently nursing a major food hangover. But it's time to rally, people! We can't forget one of the greatest parties is coming up in jus

As if Kathy Griffin stripping down to her bra during CNN's New Year's Eve coverage wasn't bad enough, poor Anderson Cooper also had to contend with being abducted by the Green Goblin from the Broadway play 'Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.' Fortunately, however, the webslinger himself was there to save the day.
