A cunning bit of street magic performed with the aid of a couple of actors, some gullible members of the public and a little camera trickery.
It’s not so interesting when you know how it’s done but on the upside you get to laugh at all the people scratching their heads and looking baffled.
When most people think of George Formby, they think of him cleaning windows to earn an honest bob, bob, bob, bob.
But he also does mean cover versions of 21st century hip-hop, like this ukulele inspired medley of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club”. Go shortie.
YouTube user WHZGUD2 shows us what it’s like to experience lag in real life.
Either that or he’s showing off his dancing skills as he busts one to a bit of dubstep. In case you’re wondering, the song is Need your heart by adventure club (protohype remix).
As police chases go, this one’s a doozie. It’s not just running, but cartwheels, backflips, epic jumps, and street performances.
If only police chases were like this in real-life, it’d be much more entertaining than flashing lights.
Ms Spraggan sings about beer fear, something we can all relate to, when you wake up after a heavy night on the sauce and your head is full of regrets and shame.
If you can’t relate to that, then you must be lying to yourself. If you can, no matter how many times you say you’ll quit the flaming sambas, you know it’s a lie.
Some clever Youtuber has gone and spliced an advert for Birdseye Fish Fingers with footage of the destruction of the arctic circle and it’s wildlife.
Never before has an advert for frozen fish products been so subversive. I think all birdseye adverts should be like this from now on…
Can’t wait for the new iPhone so that you can take the most impressive pictures of your dinner yet?
Well if this video is anything to go by, the new iPhone will be right up your street. Apple are focussing all their efforts on making your pictures of food better than ever!
You’ll be forgiven for thinking just WTF is this craziness, but come on, it’s the internet! Expecting the unexpected should be your default setting.
So just enjoy the wackiness and the animation and be glad this strangeness didn’t come from your own mind, because you might need to see a head-doctor if it did.
Okay so Bioshock is nearly 5 years old, what better time than to get nostalgic and listen to a happy little song about Rapture and what a lovely place it is?
If this doesn’t make you go all misty-eyed and fill you with the urge to dust off your copy of Bioshock and play it all over again, nothing will.
It can be a real bummer when you find out the witches curse is real and you’re the one lumped with having to stop it. Especially when there’s zombies too.
Gahd! Just when you wanna relax too, but that’s what’s happened to poor old Norman.
Psychedelic, trippy, Yellow Submarine weirdness is the order of the day in this crazy animation for a song by 60s weirdo Tiny Tim.
Before you go any further make sure you smoke the biggest doobie known to man, that way you’ll appreciate this a whole lot more.
Finally! A tutorial on how to correctly enunciate the line “EA Sports” using the appropriate inflection and tone.
Okay, so it’s pretty random and it may not actually be the guy that voices the line for EA but it still made me laugh pretty damn hard.
Ever wished you could turn off any TV you wanted to? These narcissistic nerds have made their own remote that works on any TV.
You might think that this is kinda faux nerdy, but considering you could buy a device like this for eight bucks, building one is kinda nerdy.
Her Maj, the Maj-meister, General Majo, Queenie, the Boss — whatever you call her, she’s here to deliver a message to you, her loyal subjects.
So listen up and listen good because she’s got some great advice for us all and you won’t want to miss a word.
