Loading Ball Larry puts his annoying spin on everything he touches. You’re probably already familiar with his work: He’s the guy who crashed your app, right before you hit save.

The jerk who turned that ten-minute task of yours into a full hour of frustration—spinning, spinning, spinning your day away. Stop Larry before he grinds your world to a halt.

Samsung’s new YouTube video campaign may move away from pushing specific products and devices, focusing on its memory solutions, but the company appears to be finding it incredibly difficult to move away from taking a bite out of Apple.

The campaign centers on the frustrations that device owners may experience with their mobile phones, tablets, computers and even televisions. To do this, it uses three fictional characters to portray these experiences – Battery Brutus, Loading Ball Larry, and Fiona Freeze.

Like a movie trailer, each character demonstrates how modern devices are affected by battery drain, low memory and times when something will just freeze

And for the most part, the campaign is quite enjoyable to watch — except for the not-so-subtle Apple bashing in one of the videos.

Samsung is quick to point out that many devices suffer from the above issues, but the Loading Ball Larry short uses Apple’s iconic spinning beachball to illustrate how computers and tablets struggle with low memory.

Maybe not as ruthless as its previous campaigns, but it will surely draw the ire of Apple fans and device owners.

MEET BATTERY BRUTUS

You know him. He knows you. And he knows just when to prey on your devices. Like when you’re stuck on an airplane. Without a plug. In the middle of a movie.

As if there weren’t already enough videos of people showing off their acrobatic expertise, here’s another.

These two guys are pretty awesome though and have included all their bloopers at the end. The bloopers are better IMO.

A comedian without any actual jokes is a rare creature. Not only does this guy not have any jokes but he’s agonisingly awkward.

Cap that off with a thick Norwegian accent and you’d expect him to be terrible. Somehow though he’s totally hilarious. Hat’s off to you mate!

Ashen is a man who likes a deal. More than that though he likes nothing more than merciless mockery.

Luckily for him he managed to spot something that looked like a deal but upon closer inspection was fodder for merciless mockery. At least karma comes cheap.

Mucking about with a slack-line tethered between two trees in a park is one thing but doing it over a gaping chasm is quite another.

These guys make it look like nothing, some even doing it with their eyes covered. Bloody showoffs.

You may think you have your own internal gaydar that is infallible, but there’s always room for an app for that. Trouble is, it might get you in a heap of trouble.

For instance, all those people who are a bit camp or butch and off goes your gaydar app, turns out they’re not and social awkwardness ensues.

Hold tight to ya Bombay Ducks people! The legendary Fish market trader from Queens Market, London E13, gets a McPunjabi Remix, of his classic toon ‘£1 Pound Fish!’. I’ll go McMental to that!

Admittedly during this particular performance he wasn’t selling too much fish, but then again trade was slow and he was playing to the camera – a fine performance sir!

If you’re looking for a way to boost your computer’s signal range, this could be the video for you.

I tried this last night and by the my signal strength has grown 3″ overnight! I would say it’s a miracle, but it’s not; it’s SCIENCE!!!

Street racer isn’t just the name of some 90’s video game that combines the fine arts of go karting and violence, street racers also exists IRL. And Dubai is their capital, where down at the International Marine Club all sorts of insane racing action is going on.

So buckle-up and watch GT Academy winner Lucas Ordonez taking Nissan’s badass Juke-R down there to see if he can pwn some of the most famous supercars on the planet.

Nobody seems to know what causes the faces to look all weird and monsterous, but a fivers says that if you flashed pics of Susan Boyle and Donatella Versace they’d look like normal people.
