excited animals!

I love it when pets get so excited about something and they don't think things before they do them....
You will too after you watch these clips.

WAYY too excited


Shoud've thought that one through...


aaaand, a cat reacting to a singing christmas card


Happy Holidays!

Grizzly bear waves hello

I have a lot of favorite animal videos, but there may be room for one more...
This video is amazing.

Watch this bear's reaction when this little girl waves to him!




AAAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

YouTube's Finest: The Vlog Brothers

John and Hank Green are two brothers who create video blogs adressed to each other, sharing knowledge with the YouTube audience (who they refer to as Nerd Fighters) on whatever topic they please along the way.

I've been a proud Nerd Fighter for 3 years now, and I can confidently say I feel nerdier (and 20% smarter) after years of watching their videos.

Below is the latest video uploaded this turkey day, where Hank answers all the top searched questions on Google in alphabetical order.

Very informative and entertaining!

boy gets owned by cat

Watch this little boy get PWNED by his pet cat.

Don't worry it's not scary.

party rocking to halloween!

Going out this weekend to celebrate Halloween?

Make sure to watch this AMAZING video before doing so to pump yourself up!

Dog Plays Catch with Himself

This video was reviewed by RWJ, and I couldn't keep myself from "awwww"ing in front of my computer.
5 bucks says you can't either.





AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Michele Bachmann as a hippie

I usually don't like to get into politics, but this is just too damn funny.

BLR stands for Bad Lip Reading, and they take footage of seemingly normal people discussing/singing seemingly normal topics, and substitute the audio with whatever the lips LOOK like they're saying. Kind of.

Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann recently uploaded a video on YouTube discussing her recent campaign tour.
Original Video here:



So BLR voiced over the audio, making the campaign tour a little more... contemporary.



If only politics were always this entertaining, I'm guessing the voter turnout would be much, much hiring.

HOLD....

I would describe this next video, but Philip DeFranco did a pretty good job saying:
"The most talented dog, with the most will power. EVER."

Rocking Panda

One of my all time favorite videos on YouTube is Panda Sneeze,
which is probably why I find this one absolutely adorable.

Dude, nice ride.

Watch this guy spin out on his hot Fiat ride.


Classic, but still creative.
Would've been better if it were outside, the indoor flooring kind of gave it away for me!

Dedicated Dog

My mother always told me never to give up on anything I wanted in life.

I'm guessing this dog's mother taught him to do the same.

YouTube's Finest: Food Wishes

If there's one thing I love more than the internet, it's food.
And if there's one thing I love more than food... it's more food.

Food wishes is the love child of internet awesomeness and food pr0n greatness.
No, not like Epic Meal Time, but like the Food Network but with inappropriate puns.

The brains (and culinary skills) behind this channel is a man named "Chef John".
Real name John Mitzewich, he's got a solid 20 years of teaching cooking n00bs like myself how to turn a piece of chicken and basil into a gourmet meal.

Here are some of my favorite video recipes from his channel,
WARNING: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT watch when hungry.

Mahi Mahi Dip:


Mac and Cheese never looked so good


Last but not least, chocolate lava cake


You know you want more...

Cat vs Balloon

This is precisely the reason why I love CAT VIDEOS.

Animals vs Laser Pointers

Pet owners can sometimes be cruel, teasing their pets to chase after laser beams...
but dang, do they make for a funny video.

I've created a compilation of my favorite animals-chasing-laser-videos.

Enjoy!


I guess since we don't walk our cats, they need to get their exercise somewhere..
WARNING: Music is very loud. I recommend turning it down before watching this video.



So apparently it's not just cats and dogs that are into laser beams...



Finally, a very short but bittersweet video.
WARNING: May cause groin area pain.

YouTube's Finest: David So

I come across a lot of talented YouTubers, some of them are one of the top subscribed on YouTube, while as others have the talent but are lacking in exposure.

I wanted to start a new series where I introduce the latter group.

I'm starting with this guy: David So.
He is a standup comedian, an R&B singer and self-proclaimed "lover of the sistas".

Calling him the one of the most hilarious people on YouTube would be an understatement.

So without further adieu, I give to you... David So everybody.

David So addresses Asian Stereotypes:



David So hates clubbing.




David So wants to woo you.




Be sure to check out his music channel too, this guy can do ANYTHING!

Baby Beluga

Ever seen a Mariachi band serenade a Beluga whale?

Now you have.



While we're on the subject of sea animals...
this video was on RWJ a few weeks ago, and made me giggle like a little girl.



Lastly, I'm sure you've seen the famous video of the dolphins playing with their bubbles, but I'll link it here just in case. Amazing stuff.

Nyan Cat Parodies

I showed the Nyan Cat Video to some friends today,

(which by the way, I couldn't believe they hadn't seen.
Then I remembered normal people have lives.)

Original video here, for you n00bs:



...Now I can't get the song out of my head.

So I went to watch the original video, and came across some interesting parodies along the way.

Here are some of my favorites.

When things get a little too realistic




normally I would call this animal abuse, but the cat doesn't seem to mind




a little something for you Bollywood fans...




and my personal favorite... (Viewer discretion is advised).

Trololord of the Rings

You may have seen this video, known as "Trololo"
Which depicts a Russian man lip synching to a rather... interesting tune.



Some amazing people (with a lot of time on their hands) on the internet, edited the song into some footage from The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition to create this internet trolling masterpiece.

Enjoy!

Japanese Commercials 203

I saw the following commercial while commuting to work the other day.

I can't explain it, so just... just watch.


Call me immature, but I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this.
What were they thinking?

What makes it worse... These ads are painted on the trains everywhere.
See for yourself

Japanese Bunnies Groom Each other

Too Cute... Must hug...

Carpe Diem... Seize the Carp?

Fishing usually requires practice and patience.
This river requires neither.



PS: if ANYONE knows where the title comes from... you are my new best friend.

Epic Lego Prank

now if I had the time and resources...

Spinning Car Crash

Thank God no one got hurt!

The Real Karate Kid

Wow. Just Wow.

Oh wait, it's a video

I've done this many times before...

but when it's an old couple battling technology, there's something painfully adorable about it.

Japanese Marketing 201

Do you smell that?

Oh yes, that's the smell of another new, creative, crazy, confusing, and downright awesome Japanese commercials.

I recently saw this commercial on TV, and was left feeling slightly awkward, and very, very confused.



Immediately, I googled the name of the product being advertized and found the man in the commercial.
His name is TanoShingo (a combination between the Japanese word for "fun" (tanoshii) and his name "Shingo") and he is actually a full-time CHIROPRACTOR who rose to fame in Japan for all that fabulous personality.

Here's why I think Japanese advertizers are so darn creative.
They don't focus on bashing their rivals, or use clips of bad actors reviewing the product. Instead, they take an usual image and burn it into your brain, to the point where you keep seeing it, even when your eyes are closed.

This commercial does precicely that.
Does it bash it's competitors? No.
Does it have boring statistics? No.
Does it have a fabulous chiropractor dancing with children in an oversized bathroom? Check.

It may seem weird, but I did end up googling the product name, so I see this technique actually does work.

You Can Do ANYTHING

I saw this video on RWJ last week, but it's slowly going viral and I keep catching myself going back to it.

Makes me smile every time :)

A little backstory:
The little boy in the video has just succeeded in riding his bike for the first time, and decides to give a very inspirational speech.
Watch to be inspired!

The Current State of Affairs

Jimmy Kimmel has done it again. He created a spoof of Jersey Shore - with Brits this time.

I love the ending.

Daredevil Kitteh

Stealth. Focus. Accuracy.

THOSE should've been the tags on this video.

Watch this intelligent cat guess where the shell is!
... Is it bad that I lost track after the first few moves?

Furry Ball of Cute

Jump start of your week with a furry little ball of concentrated cuteness.

Watch Out!

If you know the answer to Mentos + Diet Coke, you are a certified internet lover.

This video validates the equation once in for all.

Napoleon Dynamite Goes Anime

Oh no...

Oh no no no...

The legendary film Napoleon Dynamite will be aired on Fox. As a tv show. Did I also mention it's a cartoon?

Super Beagle!

Watch this adorable, caramel-colored beagle, appropriately named "pudding" catch the ball... With his front paws!

Takes him a few tries, but I love his determination.


I did some research and this dog is NO one-trick pony.

Not only can he catch a ball, he can BALANCE on one.


He can jump rope,



He can skateboard,


and even clean.


Yay for another Japanese dog video going/about to go viral!

Grandma does Nelly

This video title is misleading...
Get ready to meet the BEST church choir ever.




took me a while to figure out what the third song was.

The Ultimate Love/Hate Relationship

Oh cat videos... how I love thee..

Are you ready to see a love/hate relationship that is too cute to watch?



awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

So tolerant, patient, and non-confrontational.

Wait... is is just me, or do you find it ironic that the video (along with baby and cat) is Japanese?

Now, if you're familiar with Japanese (or should I say Tokyoite) culture, you know that this is exactly how the majority of Japanese people would act when a stranger falls asleep on them on the train.

Step 1,  grunt
Step 2,  twitch a little
Step 3, give up.

Bottomline: that kid is flipping adorable.

What you know about KIDS?

Anyone who socializes with other being on the internet has been linked to at least one of Epic Meal Time's amazingly disgusting-yet-so-fascinating cooking videos. 

I posted the "fast food sushi" episode here on Eat Sleep Internet last year, and I've been a fan ever since.
Recently, they came out with the following video, a spin-off of their fast food series.

Now, meet the offspring of Epic Meal Time. (Kid's edition)


"I bet you wish you had the metabolism to drink this, hater. I'm 10 years old!" Just gold.

Rubber Legs!

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to my hero.

His name is John and he teaches people how to dance on YouTube.


Oh wait, it get's even better...

Humans Saving Animals

I love animals.
What I love more than animals, is when I hear stories about humans saving animals. Namely animals who were born with birth defects.
If in the wild, these animals are usually abandoned to die or killed by their own mother.
I came across a heart-warming story today, so I thought I would share it, along with some other I've encountered over the years.

I know easter is over, and I already posted a collection of cute easter bunny videos, but this one was too adorable and touching not to post.

This man and his son find two baby rabbits who have been abandoned by their mother, one of them being paralyzed from the legs down.

They named it Joe, and decided to design a homemade wheelchair to help him maneuver his way around!



I saw this following video about Faith a few years ago, and it still is one of my favorite animal stories.
She's the famous dog who can walk on his two hind legs.
So touching, so adorable, so inspiring!


This story about Lola is amazing to watch


I don't know the backstories to the other videos, but they are still very much inspiring and give me hope.

Easter Bunny Cute

Happy Easter Sunday!

Here's a compilation of bunny-internet-cute videos.

Sleepy bunny is sleepy.


This Mama cat adopted this baby bunny! What a touching story



aaand of course, no bunny-internet-cute playlist would be complete without this world-famous bunny video

Do Your Part - Earth Day

WARNING: SERIOUS POST!

In honor of Earth Day, I would like to share this short but powerful video.

Those of you who know me well, know that I'm quite the tree hugger.
Our planet is so beautiful, and like anything that holds tremendous beauty, it is incredibly fragile.

What will you do to save the planet?

Tickle Me Penguin

This may be the cutest video I have seen in years.

Make sure your sound is on for maximum pleasure cuteness.

Amazing Animal Noise Impressions

I've always prided myself on my amazing horse impression, until I saw this video. (She puts me to shame).

Pretty remarkable. Someone get this girl a job!

PULL

A great way to put someone (that needs to be) in their place.

I can't stop laughing.

Bacon Scented Cologne

Oh yes.

Bacon. Flavored. Cologne.

April Fools 2011

I'm two days late, but I gathered my favorite April Fools jokes on the internet.

Legos are to kids, as Apple products are to adults.
Combine the two together and what do you get?

Perfection.

Click here for details.


Most people would agree that Google never fails to come up with the best April Fool's jokes.
This year was no exception.

Here's a video about the new autocompleter position available at Googleplex.
Genius acting. Does this Mike fellow really work at Google?
(because he needs a second job in film!)




last, but certainly not the least (and my personal favorite), the introduction to Gmail Motion.
This makes me want to work for Gmail...



LOLOLOLOL


Ah, the joy of the internet.

Gaga goes Classic?

This may be old news to some, but I came across this interesting music group called Aston from Australia.
They describe themselves as a "[group of] six members...aged between 21 and 23, …out of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the most distinguished music school in Australia. Some members are not due to graduate until the end of the year, but they are all already professional young musicians of the highest calibre"

Highest calibre is right.

Take a listen:

Lady GaGa's Telephone


Lady GaGa's Born This Way


Katy Perry's E.T.

You Got Served 3.0

Love dancing?
Love the Android?

Then you'll love this guy:


Amazing!

On a lighter note, here's a dog performing the riverdance.

Asians in the Library

Anyone who has an internet IQ of 20 or higher, has probably seen (or at least heard of ) the infamous "Asians in the Library" YouTube video that went viral last weekend.

The video features a UCLA junior who posted a rant on Asian students who talk on their cell phones in the library, claiming they fail to use "American manners".

The original video was removed by the student herself, so I will not post the rant here. However, hundreds of people have reposted the video, so if you have not already seen the notorious video, search "Asians in the library repost" on YouTube- I guarantee you won't have any trouble finding it.

What I want to share with you are the countless parodies, remixes, and responses that have been created as a result of this controversial video.

Here are some of my favorites.

Parodies:

Remixes:

Man, I love the interwebs...

Pray for Japan 2011

I am one of the millions of residents of Japan affected by this terrible tragedy.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few days, you probably have heard about the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on March 11th, 2011.
The epicenter of the quake was said to be in Northern Japan, near Sendai.
Shortly after, 10m (over 30ft) tsunamis followed wiping out towns and cities in a matter of minutes.
As if that wasn't bad enough, international news outlets are now calling it a "nuclear meltdown" relating the incident to the Chernobyl incident of 1986.

Some of us are waiting for the next big earthquake that is rumored to hit, some of us have left the country... Either way, talking about this subject puts me to tears.
However, that is not what this blog is about.

As much as I'd like to post the hundreds of videos on the internet of what exactly is going on here, I would like to take the time to post the usual videos, just to (at least) try and bring a smile to people faces here... since everything else on the TV and the internet seems to be bad news.

Here it goes:

Seen Christina Aguilera's movie Burlesque?
Seen a little asian boy rock out to her moves and totally kill it?
Now you have.



if you're still not convinced, here's a side-by-side comparison of him doing the moves to a different song (I think it's Korean).
It's right on it's a little scary



Speaking of side-by-side comparison...
This video went viral a couple years ago, but it still never fails to make me laugh.
Pure Genius.

Jimmy Says Thumbs Up

What better than a cat video to make your day?

Here's Jimmy the black cat nonchalantly giving a thumbs up on command.

just too damn adorable.

Harry who?

I almost thought this local news story was too funny to be true, but I'll let you be the judge.


BAALS for president 2012!!!

Just Not My Day

Having a bad day? So are these guys.
sit back and watch these poor guys and their last moments employees.

I always thought stacking heavy bottles of wine on a small shelf was a bad idea...



That a whole lotta Campbell's...



and for the win...

Billie Jean is Not My Lover

He's just a Brazilian taxi driver who claims that he has the voice of MJ!
and rightfully so, take a listen!

fountain to the face

Anytime someone tries to jump a fountain, you should always, and I mean ALWAYS videotape it.

Why? because 7 out of 10 times, it's going to go terribly wrong. 
(or amazingly epic, depending on which way you want to look at it)

everyone's seen the infamous walking-as-she-texts tumble



and my personal favorite water-in-your-face-fail..(a couple months old)

Ellen talks YouTube Awesomeness

If you told me 5 years ago, that my life would consist of watching new amateur videos EVERY SINGLE DAY, I probably would have laughed in your face.

Well here I am, writing a blog sharing hilarious YouTube videos with my friends who all know me as the "Queen of YouTube" (I worked hard to earn that title)

It's truly amazing to think that just 5/6 years ago, YouTube didn't even exist...
That means no random cat videos to share at parties (I party hard, obviously) , no parodies of popular music videos, and no videos of people falling.
My Goodness? How did I live!?

YouTube retweeted the following video by the great Ellen DeGeneres,
she talks about how significant YouTube has become in our own lives, and what a HUGE impact it's brought on everyone else's lives.

Video THRILLS The Radio Star

This video has gotten the recognition it deserves already,
but I wanted to post it on this site to represent my hometown...
good ole COLUMBUS, OHIO!

Word on the street is that he's already been offered multiple jobs.
I'm very happy for Ted, and props to ritchey for exposing him to the YouTube world.

I Whip My Hair Back and Forth

I know the song by Will Smith's daughter isn't that new...
and neither is this video, when I first saw it I didn't want to post it but after contemplating for 2 months I decided to do it anyway.

Prepare yourselves, for the best dancing parrot. EVER


I suddenly feel insecure.... don't you?

UPDATE:
As Frostie confirmed in the comments, the original video shows the parrot dancing to a different song, not Willow Smith's Whip My Hair.
Enjoy the original performance by the talented dancing parrot!

The Year of The Rabbit
