Manipulate pictures of Church signs (you know, the old marquee style signs) to say whatever you want. Your choice of over a dozen signs, with the ability to set the name of the church, the fonts used, and of course the inspirational message on the sign.

A real-time feed of all Twitter posts that contain swear words. They also keep a running tally of the most oft-used curse words. Ridiculous, pointless, addicting and hilarious.

This is essentially a Cooper Mini ad, based on their previous "Counterfeit Mini" TV commercials, but on this site you get to slap around a guy who has purchased a counterfeit Mini, but is in denial. Slapping people is fun!

The Muppet's Beaker simultaneously sings/plays six parts to "Ode to Joy" using overdubbing in 6 separate boxes onscreen. You'll end up watching this repeatedly to see what happens in each sub-screen - and how they end up affecting one another.




Bonus: Gonzo, Camilla, and 7 other chickens sing 'Blue Danube':

You get be Johnny, with your own personal Ed McMahon punctuating each joke with his trademark "Hiyoooooo!"

...And the best for last! Do David Caruso impressions all day long with this handy button that will play (very loudly - consider yourself warned) The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" scream just as Horatio puts on his sunglasses (as he always does).

Adorable and heartbreaking at once, "animals in casts" is guaranteed - one way or another - to make you say "Awwwww...."

This site contains nothing but pictures of sandwiches - captured exclusively on a flatbed desktop scanner.
Step 1: Buy a sandwich
Step 2: Place the center-sliced portion on a scanner to reveal a beautiful cross-section of your sandwich.
Step 3: Still eat it? I don't know what they do after scanning...
They are kind enough to mention the type of sandwich and the deli where it was purchased.

Banh Mi So 1: Vietnamese Meatball

Katz Deli: Tongue and Mustard on Rye

Mooncake: Steak, Peppers, Lettuce, Herbal Mayo on a baguette

Cafe Duke: Reuben

Go to this website for a kid-friendly YouTube experience. Instead of relying on filters and video tags, all videos available here have been personally certified by the site admin for his own 2 kids. The site has a simple but fun interface, where hitting 'spacebar' goes to the next video.
Another cool thing is you can create a more specific pool of videos from which to draw. For example, http://www.kideoplayer.com/babyeinstein specifically brings up Baby Einstein videos. In the same manner, typing "kitten" at the end of "www.kideoplayer.com/" will play only videos containing kittens. And so on...

Mr. T's Infomercial for a counter-top oven. From the moment he smashes through the 'door' to get on set, to the moment he commmands "Now, enough of this jibber-jabber. It's time you called and got your very own!" it is pure T.

Still, to cleanse the T palate, watch this vid of Mr. T and Conan O'Brien hanging out in an apple orchard:

"F My Life": people telling stories of how terrible their life is. Most are funny, a few are sad, many are probably made up. Somehow, a lot of them have to do with sex.

A girl's boyfriend said she reminded him of a zebra. Because of her stretch marks.

"Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired. FML"

"Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold. FML"

"Today, my parents gave me a shirt from Banana Republic for my birthday. It looked like one I had bought for myself a couple of days earlier but I thanked them and went to hang it in my closet. An empty hanger hung where I placed the shirt I had purchased. They gave me my shirt for my birthday. FML"

"Today, it was my birthday. My girlfriend bought me a Nickelback CD. FML"

...and there's a LOT of emails/phone calls/texts sent to the wrong people - usually exposing an affair or how your parents REALLY feel about you.

An old classic for St. Patrick's day: A news story from Mobile, AL about local Leprechaun sightings. Residents gather to see a leprechaun that has been seen in a local tree. I love the witness sketch of what the leprechaun looks like, as well as the man holding something that looks to be a car part as he claims it is a "Special Leprechaun Flute" handed down "from thousands of years ago" by his great-great grandfather.
