Backflipping Into Jeans

We couldn’t help wonder what repeated flips into a pair of jeans does to one’s crotch. But at least watch the last 10 seconds of this (1:46).

Gravel's Got a Crush on Obama ... Girl

Now that he's ditched the Democratic Party, Sen. Mike Gravel has decided to chase after Obama's No.1 YouTube supporter in his spare time. I guess if you can't be president, you might as well become publicity-stunt-monger in chief (2:09).

Homeless James Bond

Take the class, the seduction, the sophistication, and Miss Moneypenny out of the Bond character, and what are you left with? Introducing Homeless James Bond. He still has all the gadgets, charm, and cunning to take out the enemy - he just smells a little funkier (2:47).

The Empire Strikes Barack

The Internet is teeming with mediocre Star Wars spoofs, but this one isn't too bad. Plus, the title is worthy of the Encyclopedia Baracktannica (5:00).

Beef 'n' Go

A legendary YouTube duo named Smosh is trying to get the word out on a food trend that is sure to sweep the nation. "Beef 'n' Go" is the miracle food product that lets you enjoy all the flavor of your favorite meats without having to stop even to chew (2:32).

Ben Stein: "Science Leads You To Killing People"

The Baby-Dropping Ritual

According to this Reuters report, dropping babies from 50 feet up is a ritual that has been practiced for hundreds of years. Just in case it turns out to be a hoax, we reserve the right to say we never believed it in the first place (1:07).

American Soldiers Return Home to Squalor

This video is a photo exploration of the terrible living conditions soldiers who recently returned from Afghanistan deal with at Fort Bragg. It's pretty shocking how disgusting and vile the barracks are. An outraged father of one of the soldiers in Charlie Company took some photos to show the disastrous conditions they're in after dangerous tours of duty. He's uploaded this video to try to draw attention to the matter of how American troops get treated back home (9:57).

Inside the Viralcom Studio

Is the Internet video community ready for something more provocative than "Dad Kicked in Balls"? Personally, we aren't, but this episode features everyone from the viral video studio looking for something new. Auditions are nailed, 10-page scripts are reviewed, and pudding wrestlers part ways. It doesn't get any more viral than this, unless someone takes a fastball to the nuts (5:10).

Have You Considered Quendelton State University?

Spring is in the air, so it's college-visit time! There's nothing harder for a moody, hormone-addled 17-year-old than making a smart college decision. Here's a college commercial with a welcome dose of honesty: a straight-from-the-heart ad for Quendelton State University (1:40).

Michael Showalter With Michael Cera

Michael Cera, of Superbad fame, went on The Michael Showalter Showalter on CHTV to sign a few autographs ... and to discuss the intricacies of being a "method living" actor.

Things That Suck: Spending 41 Hours in an Elevator

Poor guy must have left his cell phone at home, and, unfortunately, he was stranded in the elevator for almost two days! This video accompanies Nick Paumgarten's piece in the April 21 issue of The New Yorker, "Up and Then Down." Raw footage of Nicholas White trapped in an elevator in the McGraw-Hill building is accompanied by the Jennifer Haines instrumental "The Storm Begins" (3:11).

Office Air Horn

Having to hear from your co-workers can be pretty annoying sometimes. Here's a great product idea: the Office Air Horn. OK, so it's just a regular air horn, and it just happens to be in an office. It's still pretty useful if you don't want to hear any unsolicited babble about proper conduct in the workplace, denial of vacation time, or requests from the boss to stay late (1:49).
