We Crawl... Through Hours of Footage

How do you make a video about a band with 23 members? You give them 23 cameras and let them film their lives. The result is this oddly compelling Polyphonic Spree video. (3:29)

"Clemency": Rhymes With Huckabee

YouTube user "LittleRockRepublican" isn't thrilled with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's lenient track record on pardons and commutations, so he spins his frustrations into "Clemency," a tuneful parody of the Beatles' classic "Yesterday." (1:23)

Ron Paul Conspiracy Theorist Fodder

This is an excerpt that Fox News neglected to air in the South Carolina debate telecast on Jan. 10, and it's now buzzing around the Internet. Listen for the applause for "Dr. Paul" in the background, and you'll see why Paul's rabid fans are charging he's not getting a fair shot (2:09).

Jeff Spicoli Meets His Match Down Under

Say you're in high school and your parents are out of town. You throw a little get-together for, oh, maybe 500 people. Things get just a little out of hand, with thousands of dollars of damage done to neighbors' property and police cars. Then a TV reporter asks you how you feel. And you feel, well, absolutely NO remorse (3:26).

Turn It Up to 11!

You've shredded Guitar Hero I, II, and III, so what's left? Now, from College Humor comes Roadie Hero, the ultimate game for rock's unsung gig warriors! Simulates everything from rigging a PA to getting yelled at by the band (1:03).

IFH Monday's

Remember in Office Space when the waiter mentions "a case of the Mondays" to Peter? Well, we think the guys at Funny or Die know a little something about a case of the Mondays. And we're not just talking about the Pepto-Bismol Chicken (1:49).

The Man Who Couldn't Smile

A smile provides a window into the soul and lets us connect with others. But what if you lack this fundamental human ability? Comedian Dave Neher plays this for laughs (2:25).

Huckabee's Willie Horton?

What started as an amateur YouTube video from a disgruntled Arkansas voter was turned into a televised ad that aired during a recent South Carolina GOP debate. The gist: A mother blames Gov. Huckabee for championing the release of a rapist who went on to kill her daughter (0:57).

(Crank 'Dat) Curry Sauce

Following in the proud tradition of Crank Dat Kosha Boy comes the latest multiculti spoof of Soulja Boy's now-timeless classic, "Crank Dat." Here, the Southeast Asian take: Uncle Vijay and Uncle Ramesh, played by the California comedy duo of Pari Mathur and Harvin Sethi (2:53).

Ed Helms Wants You ... To Vote

Just in case you forgot to register to vote, Ed Helms and McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse from Superbad) are here to remind you in this 1950s-style PSA, which hits as the presidential primaries get in gear (2:46).

Newsflash: Reporter Gets Kicked by Donkey

There's a bit of a language barrier here, but in any language, this intrepid reporter is going to feel it in the morning. Maybe he'll think twice before reporting from the middle of a donkey race again (0:19).

DISCUSS

Pigs Rap

The hidden track from Aesop Rock's None Shall Pass is an unadvertised gem of free-flowing lyrics unfurled with precision viciousness. Laid over a time-lapse video of art being drawn on a wall by designer Jeremy Fish, "Pigs" is full of slide guitar and anger (4:30).

Badass Presidents: JFK

Cartoonist Brad Neely visually presents little-known facts about JFK: "Made love. Read minds. Went inside more than half of mankind" (2:43).

Badass Presidents: Washington

This 2006 video disappeared from most Internet sites after Neely accidentally sold the rights to a film festival for $250. But thanks to a loyal fan base that fights to keep it online, "Washington, Washington" is a viral classic (2:23).
