How To Make Stay-Awake Glasses

You'll never need to miss a nap again with these glasses! Easy to make! And better than mainlining caffeine (1:38).

The Long Tail of Tom Cruise

Up for more Tom Cruise parodies? We can’t seem to resist. In this wide-ranging spoof on Tom's now-infamous Scientology recruitment vid, Jerry O'Connell riffs on the plight of the underemployed actor, the power of KFC ... and manages to work in a reference to The Aristocrats (3:16).

Mac Attack

You'd think Apple is taking enough hits these days with the stock market pummeling its market cap. Now comes the inevitable slew of snarky MacBook Air parody ads. And the beat goes on (0:47).

Putting the Brit in Britney

Can we officially call Britney Spears crazy? The pop wreck has been bopping around Los Angeles speaking with a British accent and claiming not to know paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. Who are we hearing in this video—Britney or her split personality, Mary Poppins? (3:55)

Truly Trippy

If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to transcend space and time, then we highly recommend stepping into Efterklang's world. In case you were wondering, Efterkland is Danish for 'magical mystery tour' (5:00).

Internet House Party

Imagine if the Internet threw a party and invited all its friends. You know: YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Wikipedia, Ask Jeeves, Snopes. Check out this clever video, and you'll get the picture (4:23).

DISCUSS

Tuesday Jan. 22, 2008. Picked by Austin Keenan.

Rudy Campaign Theme Song

Could Rudy Giuliani play up his 9/11 achievements any more than he already has? With the Florida Republican primary approaching, this comedic video spoofs the former New York City mayor's hyperbolic achievements, and just about every other embarrassing detail about Rudolph Giuliani you can find (2:38).

Tom Cruise Judaism Indoctrination Video Leaked!

By now you've probably seen Tom Cruise's Scientology pep-rally vid, which has been whizzing around the Web. Now, the inevitable follow-up parody. Turns out, Cruise is an equal-opportunity indoctrinator. In this new find, "Tom" (played by Jon Kesselman of Jewcy magazine) hypes a religion even more powerful: Judaism. It's pretty much all about KJW: Keeping Judaism Working (2:52).

Weather Porn Alert! Tornado Interrupts Soccer Game

When we were young, we used to wish for a magical tornado to swoosh down on our neighborhood soccer field and steal the ball, sparing us the embarrassment of actually having to play the game. Who knew it could actually happen? (1:14).

DISCUSS

Friday, January 18, 2008. Picked by Patrick Sauer.

Better Than Haiku

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway won a bar bet by writing the best life story in six words. The personal essay Web site Smithmag.net picked the best of some 11,000 six-word life-story submissions for a new book. Memoirists include everyday folk and celebs like Mario Batali, Joan Rivers, Dave Eggers, and Joyce Carol Oates (3:06).

Don't F-ck with Bill Clinton!

If you have any doubt about how much Bill Clinton wants Hillary to win (or at least how much he can’t stand to lose arguments), check out this clip. The former president gets into it with a random TV reporter about lawsuits surrounding the Nevada caucus (3:28).

"Everyday Normal Guy," Take 2

Jon Lajoie adds a little flava to his average-Joe life in the second installment of his "Everyday Normal Guy" rap. It takes a real gangsta to admit that Celine Dion makes you cry (3:32).

Tom Cruise Channels L. Ron

Want to know just how much Scientology animates Tom Cruise’s being? Spend nine minutes streaming this. And do it soon, before the clip gets removed from the Web... again. (9:13)

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)

DISCUSS

"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)

DISCUSS

Thursday, January 17, 2008. Picked by Austin Keenan.

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).
