To celebrate both YouTube turning eight-years-old as well as kick-off the site’s Comedy Week, America’s favorite remixers The Gregory Brothers recently delighted us with the history of the beloved video sharing site in song.Â It’s hard to believe that just eight years ago there was no Chocolate Rain nor Pop Tart Cat. How did we [...]

Daily Distraction — Tue, 21 May 2013 08:00:47 +0000

[onescreen item="5074995"] Anyone who’s seen their dog try to drink all the water shooting out of a sprinkler knows just how mesmerizing some animals find those machines. We don’t blame them. One of the great joys of being a kid in the summertime is running through sprinklers. And there are so many different ways to [...]

[onescreen item="5074341"] Do you feed your pet the occasional scoop of Rocky Road? As the weather heats up, so does our craving for ice cream. And we’re not the only ones.Â It’s one of those few precious things that practically all of us can agree onâ€”humans, animals, you name it. Dogs, cats, groundhogs, woodchucks, pigs, guinea [...]

Emerald Catron — Sun, 19 May 2013 05:59:14 +0000

Once you see one reversed GIF, you kind of want to see every GIF reversed. Aladdin becomes the kind of guy who steals food from orphans, heroes become jerks and the “Stop Girl” seriously wants you to stop. Like, now. These are a few of our favorites. Aladdin’s True Colors Just going to put this [...]

'Koalaing' Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet

Emerald Catron — Sat, 18 May 2013 05:31:00 +0000

Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

Watch These Ducklings Struggling to Follow Their Mom — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:00:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5073572"] Sure, being a baby duck means that you’re undeniably adorable, but that doesn’t make life any easier. You’re expected to do lots of things that most species can’t accomplish when they’re just a few days old. For example, when we adult humans encounter a curb, it isn’t too intimidating. But to a duckling, [...]

Watch These Dogs Walking and Talking in Their Sleep — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:00:32 +0000

[onescreen item="5073247"] While we can’t know for sure whether dogs really dreamâ€”we’ve asked ours a hundred times, can’t get a clear answerâ€”it’s hard to reach any other conclusion after watching these pooches. There’s the barking, the mumbling and, of course, the lying-on-their-side running which, in at least one case, leads to the dog actually getting [...]

Watch These Animals Poking Their Heads Inside Cars — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:00:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5071968"] It can be hard to get an accurate idea of just how big, say, a giraffe actually is. Then one sticks its head in through your car window and you have a very, very clear idea. Giraffe heads are HUGE. Like, take-up-the-entire-front-seat huge.Â As are camel heads. In fact, if you happen to find [...]

Watch These Kids Trying to Say Tongue Twisters — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 13 May 2013 08:00:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5071560"] They say tongue twisters are a great way to teach a child how to speak English better.Â Really? Sounds like a great way to terrify the poor kid. If we actually had to say things like “unique New York” or “toy boat” over and over again in daily conversation, we might consider taking a [...]

Watch These Jugglers Doing It Wrong — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:00:55 +0000

[onescreen item="5069514"] Juggling is really hard, so maybe adding fire and chainsaws and knives and stuff like that isn’t such a great idea for the non-expert. It seems almost meant to lead to these types of accidents, doesn’t it? We’ll gladly watch, thank you, but please stand back. We have this odd feeling you might [...]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 23:07:34 +0000

Car company Ford is in a little hot water for an ad campaign that revolved around making light of kidnapping in order to advertise the trunk space of their Ford Figo, with one ad putting a caricature of Paris Hilton in the role of driver and Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian bound and gagged in the trunk.

As the ad states, "Leave your worries behind with Figo's extra-large boot." Or in layman's term, our trunk is so big, it can fit three whole Kardashians!

Hawks Are Jerks!

Chris Reynolds — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:19:36 +0000

I frequently notice hawks perched on phone lines as I’m driving around our beautiful Acadiana. They sit like majestic statues, waiting for the opportunity…to be jerks. I found this video this morning, and it makes me a little sad. Yes, it’s “the circle of life” and all that, but I once had to put a [...]

Cat Wins Shell Game Every Time!

Chris Reynolds — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:12:37 +0000

We have a cat at the Reynolds’ home, called “Cosmeaux.” (He’s also from Abbeville.) I’m not a huge pet person, but we had a few cats growing up and I preferred them to the dogs we had, who generally smelled awful and jumped all over me. (Hear that sound? It’s JayCee de-friending me on Facebook). [...]

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:55:20 +0000

Movember might be long over, but that doesn’t mean we’re still not mustache fans. We’re actually dedicated, year-round fans of the crumb catchers, so it’s always exciting to discover another ‘stache trend on the Web. Actually, we recently came across an unexpected group of little people sporting some classy upper lip hair more often than [...]

There is life in outer space, and it has made contact with â€¦ William Shatner? â€˜Star Trekâ€™s Captain Kirk reached out to a citizen of the cosmos via Twitter on Thursday, but it wasnâ€™t a Klingon, a Vulcan or even a Ferengi who tweeted back. Shatner engaged a being even stranger than those otherworldly aliens [...]
