Gildan’s Super Bowl 2013 Commercial Shows How Far a Guy Will Go For a Shirt
New to the Super Bowl commercial game for 2013 is Gildan. You know, the company that makes t-shirts that other people print stuff on. Apparently our estimation of them is a little low, because this guy is willing to do a lot for his favorite shirt, which is obviously a Gildan.
Kaley Cuoco Grants Wishes in Toyota’s Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
This Toyota commercial has got all the necessary ingredients for a big hit at the Super Bowl. There's Kaley Cuoco from 'The Big Bang Theory,' music by Skee-Lo and a guy in a rabbit suit. We're betting there's no shortage of men who don't mind imagining Cuoco as a wish-granting genie. You know, because she could like make enormous trays of nachos appear whenever. Not for any perverted reasons. It's
Kia Introduces ‘Babylandia’ in Their Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
We wish our parents had been as imaginative as this guy when we were growing up. When we asked where babies come from, we were usually answered with a suspicious look, or, if we were really lucky, an admonishment to eat all of our dinner.
NYC Subway Commuters Subjected to Hilarious Panhandler Prank
Generally speaking, we would say please PLEASE leave commuters alone. They're already suffering the indignity of being elbowed by teenagers in the throes of sweaty, bubblegum and Axe-scented passion. After a day of soul-crushing work most people just want to be left alone. But this prank on the 4 train might actually have made some people's days a little better.

All good things must come to an end, and so it is with the 2012 TheFW Awards. Reigning supreme in Best Cat Video, the most important category (according to some) is Henri the Existential Cat. Once you watch the video it's pretty obvious why.
‘NFL Bad Lip Reading’ Makes Football Entertaining
The folks at BadLipReading have taken a stab at what NFL players, coaches and referees are saying on the field. We're guessing it's fairly accurate. It's mostly girls and food. And spitting in people's drinks. And really, really weird stuff...
Watch the Most Impressive Real Life Mario Kart We’ve Ever Seen
Well, color us impressed. Usually when we want to play Mario Kart, we spend thirty minutes looking for the Wii steering wheel, then just give up and re-watch the second season of 'Game of Thrones.' So, good for these guys! They've got enough initiative to make up for the rest of us...
Meet Dog, the Coolest Motorcycle Dog Ever
This is a video about a dog named Dog. His owner traded a can of beer for him. Then he taught him how to ride a motorcycle. Really, what other choice do you have when you've got a dog named Dog that you bought with a beer? Did we mention Dog wears sunglasses...
The Best Manti Te’o Jokes on Twitter
Have you been on Twitter lately? It's really just a repository for Manti Te'o jokes. Ever since it was revealed yesterday that Te'o's story about his perfect girlfriend dying of cancer was a big fat sham (for the full story, this is a good source), the only purpose anybody has to go on Twitter right now is to make jokes about it. Here are some of our favorites, although there are so many it's real
‘Baby Tiger Jumping on a Couch’ Wins Best Animal Video of the Year — TheFW Awards 2012
We have to admit, the results of this contest aren't too surprising. Sincerely, it's hard to imagine anything cuter than a baby tiger playing on a couch, which is why this video of a baby tiger jumping on the couch is taking home the prize for the Best Animal Video of 2012.
Drunk Guy Singing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Wins Best Viral Video of the Year — TheFW Awards 2012
If you were wondering what it takes to beat 'Gangnam Style' for the best viral video of 2012, it's pretty obvious the answer is lots of booze.
'Bohemian Rhapsody -- Under Arrest' managed to come out on top in this year's contest, ahead of such internet faves as 'Call Me Maybe' and 'Overly Attached Girlfriend,' for the title of best viral video of 2012. (He beat 'Gangnam Style' by 27%.) Maybe that
High Speed Police Chase Takes Surprising Turn
We sat through this whole thing video of a high-speed police pursuit in Inglewood, Calif., waiting for something horrible to happen, because it's the internet. Magically, nothing horrible does happen. We aren't going to give away the surprise ending...
Dubstep Singing Bird Might Be Worst Pet Ever
Thinking about getting a parrot? You'd better kiss your dreams of being an amateur beatboxer goodbye! This video shows the results of working on your beatboxing around the house when you have a bird just waiting to mimic you.
Video of Mouse Being Released Into Wild Doesn’t End Well
We commend these guys for humanely trapping and releasing a mouse. Too bad their plan backfired so very, very quickly. Seconds after being set loose in a field, a hawk swoops up and grabs it. Their reaction is priceless. So much hard work for nothing...
Old Men Singing at Tim Hortons Will Delight You
O Canada! Our home and native land! Tim Hortons coffee in all thy sons command! Here are a bunch of older gentlemen singing a very lovely a cappella version of 'Can You Feel The Love' tonight in a Tim Hortons.
The Best Pranks From ‘Impractical Jokers’
YouTube
It's not even the slightest bit of a secret that we love a good practical joke. We even kind of like the bad ones. Basically, as long as nobody winds up in a hospital, we're on board. So it should come as no surprise that we are BIG fans of the TruTV show 'Impractical Jokers.'

Just a Dog Driving a Power Wheels, NBD
Holy cow, it's a dog that can drive! Sort of. Granted, we've seen dogs driving actual cars before, but this one is an enormous dog in a tiny Power Wheels. Plus he has no idea how to steer. The technical skill may not be as impressive as those well-trained dogs in New Zealand, but the cute factor is waaaay up here, folks...
This is Easily the Lamest ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fail Ever
Wow. This lady is going to have to attribute this to sheer panic, because this is just about the most unhip 'Wheel of Fortune' blunder ever. It's one thing to make a mistake. It's an entirely different thing to think 'I Have the Wine' is a song by Johnny Cash...
Adorable Kid Goes Wild on Xylophone in Class Concert
If only something this entertaining happened at every primary school band concert. Usually it's just kids blowing half-heartedly into recorders while the audience longs for the sweet release of death. But not this time. This time there is a xylophone bashing maniac onstage, and it is the most glorious thing we've ever seen.
