Man Proposes With Boy Band Video
This guy definitely went to a lot of trouble to propose to his girlfriend. He wrote a song, made a music video, flew her to Australia and arranged to have it played at the end of another video at a giant party with all of his friends. Sincerely, how would you say no to that?
Video of Drunk Plane Passenger Restrained With Duct Tape Surfaces
Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to s
Little Girl Seriously Cannot Say Banana
Is this video adorable? Or is this kid just not even trying? We're going to stick with adorable, since Christmas wasn't too long ago. She can say apple, but this little girl can't say banana. At all. We'd like to hear her try some other fruits, because if any of them are as bad as this, well, that will be a great day for the internet...
The Screaming Sheep Acts the Way You Feel
We're all feeling it. Only this sheep is brave enough to express it. Because if you screamed like this in the office or at school, something bad would probably happen. We're not sure what, because nobody's ever done it. Thank you, sheep. Thank you...
Dad Gets Surprise Puppy, Reacts Adorably
You might think that children are the only people capable of being delighted to the point of preciousness at the sight of a new puppy, but you would be wrong. Look at this manly dad, for example. He bangs on a car, covers his face with adorable fists, and does a little dance...
Competitive Eater Tackles Denny’s Hobbit Menu in 20 Minutes
We're seriously rethinking our hobbies. James "The Bear" McDonald is seen here plowing his way through the entirety of Denny's special "Hobbit" menu, because he's a competitive eater and that's what he does. We, on the other hand, have a drawer full of half-finished socks.
It’s the Official 2013 New Year Song
If you had a big party tonight and didn't know what to play, you could done well playing this song at the stroke of midnight, if you're the sort of person who plays 'Friday' on Friday just because it's Friday. It's Rhe De Ville's newest New Year's song. It's all...

It's that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012.
2012’s Dumbest Criminals Are Painfully Dumb
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.
Watch 2012’s Viral Videos Performed By YouTube Stars
This is YouTube's look back at itself over the past year, starring its biggest stars and referencing itself. This just might be the last time we post a 'Gangnam Style' OR 'Call Me Maybe' spoof. Maybe.
Google Makes Year in Review Video for Folks Who Weren’t Paying Attention
It's nice to know that Google isn't just harvesting information about us and selling it to advertisers. Look! They also used our searches to make this video! The video, 'Zeitgeist 2012: Year In Review,' shows the top (non-porn) search terms for the last year and includes video as much as possible...
The Best ‘TBH’ Memes for Facebook’s Meme of the Year
TBH, we don't really remember a huge TBH craze on Facebook, but Facebook made "to be honest" their meme of the year because it was the most-often mentioned phrase of 2012.
Who Was the Most Annoying Person of 2012?
Well, the year is nearly over, so let's look back and hate on it a little bit. So many, many things were annoying this year. People starting saying "cray-cray" all the time, and for some reason they also all decided it was okay to waggle their chewed up gum halfway out of their mouths on the train. It's not. It's never okay.
Epic Mash-Up Jams Every 2012 Pop Hit Into Eight Minutes
If you love dance parties, but just don't have it in you to physically move for more than 10 minutes without experiencing chest pain, here you go! This pop "danthology" squeezes 55 songs that got stuck in your head at the grocery store this year into eight minutes.
Awesome Real Life Fruit Ninja Slices Fruit to Dubstep
Maybe next year accompanying everything with dubstep won't be a thing anymore. But it's not next year -- it's 2012, suckers. So here's a guy swinging a sword through a bunch of fruit, accompanied by dubstep music. It probably wasn't their goal, but they definitely make us want to do swing a sword through actual fruit more than play Fruit Ninja on our phones...
Here’s a Baby Panda Playing With a Ball
Send back the presents -- we really don't need them. We only need this video of a baby panda playing with a ball. Sincerely, watch it and tell us if you don't agree. We think Xiao Liwu, a cub at the San Diego Zoo, is ridiculously adorable. He's the combination of three great things -- pandas, baby animals, and falling over without getting hurt...
Young Cancer Patient Has Heartwarming Meeting With His Wrestling Hero
Professional wrestlers may seem like tough guys, but underneath their shiny spandex outfits and long, flowing hair (clearly a sign of ultimate masculinity), they have hearts of gold. Daniel Bryan, for example, recently met with a seven-year-old boy who has had brain cancer for almost four years, and says he's Bryan's biggest fan. It's okay if you need to go grab some Kleenex before you look at the
Watch a Delightfully Charming Interview With Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat thinks she looks like other cats. And she doesn't hate everything -- she really likes Starbucks coffee cake, for example. If you, like us, are obsessed with Tard the Grumpy Cat, this is a must-see video. You'll learn about her fears, hopes, and dreams...
Rhode Island Teacher Quits Job on the Internet
If somebody wants to tender their resignation at a committee meeting, just let them do it. They can find a much larger audience on the internet if you don't.
