Those South African weirdoes are back with a typically strange video that will probably haunt your dreams and have you waking for the rest of your life – cold and frightened, in the middle of the night – And there’s a lot of swearing in it too, but that can only be a good thing. right?. Anyway, i think you’ll find it freaky and I think you’ll like it a lot.
From Sir Arthur C. Clarke to Terry Pratchett and Theodore Dalrymple (whoever the hell he is), some eggheads muse over God and what it all means and whether faith and reason can live together in unity. Or if whether believing in an unproven omnipotent being means you’re revolting against reason and morals and you worship death. God knows who’s closest to the true understanding of it all?
Here it is, the first fail compilation of the year and, as is fitting, it starts with some fireworks going wrong. Then it’s the usual bunch of addictive viewing as people headbutt walls, do the classic skateboard trick: the nustshot, and generally make a mockery of us all. If you thought had a bad January, at least you didn’t feature in this. Roll on February.
Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. If Cyberdyne Systems is going to appear anywhere, my money is on Pennsylvania. These cheeky little bots have been taught to fly in various formations and switch between those formations in three dimensions. It’s just a matter of time before they turn on their creators…
Meet Ed Sheeran, he’s ginger but do let that put you off. Here he is, trying to get over his ex-girlfriend and forgetting the pain by getting drunk with a cat and let this be a lesson to cat owners everywhere: never let your cat get drunk because they are a mean drunk. A few brews and they’ll be full of rage lashing out at random strangers in a bar, getting you thrown out for being a twat and then they’ll bring models back to your flat so you can fool around with them, even though you’re ginger. True story.
Get your freak on with these funksome dance moves from a bald guy in flares and a turquoise roll neck. That’s right, he may look like someone’s weird neighbour in a 1970s suburbia sitcom but that doesn’t stop him from opening up a can of badass as he busts some shapes all up in yo face yo.
Here’s Liam Neeson on The Graham Norton Show, doing that seriously scary quote from his film “Taken” which he’s quite partial to leaving on people’s answering machines. But better than that, a fan of his asks him to record it as a voicemail greeting and being a decent chap, he obliges. Which just goes to show, not all celebs are assholes.
A British study billed as “the most comprehensive ever conducted on gender driving differences” has concluded that women are better at parking cars than men. The study, which relied on surveillence camera footage of over 2,500 drivers across 700 parking garages, was devised by professional driving instructor Neil Beeson, and produced by car park firm NCP.
Don’t flop is good advice no matter what activity you’re indulging in and definitely not in rap battles. And definitely not in a rap battle where a pupil takes on his teacher. But while you’d think the kid might be more down with it and pwn teach, he actually gets schooled as teach takes it down to the dirty level. And if all else fails there’s always the mum cuss. Hate to say it but this is pretty damn awesome. Watch & learn.
Is this the coolest dad in the history of dadhood? Not only is he spending quality time with his kids but they’re doing an awesome activity, laying down a cool Depeche Mode track which they get to perform on, rocking the keyboard and the recorder. And to top it all off and make us all feel really inadequate the resulting song is pretty frikkin’ fly. And it features some classic ‘white man overbite’ moments. Big. Up.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking Hey, Punchbaby, it’s Monday. Isn’t it time for you to shut up and make with the links? Well yes, yes it is. So without any further ado, here are our chosen few:
These are the links you’re looking for. Enjoy!
In the Nordics they do air travel very different to the rest of the planet. No, they’re not completely bombed out of their minds, but instead they’re celebrating India’s Republic Day by literally rocking out in the aisles. A dancing flight crew surprises (annoys?) passengers after they’ve boarded a Finnair flight to Delhi, so instead of getting lost in their in-flight magazine, they have to watch stewardesses throwing themselves around. And you know what, it aint too bad. You wouldn’t get this on British Airways or Delta.
Mark Malkoff is living the Hollywood dream, but in the same rotten global economy we all are, so when he went to LA, instead of staying in a hotel, he asked celebrities if he could sleepover at their homes. Not really big celebrities like Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts but the ‘less’ major people who were in sitcoms many moons ago. And Kristen Schaal. And Chloe from 24. And the badass evil karate instructor from Karate Kid. Actually, this all sounds pretty good when you think about it…
Another musical mashup for you, though this one doesn’t use a movie for samples. The guy who made this is so good at it that he takes challenges from his viewers and the challenge here was to make a beat using only re-purposed sounds that he could make using household items. A plastic bag rustling, a couple of knives rubbing together, the sound of him falcon punching a beanbag. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of it’s parts.

Richard Dawkins who’s made a late career for himself out of offending religious types takes them to task here, effectively using their own arm to beat them into submission by claiming that had Jesus existed and not been a fictional creation he’d have been an atheist. Not doubt Dawkins would’ve been his best buddy and together they’d fly round the world and walk on water proclaiming that there is no God and aliens are selfish. Still. Let he without sin cast the first scathing comment.
Yosemite National Park, featuring a valley carved out of the American landscape by glaciers 4,000ft wide 1 million years ago. Yes, it’s one of those places where it’s OK to be totally wowed by nature and not come across like some leaf-loving hippy. It’s a place of stunning beauty, exactly the sort of place where you’d want to take a Canon 5D Mark II with a variety of Canon L and Zeiss CP.2 Lenses and time-lapse the fuck out of it.
The Tank Man of Tienanmen Square. Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston in victory. The portrait of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic. Many of us can automatically recall these photos in our heads, but far fewer can name the photographers who took them. Even fewer know what those photographers look like.
Get comfy, grab some popcorn and your favourite soda and take 7 minutes out of your day to watch this home-made labour of love from Aaron Sims. Go on, you deserve it. If you’re not convinced then know that it has an eight-foot tall combat robot, RL7, that malfunctions, goes AWOL and memories start surfacing about its possible human past. Cue the military raining down on his ass to try and cover up the truth. But RL7 ain’t going out like that.
