"Hey," you may be asking yourself, "what should I be doing right now?" The answer is looking at 'Adventure Time' GIFs. Cartoon Network's hit show will fill you with magical sparkle feelings. They are like kitten pictures, only they move and don't make you try to remember whether or not you took your allergy medicine this morning. They are, in a word, mathematical. Enjoy!
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 shut him up, as we now know, thanks to this video of him trying to scream through the duct tape over his mouth.
This is Charles the lion dog. He does look pretty lion-y. It must be even more astounding in person, because one Norfolk, Virginia, resident saw him on the street and called the police, saying there was a lion on the loose and it was potentially looking for food.
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?
Chicago Tribune photographer Amanda Kaschube snapped this picture of Bulls point guard Derrick Rose peeking from behind a pillar after a game in Miami last week. Chicago Side Sports looked at it and saw real potential for yuk yuks, so they made a couple funny pictures out of it in Photoshop. Then they opened it up to their readership, and things really got crazy. Check it out the Peekaboo Derrick Rose meme below.
They did 'Dark Knight.' Then they did 'Prometheus.' Now Cinema Sins has set their sights on listing everything wrong with 'The Hunger Games.'
Most of the time our fear of heights is ridiculous. We can admit that. This time, however ... BOOM! WE KNEW IT! AIN'T NOBODY SHOULD BE GETTING MARRIED IN A HOT AIR BALLOON!
Al Roker truly is a man of the people. He loses weight. He makes jokes. He video bombs 'Today Show' segments by freezing in place. And apparently he can't resist telling everybody when he has a little accident at the White House. The admission, which came out during an interview on 'Dateline,' has him catching all kinds of flak, but we have to admit we're impressed.
Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear. Apparently other soda manufacturers were upset and the ad was pulled from British television.
Datta Phuge is a wealthy man, but he doesn't like expensive cars or vacations. Instead, the Pimpri, India, man has a passion for gold, and he doesn't feel like hiding it away. After much research, he had a team of 15 goldsmiths make him a shirt of gold, that he apparently plans on wearing around.
If you're feeling a little trapped in your cubicle today, this NSFW video is *just* like being on a cruise ship, minus the weird drink bracelets and inevitable stomach viruses. Oh, plus lots and lots of cursing.
Fiat decided to fill us all with mixed emotions with this commercial for the 2013 Super Bowl. On the one hand, you have a terrifying, venomous scorpion. On the other hand, boobs.
