Angry Student Lecturing Teacher on How to Teach Goes Viral
This kid's got big brass ones. Or maybe he was just fed up. Actually, we figure it probably requires a combination of both to pull off a stunt like this.

Watch a Sweet ‘Yo Mama’ Battle for Mother’s Day
If you're having a hard time coming up with a nice thing to say to your mom, because you want to say something nice, but you don't want to sound too sincere because GROSS people shouldn't share their feelings like that, you should watch this video from Rhett and Link.

Artist’s Hand Vs. Street Fighter in Awesome Stop Animation
Ugh. We need to get new hobbies. This guy makes awesome stop-motion animations on whiteboards, and our hobby is to watch them. Oh well, at least it's highly enjoyable. This particular video is based on the video game Street Fighter, clearly

Disney Characters as College Students
Inspired by the movie 'Monsters University,' DeviantArt user Hyung86 decided to portray classic Disney characters as though they were modern day college students. We think these are pretty great. If you'd like to check out more, this is the page where you can find modern depictions of Aladdin, Pocahontas, Ariel and more.

The Best Confession Kid Memes
Thank you, Reddit. For all the creepy creepster stuff you do, you sometimes come up with something like this and make us laugh and laugh. The Confession Kid meme is a much more charming cousin of the now-classic Confession Bear. We think he's about a million times better though.

9 Sloths Who Are Working for the Weekend
We love sloths. There's no question. But we can't spend all day looking at them online-- sometimes we have to take a break to order food from Seamless or run a damp sponge over our body. Worse, sometimes we actually have to leave the apartment. To combat this, we've taken sloths and given them everyday jobs, so we can imagine the people we have to talk to are sloths while we're talking to them. That's normal, right?

‘Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal’ Is the Best Use of Vine Yet
God bless the folks at Gosloving, for sharing these Vines of Ryan Gosling not eating his cereal with the world (they have more). They are so absurd. However, because they feature Ryan Gosling, they are also delightful. Our favorite is probably the one where he smacks the spoon onto the floor. Just like a kid would do! But it's not a kid, it's Ryan Gosling. Sigh.

Postman Teaches Kid a Lesson He Won’t Forget
We're not sure if this is the best or worst postman in the world. On the one hand, he really makes sure that mail gets delivered. On the other hand, now a toddler is crying. You know what? We're going to go with best postman in the world, because this GIF exists thanks to him.

16 Photos of Quokkas, aka Your New Favorite Animal
If you're anything like us, right now you're probably mentally screaming, "WHAT? What is this?!! How have I never seen this adorable creature anymore?" Don't feel too bad -- it's a quokka, and it lives primarily on some islands off the coast of Australia, and is currently listed as being a "vulnerable" animal. So it's not like they're walking around all over the place.

The Best Dove Beauty Sketches Parodies
Surely you've seen this ad from Dove, in which a forensic sketch artist draws women as they describe themselves, then as other women describe them, then everybody starts crying? If not, it's here for the watching, just to give you some context before we settle in to what this is really all about -- making fun of that ad.

Awesome Mom Plays Black Keys on the Spoons
Don't be confused by the fact that this video starts with a lady feeding a bunch of kangaroos -- this IS a video of a lady rocking out on the spoons. The kangaroo intro merely adds to its general amazingness.
