This is ‘Friends (but Ross has schizophrenia)’, an edit created by Youtuber Urpoliitikko by removing the rest of the cast, reimagining the series as just Ross talking to himself the whole time. You know NBC could have saved a fortune if they’d just run with this idea instead of having

This is a 1977 television commercial for the original Star Wars film focusing on the romance between Luke and Leia. In hindsight it seems super creepy, but Luke and Leia being siblings was never part of George Lucas’s plan when the movie was made. Or even when The Empire Strikes

Because The Dude abides, this is the 1/6 scale Jeffrey ‘The Dude’ Lebowski figure created and sold by Sideshow Collectibles. The Dude stands 12-inches tall on a base featuring his coveted rug’s pattern, and includes a white v-neck t-shirt, sweater, pants (they should have gone with his patterned pajama bottoms),

Because nothing quite says gangster’s dreamworld like a resonant transformer producing high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity, this is a video of Coolio’s 1995 banger ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ performed by a trio of Tesla Coils.

This is a video of Mark Rober discussing and demonstrating the five-years-in-the-making robot he and his team built that’s capable of setting up a record-breaking 100,000 dominos in 24 hours. For reference, it takes an experienced team of seven a full week to set up the same number of dominos,

This is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill using a vacuum chamber to increase a cup of liquid nitrogen’s evaporation (as a result of increased boiling due to the lower pressure), causing the temperature to drop until it freezes into a solid around 66 degrees above absolute zero

This is a video of Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus’s coach Dean Boxall going absolutely nuts after her upset gold medal win in the 400-meter freestyle race. And can you blame him? He reminded me of Matthew McConaughey, although the announcers say he reminded them of Doc Brown and Mick Jagger.

This is a video of a tuxedo cat clearly having an existential crisis in front of the mirror. The minute-long video also has a twist ending. My existential crisis? My existential crisis did not have a twist ending. I was worried my life had no meaning, purpose, or value, and

This is a side-by-side comparison of the music videos for Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ and Weird Al Yankovich’s ‘Eat It’. Unsurprisingly, the ‘Eat It’ video is nearly identical shot-for-shot. You know, because that was the goal. I assume it was either this or footage from someone who swallowed a camera,
