American comedian Gallagher has a penchant for glitter and destruction. Shot on a Phantom Miro and set to the tune of Bijoux by Caribou, the super slow-motion video shows Gallagher doing what he does (second) best — smashing watermelons with his trademark wooden mallet, the Sledge-O-Matic. Beware though, seeing a topless 66-year-old wielding a fiery mallet cannot be easily unseen.
The video was shot by the creatives at Fiction.

Pinterest is for girls. That’s not an inflammatory statement, the stats say so. According to the numbers, almost 70% of Pinterest users are of the female persuasion.
For the LULZ, the manly jerks over at College Humor decided to launch an all-out attack against the kingdom of wedding dresses and cupcakes. Watch as the Nyan Cat leads the charge of the Internet trolls in The Fall of Pinterest.

As gamers, we’re forever being told to “go outside” and play. However, if you’re an agoraphobic or just darn lazy to see the world, you may like these mock travel posters. Created by Caldwell Tanner (LOLDWELL) for CollegeHumor, the retro posters tell of the wonderful destinations that you can visit by just staying at home.
Explore the frozen lands of the refrigerator, kill time in the picturesque province of Skyrim, and laze about on the comfy slopes of the bed. See Tanner’s travel posters for lazy people after the jump.

When the scientists over at the Cornell Creative Machines Laboratory aren’t in the process of making Skynet a possibility, they’re having a bit of fun.
p style=”text-align: justify;”>Some researchers wondered what would happen if Cleverbot, their AI program designed to have conversations with humans, had a talk with another Cleverbot. They set up two Cleverbots in a chat environment and watched as the conversation between an Asian female and a British male starts with the usual pleasantries and then descends into name-calling and hostility. It’s oddly entertaining.

The Internet is a veritable treasure chest of superhero mashups. We’ve seen them re-imagined as dinosaurs, felines, emotional wrecks, and even with their genders reversed. And now it seems they’ve been crossed with birds, angry ones at that.
Springfield Punx reader Ryan has been hard at work dressing up Angry Birds as if they were superheroes from the Marvel and DC comic books. As tired as you may be of Rovio’s cash cow fowl, there is no denying that these angry heroes are the teensiest bit cute. Have a look at the amusing Iron Bird, Angry Bat, the Avian Torch, and others after the jump.
OMG. This is hilarious. And rude. And violent. And brilliant. So, altogether nothing unusual when the name Black Dynamite is mentioned.
In this pilot episode for Adult Swim’s animated series, Black Dynamite, the Kung Fu-knowing, fried chicken-eating, lady-loving former CIA agent is trying to extract some information when he is asked to take on a more serious mission. It seems that Black Dynamite’s childhood mentor That Frog Kurtis has turned from inspirational puppet TV educator to a life of crime. Kurtis not only controls the sleaze in Puppet Street but has used the power of television to convince all the kids who watch his show to do his evil bidding. It is now up to up to Black Dynamite and his crew to beat the stuffing out of the evil pimp-ass frog. See how it goes down below [NSFW].
The animated series features the voice talents of Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite, Byron Minns (Bullhorn), Tommy Davidson (Cream Corn), and Kym Whitley (Honeybee). You’ll recognize those names from the 2009 live action film. The series is set to premiere on Adult Swim some time this year.

Some people succeed at failing and this video from Youtube user ashomsky celebrates those successes.
Shot on a Redlake N3 high speed motion camera at up to 1,000 frames per second, this fail compilation shows skateboarders who perform some wonderful tricks, they just don’t happen to stick the landing all that well.

It’s a new month and some people like to reflect on how their lives panned out in the preceding 30 days. YouTube user TwisterNederland is one such person, except he concentrates on things that other people have not done so well. This is his compilation of bails and fails for the month of March.

That was hilarious. Thank you, Internet. In case you missed the fail compilations for January and February, you can find them after the jump.
Two girls from the country of New Zealand decided to run an experiment where they attached a tiny camera to their rear-ends and took a walk though the sunny streets of Los Angeles. The centre of silly studies (not real name) claims the results as obvious – both sexes had a good ogle at the swaying derrieres, and even Jesus (from West Hollywood) stole a quick glance. The girls, Reanin Johannink and Jessie Gurunathan, posted their video on YouTube and it has racked up over five million hits since it debuted a week ago. Check out Rear View Girls – Los Angeles below.
