‘NFL Bad Lip Reading’ Makes Football Entertaining
The folks at BadLipReading have taken a stab at what NFL players, coaches and referees are saying on the field. We're guessing it's fairly accurate. It's mostly girls and food. And spitting in people's drinks. And really, re

Watch Sandy Hook School Children Perform a Moving Rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow’
It's Tuesday, so you probably need a good cry. Here, watch this video. It's children from Sandy Hook Elementary performing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on 'Good Morning America.'

Young Basketball Player Lands Most Amazing Last-Second Shot Ever
You just don't see magic like this in the NBA. Mostly because a professional athlete would probably never lob the ball backwards over his head.

Do You See a Beard in This Photo? Look Closely
Before you go and forward this photo as a hilarious example of beard growth gone awry, look closely. It's like a Magic Eye picture made with actual people. Take it all in.

Video of Drunk Plane Passenger Restrained With Duct Tape Surfaces
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.

Al Roker Pooped His Pants at the White House and Told Everybody
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.

From the Guy Who Gave You Rebecca Black, Here’s ‘Tweenchronic’
Songwriter/producer Patrice Wilson has really outdone himself this time. 'Skip Rope' by Tweenchronic is maybe not as annoying as last year's 'It's Thanksgiving,' but it's definitely crazier. (Also, Patrice Wilson put on a giant chicken costume for that one.)

Adele Plus Butter Dance Equals Your New Favorite Video
Taking the random tribal music out of a piece of performance art and replacing it with the song from the latest James Bond movie is one way to make an instant joke. This video is a piece of performance art by Melati Suryodarmo called "butterdance," but the song is 'Skyfall' by Adele. It's definitely more dramatic.

Mistletoe Prank Makes Everybody Make Out
Here's a little video to get you into the spirit of Christmas, if you're kind of trampy. Nate, Caitlin and Stuart set up shop on the campus of Brigham Young University to trick as many people as possible into kissing them by using a sprig of renegade mistletoe that drops down at a moment's notice. They are braver than we -- the whole time we watched this all we could think was "Herpes! Herpes! Herpes alert!"

Redditor Parent Makes Hilarious Family Christmas Cards
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.

Best Breakup Song Ever Written by Couple Who Just Broke Up
Jonathan Mann has written a song a day every day for almost 1,300 days. Seriously. A lot of them are very silly, but he and his girlfriend broke up yesterday, and they did a song about that. It is maybe the best breakup song ever written, because of its sincerity, maturity and plea for friends to still invite both of them to the same parties.
