See, the 17-year cicadas have already started to emerge from the ground, and there are going to be billions of them. BILLIONS. So, you may as well eat some, right?
How to Annoy Every New Yorker in Under a Minute
Thanks, Buzzfeed! Not only can you name all the ways Todd Akin is just like Zach Morris, or whatever, you also managed to take all of the most annoying things about living in NYC and stick them in one video! We are now irrationally angry.
14 Adorable Beetles That Won’t Make You Scream in Terror
Generally, when we think of beetles we imagine something black and vaguely menacing, slowly crawling towards our foot. GAH! It turns out, not all beetles are that way.
‘Textastrophe’ Pranks People Who Publicly Display Their Phone Number
Have you ever seen somebody share their phone number publicly (on Craigslist maybe, or one of those homemade ads for "computer lessons" on the subway) and thought to yourself "I should totally prank this guy"? You haven't? Oh, uh ... neither have we. Ever. Clearly -- we're not monsters. But the person behind Textastrophe is!
Disney Meets ‘Gatsby’ in ‘The Great Catsby’ Trailer
Why watch 'The Great Gatsby' when you could watch 'The Great Catsby'??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer's audio and clips from 'The Aristocats' to make 'The Great Catsby.'
Kylie Minogue Is She-Ra in Funny or Die’s Gritty Reboot
NBC should just save themselves the trouble and go ahead and make all of the different She-Ra TV shows Funny or Die came up with for this video next season. It's not like the could do much worse than they already are. Plus, this way the ideas are already fleshed out, so they can still go on summer vacation...

Man Proposes to Girlfriend With Adorable Puppet Movie

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.
Awesome Karaoke Couple Rescues Dumb ‘Leno’ Bit
You know the drill -- Jay Leno pulls some sort of "prank" on random people, and then we all are supposed to laugh at how dumb they are. Yaaaawn. Fortunately this time Leno's plan went awry, when the person he was attempting to startle turned out to be a talented, extroverted singer, who knows all the words to Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer."
‘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.
World Snooker Championships Interrupted by Massive Farts
If you're not familiar with snooker, congratulations on not being a 60-year-old British man! Also, it's kind of like billiards, and so spectators are expected to maintain silence when watching a game. No talking, laughing, and no farting. Come on, guys...
Hilarious Celebrity ‘Makeunders’ Bring Stars Down to Our Level
These funny Photoshop manipulations are one better than "stars without makeup" photos. They aren't just celebrities without makeup -- they're celebrities without stylists, personal chefs or trainers, or expensive clothes. We call it 'Extreme Makeunder: Celebrity Edition.'
Man Has More Fun on Treadmill Than You Ever Dreamed Possible
Wow. We've never had this much fun on a treadmill. Granted, we've never actually been on a treadmill because we've got really bad knees and asthma, but still ... this looks like a lot more fun than the elliptical machine too.
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.
