We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

Extreme Unicycle

X-TREME unicycle! Generally, you can add “extreme” to anything to make it sound more badass, but it helps to be able to back it up. Rider Max Schulze makes the argument that people that ride bikes with two wheels are sissies.

Luchadore’s gone wild

Although wrestling may not be entirely real, it is hard to fake the amazing acrobatics of this determined Mexican luchadore. It may be fake, but it is still awesome.

Matrix Ping-Pong

An oldie, but a goodie. The Japanese are weird, and for once it works out in their favor. If you haven’t seen this video, you are in for a treat, and if you have, this one never gets old.

The Red Shirt Guy from Blizzcon

There are so many cruel, cruel jokes to make about this kid who went to Blizzard’s annual convention and proceeded to school the game makers on World of Warcraft history. It would be tacky and wrong of me to pick on him. So please feel free to insert your own jokes below in the comments! As a reward for frightening the makers of the game, the now legendary “red shirt kid” is a playable character in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion. Unfortunately when he heard the news, the kid exploded in nedgastic joy.

Tyler Kirk is insane

I don’t actually know who Tyler Kirk is, and after watching this video, I have no desire to meet him because he is most likely insane. Enjoy him now before he dies horribly.
