By Ryan Fleming December 24, 2010

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

A Very Venture Christmas

If you are fans of The Venture Brothers on Adult Swim, then this will be an especially funny clip. If not, it will be a song sung in weird voices with cartoon backgrounds. Eh, can’t please everyone. Go Team Venture!

Ho Ho HOH MY GOD THERE ARE ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!

Tis the season for the undead to walk the Earth. If the Chinese calendar could add one more animal to the cycle, somewhere between the rat and the pig you might find the zombie. It has been a big year for the undead, and what better way to celebrate the season than to finish off a few walkers.

How an electrical engineer celebrates Christmas

In the spirit of the season, this electrical engineer has decided to crush his neighbors’ spirits and their puny Santa stand-ups! It is the Conan the Barbarian of house lighting displays. He totally Griswolded his house.

How the Star Wars Christmas special should have been

Who can forget the original Star Wars Holiday Special? It was a time of cheer, when our favorite members of the Star Wars universe came together and shattered our childhood illusions by presenting an epically bad look at the universe we had all sunk our dreams into. Sadly, it was also something of a look into the future, and the terrible, terrible depths that George Lucas’ mind would sink. Here is a glimpse at a real Star Wars Christmas.

Sledding with the Swedish Airforce

What better way to celebrate the season than to take a multibillion dollar state of the art death machine and use it to sled. Shockingly, the Swedish have never been known for their air superiority. Huh.

Gaming can be a lot of fun, but if you're the sort of person who doesn't want to deal with a big gaming desktop, then going for a gaming laptop makes a lot of sense. Of course, you aren't going to get as much power under the hood as you would with a desktop, and it might cost a bit more, but you do get a lot of mobility and an included screen in the process. Either way, modern gaming laptops have become really great, and even the budget-oriented stuff can play some of the best PC games out there.

To that end, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite gaming laptop deals out there. On the other hand, if you don't want something that yells "gaming laptop," check out some of these other laptop deals that include more traditional-looking laptops with some gaming specs.

If you just grabbed one of these desktop deals or laptop deals, then you may want to also consider arming yourself with one of the best antivirus programs on the market. That's especially true since the antiviruses that tend to come with these deals only last 30 days or so and don't even include the full suite of tools. So, if you want protection against everything from viruses to phishing scams, then be sure to check our favorite antivirus deals below.
NortonLifeLock 360 Deluxe -- $35, was $90

Norton products are a firm fixture amongst the best antivirus software for good reason. They're simple to use and typically cover all the devices you could need to protect. In the case of NortonLifeLock, you get so much more than just antivirus protection too. The software package covers up to five devices at once meaning it will happily work on your Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS systems all at once without a problem. That means all your devices will be regularly monitored for any nefarious files or any other potential issues relating to malware or similar. Real-time protection means there's nothing you need to do other than keep an eye out for any alerts from the service. It's great peace of mind but Norton LifeLock 360 Deluxe goes further than that.
