Digital Trends’ top 5 viral videos of April 29, 2011

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!


Behold the Matrix Dance

If you have ever seen the show, America’s Got Talent, then you can easily guess the type of things that people get up to on the British original. In this episode, a Romanian break dancer shows gravity who’s boss.


Drink Wilkins Coffee or the Muppet Dies!

Although this video was originally from the late 50s, and it made its way to the intertubes in ’09, it has recently seen a revival and is making the rounds. The video below is a collection of ads that Jim Henson created to help sell coffee. For the day, they might have been considered somewhat shocking. In fact even by today’s standards, a few of them might catch you off guard. Especially the ones where the muppet dies horribly.


Hardcore Texting

Most states have enacted laws prohibiting texting while driving, and with good reason. It is dangerous, and people die, frequently. This guy, however, may just live forever, just to be contrary.


Man Goes Extreme Skiing, Mountain Ups the Ante

Sometimes when you challenge nature, nature gets tired of your crap and decides to show you what’s up. While doing a little skiing/base jumping, the mountain being skied upon decides to put on a show.


Tornado Hits St. Louis Airport

As you likely know, a series of tornadoes recently ripped through the South and the Midwestern states. Check out the video of a twister hitting the Lambert-St. Louis airport. Things get real, yo.

10 best action-comedies of all-time, ranked
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it's the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often.

This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it's technically based on a TV series from the '80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless, that's as good a reason as any to update our list of the best action comedies of all time. It would be too easy to load up this list with films from the '80s and '90s, when action comedies were at their peak. However, we've also saved some slots for more recently released action comedies that deserve some recognition as well.

If you have to watch one Hulu movie in May 2024, stream this one
Tom Hanks in Cast Away.

It's a new month, and that means new movies on Hulu. And somebody over there really loves Tom Hanks. Because in this month alone, Hulu is adding Hanks' directorial debut, That Thing You Do, one of his most iconic films, Big, and one of his most recent hits, Elvis. But if we had to choose only one Hulu movie to stream in May 2024, then our pick is another Tom Hanks movie: Cast Away.

Robert Zemeckis directed the film from a script by William Broyles Jr. It cast Hanks as Chuck Noland, a FedEx employee who survives a plane crash in the Pacific ocean, only to find himself stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere without anyone to turn to but himself. Cast Away was actually a big hit in late 2000 and during the early part of 2001, earning $429.6 million worldwide. That may not have translated into Oscar gold for two-time Best Actor winner Hanks, but Cast Away is an unforgettable film that deserves a new audience nearly 24 years after it hit theaters.
