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!


And Now For Something Completely Different

So, this happened…


Behold! The Milky Way! (No, not the candy bar)

Recommended Videos

Thieves who may have been passing by Spain’s tallest mountain, El Teide, between April 4 and 11 missed their chance to snag a high quality camera that was left to record the perceived movement of the heavens. The thieves loss is our gain.


Car Thief Escapes British Cops

First, it is important to note that we do not in any way endorse the breaking of laws, especially ones that potentially put lives in danger. What this suspect did when a police officer in the UK tried to stop him after identifying the stolen Mercedes was wrong. Even though it looks like it would have been a lot of fun to go all Need for Speed. We would never condone the drivers awesome–err, reckless ways.


Dschinghis Khan Gives Potential James Bond Villains Another Choice

Although this group may look like a Star-Trek Mirror Universe alternative to ABBA, the group is from the former West Germany, and is preforming in Australia, singing a song about Moscow. They are everywhere, like an infection. The star of the band unfortunately passed away a few years back (possibly at the hands of the suspiciously James Bond-y looking villain in blue), but when you are this weird, and we have the internet, you are immortal.


Keenan Cahill Joins the San Francisco Giants

Keenan Cahill has made a name for himself by fulfilling the full potential of the internet, and posting videos of himself lip-synching some of today’s biggest hits. At first, people may have laughed at him, but now most are laughing with him. In the video below, he is joined by the fantastically bizarre San Francisco Giants relief pitcher, Brian Wilson, and his teammate, Cody Ross (plus the Giants mascot which has never really made much sense—is it a dog?) to help promote a charity night to help Cahill, who suffers from the extremely rare disease called Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome, or MPS type 6. If anyone ever deserved a bit of fame from the slew of internet video sites filled with dudes getting kicked in the nads for fun, people vomiting on film and Kim Kardashian, it is Cahill.

The year 2000 was an excellent one for director Steven Soderbergh. He directed not one, but two Best Picture nominees. Plus, Soderbergh took home the Oscar for Best Director for Traffic.

The other movie he made that year is even better than Traffic. Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts at the peak of her powers, follows a single mother of three children who discovers a massive coverup being perpetuated by a major energy company. Here are three reasons you should check it out while it's on Peacock:

Amazon announces Prime Day 2025 will be July 8-11
Best Prime Day Amazon Deals

Amazon officially announced two major things about Amazon Prime Day 2025 today: the exact dates of the sale and a surprise about its length. Prime Day 2025 will run from July 8 through 11, confirming our suspicions of a mid-July date and surprising us by doubling the usual runtime for the event.

Historically, Prime Day has been two days long. The dates jump around every year, but the length has stayed consistent. Amazon announced the dates with a press release and a commercial featuring Lebron James imagining his post-NBA career.

Deliver Me from Nowhere trailer: Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen could lead to Oscars
Jeremy Allen White puts his arm in the air and sings into a mic.

Jeremy Allen White grabs his guitar and rocks out as Bruce Springsteen in the official trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.

Springsteen and the E Street Band were red-hot entering the '80s following a string of successful albums, including Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River. On the cusp of superstardom, the Boss grappled with his past and the pressures of being a rock star. Deliver Me from Nowhere picks up in the early '80s and chronicles the making of Nebraska, Springsteen's 1982 album that many consider his true masterpiece.
