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!

Ninja Dog Attacks Cat

Recommended Videos

Where to begin with this one. The dog—which looks like it is half cow—decides to take a lesson from her rival, the cat, and go stealth. Like Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell, the enemy agent (the cat) is caught completely unaware as the dog attacks. The cat was fine, but if felines have pride, this one’s just took a whuppin’.

Obama TKOs Trump

It was a big week for President Obama. Last week he released the long form of his birth-certificate, to which possible Presidential rival Donald Trump ended his attacks just long enough to take credit for forcing the release. Then this week, Obama walked up to the microphones with a bit of a swagger and announced the death of Osama Bin Laden. But between the two events, he had time to rip Trump, and a handful of others a new one at the annual Press Dinner. If this were Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, you might be able to see the “TKO” over Trump’s head as the last jokes hit.

Snowmobiles and Gravity are Not BFFs

In the following video, this guy not only wipes out his snowmobile, he wipes the hell out of it, and is then forced to watch as it continues to wreck all the way down the mountain.

Taiwan Recreates Osama Bin Laden’s Lifestyle

The people responsible for the classic Tiger Woods domestic incident animation and the Darth Jobs clip are back to recreate what Bin Laden’s life was like before he met SEAL Team Six. The inclusion of the American robots and their spaceship is anyone’s guess.

Why Parkour Fans are so Hard to Insure

You know when you watch a movie like Jackass and you see that disclaimer warning you “not to try these stunts at home”? These guys didn’t listen, much to the chagrin of hospitals and the joy of internet video fans.

the-patient-tv-show-poster-hulu

Wondering what to watch this weekend but too lazy to dig around? No worries, I have rounded up three hidden gems you can binge-watch in a single weekend. There is a technothriller stuffed with cold-case flashbacks, a tense two-hander that unfolds almost entirely inside a basement, carried by sharp dialogue, and a divorce story that turns messier and more human with every episode. I recommend these three limited series on Hulu for their unexpected plot twists and stellar performances.

We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.
