Digital Trends’ top 5 viral videos of May 6, 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!

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.

Cyber Monday deals aren't just all about the gadgets -- the biggest shopping event of the year also brings discounts on all kinds of subscriptions, such as streaming services -- and some are still active today! If you're not currently subscribed to Peacock, here's your chance to try it out for a much more affordable rate than usual because Peacock slashed its price by 75% for Cyber Monday. That means you can get one year for just $20 (instead of $80), giving you $60 in savings, or $2 per month instead of $8 for the first six months, for $6 in savings per month. The offer lasts until December 2, but we highly recommend signing up right now because you may forget to do so with everything else that's going on during the shopping event.

Why you should sign up for a Peacock subscription
If you're quitting cable for streaming services, you probably already know all about the more popular choices, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. However, we think Peacock should be on every family's list of subscriptions. The best shows on Peacock include Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner as a cattle ranch owner, and comedy-horror-thriller Hysteria! starring Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, and Emjay Anthony; and Based on a True Story -- perfect for true crime fans -- starring Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina. Meanwhile, the best movies on Peacock include The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Fall Guy, and Last Night in Soho.

It's back this year, it's still available, and we’ve got the inside scoop on the newest Disney+ Cyber Monday extravaganza:
