Plenty of people rip on Buzzfeed for the overwhelming amount of clickbaity listicles and other viral junkfood that’s published on the site, but we’re fairly certain that nothing has satirized the company so perfectly as this video from halfdaytoday.

The skit is pretty much exactly what the title suggests: It’s a reimagining of the trailer for “The Wolf of Wall Street,” but with Buzzfeed in place of the brokerage house Stratton Oakmont. And it’s brilliant.  By slightly tweaking a few of the movie’s most memorable scenes and relating them to the king of viral content, halfdaytoday absolutely skewers Buzzfeed from practically every angle.

Check it out below. We highly suggest watching it more than once, as it takes multiple viewings to catch all the gags and find all the little nuggets of comedy gold.

If you're a YouTube fan like us, you might want to know what the most viewed YouTube videos are, and how to download YouTube videos.

Downloading a video from YouTube doesn’t seem like a big deal at first glance, but it comes with ethical concerns to consider, depending on the original post’s intent. As we've already mentioned, it's something Google definitely doesn't want you doing — it's a clear violation of YouTube's Terms of Service, but it's even more important to keep the original content creators in mind.

Presidents Day sales with electonic devices packed in open boxes.

If you've been looking to do some shopping recently but haven't found the best time, you're in luck! Best Buy has just started an excellent weekend sale with many different products, but, to help save you some hassle, we've collected our 11 favorite deals from the bunch, ranging from robot vacuums to gaming laptops. So, without further ado, let's dive right in!
Shark ION Robot RV761 -- $143, was $260

If you're looking to dip your toes into robot vacuums without spending a lot, the Shark ION Robot RV761 falls within the Shark Ion 700 range and has a few nifty features, making it a good starting robot vacuum. For example, it has a triple brush mechanism that makes it great for picking up pet hair and does relatively well on carpeted flooring. It also has its own that allows you to schedule and control it to fit your schedule, and it comes with sensing technology that lets it avoid bumping into things. On the other hand, it doesn't have home mapping, which is great for the privacy-minded, but that does mean the occasional bump does happen. The Shark ION RV761 has about 90 minutes of battery life before it takes itself in for recharging.
