We love a good montage! Here's one showing 36 Hollywood actors in their very first film roles, including a young Jack Nicholson in 1960s Little Shop of Horrors (the original Roger Corman film that inspired the musical), and a nubile young Johnny Depp in 1983's A Nightmare on Elm Street. more ›

Here's a little optical illusion thing that might make you crosseyed by should be amusing. You're supposed to stare at the cross in the center as these unaltered photos of celebrities flip by. You'll see. It's weird. more ›

In the vein of Funny or Die, this new video from American Hipster is only kinda funny. But it features a fake Zuckerberg getting a piggy back ride from a fake Sean Parker, who also does an auto-tune chorus that rhymes "IPO" with "ice my bro." more ›

This was a spec ad/pitch for some sort of safe-sex organization in Sweden that was ultimately rejected. But it's such fun! Yay, condoms! [The Daily What via WOW] more ›

We've come a long way, folks. They thought they'd come a long way in 1961 when they had things like automatic dialing phone, the first video phones, and satellite communications. But imagine having problems in business like phones with no answering machines. Anyway, take a trip back to the Mad Men era in this weird, long-winded promotional film from AT&T ca. 1961. We suppose they screened this for executives in conference rooms using, like, a projector? Anyway. We took the liberty of skipping the really abstract first couple minutes for you, but you can rewind if you like. more ›

By now you've all probably seen that grating ad in which the insufferably content (and quirky!) Zooey Deschanel spends a rainy day at home talking to her iPhone and dancing around the house. The internet has responded with a number of alternate endings and parodies for this commercial, including these funny "outtakes" featuring professional Deschanel impersonator Lyndsey Doolen, who really does sound just like her. Our favorite of the lot so far, though, is this video, "Siri & Zooey: The Conversation Continues," featuring Siobhan Thompson as Zooey, and Siri as herself. (Written and Directed by Stephanie Bencin.) more ›

Hilarious: This genius child, 3-year-old Emmy-Lynn Retger, who became the youngest person ever to be admitted into MENSA for scoring 135 on an IQ test, was on the Today Show yesterday with her parents, and just as her mom was talking about what an extraordinary vocabulary she had at a very young age, the girl starts whining about how she really has to go poop. "Maybe too many doughnuts in the green room," says host Natalie Moralez, who really just wants to get through the segment. more ›

San Francisco's public enemy #2, got a bizarre shout-out from popular culture last Thursday night, courtesy of the award-winning writers of NBC's 30 Rock. As Jenna Maroney attempts to find a sponsor for her upcoming wedding, her trashy inner Florida Panhandle girl finally gets the best of her, causing her to lash out against some Muppet look-alikes with a knock-off Louboutin. It's Must See TV, especially for anyone who needs even more ridiculous reenactment of last month's depressing shoe crime. more ›

The most amazing video you'll see all day, hands down, will definitely be this footage of a woman named Jane Swoboda getting up to speak at a city council meeting this week in Lincoln, Nebraska on the topic of a proposed LGBT protection ordinance. She is obviously touched (as in nuts), and somehow manages to go from talking about Winter Wipeout to intestinal ruptures from anal sex in like ten seconds. Also, she says things like "homiciders" and "genociders," and she clearly doesn't get out much unless she's making public comment at city council meetings. Anyway, amazing. more ›

Aww. This six-week-old baby pygmy hippo, which was hoped would boost tourism at a South African wild animal park, has died. They named him Prince Harry, and he was incredibly cute. There are thought to be only 3,000 baby pygmy hippos in the world. [Facebook] more ›

Somebody give these kids an award. It truly is just as offensive and assaultive as real dubstep. more ›

The only difference between this video and a Saturday night in SoMa is a) it features someone underage, and b) furries don't tend to prefer flower costumes. more ›

This video shot from high atop Sutro Tower was uploaded to YouTube a couple months ago, but judging by it's lowly 450 plays not many of you have gotten to enjoy this acrophobia-inducing short film yet. The views here about as spectacular as you'd expect on a clear day high above Twin Peaks, but what really gets us is that ominous shadow of Sutro's claw, as seen from a platform 761 feet in the air. more ›

We do love ourselves some funny pet tricks, and cats in boxes. Now comes an adorable dog in a box which we just had to share. [via The Soup] more ›

Part-time San Francisco resident John Waters is screening his 2004 film A Dirty Shame tonight at 7 p.m. at CCA, and doing a Q&A afterward. It's free, and he'll probably get to talking about all the censorship issues and the MPAA that came along with this little comedy about sex addicts — some of which he got into in an interview with SF Weekly today. more ›

This lovely video shot at Crissy Field with a dog toy-mounted camera is just the thing to get high and stare at enjoy soberly from the comfort of your climate-controlled cubicle on this balmy April 20th. The musical score could be a little more "Benny Hill" and a little less "Indie Movie End Credits", but who are we to debate soundtrack decisions when there are adorable labradors frolicking in the Pacific Ocean? Enjoy. more ›

It's a Justin Bieber song. But this version, obviously, is way better. The singer is up-and-coming British singer-songwriter Marina Lambrini Diamandis, a.k.a. Marina and the Diamonds. [WOW] more ›

A very tenacious little monkey plays with, and pokes, a very patient feline in this viral vid that's been making the rounds. The cat actually seems to not mind being prodded and pushed around for a bit, but then he just starts sounding pissed. more ›

Did you know that STDs were on the rise among elderly people in Florida? Yeah, it's kind of been a thing. The Daily Show even covered it. Rates of STDs are up 70% down there in the last five years! And today we bring you this adorable public-service announcement that should help you remember that old people are people too, and yes, they have sex. We apologize if any of these people is your grandmother. [WOW] more ›

Several child actors from popular '80s and '90s sitcoms and film such as Charles in Charge, Step by Step, Mr. Belvedere and others, have joined forces under the name of CCOKC (Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron), which is pronounced "cock," naturally. The group has committed themselves to raising awareness about a "serious threat to our civil rights — Kirk Cameron's stupid opinions," and the result is sheer delight. more ›

Today on Anderson Cooper's talk show he brought on Animal Planet's John Fulton and animal columnist Mary Ellen to show off Nimbus — a very pretty, wide-eyed Persian cat whom Mary Ellen has taught to swim. Did you know that 1 in 1,000 cats dies by drowning? Neither did we, and this is why poor Nimbus was forced to learn how to paddle across a swimming pool and climb out on his own accord. more ›

Inspired by those plucky Oakland schoolchildren, one delightful comment and the fact that it's Friday and we haven't had a good excuse to bring up one of the Coreys in ages: here's Chunk, the lovable husky kid doing the truffle shuffle. Because that's the only way Corey Feldman would let you in his house in 1985. more ›

Last night's episode of South Park centered around all the fleeting internet memes that make up a part of our collective cultural dialogue these days, however sadly. The episode begins with the boys attempting to get a photo of Cartman "Faith Hilling" (making pretend boobies with your shirt) at a Republican debate, only to have Newt Gingrich call them out the next day in the press for being "so 2000-late" and "pretty stale... If they had crashed the debate by Taylor Swifting, that would have been impressive." As Kyle says, "How can we be passé? We're only in fourth grade!" more ›

Here's the briefest, most perfect palate cleanser for you this gray afternoon. It's a mere animated GIF in fact. Enjoy. more ›
