An awesome collection of great Rube Goldberg contraptions. The videos are from Japan, but they're inspired by the classic German short "The Way Things Go." This makes me see the random crap sitting around my apartment in a whole new light. view

As a non-smoker, I’m all for keeping cigarette smoking out of restaurants, bars, and other public places. But if you can pull off this crazy trick, I say you’ve earned the right to light ‘em up wherever the hell you like. view

You've seen those "banned from tv" commercials, now brace yourself for videos banned from YouTube. This British PSA on teen pregnancy was taken down because of its unabashed realism of a teen girl giving birth. Chances are the ban is only going to help this video spread like wildfire, and I wouldn't be surprised if more videos attempted to get banned just to generate some buzz. view

The latest viral ad from GameFly - the world's leading online video game rental service, is stripped down, scriptless and is the core essence of their longer commercial. The short shows the power of good editing and well-placed title cards that illuminate the stages of exhilarahition that quickly devolves into pure rage when you purchase a video game you THINK is going to rock. This ad is a lesson to all ad agencies out there reminding them that brevity is the soul of wit. view

Cats don't like water, right? Well, no one told THAT rule to THIS tabby, who simply delights in placing her head under the kitchen faucet. Yep, this cat loves water. view

Truly the difference between Canadians and Americans in a beer ad. As a transplanted Canuck I show this ad to my American crew on 24 when they start making fun of the way I say "out" or "about." view

This video documents Brain Storm, a very smart little mouse, as she works her way through the "world's longest and hardest mouse agility course." This clip demonstrates how YouTube is now a forum for amateur science experiments. It also reminds us that mice are cute. view

Next time you want to order out, you might think twice about Domino's... at least I hope you do after watching this clip. A PR nightmare, these two employees cook up booger and fart sandwiches and have the balls to post their homemade videos of it on the internet. Just plain stupid. view
