I don't know what skill this is, but she has far too much of it. I'm pretty sure she was created by replacing the soul of a gymnast with that of a basketball player. That can't be natural.

Chromeo - Night by Night Remix
-
Dance,
Interesting,
Music,
Video
This catchy song has some great sounds and the main dancer in it has some very impressive moves. I don't know though, is he good enough that you'd pay to dance with him in a dingy warehouse? I'll leave that up to you.

Old Spice for Men

Comedy,

Old Spice didn't want to pay for the Super Bowl ad space, so instead they released these awesome ads online during halftime. Its a shame they didn't shell out for the slots though because these are far funnier than anything I saw. Here are my favorite two.

Making Something Out of Nothing
I don't know how many of you out there are sailors, but I think anyone can appreciate this. To put it simply, some sailors said "Fuck you physics, we're going fast" and then accelerated their trimaran to 20 knots in a 2 knot wind. Thats right, these guys got going ten times faster than the wind that was powering them. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Hitler's Battletech Game Goes Awry
This clip from "The Downfall" has been used is a ridiculous amount of parodies, but this particularly nerdy take on it is by far my favorite. The amount you'll laugh is most likely directly proportional to your exposure to gaming culture, so you could think of it as a nerd litmus test. In that regard, I win!

The Bat Bomb
-
Historical,
Interesting,
Video,
War
I've seen many articles on the bizarre wonder weapons that Germany created during WWII, but this American project certainly takes the cake on the strangeness factor. Whats even more odd is apparently how well it worked! Well, animal cruelty issues aside... That part is a little disturbing. It is certainly creative though.

Conan O'Brien Kissing
Best kissing reaction ever. Of course, if I'd gotten a kiss from Rebecca Romijn Stamos I'd probably be on the same boat. Full video version here.

This guy makes some amazing model worlds. The photos on his site aren't photoshopped, they actually all physical scenes with practical effects that he describes below each one. Its rather breathtaking.

Drinking for Another Season
Under the intense pressure of the "Steam Room" we watch some hardcore analysis of football's greatest drinker. The Onion won't stop until they know how this season will fall apart for seasoned drinker and fan, Chris Lukawski. Thats dedication.
God I love Onion's parody of broadcast journalism in general, let alone their actual topics :)

Life and Death Fight
Here's a cute little short about an old lady's peaceful journey into the afterlife. Well, almost peaceful...

This is a beautifully shot public service announcement to remind us of another reason to wear our seat belts. Worth the short watch for sure!
Batman vs. God
I'm sure everyone has had the argument of who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman? If you haven't, just try kicking that one into a conversation with some nerdy folk about. The sparks are beautiful :)
Of course in the end its a pointless comparison because Batman would win. Batman always wins. ALWAYS.
Don't forget that with Amazing Super Powers comics there is always a secret bonus comic to be found by clicking on the hidden question mark just to the right of the comic.

Punctuation Ain't Street
What a bold statement he's making. The man may not seem the graffiti type, but he's clearly a font of wisdom.

Oiligarchy

Oil
So this is outside my normal upload parameters, but I figured it was time we started seeing other media you know? Its not you, its me. I like interactive experiences... if you know what I mean.
Anyway, Oiligarchy is a game where you plumb the earths black gold to make your money, then bribe government officials into doing what you want. You also abuse the little people, invade Iraq, destroy Alaska, and raise the terror alert. Then when your oil economy comes crashing down as the reserves run out and and those damn "environmentalists" get up in your grill you're finally forced to turn to alternative energy. Hooray, fun games with a message!
... of course its worth noting that the alternative energy source in this game may involve liquefying people...

Badass(?) Ninja Man

This guy has clearly accumulated a lot of skills, though the usefulness of using a yo-yo mid flip may be debatable. I only say that because I'm super jealous though. The guy has released one of these vids every year for a while now, and they just keep getting more impressive. They're worth a look if this one tickles your fancy.

Vancouver City is Pretty
I mean, I already knew Vancouver was pretty much the best city ever, but for all of you with your noses pressed up against the glass wishing you could be inside allow me to tantalize you some more. The time lapse fog footage in this movie is simply stunning. Everyone should watch this.

Cute C'thulu
The horrifying story of the H.P. Lovecraft's destroyer from the depths told in a kid friendly form. Who knew that the tentacled devourer could be so cute!? What will this little tike get up to now that he has awoken from his slumber?
