What a week. With so much web goodness flying at us from all angles, it's tough to catch it all. Keep reading for the best of Urlesque this week, and then make the jump for the biggest stuff on the web this week, from some of the best viral collectors on the 'net. Urlesque Christian Bale flipped out. Did you hear about that? We had a remixed rant-off with Bill O'Reilly (Bale is winning!) and ...

Welcome to Urlesque's new weekly wrap up format, which we'll be bringing you every weekend here on Switched.. Our friends over at Urlesque try to present as many of the best bits from the Web as they can, but ultimately there are lots of goodies that don't make it onto the site. Per usual, check out this week's hottest posts from Urlesque below... then make the jump (new!) for more things that the ...

This week, the Internet turned its collective attention to the coronation of the U.S.'s new King President, Aretha Franklin's hat, and a ponytail to match Joe Biden's bodacious plugs. YouTube's best Obama impersonator, Alphacat, swore himself in, and he didn't even have to deal with a Chief Justice messing up the words. Aretha Franklin's hat turned into hot, sequined viralness, and ended ...

This week, the Internet prepared itself for the Obama Inaugural by pumping out a lot of videos about cats and babies, and made fun of some celebrities. Other things happened too, and they just about blew our minds... Atom invented a cool Obama speech generator, mad-lib style. Now you can decide which words will be wrapped around hope and change. Not wanting to be left out of all the ...

This week, we shook off our New Year's hangovers and got back to doin' what we do best -- mining the most bizarre and glorious jewels the internet has to offer. Plus, we invented a new word and sunk to a shocking new low. See you Monday! You didn't ask for it, you'll probably be grossed out by it, but it should give you a pretty clear window into our sick and twisted minds...Fetuses That Look ...

This week, we lifted back the curtain to present our first-born lovechild -- The 2008 Urlies, our recap of the year in Internet -- to the unsuspecting public. Yes, many other cool things happened, but this seismic event shook the web to its very core. Though millions were unsurprised when "Cats" (not the musical) received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, our glorious tribute film really ...

It was a short week, because in the middle we all shut our laptops and went home to stuff ourselves and take naps. But before that happened, some real craziness went down. The LIFE Magazine picture archives opened, giving the world access to a century's worth of iconic images. We found one that spoke to us -- a woman in an orb. Horses became the new cats. Midget ponies demanded to ...

Ohh, the week that was. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The economy remained firmly in the crapper, an astronaut dropped her tools into outer space, and Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey. The internet? Well it just kept on keepin' on... Some teenage girls flipped out about American Idol results, and the web, for some reason...flipped out about that. Cats rode on ...

Even though the election is a week behind us, we took the time to gawk at Joe the Plumber's new website and say goodbye to our favorite election season friend. Elsewhere, it was back to animals and weird Internet distractions. Since the web is the gift that keeps on giving, we found a lot of oddness -- so sit back, relax and check out our favorite posts for the week: How to cook real damn good ...

It's been a big week for America. The election is finally over and a new president has been elected. First order of business? Naming the Obamas' new puppy! (Well, what else would you expect us to say?) When we weren't brainstorming puppy names, we were scheming about how to steal the amazing Shiba Inu puppies that are taking the web by storm via a live streaming puppy cam (we also liveblogged ...

The Internet was bustling this week with Halloween excitement; pregnant ladies in costumes, grampires and dressing up like internet memes to name a few of the exciting time-wasters! The editors of URLesque pretty much shout out the glories of the Web each and every day by posting about the weirdest, funniest, and/or coolest places and happenings they find online. Lucky for us, they've shared ...

We're arrived at Web 3.0, and it's run by animals. How else can you explain hamsters on a piano eating popcorn? Or the sad shark? Or a dog piloting a Segway? Or real pet rocks (above)? The best we can do is accept our new animal rulers and enjoy the internet while we still can. We give the following links two paws up: For Real Pet Rocks The Best of Totally Looks Like (right) Internet ...

Always expect the unexpected on the Internet -- it's fast and unruly and sometimes we need to raise our voice with glee at just how awesome it is. The editors of URLesque pretty much shout out the glories of the Web each and every day by posting about the weirdest, funniest, and/or coolest places and happenings they find online. Lucky for us, they've shared the best of this past week's finds ...

Leaves are falling (well, for some us) but the internet is rising with sheer awesomeness. This week we discovered musical vegetables, girls with mustaches and a tourist that replaces landmarks with knick-knacks (see above). We've worked hard all week, so relax this weekend with some of these Web-a-rriffic links. We all LOL'd at this cheeky remake of a classic A-Ha song. Marvel at these ...
