This week, Twitter saved the world. But other stuff happened (some sad, which we'll leave to the serious sites) too. Fortunately we took copious notes.

• No, this is not an acid trip gone terribly awry, it's Photoshop! Celebrities with upside down faces.

• This man is Russian, homeless, and a rapper. In other words, your proverbial "triple-threat."

• Watching these time-lapse videos of people getting inked is almost like getting a tattoo yourself, minus the pain and Hepatitis C.

• Someone finally got around to autotuning the sports.
  

• We found out this guy is a Giant Coconut Crab, thanks to the most informative string of comments ever to be left on our blog.

• These people wear giant balloons on their heads and dance, all for the sake of art. It's a truly noble pursuit.

It was a crazy week on the Tubez. Did you hear about this stuff? 'Cuz it happened.

• We collected our ten favorite recut movie trailers. I hear there's a sequel on the way. [Ed. Note: Check back Monday!]

• There were some really good cries going around. A long lost mother and son found each other on the internet, and two homeless bloggers fell in love.
  

• I'm not sure what this most recent incarnation of Keyboard Cat starring Hall and Oates and Helen Hunt means for the lifecycle of the meme, but I simply cannot turn away.

• Moby told us about his five favorite websites. And yes, the rumors are true -- he's a delightfully charming young man.

• Finally, hot girls crushing cars. That is a clickable headline.

The weekend has arrived. But you don't need me to tell you that. I trust you've planned accordingly. But let's pause to contemplate the week on the web that was.

• We mined the best Christopher Walken impressions YouTube has to offer. It was a good list, but it needed more cowbell.

• Birds With Arms. Next week: humans with beaks.

• Some cute animals hid in the couch cushions, but fear not, we found them.

• It rained a lot. Unfortunately, few people on the street were using the Polite Umbrella. Jerks.
  

• We were in a train state of mind with these epic model train wrecks and videos of cameras on train tracks.

• And finally, if you're in search of the perfect Father's Day gift (the countdown is on!), perhaps consider a tough gift with a softer side -- Hello Kitty for Men!

It was a short week, but we did our very best to cram all the goodness in. Here's what happened, in case you have a job or something and missed any of it.

• Soulja Boy told us his 5 Favorite Websites. No, really, he did. And then he Tweeted about it. So that was cool.
• Apropos of nothing: there are a lot of things on the internet that look and sound like Chewbacca.
• Cute/weird animal of the week: the pygmy jerboa. I just like saying that.
  
• Reminder for readers near NYC -- come to our Meme Party on Sunday night! It promises to be a lovely evening of costumes, booze, and obscure internet references. What could go wrong?
• New trend of the week -- missing subjects. Memes missing from their scenes and Booty dancing videos without a booty dancer. We feel empty.
• And finally, we chose 100 Iconic Viral Videos, and you said we were doin' it wrong. We listened to the battle cries from commenters around the web and rounded up the Forgotten 14 -- the videos that we admittedly missed on our countdown the first go-round.

Did you hear what happened this week? Neither did we. We were far too busy absorbing this hot, viral awesomeness. Happy summer, people.

• Hide your naughty bits, nudists! The most glorious SFW photos from nudist colony websites.

• The 5 Best Whack-a-Kitties on the entire internet. Sorry to the many thousands of contestants who entered and did not win.
  

• You probably shouldn't dance to these songs at your wedding. Because if you print out the lyrics and analyze them, they are highly inappropriate.

• Imagine a world where skunks couldn't spray you with their crazy butt-juice. Would they be cute? We debate, you decide.

• We rounded up the best videos of Furries in Public. Now what they do behind closed doors would be a collection of an entirely different sort.

From the editors of URLesque.

Things got a little weird around here this week. And that is precisely the way we aim to keep them. Stay classy, internet.

• Mega-memes collided, and Obama 'Star Trek' Photoshops was born.

• Is it possible for something to be both adorable and frighteningly weird? Check out Coats for Guinea Pigs, then get back to me.

• These Bohemian Rhapsody YouTube covers will not let me go (let him go!!)

• You may watch these videos of the self-titled Fatman eating five double cheeseburgers with his shirt off and think he's all that's wrong with America, the internet and modern times. And that might be true, but help us make him internet famous so he can get on next season of The Biggest Loser.
  

• NBC's Brian Williams tried to go indie, and it was hilarious. Though give the dude some credit for trying. Please. He'd really appreciate it.

Welcome to Urlesque's weekly wrap up format, which we bring you every weekend here on Switched.

Ever have one of those weeks where everything just falls into place? Nope? Us either. Luckily, this stuff is scientifically proven to make all your troubles disappear. Don't get too crazy this weekend, kids.

• YouTube exploded with parody videos of the NBA's "Where Will Amazing Happen?" commercials. Some were even funny!

• Cats were big on the Internet this week (SHOCKER) but not just any old cat...Keyboard Cat, who blew up on the web with his FAIL predicting powers. We couldn't leave out the other piano-playing felines so Kelly collected her favorites for this week's High Five.

• Brett Favre almost un-retired again, but then he didn't...yet. Then a tipster sent us this video about Favre and John Madden having a love affair. It is somewhat hilarious and mildly disturbing. Happy Friday!

• Before YouTube, there was America's Funniest Home Videos. But what if you could combine the two?! Then you'd have this hot, steaming piece of internet gold.

• Do you like your brass instruments oversized and unpleasantly low-sounding? Well then, Contrabass and Subcontrabass are for you...

Sure, you speak Klingon and have figured out how to access blocked Web sites from your work computer, but does that really make you a geek? To find out if you actually qualify for geek status, Laptop Logic has amassed 64 processes and items with which every true geek should be familiar.

The list encompasses almost all facets of geekdom, from the mundane to the obscure. We raised an eyebrow at some entries, such as replacing a laptop keyboard or knowing the meaning of USB (Universal Serial Bus), while others -- like flashing the BIOS on your laptop -- definitely made us scratch our heads a little.

This week we climbed to the internet's highest mountaintops and walked through its lowest valleys. In our minds! Seriously though, this stuff also happened:

• We found a set of outstanding golf pants that Tiger Woods wouldn't be caught dead in. Just in time for Father's Day!

• The web finally cleaned up its act and did a good deed, tracking down a Reddit commenter's long lost birthmother. Don't get used to it.

• We bid a fond and tearful farewell to our lady of the night, Bea Arthur.

• A New Yorker cartoon acknowledged the cultural significance of Cat on a Roomba, and by extension justified our very existence.

• This angry baby would probably be a lot angrier if he know how much he was being photoshopped.

• Stephen did his best Slow Loris imitation, and it was...enchanting.

• Finally, Boy George called, and he'd like his phone back.

This was the week when it all happened. We rode the wave of all things Susan Boyle, took a step back to treasure the good earth upon which the internet resides and managed to survive the auto-tune craze. But wait, there's more!

• It's wedding season, apparently, so please hire these YouTube wedding singers to make and/or ruin your special day.
• We talked to actress Kristin Chenowith about her favorite web videos. She has impeccable taste.
• Earth Day happened, and saved the planet. We found the hippiest of real tree-huggers and some excellent free educational films.
• 
• This crazy old coot (right) brightened up our week with his bizarre antics, facial expressions and his... loneliness.
• Not since the days of 'Chaz' Chesley Sullenberger has the internet developed such an instantaneous fascination for a hero or heroine as happened with Susan Boyle. It brought us the glory Susan Boyled potatoes and other Britain's Got Talent underdawgz.
• And finally, we won an Emmy! I mean got nominated! For an EPpy!

• 
• We revealed the top 20 of our 100 Most Iconic Internet Videos Countdown. And the people rejoiced; for it was glorious.

• Never wanting to pass on any food-related viral marketing, we made our very own Ben and Jerry's flavor. Unfortunately we couldn't eat it.

• Normally we point you toward YouTube musicians who are children, terrible or cats. But these people are professionals!

• Somehow Alan Thicke, the dad from Growing Pains, got caught up in some internet silliness emanating from How I Met Your Mother. We're just happy to see him working again.

• Many important things happened on Twitter. Oprah joined, Ashton Kutcher and CNN faced off in a bizarre death-match, and somewhere an angel got its wings.

Aside from exposing some really stellar Web goodies (below), we has been naming the 100 Most Iconic Internet Videos all week long. They unveil the top 20 on Monday, so be sure to check back for the complete list of the most important viral videos in the history of the web. Here's what else we enjoyed this week:

• We discovered a magical island where ponies frolic in the water and humans frolic while looking at ponies in the water.
• You've seen animal videos on YouTube, you've seen people singing on YouTube, now enjoy animals singing on YouTube.
• We dug up the finest Passover jokes the internet has to offer. Buckets of lamb's blood not included. And Easter's coming soon, which means... Peeps getting blown up in microwaves.
• Babies caught in night vision. Cute or creepy? The jury's still out on this one.
• Through an interweb miracle, we found a breaking meme that breaks our brains: Play Him Off Keyboard Cat.
• Finally, this is what happens when white kids try to dunk a basketball. FAIL.

• The invention of the Peekaru, a version of the Snuggie adapted for Moms and their babies, was like throwing raw meat to a pack of ravenous internet-wolves. It took about 15 minutes for this to happen.
• Mark Cuban twatted all over himself.
• We designed our very own donut. Warning: eating anything like it might kill you. Can you make one that looks more disgusting than ours?
• Regardless of your personal tastes, you are guaranteed to want to bang these knockers.


• Don't adjust your eyes! These weird eyeglasses are really that jagged-looking.
• Finally, did you know that dogs and robodogs are involved in a Darwinian faceoff for intra-species dominance? And the robots are winning...

• Watching a turtle hump this sneaker may be the funniest thing we've seen in weeks -- weeks? Oh, we meant hours. The internet moves quickly, people!
  
• Behold, Cat News, the intellectual godfather of thousands of cat-memes to follow in its wake. LOLcats, meet your maker.
  
• This portly Israeli intern recreates six YouTube classics in two minutes, making us laugh and laugh -- we're totally doing this next Purim!
  
• Does the internet love ukuleles? Does a bear sh*t in the woods?
• Been thinking that YouTube rap remixes have gotten a bit out of control? We gathered the finest Thomas the Tank Engine theme remixes just to push you over the edge.

• We grooved to some Fresh Prince Theme Song remixes. Warning: Listening to The Mario Brothers one may transport you to 1993.
• If newspapers disappear, does that mean the internet will have to come up with crazy headlines to give Jay Leno material? Here are some of the funniest newspaper articles circulating the web.
  
• Barbara Walters explained, and subsequently broke Twitter.
• Signs of the times: This dude will turn your Facebook picture into a painted portrait...
• ....and Grandma Clara's Great Depression Cooking Show.
• Forget tagging the lame images on Facebook, try our Facebook Meme Friend Matcher instead!
