We know we told you to ditch them just a few short days ago, but we miss screensavers already. The days of flying toasters and text crawls (with the name of your crush scrolling across the screen) are behind us. Instead of watching an armada of winged cooking appliances zoom across the screen of our idle computers, most of us stick with the power saving blank screen these days. But you can add a ...

Urlesque Christian Bale flipped out. Did you hear about that? We had a remixed rant-off with Bill O'Reilly (Bale is winning!) and ...

What happens when you get a bunch of Internet celebs in the same room to celebrate their own awesomeness? Well, you get a little event called ROFLThing, an offshoot of last year's ROFLCon, an event that exists solely to celebrate Internet celebrity, what makes things popular, and what it all means. Our friends over at Urlesque were on hand at this weekend's ROFLThing NYC to snag some photos ...

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 focused our energies on scouring every corner of the internet to bring you the most ridiculous holiday gifts money can buy. And as the snowflakes fell outside our office windows and covered the streets with beautiful gray slush, we were left pondering memecycles, Festivus, and mankind's role in the universe. Onto the goodies! The 'Golden Girls' necklace will keep Bea Arthur ...

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 ...

Whether you're bored at work or high at home, or vice versa, you can enjoy some psychedelic time wasters courtesy of our friends over at Urlesque. We're not exactly sure what kind of reaction you're supposed to have here, but our reactions ranged from perplexed to unimpressed to straight up freaked out (seriously, what's with that dinosaur and the kids thing?). Anyway, we'd advise you not to ...

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 ...
