Every time we turn around (literally and figuratively), everyone is talking about a new "funniest video ever." Most of those videos come nowhere close to warranting such lofty praise, but every once in a while a true contender comes along and rears its slightly disturbing, fluffy little head. This week's nominee for "funniest video ever" is called "Kittens, Inspired by Kittens" (check out the ...

Ever wonder what some think your choice of cell phone (or cell phone accessory) says about you? You could ask your friends, or you could just check out this video called "Cell Phone Reunion" that anthropomorphizes today's (and yesterday's) most popular cellies, giving them all distinctive -- and some abrasive -- personalities. We'll let you guess which one plays the role of smug braggart. ...

Most of you have seen it, and many of you that have are probably still laughing. It's the video of eight-year-old David DeVore's now-famous tirade on the way back from the dentist, after being sedated. Simply put, it is one of the funniest things we have ever seen. On young David DeVore's ride home from having a tooth pulled, the heavily sedated youngster began spazzing out (while his father ...

Sure, the Onion is supposed to be satirical and over the top, but it certainly speaks the truth about trendy gadgets in this profanity-laced video (after the break). The clip, from the Onion News Network, reports on Sony's newest gadget, which nobody needs and doesn't really do much, yet for whatever reason, everybody needs one. They interview a regular guy outside of an electronics store, who ...

A few months back, Google unveiled the ability to embed links and notes within videos on YouTube. While the usefulness of the new tool wasn't lost on anyone, the level of interactivity it allows may have been overlooked at first. But a YouTube user known as copyrighthater has built a complex, video-based, photo-hunt game using these often overlooked tools. The game is divided into 30 "levels" ...

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 ...

Before they were mortal enemies, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were just two big dorks who really liked computers, and each other! Of course, the video (check it out after the break) also predates that whole Windows thing by about seven years. This bizarre dating show, taken from an Apple Event in 1983, features a bunch of software guys in '80s-era-preppy khakis and polo shirts answering questions ...

Sure, there's already TVs and devices out there ready to bring the YouTube experience directly to your living room, but yesterday YouTube launched a page just for browser-enabled living room devices (the PlayStation 3 and Wii) to browse on a TV screen.

50 kids happy to get a Nintendo Wii for Christmas - watch more gamer videos As far as we can tell, YouTube, and its various user-generated video spawn, were invented to embarrass children. Well, that and to share renditions of the 'Super Mario Brothers' theme. Need proof? Just check out these videos we've found in just the last few days. Remember the kid who was really excited to get an N64? ...

For the next month, the site is offering YouTube Greeting Cards, enabling you to quickly and easily stream a little cheer to those you love. The site enables you to pick any video ...

The great philosophical debate of the next decade will certainly be, "Is having sex with a robot hooker cheating?" Our friends over at Asylum debate the issue in the video above -- be warned it's NSFW (not safe for work) or appropriate for children. We've gotten used to robots that cook, clean, and pour us alcoholic beverages, and we all know that the next step is clearly robot ...

Rumors are flying that YouTube is infecting unsuspecting computer users with a computer virus. Before we go any further, let us just calm your fears -- it's not true. But that doesn't mean it's safe to let down your guard. It turns out that out-of-date antivirus programs are erroneously labeling clips on YouTube as containing Actns/Swif.T, a particularly nasty piece of malware that urges you to ...

Some things are best tested by others. Say, for example, the guy who first drank from a cow's mammary organ or the equally daring person who took the point from the knife above to the display of his new BlackBerry Storm. In either case, the results are tasty. See for yourself in the video after the break. [Thanks, Mike] ...

His newest work, "Immersions," also looks at a group of younger gamers deeply involved in gameplay: the intense, often ridiculous expressions on our faces as they play are a sight ...
