We haven't seen people this upset over a movie since those poor, poor children realized they were going to die one day after watching 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.' These two fully-grown, middle-aged humans have, in fact, "been to funerals of family members and cried less" than they did watching Anne Hathaway's descent from factory worker to toothless prostitute. All it took was sitting through an afternoon matinee of 'Les Miserables.'
Hey, did you hear the good news? We managed to avoid soaring headlong off the fiscal cliff yesterday. Granted, the House pulled the plug on a bill providing emergency aid to people whose lives were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy to do it. But they did it. Hooray!(?)
Maybe musicals aren't your thing. In that case, here's a review for you. While everyone else is ruining their pants over 'Les Miserables,' one man can't get over the fact that Wolverine can sing. For everybody else, here are a bunch of 'Les Miz' covers from YouTube. Eit
You might think that children are the only people capable of being delighted to the point of preciousness at the sight of a new puppy, but you would be wrong. Look at this manly dad, for example. He bangs on a car, covers his face with adorable fists, and does a little dance
This guy's Dad Level = Outer space. With some donated old electronics and a master control board found in a TV station's dumpster, he built his son a spaceship. Then Redditor JeremiahGordon shared his results with the world. We must admit, we're pretty impressed. Take a look!
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.
In case you were wondering what happens when you leave the kids alone with Dad, here's a video to answer all your questions. It's a time lapse video of a dad and his kid playing while mom is at work. Messes are made
Considering how much most people hate looking for a job, Dave Herman is definitely one of the more motivated people we've come across this year. With just five days left in the year, he's worked 99 different jobs, and he's looking for a 100th.
It's that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012.
Send back the presents -- we really don't need them. We only need this video of a baby panda playing with a ball. Sincerely, watch it and tell us if you don't agree. We think Xiao Liwu, a cub at the San Diego Zoo, is ridiculously adorable
