Video of Drunk Plane Passenger Restrained With Duct Tape Surfaces
Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to s
Watch Intense Footage of a Hot Air Balloon Wedding Gone Terribly Wrong

Al Roker Pooped His Pants at the White House and Told Everybody
Al Roker truly is a man of the people. He loses weight. He makes jokes. He video bombs 'Today Show' segments by freezing in place. And apparently he can't resist telling everybody when he has a little accident at the White House. The admission, which came out during an interview on 'Dateline,' has him catching all kinds of flak, but we have to admit we're impressed.
SodaStream Bringing Banned Commercial to Super Bowl 2013
Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear.

See Crazy Photos From Coney Island’s New Year’s Polar Bear Swim
The Coney Island Polar Bear Club's annual New Year's swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun. We probably should've gone, but there was that whole hangover thing to deal with. Which makes us wonder, does jumping into the freezing Atlantic ocean cure a hangover? If so, we're totally there next year.
Watch Every Pop Culture Reference From Quentin Tarantino’s Movies
We genuinely thought that if every pop culture reference ever made in a Quentin Tarantino film was stuck into one video, it would be a lot longer than this. It seems like quite an undertaking. The folks at College Humor were also good enough to arrange them all in chronological order, showcasing the scope of his knowledge, and proving that Tarantino would probably kill at Trivial Pursuit. Also, it

Happy New Year! Why not start your year off right -- by watching Anderson Cooper desperately trying to keep Kathy Griffin's face away from his groin.
The Funniest Fiscal Cliff Memes
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!(?)
Competitive Eater Tackles Denny’s Hobbit Menu in 20 Minutes
We're seriously rethinking our hobbies. James "The Bear" McDonald is seen here plowing his way through the entirety of Denny's special "Hobbit" menu, because he's a competitive eater and that's what he does. We, on the other hand, have a drawer full of half-finished socks.
J.J. Abrams Grants Dying ‘Star Trek’ Fan’s Wish
Anybody who thinks Reddit is just for misogyny and creepy porn is only PARTLY right. They do their fair share of good as well. The story of a man dying of cancer is one such instance. Thanks to the good people of Reddit this loyal Trekkie will get to see some, if not all, of the new 'Star Trek' movie before he dies, thanks to the one and only J.J. Abrams.
