Watch These Cats Getting Stuck in Jars — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 08 May 2013 08:00:16 +0000

[onescreen item="5069256"] Cats love to squeeze into tight spaces: barely open drawers, the gap between the wall and the couch, and, of course, cat-size jars. We must’ve seen about a hundred of these cats-in-jars videos, and it often looks like the cat in question might finally have gone too far. Maybe he just forgot that [...]

Watch These Twin Babies Communicating in Their Own Language — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 07 May 2013 08:00:35 +0000

[onescreen item="5068968"] It’s pretty much impossible to understand what a baby is actually saying, unless of course you’re also a baby. They say twins sometimes have a psychic connection, and after watching these clips, it’s hard to argue with that. What sounds to most of us like a series of “goo”s and “gah”s and the [...]

Star Wars Day Attack Ad: Say No to May the 4th [VIDEO]

Jeremy Fenech — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:55:20 +0000

I love a good and cheesy public service announcement. From Canada's "Say No to Social Farting" to my own "Fighting the Effects of Obsessive Oversized Puppy Syndrome," parody PSAs are always good for a chuckle. Now there is a new one blowing up the internet.

Watch These Models Falling Down on the Runway — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 01 May 2013 08:00:03 +0000

[onescreen item="5067230"] Modeling is tougher than it looks. Do you see the shoes these women have to walk around in? In most cases, when a model takes a tumble on the catwalk, the culprit is the footwear. Perhaps she had one glass too many of champagne backstage, but we’ll never know for sure. It’s gotta [...]

What Is 'Chandeliering?' [VIDEO]

Jeremy Fenech — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:54:14 +0000

A Minnesota woman caught an ice-shattering spectacle known to some as “chandeliering” on camera. Chandeliering happens when the ice on top of a lake starts to melt, breaks into shards, and accumulates on shore. It basically looks and sounds like broken glass being pushed into a big pile. See it for yourself right here!

Watch These Amazing Softball Catches — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:00:51 +0000

[onescreen item="5065210"] Softball season is now fully under way, so let’s take a look at some highlights. No matter what level you are—high school, coed bar-league teams, even more advanced squads that travel all over the country—when the weather warms up and you can finally put that glove back on and hit the field with [...]

What Is Parahawking? [VIDEO]

Jeremy Fenech — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:57:59 +0000

I’ve always been a thrill seeker. While I’ll go on any thrill ride you put in front of me, there are still many things I want to do like skydiving and para-sailing. But here’s one I need to add to the list. It’s called parahawking.

Watch These Dog Agility-Course Bloopers — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:00:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5064678"] It’s not just our dogs who have trouble on these agility courses, we humans do too. As if we humans didn’t have enough trouble jumping over hurdles, we feel the need to make our poor pooches do all that and more. Sure, they might miss a jump here and there, but they don’t [...]

Watch These Animals Riding Bikes — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:00:18 +0000

[onescreen item="5063815"] Learning to ride a bike is a challenge every kid must overcome at some point. But at least that bike was designed for a human being. Imagine if that bike had been designed for a bear, or a dog, or a monkey—how much harder would it be then? Think about that as you [...]

Watch These Otters Floating on Their Backs and Doing Stuff — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 08:00:47 +0000

[onescreen item="5063159"] Animals have a way of looking so darn peaceful at times, and none can do it better than an otter floating along the river on his back. And when they’re not just relaxing out there, these otters are eating clams off their otter bellies, grooming their otter heads, or holding hands with their [...]

Watch These People Who Are Terrified of Lobsters — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:00:10 +0000

[onescreen item="4997308"] Lobsters have giant claws and a nasty temperament, but they’re also DELICIOUS. The delectable crustaceans do have a rather scary appearance, at least when they aren’t fully cooked, bright red and sitting on your plate next to a shell cracker and a tub of melted butter. This makes them a delightful prop with [...]

Watch These People Doing Trampolines Wrong — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 08:00:41 +0000

[onescreen item="5061324"] Seems like every kid has a backyard trampoline these days, which is great news for trampoline bloopers. It would be a really bad business idea to start a trampoline insurance company. On the other hand, starting a “How to Use a Trampoline Without Hurting Yourself” series of courses could be a million-dollar idea. [...]

Watch These Dogs Who Really Don't Like Lemons — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:00:00 +0000

[onescreen item="5061008"] Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really). A lemon, of course, is FOOD, so dogs want to eat it right now. But lemons also taste really sour, which most dogs really don’t like. But then again, it’s FOOD! Argh! Dog brains were not built to solve dilemmas like [...]

Watch These People Falling Off Horses — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:00:48 +0000

[onescreen item="5022834"] Ever been horseback riding? It can be a lot of fun, but there’s one obvious peril: you will fall off the horse. Fortunately none of the people (or horses) in these clips got hurt, so we can watch their mishaps guilt-free. It’s hard to tell if the horse just didn’t like the particular [...]

Monkeys Stealing Things — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 09:00:25 +0000

Monkeys! *shakes fist*

Yes, they can be awfully cute at times, like when they groom each other or wear people clothes and shop at Ikea. But they can also be quite larcenous, and we have tons of proof.

A Military-Homecoming Montage to Raise Your Spirits — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:00:08 +0000

[onescreen item="4991338"] It’s one of the most heartwarming, sob-inducing sights you’ll see on the Internet: the soldier returning home from overseas, surprising his or her child. It never gets old, one of the genuine feel-good moments the Internet lets us see. So we thought we’d collect a few of our favorites. This clip collection could [...]

When Puppies Attack — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:00:54 +0000

[onescreen item="4988578"] They are truly the stuff of nightmares. Adorable, licky, stubby-legged nightmares. We’re talking about puppy attacks, of course. If you’ve ever suffered the wrath of a pack of wild, crazed, baby dogs who just want to chase you down to lick your face and then promptly take a nap on your chest with [...]

'Milking' Is a Thing People Do on the Internet — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:00:20 +0000

Planking and Tebowing have come and gone, but 2012 introduced us to a third Web trend: milking. Milking requires a person to dump a large amount of milk on his or her head. That's pretty much it.

Highlights From That Terrifying Elevator Prank — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:00:42 +0000

[onescreen item="4988719"] The idea of getting stuck in an elevator when the power goes out is bad enough. But one Brazilian TV show decided to add a second, extremely frightening element, and they filmed it all for our viewing pleasure. We’re not quite sure how we’d react if this occurred while we were inside a [...]
