Two English Bulldog Puppies Take Their First Steps And You Own Them Now

Here’s a video of two very tiny English bulldog puppies taking their first steps and squeaking constantly in the process.

When you watch this video, you will find it adorable, then black out and enter a trance, then wake up the following morning on your bathroom floor with two bulldog puppies licking your face and you’ll be like “Did I just steal two English bulldog puppies while I was on some sort of out-of-body cuteness bender?” and you’ll start to feel guilty then one of the puppies will fall over slightly and make a squeak-toy noise and you’ll laugh and immediately forgive yourself.

Just, don’t say you weren’t warned:

Three ‘Flying People’ Fly Around New York City Very Awesomely

“Whoa, check out those three people flying around New York City!”

“Yup. Dat’s New Yawk for ya, kid. People’s be flyin’ sometimes, ya know?”

“Ahh, actually they’re large model planes shaped like humans, but what an awesome illusion! Check that out!”

“I done seena lotta flyin’ people in dis town in mys lifes, kid, but’cher all right – don’t fuggedaboutit!!! Cold enough for ya?”

Not sure where that exchange was going, but seriously, check out this video of three ‘people’ flying through the skies New York City. It’s so impressive, people in New York actually take the time to look up and be impressed by it:

Given New York City’s sensitive airspace, I’m shocked that the people shooting this weren’t immediately shut down and tazed five seconds into this video. Or maybe they just cut that part out. Either way, cool thing, people!

Teen Can Say Any Word Backwards Instantly And It’s SUOLUCIDIR

Here’s a teen in Oklahoma with the odd but incredible talent to hear any word and repeat that word backwards within three seconds. The video is literally just three minutes of her friends throwing out random words and her saying them backwards, but it is strangely and completely transfixing. Or should I say…whatever ‘transfixing’ is backwards, I’m not making the effort to type it.

If I’m ever trapped in a situation where I absolutely need to know what some words are backwards and I have a very limited time to do so, this is the person I want by my side, and I MEAN that:

I’m very glad that, like, a Nike logo didn’t pop up at the end of this and it didn’t turn out to be some BS viral marketing thing. New Nike BACKWARDS shoes – TI OD TSUJ!!! (LeBron James pulls a basketball back through a hoop then lands and runs away backwards).

LOL & ORDER: Kid Humming Law & Order Theme Is Legally The Best

Here’s an adorably committed kid humming the Law & Order theme song while accompanying himself by banging a washing machine. It is, without a doubt, the best musical performance I’ve seen so far in 2012.

It’s like a young Michael Winslow meets a young Stomp meets a regular-age Law & Order. Is it too early to crown a Song Of The Summer? Cause I just enscribed that crown then set it on that washing machine.

Law & Order, meet LOL & AWESOME:

Between this video and John Mulaney’s SVU standup bit on Conan, it’s been an exciting 24 hours for Law & Order themed things. Not to mention the 56 hours of actual Law & Order that aired during that timespan.

“Otters Chasing A Butterfly” Is The Best Short Film Of 2012

Here’s a video of a group of otters chasing a butterfly with adorable, otter determination. It is both an entertaining spectacle set to wacky piano music and a symbolic meditation on our constant struggle to reach that life goal that’s forever just beyond our collective grasp. But it’s mostly the first thing.

Oh otters – you’re even cute when clearly trying to murder another cute thing:

SUPERGOOD: The 11 Best Supercuts Of 2011

In 2011, Internet Supercuts became even more specific, more thorough, more exhausting, more ridiculous, and more amusing than ever before (besides maybe the 1930s, but we have no way of confirming this).

Here, to honor this ongoing trend of editors spending more and more hours painstakingly working to amuse us for two minutes, is our list of The 11 Most Super Supercuts of 2011.

We were originally gonna cut all of these Supercuts into one giant Supercut Supercut, but we figured we’d spare your brain the pre-holiday melting. Enjoy!

11. “It’s The 90s”

Obviously someone made a Supercut of characters saying “It’s the 90s.” It’s the 10s.

10. 80 Titular Lines In 2 Minutes

This video truly is…one of The 11 Best Supercuts Of 2011.

Meet Lola, The Dog Who Literally Says “Oh No!”

Here’s one of the trippier videos we’ve seen in a while – it’s only six seconds long, but when it’s over, you’re gonna be replaying it again to make sure you heard what you just think you heard. Then you’re going to play it five more times, begin to question the reality of everything around you, crawl back into bed, and sleep until 2014.

I’ve been wanting a dog version of the Bill Hader Dateline Host for a really long time now. AND YOU ALL THOUGHT I WAS NUTS:

Mall Santa Gets His Beard Stuck In A Rope, Ends Hundreds Of Childhoods

Here’s a video of maybe the real Santa Claus rappelling down a rope towards his mall-throne at the Palm Beach Gardens Mall in Florida. SPOILER: He has some complications with the rope and his beard, and faces the dilemma of whether or not to sacrifice his own personal safety so as not to shatter the Santa Claus illusion for the large group of kids watching him. He decides very quickly, and it is funny.

Related question: Why is Santa rappelling down a rope? Is that a thing Santa does? Well, apparently not:

Long Before The Puppy Bowl, There Was Doggie Disco

Who here likes dogs? Lemmie count the hands…that’s all of you except the cats and cartoon mailmen who’re reading this. Great! Follow-up question: Who here likes old weird videos of dogs kind-of-dancing to like, theremin music? All of you INCLUDING the caroon mailmen? Even better!

Here’s a video from God knows where or when or how called “Dog Disco”, where a bunch of dogs don’t really dance and it doesn’t look or sound like a disco but who’s counting? It’s dogs. Watch it:

Piers Morgan Calls Patrice O’Neal A “She” During Obviously Heartfelt Tribute

Here’s Piers Morgan on his show last night paying tribute to the late Patrice O’Neal, saying “Let’s take a quick look at Patrice on Jimmy Fallon, remind everyone just how funny she was” (sic).

As someone who constantly spills unchecked content out into the ether myself, part of me sympathizes a bit with Piers, cause I’ve often said some very, very stupid things on this blog that I was quickly and correctly made fun of for. However, as just a person, a much bigger part of me thinks HAHAHAHA LOOK AT THIS WRONG GUY:

At least Google someone for one second before you pretend to eulogize them! Get your facts straight, Piers! I would’ve expected better from a 79-year-old Australian who was in Drive.
