Website of flash badass and cool artist Zefrank. There's a lot of cool stuff here. The educational videos are hilarious, especially the dancing ones and Impress Your Date. Also check out the interactive toys. They aren't so much funny as technically amazing.

Cars - New Teaser
At first I heard there was going to be a movie about talking cars, and I couldn't help but think "LAME!" Now, though, as more visuals from the movie come out, I can't help but be impressed by the look of this film. Maybe I'll give it a chance.

Spin
Short produced by Double Edge Films. Seems that these days God sends his angels to earth in DJ form. A cool element of this one is how small events trigger chain reactions that lead to accidental deaths and maimings. Thoughtfully provided by Nate.

C'etait un Rendezvous
What do you get when a filmmaker has his race car driver buddy strap a gyro-stabilized camera to the front of his Ferrari and tearass through the streets of 1976 Paris? An amazing video, is what you get. This clip features chills, thrills, and notable Paris landmarks, not to mention an amazing sense of speed. They didn't block off any streets or warn any people or anything, and the first time the filmmaker showed the film in public he was arrested. The actual driver is unknown to this day. Thanks Nate, for the tipoff.

Happy Thanksgiving, from YT.
Yours Truly made a short cycled animation earlier this week as a tribute to the love between a certain dog and its favorite stuffed rabbit. Inspired by YTMND, it was combined with one of the most rocking songs of all time to create a one-of-a-kind Thankgiving greeting (although you have to watch to the very end to see any mention of Thanksgiving). So today you can give thanks, for an extra link.
Let them sing it for you.
Enter text into this site, and the app will find songs that have the words you specified and string them together into one clip, so that you will hear your entry composed of singing sound bytes. Pretty cool. There are still some words it doesn't have, but it works pretty well.

You're the man now, dog.
Amazing site, based on http://yourethemannowdog.com. A ytmnd consists of any image, which may be tiled or animated, and a looping sound file. Simple concept, but hilarity results. Check out http://ualuealuealeuale.ytmnd.com/, a personal favorite. Thanks again to Dave.

Stick Figure Death Theater
A variety of flash cartoons featuring stick figures and ultra-simple characters getting maimed, being killed, swearing and acting vulgar. I haven't seen it all, but so far some of the stuff is really funny. And some of it ain't. Thanks to Dave for this.

This is a weird site. It's not in english, but I'm still entertained clicking around it. Check it out, there's weird little 3D characters and stuff. Warning...big files and long loads may be in your future.

VG Museum
Video Game Museum. The really cool place on this site is the Sprite Rip section, which features sprites ripped from old Video Games, in animated GIF form. I love animated GIFs. Follow the links at the lower end of the right menu bar, or just click on one of these:

Flash Mind Reader
This flash app will read your mind. Sort of. Very intriguing at first, but then you can probably tell how it's done. This is really more of an "are you smarter than will" test. It took me about 40 seconds to figure out how they did it. Can you beat my time? Thanks to Reuben for the heads up on this one.

Road Waffles
Web comic from a few years ago by artist "8," which is very funny. I just found out there have been more installments and I haven't been reading them. I'll fix that immediately.

The Awakening of Consciousness
Short film made by two spanish guys with decent animation and decent jokes. It's a send up of kung-fu movies, fighting games, and anime. Worth a look, to be sure.

The Fingerboarder
Project of Carlos Baena, Pixar animator and general badass. I didn't know fingerboarding was really something that could be done this well, but his movie has showed me wrong.

Infected with Martin Sargent
The former late night host of Tech TV's Unscrewed is back, and, it's nice to see, still really funny. The new form he has taken is that of a podcast called Infected. They talk about tech news and weird stuff, and a highlight of the episode is the commercials they do for their sponsor, The Olive Garden.

Channel Frederator
Cartoons. Free cartoons. Available for download in an ipod friendly format. (that last part would be even more awesome if I wasn't too poor to have an ipod). Oh well, quicktime will have to do. Even more awesome, they support independent artists, using this podcast as a way to showcase the works of individuals.

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny
Official site for the forthcoming Tenacious D movie. If you're very religious, you might want to stay away, however. Satan seems to be heavily involved in the movie, going so far as to executive produce. There are a couple of fun clips on here right now with, I can only hope, more to come soon. Long live the D.

Vin Diesel Fact Generator
Amazing site generates 100% factual information about Vin Diesel. "Vin Diesel doesn't waste time with Ironing boards; he simply throws on a wrinkled shirt and rubs the scalding hot iron all over his chest." What a hardass!

Sidewalk Chalk Guy
This guy makes badass sidewalk art that looks 3d if you view it from a certain angle. Pretty freakin' cool. Thanks, Dave, for the link.

Smurf Town under fire
This is a unicef ad running on Belgian television to illustrate the horrors of war. War, already helacious, has even reached the smurfs. Poor little blue guys. Thanks to Reuben for the tip off on this.

Eat Hufu
This page advertises and sells a product that claims to be the tofu-based equivilent of Human Flesh. Just think of how tofu-pups put that delicious bean curd in the place of the assorted pig odds and ends that usually make up hotdogs. It's like that, but with people. Thanks to Zensho for the link.

Squidbillies - Floor It
Game featuring the Squidbillies, straight from their new show during the sunday night adult swim time block on cartoon network. It's a fun game, no matter if you're into the show or not. The things that characters say ruined my first few games by making me laugh to hard to be able to control the game properly.
