What's the best part of the Kentucky Derby? The hats? The horse racing? The glasses filled with cold, cold whiskey? We couldn't decide, so we put some hats on some horses to help us figure it out. It didn't help. We'll make up our mind tomorrow when the race is over.
The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.
We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.
This is the kind of prank we like. Nobody gets hurt, and it didn't happen to us.
Here's a handy list of stuff from the 90s, in this video from musical sketch comedy group Pop Roulette. Dunkaroos, pogs, 'Dawson's Creek' -- it's all there. (Really it's about one 'Pete & Pete' reference away from being the Buzzfeed handbook.) A
Easter is coming! Usually we aren't very excited about this holiday, because ham is an everyday part of life the way we roll. However, these hand-painted eggs have us excited for the holiday we haven't celebrated since 2009.
If you're tired of dunking some eggs in vinegar-scented food coloring water, check these out for some inspiration. Or, you know, just because they're awesome.
It's Easter weekend, and we all know what that means -- time to eat some ham and get your crunk on. We've always said if you aren't risking an insulin coma, you aren't really drinking, so here are some Peeps-themed cocktails to prove you love Easter but hate your body. Enjoy (to a point, then feel really sick a
If you haven't seen this before, now is the time to watch it. It's a piece of video art by Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug as part of a preschool art project called "Big Art for Little People."
YouTuber RRyanLewis, whose favorite pastime seems to be dressing up as a plant and scaring people, is at it again. Here is his newest installment of the "Bushman" pranks.
Jack Nicholson seemed even more confused than usual when he got caught off-guard on-camera at the Oscars on Sunday night. Plenty of 'Weekend at Bernie's' jokes abounded on the web. A GIF was spawned. But perhaps nothing captured the senior moment better than this picture made by twitter user Samir Mezrahi. Observe brilliance in its pure form:
If there's one thing to be learned from this Oscar season, it's that everybody loves Jennifer Lawrence. Her down-to-Earth attitude and wacky sense of humor easily make her our most GIF-ready star. So h
Zombies. Man-killing space aliens. Killer clowns. It's okay if these are the first things that run through your mind when you watch this insane footage of a meteor landing in Russia. The meteor crashed into a building, and destroyed it
