Some street buskers gathered a crowd of New Yorkers to join them in “Hey Jude.” I love it when things like this happen!

Pretty much the greatest web video of all time, Adventure Time has been picked up as a series by Cartoon Network! All I can say is….Algebraic!!! Adventure Time starts in April, and here’s the trailer for the new bizarro surrealist kids’ show:
But who can forget about the original?? I have high hopes for the series, but there is no way this will ever, ever be topped:

One of the best songs of last year (if not THE best) was Lisztomania by Phoenix. The song inspired a bunch of fun music videos of people dancing and being really, really happy…starting with a mashup of the John Hughes brat pack, and then spreading to hipsters in Brooklyn and San Francisco. I know these videos are a little bit old now, but they are all awesome and really will lift your spirits.
ALSO…The PS22 chorus did a totally tubular cover of Lisztomania which you have got to check out:

At the Oscars last night, “Logorama” won the award for best Animated Short. It was far and away the worst of the five nominees and absolutely did not deserve the award. (You probably saw Logorama when it went viral a few months ago…it was a big thing on the Internets.) Anyway, this is “The Lady and the Reaper,” my favorite in this category and much more deserving than the winner.

I want this pool table to display the pool game currently in play. That way, I’d be playing a game of pool on top of people playing a game of pool.

I recommend watching the whole video, but if you can’t wait for that sweet, sweet marble action, skip to 7:55.

A few weeks ago, the web comic Axe Cop blew up on the Internet…and now it is video form! This comic is written by a 5 year old and illustrated by his 29 year old brother, and it’s pretty much the greatest thing ever. I’m so pumped that they are now turning them into video versions! Kids this young don’t know anything about story archs or genre conventions, so it’s basically everything that this 5 year old thinks is cool, back-to-back-to-back in action packed axe-filled adventures. Yes, please.
Also, check out the trailer for a (possibly) upcoming movie:
And here’s a video on the Axe Cop Writing process, where you can meet the 5 year old genius behind it all, Ethan:

EveryDay Looper is a sweet iPhone app that lets you record multiple tracks and loop them on the fly. Here’s an awesome performance by some French dude using the app.

OK Go does it again! This time, they set up one of the most extravagant Rube Goldberg devices in history, which you have to see to believe.
This is the epic follow-up to their other viral music video hits (Everyone remembers OK Go, on Treadmills…and this is actually second video for this very song — the first, marching band one was posted on YouTube a few months ago. EMI Music has inexplicably disabled embedding on both of these videos, which makes no sense; it’s as if they don’t want the videos to go viral, or for people to actually see them, and, you know, buy the album. But I digress.) Enjoy!

“For our latest mission, 30 people throw a birthday party for a random stranger in a bar. The mission was filmed with cameras hidden behind two way mirrors, and the audio comes from hidden wireless microphones (both on our agents and hidden around the bar.) Watch the video first, and then check out our behind-the-scenes report.”
Amazing prank, and one of Improv Everywhere’s best! I had heard about the original “Ted’s Birthday” years ago, and I’m glad that they redid it with cameras this time.
