We've got everything this week: music, sports, science and randomness galore.
And remember folks, pay it forward -- share your favorite vids in the comments. Happy Friday!
Very Mary-Kate, "Zac Efron"
Brenna Ehrlich: A friend recently told me about this hilarious web show, which basically mocks Mary-Kate Olsen. While I couldn't care less about the Olsen twins, I have to say -- this series is pretty freaking funny. Check out this episode, in which Zac Efron calls Mary-Kate "a goblin wrapped in a bedsheet."
(Thanks to @LeahKonen for this truly bountiful gift.)
Simpsons, "Kesha Tik-Tok"
Adam Hirsch: It’s about time someone made an awesome music video.
Symphony of Science - "The Unbroken Thread" (ft. Attenborough, Goodall, Sagan)
Barb Dybwad: Disclaimer: This video is NOT NEW! But it was new to me this week to discover that the dude who made the amazing "A Glorious Dawn" video remix of Carl Sagan has a whole project of auto-tuned science videos. You can watch them all and snag free downloads here.
Paul Dateh: Top 40 violin mashup
Tamar Weinberg: This guy cloned himself successfully. Wow.
Little girl Dunks Thru Her Legs
Adam Ostrow: In this video, a little girl emulates the iconic Michael Jordan brand image as well as the between-the-legs dunk that has become a staple of the Slam Dunk Contest. I'm almost as excited as the two guys who helped her orchestrate it.
President Obama Jokes About Jay Leno's Ratings
Lauren Indvik: Who knew President Obama could be so delectably vicious? In all seriousness, though, it's refreshing to see a political figure who takes a risk with humor.
I Film Myself Catching Andrew McCutchen's 16th Career Home Run
Jenn Van Grove: I've never had the chance to catch a home run (despite being a big Padres fan), so the fact that this guy not only caught the home run ball but was able to film the whole thing just boggles my mind. What are the odds?
