Singing UPS Guy Is Modern Day Santa
Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break...
See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany
Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos e
Redditor Parent Makes Hilarious Family Christmas Cards
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.
Girl Puts Cat on Treadmill, Doesn’t End in Tragedy
You might want to watch a video of a cat on a treadmill for the moment when it goes flying off and hits a door hard enough to make a sound but not hard enough to injure the cat. This is not that video. This is a video of a cat that does a pretty good job of running on a treadmill...
Video of Man Who Maybe Won Powerball Jackpot Surfaces
We'll probably never be this excited, even if Ben & Jerry's comes out with that Jeff Goldblum-themed ice cream we've been dreaming of. This is video of a man who is just realizing he won the massive $587.5 million dollar Powerball Jackpot. Apparently he went around showing everybody because he actually couldn't believe his eyes. The ticket was bought in Arizona, but the video taken is from Mar
Redditor Sells Wii U for Zero Profit, Saves Kid’s Christmas
Oh good! It may as well be December, which means we can cue the Christmas warm and fuzzies. Even though some people think of Reddit as a bastion of misogyny and smut, this story made the front page, and it's totally heartwarming and wholesome. It's about one Redditor with a heart of gold who saved Christmas for another Redditor's son.
This House Has Serious Christmas ‘Gangnam Style’
John Storm is a lucky man. Most people who move into a new neighborhood and promptly set up an insane Christmas light show set to 'Gangnam Style' would not be very popular. His neighbors, however, think it's kind of impressive to meet a real-life Clark Griswold. We think it's kind of impressive that his hobby requires him to use a dongle. That's sincerely Gangnam Style.
First Dog Bo Obama Makes a Great Christmas Tree Inspector
You can love the president or hate him, but you've got to admit this is one cute First Dog. Here's Bo Obama being a very good dog and not knocking over any of the one zillion Christmas trees in the White House as he "inspects" the decorations before it opens to the public and 90,000 people stroll through...
The Best 2012 Black Friday Deals for Internet Nerds
It's time to officially start panicking that you haven't done any Christmas shopping yet. Sure you have something in mind for mom and dad. But what about for your internet-obsessed brother or your boyfriend who spends more time on Reddit than he does at work? Where are the 2012 Black Friday deals for them?
Here are seven gifts you can give to any lover of memes, internet culture, or just being as
Was Diane Sawyer Drunk on Election Night?
Ever since the election on Tuesday, people have been speculating that Diane Sawyer was maybe at least a *little* bit tipsy while she was working.
Meet ‘Grumpy Cat,’ the Web’s Unhappiest Kitty
You guys, Grumpy Cat is definitely real. And she plays. Sort of. When Grumpy Cat "plays" she mostly just scowls at the camera and then hides under things, but still. Grumpy Cat became an internet sensation pretty much as soon as people saw her grumpy face on Reddit. Here's some video and some excellent memes 'Tard' (short for Tartar Sauce) the cat has inspired.
