Parents Have Hilarious Breakdown After Watching ‘Les Mis’
We haven't seen people this upset over a movie since those poor, poor children realized they were going to die one day after watching 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.' These two fully-grown, middle-aged humans have, in fact, "been to funerals of family members and cried less" than they did watching Anne Hathaway's descent from factory worker to toothless prostitute. All it took was sittin

Laugh Full Speed Ahead at This ‘Star Trek: TNG’ Gag Reel
If you like 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' you should watch this. If you don't like 'TNG,' you should watch this, and then stop being such a jerk.

J.J. Abrams Grants Dying ‘Star Trek’ Fan’s Wish
Anybody who thinks Reddit is just for misogyny and creepy porn is only PARTLY right. They do their fair share of good as well. The story of a man dying of cancer is one such instance. Thanks to the good people of Reddit this loyal Trekkie will get to see some, if not all, of the new 'Star Trek' movie before he dies, thanks to the one and only J.J. Abrams.

Ambitious Man Works 100 Jobs in One Year

2012’s Dumbest Criminals Are Painfully Dumb
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.

Skateboarding Santa Dog Is Here to Save Christmas
Does it seem like no matter how much cognac you put in your eggnog, you just can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit? Maybe you should try watching this video. It's significantly more cute, with and causes zero hangover. We just want to thank the random stranger in Japan who decided to dress their dog up like Santa, give him a skateboard, and then film it...

Man Proposes to Girlfriend…With MAGIC!!!
This is one heck of a magic trick. Using only his hands and the natural elements around him, Sean used his magic to change Andrea from a girlfriend into ... a fiancee!

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.

Check Out This Ridiculously Gruesome Cranberry Commercial
Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey-- there's also cranberry sauce. Those poor, poor cranberries. Here's a hilarious (NSFW) commercial parody by comedian Sam Kim about how cruel a process they must endure to become so very, very delicious...
