Daily Distraction — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:00:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5073572"] Sure, being a baby duck means that you’re undeniably adorable, but that doesn’t make life any easier. You’re expected to do lots of things that most species can’t accomplish when they’re just a few days old. For example, when we adult humans encounter a curb, it isn’t too intimidating. But to a duckling, [...]

Daily Distraction — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:00:00 +0000

[onescreen item="5061008"] Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really). A lemon, of course, is FOOD, so dogs want to eat it right now. But lemons also taste really sour, which most dogs really don’t like. But then again, it’s FOOD! Argh! Dog brains were not built to solve dilemmas like [...]

Daily Distraction — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:00:35 +0000

[onescreen item="5059243"] We recently pointed out how our feline friends sometimes have issues with confusing human inventions, but perhaps we shouldn’t laugh.

Usually it’s a result of lack of concentration, temporarily forgetting to pay close attention to our surroundings. [...]

Kathy Landin — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:50:24 +0000

You’ll have to take a trip in our Way Back Machine for this one, but we seem to have stumbled upon what appears to be the murder of one ’80s music icon by another ’80s music icon. It’s pretty grisly … and pretty hilarious. Al Yankovic has spent decades cashing in on parodies of popular [...]

Scott Adsit as Pete Hornberger on '30 Rock' + Sam the Eagle – Celebrity Doppelgangers

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 10:20:05 +0000

Scott Adsit used to play Pete Hornberger, the executive producer of the fictional 'TGS' on Tina Fey's '30 Rock' before it sadly went off the air, but that doesn't mean we don't watch the reruns on FOX every night and laugh at lines we've heard a million times.

One such line put a thought in our heads that Pete did look an awful lot like a bald eagle. Not just any bald eagle, but the constantly grumpy looking and often serious Sam the Eagle from the Muppets.

BOOM! 5 Exploding Animals Bombs Throughout History

Dan Seitz — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:00:44 +0000

No no, this is an animal photobomb, not a a regular animal bomb. It’s still one of the best things that we’ve ever seen, but it’s not what we came here to talk about. For as long as there has been humanity there has been war, and as long as there has been war, some jerk has [...]

[onescreen item="5033972"] Being flower girl can be tough. You have a very important job, everyone’s looking at you, and you’re probably only a few years old.

The Miami Heat won their 27th straight game on Monday night, 108-94 over the Orlando Magic. However it's not the game that is sticking in our minds, it's LeBron's very funny videobome of Ray Allen's post game interview.

LeBron had 27 points, 11 assists and one very awesome moment of comedic genius. There's a reason

[onescreen item="5031866"] Cats vs. mirrors: the battle rages on. We suppose it could be confusing, but a lot of these cats are grown-up cats—by now you’d think they’d recognize that other cat who keeps doing the making the exact same movements they’re making. As for the kittens, it’s just a part of growing up. Cherish [...]

[onescreen item="5029987"] We don’t know what’s gotten into these guys. Maybe some of them just aren’t cut out for life on the farm. And it’s not just pigs, who have a well-earned reputation for being rather unmannerly. Goats, horses, chickens, you name it—being polite gets tossed right out the window when there’s a bag of [...]
