Woman terrifed of lifesized snowman

We can't decide -- is this funny or just plain cruel?

This woman, appearing on the U.K. show My Extreme Phobia, can't handle seeing a snowman only steps away from her. She breaks down in tears as the curtains are pulled back to reveal Frosty.

But who can blame her? That human-shaped snowman is really tall and looking right at her. If only it would come to life and sing a song to take away some of the terror it's inflicting.

Epic eaters get happy

The online series Epic Meal Time is by now so familiar — garnering millions of views for every demonstration of high-calorie consumption — that the show’s stars are apparently comfortable with self-parody. Their latest hit has them recast their own roles with child actors for Happy Meal Time.

The wee fill-ins do their best to ape the culinary antics of the original cast of Montrealers, led by the blunt and bearded Harley Morenstein. His younger alter ego and his crew order dozens of Happy Meals and then jazzes them up with typically fatty additions like bacon strips (“While you slippin’, we bacon flippin’,” says one pint-size gourmand), butter and meat from McRibs, creating a sandwich that’s all the more epic considering the size of its makers. They tuck in anyway. No dessert for these kids.

 

Drunk History Christmas

The Funnyordie.com folks have done it again, using its Drunk History series to offer a delectable take on ''Twas the Night Before Christmas.

The basic premise of this series is to get an inebriated person to offer his or her take on a historical event, or in this case, the classic holiday tale. What makes it gold is that whatever is being described is acted out, often by very well-known actors. In this case, Canadians Ryan Gosling and Jim Carrey along with Eva Mendes join in on the warped fun.

Warning: There is some salty language.

Angry Birds rescue Christmas

The nasty pigs are trying to ruin Christmas. But the Angry Birds will save the day.

Running on two computers and 10 Light-o-rama 16 channel controllers, this front-yard version of the popular video game uses more than 20,000 lights and less than one cent of electricity per game.

Audio is broadcast on 99.1FM, and the controller has a long enough cord for people to play in their cars on the street.

The YouTube clip of the Angry Birds house has been viewed more than 60,000 times (and counting). The light display was created by Ric Turner, a former Disney employee who also turned his house into a playable Guitar Hero Christmas game in 2009.

 

Jedi ninjas battle it out with lightsabers

 

A lightsaber battle between two teams of stealthy martial artists? Must be the Jedi Ninjas who take over an abandoned warehouse (or maybe it's really a playground?) for a fight to the finish.

Developed by martial artists Team 2X, the Jedi Ninjas video tries to recreate Star Wars video games in live action. The result is a slick video with a funny ending. 

S*** Girls Say, Episode 2

The Toronto-shot viral video sensation is back with its second instalment, which pokes more fun at the utterances of women. Graydon Sheppard and Kyle Humphrey are the two guys behind S*** Girls Say and following up their first video, here's Part 2

It is more of the same from Graydon Sheppard and Kyle Humphrey, the two guys behind S*** Girls Say, but it still has some good moments including "that poor dog needs water,"  which is director and star Sheppard's favourite thing girls say.
