I recently came to the conclusion that I have a legitimate addiction to YouTube.com.
Seriously, that Web site is so unbelievably entertaining in almost every regard. It seems like every time I go on there I find something new that either makes me laugh or gasp in disbelief.
Today, I decided I wanted to share with you some of my favorite YouTube videos. Some are cute, some are stupid and some are just flat out weird, but I can promise you that they are all entertaining one way or another.
First, let's start off with Power thirst. Simply type in "Power thirst" while on YouTube, and one of the funniest spoofs of energy drinks ever created will pop up as the first option. After watching it, be sure to watch the sequel, "Power thirst 2: Re-domination." It's just as funny, if not more so, than the original, and it contains so many quotable lines that after watching it I can guarantee it will become a part of your everyday lingo.
Next, how about a classic fight between Picard and Chunk from The Goonies? Just type in "Picard vs. Chunk" and you'll see the greatest 20 seconds of your life that contains guns and jiggling fat.
Just in case you somehow missed it, type in "Star Wars Kid" and the first video that shows up will show a kid who not only truly loves Star Wars, but he also thinks he is a future Jedi.
You probably know Will Arnett from things such as "Arrested Development" and "Blades of Glory," but you probably have never seen the "Will Arnett Sex Tape." No, it's not a real sex tape, but type it in and you will see one of the funniest skits ever written.
Keep in mind that this video takes both its language and innuendos to pretty great extremes, so if you are not really interested in crude humor, this video probably is not for you.
You might, however, be interested in either the "Dramatic Chipmunk" or the "Dramatic Lemur." Just punch either of those into YouTube's search engine and you'll see animals at their finest … and, well, most dramatic.
