If you think you’ve seen all the wackiness possible on YouTube, brace yourself. All I can say is a certain Thorn2200 has created stop motion animation with Legos that enact the jokes of comedian Eddie Izzard.

So, for those of you who are freezing in the colder parts of the globe this winter, this is definitely the nerdy comedy to keep your spirits up. Behold, the animation of Eddie Izzard’s ‘death star canteen’:

No matter where you learned about “the birds and the bees”, there may be things you don’t know about your reproductive rights here in America. For example, did you know that insurance companies in about half of our states aren’t required to cover the cost of birth control? Yeah, it’s true.

NARAL Pro-Choice just released this funny video as part of their free.will.power. initiative. Take a look, some of the facts may shock you.

From the YouTube description:

“Hey there Bret, I see you’re looking down…” This video from New Zealand comedy duo Flight of the Conchords (Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement) cheers me up every time.

And if you haven’t seen Jemaine Clement in the hipster’s-wet-dream that is Eagle vs. Shark, you absolutely must. Full trailer here:

As an enthusiastic fan of the McGlaughlin Group, I can’t help but find this clip charming and amusing. According to the YouTube description, public radio’s Faith Salie asked rock star Andrew WK to put the McLaughlin Group to music; and these are the results!

Unsuccessful Job Application Video by Orange Raisin (otherwise known as Michael A. Charles), is a hilarious poke at the arts industry and the people who want to be a part of it.
