Fave Five Friday – 3.20.2015

Sorry there was no Fave Five Friday last week. We had some personal issues to deal with. More info on that coming later. We now return you to your regularly scheduled (hopefully) Fave Five Friday videos!

Pixels – Official Trailer

This summer, it’s game on or game over! When aliens misinterpret video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth in the form of the video games. I’ve been training for this moment my whole life!

Misconceptions about Allergies

It’s that time of year again… allergy season! Spring means flowers are blooming and blooming flowers mean yellow pollen on everything and runny noses and scratchy throats. Yech.There are several misconceptions about allergies that you may not have realized.

Super Hero Soccer

I’ll be honest, We don’t watch lots of sports. However, if they started using pop culture icons instead of regular athletes, I’d tune in a lot more!

How to Become Gluten Intolerant

Being gluten free used to be a luxury only reserved for those who are intolerant to gluten. With this cutting edge gluten educational video, you can become gluten intolerant too, whether or not you’re actually intolerant to gluten. Before you get your gluten-free pitchforks out, this video is not meant to be poke fun of people with actual gluten allergies or intolerance, just ALL the people who think being gluten-free will cure whatever ails them at the moment.

Daylight Saving Time – How is this still a thing?

Daylight saving time doesn’t actually benefit anyone. Strangely, it’s still a thing! Why? Just to make us miserable  and  early/late for church twice a year?

Fave Five Friday – 2.27.2015

Gabriel Iglesias’ 1966 Volkswagen Samba

One of Jay’s favorite comedians brings by his beloved VW bus, a pristine version of his very first car. Gabriel is a lot less “fluffy” than he used to be!

10 Years of YouTube: Evolution of Viral Video

YouTube celebrated it’s 10th birthday this week. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 10 years! Here’s 101 of the craziest, most hilarious, biggest viral videos from those ten years (as chosen by The Daily Conversation). Such a great mix!

Sesame Street: House of Bricks

Some people say there’s too much pork in this town. Frank Underwolf could not agree more. And that is why Mr. Underwolf is on a mission to huff and puff and blow down all the little pigs’ houses. In this town, you have to know which way the wind is blowing, and unfortunately, for those little piggies, it’s about to get very windy.

Wheel of Musical Impressions with Christina Aguilera

Jimmy challenges Christina Aguilera  to a game of random musical impressions, such as Britney Spears singing “This Little Piggy.” Christina of course crushes it.

Momkhana by Famous Footwear

What happens when you take a 550 HP engine and put it in a minivan? Mom gets them to Famous Footwear for new kicks in record time and style. Be sure to watch the cool behind-the-scenes video afterwards.

Fave Five Friday – 2.20.2015

80 Facts about the ’80s

This has to be a record for Mental Floss… 80 facts in one video! I guess if you’re going to cover something as awesome as the 80’s you need to do it well.

 Star Wars vs DC Marvel Final Epic Trailer

The same guy that made that awesome Star Wars vs Star Trek trailer (which we shared last week) has struck gold again! This time with an epic trailer that features Star Wars vs Superheroes. The funny thing… Disney owns all the rights to these franchises so this could totally happen.

Ping Pong Trick Shots 2

Dude Perfect is well known for their elaborate trick shot videos. This week it appears they’ve teamed up with Wal-Mart and Pringles (’cause how else could you afford to do such an expensive video) to make another Ping Pong Trick Shots video.

Love from Land Rover

This Valentine’s Day, one Land Rover Defender fan in New Zealand got one of the coolest gifts ever. I consider myself a car guy and I love this video, but I have to admit, that up until a few years ago, I thought Land Rover and Range Rover were two different car companies. </shame>

LEGO Mini Cooper Time-Lapse

I’ve been waiting all week to share this one, but I thought I’d wait and throw it up on the Fave Five list. If haven’t guessed what it’s about by the title, just watch the video.

Tiny Hamster’s Tiny Date

Since tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day, Joy and I thought this would be a cute video to share.

MKBHD Explores Drones with Deadmau5

Man, there’s is just so much awesome in that title! MKB is Marques Brownlee, one of my favorite tech reviewers, and Deadmau5 (pronounced “Dead Mouse”) is one of my favorite techno artists. Together they teamed up to play with some hot new drones.

Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” Played by 10 Epic Famous Guitarists

Ever wanted to see what happens when Star Wars and Star Trek clash? Well in this epic trailer you will see. It is time for Star Wars VS Star Trek!

Star Wars – Crossguard on a lightsaber?!?

Ever since the Star Wars Episode 7 trailer came out last November, the internet has been abuzz with discussion about the Sith lightsaber that has a crossguard. Now that we know what the fan boys think, what would a Jedi say?

#@THEGYM

Finally, a state-of-the-art fitness facility that caters to millennials. Yes, they have WiFi. Visit them  at http://www.hashtagatthegym.com. Do you even “Like” bro?

#PrivacyProject

The biggest risk to you and your company’s privacy is your smartphone.  Some of the most popular apps on your smartphone ask for permissions that expose data to outside sources. Silent Circle asked people on the street to read some of these permissions out loud so they could capture their reactions. What is your phone telling others about you?!?

Chinese People Try Panda Express for the First Time

I was super pumped when a Panda Express opened on restaurant row here in Huntsville. It wasn’t too bad the first few times we ate there, but lately, the quality hasn’t been there. The lo-mein is kinda burnt or dried out and no matter what I eat, I usually get a tummy ache later.  But what do real Chinese people think about Panda Express?

8 Sick Remedies That Actually Work – Scientifically!

It’s still cold and flu season, and we hope everyone is staying healthy. If you have caught a bug, here’s 8 sick remedies from Asapscience that actually work. Boom, science!

Nobody Tells This To Beginners

This one really hit home for me. If you’re in a creative field or you’re a designer or architect, you’ll appreciate this video. This should be mandatory viewing for graphics students!

Lars Andersen: a new level of archery

We really should have put this on here last week. Joy and I found it on a Sunday night and within days several other people started sharing it. Even though many of our friends and family have seen it’s too awesome not to put on our Fave Five Friday list. So even though it’s supposed to be Fave Five Friday,  you’re getting six videos this week!
