Funny List - "10 Unusual Scholarships for 2010"
Mental Floss' "10 Unusual Scholarships for 2010" list is pretty incredible... who knew college kids could get rewarded for talking about meat. Or for being TALL?!
I thought we were in a recession? I guess no one told the people running these truly bizarre scholarships.

Funny Video - "Poochinski" Trailer
Peter Boyle, the late, great actor who had classic roles in Taxi Driver, Young Frankenstein and as Ray Romano's sitcom father on Everybody Loves Raymond, had an unlucky patch in the 1990s when he had to take a role on a failed ABC sitcom called Poochinski. And thanks to some guy on YouTube, you can watch a trailer for the terrible, horrible show.
While the concept of a talking bulldog joining the police force is adorable when you think about it, in execution, it's pretty damned creepy.

Salon.com's Best Viral Videos of the Decade
Check out this interesting list of the the best viral videos of the decade from Salon.com. Since Salon.com is a news website and doesn't focus on humor, their top pick wouldn't jive on this site, though the "Yes We Can" video is certainly one of the best pieces of video content to ever be created for the Internet.
You might recognize several of the humorous viral video choices as they appeared on my Top 20 Viral Videos of All Time list. Consensus! Yay!
But guys, no Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama video? Oversight of the, uh, decade!

10 New Year's Resolutions All Men Should Make
AskMen.com compiled a pretty great list of the 10 New Year's Resolutions All Men Should Make. Some of them are earnest (like "make an appointment for a checkup" and "help someone else") but some are really fun, funny suggestions.
My favorite is resolution #10 -- Build a shelf. It's my favorite, of course, because there's no way I'm building a shelf next year. Yeah right, Ask Men!
Check out the whole list here.

Christmas Lights Hero
Here's a recipe for creating a viral video monster smash hit... Add two tablespoons of "Guitar Hero" with two tablespoons of amazing Christmas Lights footage and a dash of "cute kid." And... PRESTO! You've got Christmas Lights Hero.
YouTube user Kumbaric rigged his Christmas Lights to a Nintendo Wii and popped in a copy of Guitar Hero and the results are simply incredible. This is the Christmas lights video of the year, by a longshot. For more Christmas lights videos check out my article "5 Insane Christmas Lights Videos" now!

Dirty Christmas Song Alert! Jingle These Balls
What's Christmastime without an innapropriate theme song? A frew years back the Internet was gushing about Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's "D*ck in A Box." Good times were had by all.
Right now, there's no undisputed champion of the dirty Christmas song, but I'd like to suggest one that SHOULD be 2009's Yuletide theme song -- The Nasty Midnighters' "Jingle These Balls."
The 3 minute-long dirty Christmas, sex-rap tour-de-force is very, very dirty so keep the kids away. So send the tots next door, crank up your computer speakers and let the Nasty Midnighters serenade you until you're weak in the knees.
