> [@KarlGauss](#): > > [Strange dog](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCdRb8DUy0Y). Very, very strange (but funny! :D) That very strange dog won $100,000 (after winning $10,000) on _America’s Funniest Home Videos_ as the best clip of the season. I don’t have anything to add that hasn’t already been mentioned…but I will say **Patch** ’s linked LIteral Safety Dance had me laughing the hardest so far. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > Greatest bit ever. Really. You kids need to study it in college because every pause is perfectly timed and built upon the next, and my interest in the nxt generation of. The delivery is all that matters, and Tim Conway is a god. Perhaps it is because they had to work with relatively innocuous material, considering their audience, they refined their technique so well that it overcame the lack of shock value in their humor. And of course the obverse is true, a lot of edgy comedians use the shock value as a crutch, with practically no technique. ---

This is the funniest YT video I’ve seen in a long time: [ADAM BUXTON READS OUT YOU TUBE COMMENTS FOR ‘APPLE MAC MUSIC VIDEO’](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx-WBaSNrTQ&feature=player_embedded) It’s a bit meta and you do really need to watch the video cited (which is great in itself), but the payoff is fucking hilarious. ---

[Maru - experiment with odd sized boxes](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XID_W4neJo&feature=related). As background, in case you don’t know, Maru is a cat, living in Japan, who has an absolute mania for climbing in boxes. There are many cute and funny videos of Maru, but this one is my favorite. His owners present him with various boxes, including very small, very shallow, and very narrow, to see what he’ll do. ---
