The blogosphere is still buzzing about Miley Cyrus’ risqué performance at MTV’s Video Music Awards, with some people taking a step back to ask a very basic question: why is MTV honoring videos, since it so rarely plays them anymore? That’s a riddle puppet newscasters Blake Worthington and Bungo, of Glove and Boots News, try to tackle in this funny video, in which they try to figure out what exactly happened to the “M” in MTV. The duo can’t hide their despair while discussing the parade of thoughtless reality shows the network now airs. Yes, the question of why MTV doesn’t play videos isn’t new, but this take is funny and pretty much on the money. Let’s just hope this trend stops soon. We don’t think we can handle a reality show about Miley opening a twerking academy.

Please enjoy (or at least stare confusedly at) this music video, “The Fox”, from the Norwegian talk show I kveld med YLVIS. It answers the question, “What would happen if you made a schmaltzy pop song with high production values then devolved into silly animal sounds?” Nobody asked the question, but they answered it anyway. Sketch group Ylvis is the brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker, who have been making surreal and funny stuff like this for the past 13 years. (Sidenote: “Bård Ylvisåker” is the Norwegianist name that’s ever Norwegianed.) Once in a while, something they make starts going viral outside Norway, like their “voice controlled elevator” pranks. This absurd video seems poised to be a crossover hit. The top YouTube comment is, “Play this at my funeral” and we’re inclined to agree.

A short film called ‘Star Drunk’ answers a question you didn’t know you had: what would a movie look like if it was written by drunk people, directed by a drunk person and starred only drunk actors? Sorry, ‘Sharknado.’ You no longer hold the title for the most ridiculous movie to come out in 2013. The answer can be found in this sci-fi action flick, which actually comes out better than you think, thanks to some slick production and a cast that, while blitzed, is not fall-down-on-your-face-after-a-night-cruising-the-frat-houses wasted. One of the film’s stars even took to Reddit to dispel any talk the cast really wasn’t loaded: A big question being asked repeatedly and understandably is: were all the actors REALLY drunk? The answer is a big YES! In fact, I personally got so wasted due to not timing my drinking correctly to when I was supposed to deliver, that I actually passed out and had to do it all over again (yes, get drunk all over again) a couple days later.” Ahh, only in America can you go online to prove you were indeed inebriated while doing your job. What a country! As for what the cast of ‘Sharknado’ was on when they agreed to make that cult classic, well, that’s under wraps.

Star Wars: Episode III was in my opinion the best of the prequel trilogy even though Darth Vader's Frankenstein "Noooooooooooooooo!" moment was absolutely ridiculous. Concept artist Sangjun Lee has released a really cool collection of concept art from the film showing off several awesome designs done for the production of the film. Love them or hate them, the prequels still looked great visually, and the art created for it is beautiful. Check out some of it below!

Steve Wozniak, the chubby, lovable half of Apple, wrote a short review of "Jobs": "I saw 'Jobs' tonight. I thought the acting throughout was good. I was attentive and entertained but not greatly enough to recommend the movie. [...] I suspect a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton’s own image of Jobs. Ashton made some disingenuous and wrong statements about me recently (including my supposedly having said that the ‘movie’ was bad, which was probably Ashton believing pop press headlines) and that I didn’t like the movie because I’m paid to consult on another one. These are examples of Ashton still being in character. Either film would have paid me to consult, but the Jobs one already had a script written. I can’t take that creative leadership from someone else. And I was turned off by the Jobs script. But I still hoped for a great movie. [...] I felt bad for many people I know well who were portrayed wrongly in their interactions with Jobs and the company. The movie ends pretty much where the great Jobs finally found product success (the iPod) and changed so many of our lives. I’m grateful to Steve for his excellence in the i-era, and his contribution to my own life of enjoying great products, but this movie portrays him having had those skills in earlier times."

Listen we’re not experts on science, but this seems like a pretty sound methodology. Get somebody really drunk and give them tests. Then get the same person really high and give them the same tasks. Compare the two results and decide which is better — alcohol or marijuana. SCIENCE! Buzzfeed wanted to be clear that the marijuana consumed in this video was done so legally in the state of California. So, cool your jets, Ranger Rick.

Sometimes you feel like really taking your time with a video game, digging around, finding treasure, leveling up to maximum capacity. Other times you just want to run like hell. These are those times, and if you’ve ever played any of these games, and you suffer from untreated anxiety, you might not want to watch these videos. Speed runs can get a bit intense. Here are 10 speed runs going through individual levels in a game, because, although it’s impressive that somebody beat Chrono Trigger in under seven hours, that doesn’t mean we want to sit and watch it all. However, we will include the speed run of the ENTIRE ‘Tiny Toons’ NES game, because when we were 11 we thought we were so awesome for being able to beat it in under 40 minutes. This video puts that record to shame.

I’m not at all surprised that Jimmy Kimmel’s recurring stupidity on the street segment uncovered that just about everyone sucks at “The Pledge of Allegiance” (even though I don’t know a single person I wouldn’t be baffled to learn can’t recite it with a split second’s notice) but I don’t think I could have pinpointed the exact moment and word where everyone fails in their pledge to their country. That montage starts at the 1:35 mark. “Individual?” “Independence?” “Indivincible?” Also, dude at the 1:08 mark gets it.

After a few weeks of teasing, the latest Borderlands 2 animated short is here! It follows Brick from the first game and everyone’s favorite homicidal pre-teen girl, Tiny Tina. This short is a prologue to the downloadable adventure,Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, which is Tiny Tina playing Bunkers and Badasses (a play on Dungeons and Dragons) with the players. In short, it is hilarious.

Since 2007, Jack Nicholson, one of the greatest actors of all-time, a man who once considered no amount of cocaine unsnortable and still believes no woman is unattainable, has only appeared in two movies: The Bucket List and 2010's mawkish How Do You Know. Unfortunately, the latter might be his last. According to Radar, the 76-year-old Nicholson is retiring from acting because of "memory issues." ("A redhead named Alice? Freckles? And she's pregnant? I don't recall sleeping with anyone with that name.") If true, the most magnificent of bastards has completed a filmography with at least a dozen all-time classics, including The Shining, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Mars Attacks! Yeah, that's right. In honor of all the laughs, but especially GASPS he's given us, here are 12 of Jack Nicholson's greatest GIFs, all of which belong in the Movie Hall of Fame, which should be modeled to look like the Overlook Hotel.

The pitter-patter of crazy Koolaid the bird’s feet makes while he runs after his ball in this video is probably the greatest sound ever. Sorry, Beethoven — yer DONE! We hereby proclaim little Koolaid chasing his tiny ball the best sound to ever grace human ears. No seriously, watch it. It made us feel at LEAST as happy as we did the first time we heard ol’ Ludwig’s ninth symphony.

Despite its three-and-a-half star rating on Yelp, Sava! Italiano was not a success. The Amarillo, TX-based Italian restaurant recently shut down, according to a closure notice outside the building, which reads in full: "You sorry assed, rednecked sacks of goat sperm had no idea what you had here! Good luck with your pre-packaged frozen shit food in this town. Maybe you’ll remember us when you’re boning your sister and think she smells like pasta. We are off to make money in a town whose average IQ is above room temperature! CIAO!!!"
