The problem with having your sousaphone players march backwards is that if one goes down, they all go down. A fact clearly evidenced by this video of seven marching band players piling one on top of the other during a halftime show. On the one hand, it kind of gives you an idea of the level of commitment marching band members have, which is worthy of respect. On the other hand…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA so many tuba players in a giant tuba stack!!!! Hilarious.

Welp, this video, aptly called ‘Bunnies can fly … proof,’ just about does it for us. We’re hanging it up. Blow the whistle — that’s enough internet for one week. We’re maybe going to go outside, see some leaves. Maybe we’ll buy that journal we’ve been talking about. Find a new cafe and drink coffee on the bank of a river. Anything but this.

Fox 40 Sacramento reporter Sabrina Rodriguez came across her most eager interview ever when Mickey the baboon decided to show he’s all hands while she did a live report from the Lodi Grope, er, Grape Festival. Oh, the perils of live TV. To Rodriguez’s credit, she rolled with punches — or the paws, in this instance — and carried on like it was monkey business as usual. That said, TheFW does not condone this kind of behavior, even in the animal kingdom. Further proof that animals are actually huge jerks.

Retta's Donna Meagle makes the UPROXX Spirit Animal Power Rankings for a number of reasons: self-confidence, tell-it-like-it-is-atude, and -- most importantly -- scene-stealing lines everyone should use on a daily basis. And with us conducting a week long Parks and Recreation countdown it only seems fitting to kick things off with a reminder of how much more spectacularly badass we'd all be in real life (or at least on the internet) if we all borrowed from Donna Meagle on the reg.

Whether you’re an iPhone fan or not, you’re probably well aware iOS 7 was released yesterday. For all non-users, this basically means the phone’s software was amped up a bit, which sounds like it’d be totally cool, but as soon as people could download it, Twitter exploded with complaints. Let us clarify– by “complaints” we actually mean “first world problems.” But seriously, it’s rough when iOS 7 suddenly gives you a Paula Abdul documentary on your phone! Ughhh. Check out more of the iPhone struggles below.

When you leave a crazy voicemail, there’s a chance the recipient is going to make a video of it and put it on YouTube. This is why we stick to texting. Fortunately, these people didn’t, and we can laugh at their folly. Inspired by the hilarity of that classic (on the internet) voicemail a man left as he witnessed a car accident, we thought why not go ahead and curate more voicemail videos and put them in one place, so people could enjoy them without ending up on the weird part of YouTube.

To say Eloy Morales is an extremely gifted artist is an understatement. Based in Madrid, Spain, he has been refining his craft since 1995. Possibly one of the best photorealistic painters in the world, the depth and detail of his work is astounding; not only are his paintings photographic in quality, they possess a kind of life to them. Morales uses himself, family and friends as subject matter. He does this so that he is able to better develop the psychological aspects within his paintings. “I want to show how the person is feeling in that moment… this is the most important thing for me”. But how does he create such incredibly detailed and realistic artworks? The secret, it seems, is more to do with blending and layering, rather than focusing on the details…

The concept of a “Bridezilla” has been taken to a whole new level. A series of emails written by a bride-to-be to her bridesmaids (and shared by one of the bridesmaids) will have you shaking your head in utter disbelief. The bride lays out some crazy ground rules and then tries to show a sense of humor, but, really, comes across as the kind of desperate lady who all the guys hide see and hide in the bathroom when it’s their time to chat with her during a speed dating event. From her obsession with everyone’s weight to her completely unforgiving stance on her bridesmaids’ hair to her need to call herself “The Queen Bee,” it’s clear the man who exchanged “I dos” with her has his work cut out for himself. Yes, they actually did get married. Here are just a couple of the guidelines the woman spelled out for her bridesmaids (the bold is her work, by the way):

These days, smartphones are as much a part of our lives as the air we breathe, but don’t count Louis C.K. among the legions of people who like them. While appearing on ‘Conan,’ the comedian didn’t hide his disdain for smartphones. It’s an insightful (and funny) diatribe that you’re bound to recognize as having more than an ounce of truth. With all the sadness he claims life throws our way, it’s nice to get a chuckle.

We all know the drinking a coffee first thing in the morning, will increase your energy levels with its caffeine boost. But how exactly does it work? And does it really give you a greater ability to focus? If you didn’t have a cup of coffee before starting work, would you be less productive? And just how addictive is caffeine? And what about beer? We recently looked at how beer actually saved the world, but that aside, is there any truth in the rumour that drinking beer actually makes you MORE creative? Surely not? Well, you might be surprised. The folks over at I Love Coffee have created this neat infographic which shows you the benefits and shortfalls of drinking both coffee and beer – remember people, everything in moderation!

STOP THE (WORD)PRESSES. We all need to march down to MTV Headquarters in Manhattan and demand that the 2013 Video of the Year award for “Mirrors” be stripped from Justin Timberlake. NOW. Tegan and Sara have remade their “Closer” music video with dogs pretending to be humans, and it’s the Video of the Year for every year. THE CORGI AND THE DOG THAT ISN’T A CORGI TOUCH PAWS LIKE THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS. #pugs

At this point it’s no secret that Retta, aka Donna on Parks and Rec, is one of the more enjoyable celebrities to follow on Twitter because of her TV live-tweeting prowess. That said, she apparently just got around to watching Sunday’s panic-inducing episode of Breaking Bad a few hours ago and took to Twitter to air a few thoughts. Take it away, Retta…

In this hilarious video, a group of friends in New Zealand decide to rig the water lines in their buddy’s house so that beer came out of every tap in the house. Then, they set up dozens of cameras all over the house to catch his reaction. It’s a prank that will have frat brothers everywhere drooling with envy. It’s like ‘Animal House’ meets ‘Hackers’ meets ‘Punk’d.’ Gosh, they must’ve worked up a thirst. Good thing they had easy access to plenty of beer to reward themselves for a job well done.

Like it or not, fall is here, (pretty much, let’s not get technical about it, okay?). We all know what that means — hot apple cider, digging out your sweaters from the back of the closet, and people going on and on about how much they love pumpkin spice lattes. It was only so long before the market responded, and now are subjected to an onslaught of pumpkin spice-flavored crap so extreme, we think things have gotten a tad out of hand. Here are just a few examples that the fad has gone too far.

Redditor ccp_manifest posted these pictures of a friend’s daughter’s birthday party where the little girl DESTROYS her Cookie Monster cake. It’s pretty cute. You know, in a severely morbid way. It’s the kind of cute that makes a grown ass adult back away slowly and say “No — NO! Hey look, you can take whatever you want. Just please… please don’t eat my face.” See the gory sequence of events below. WARNING: Very graphic.

He’s played some of Hollywood’s most unique (and often challenging) roles. From the neurotic, villainous & psychopathic (The Shining, The Witches Of Eastwick, Batman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) to the grumpy and downtrodden (The Bucket List, About Schimidt) and everything in between – Jack Nicholson is a true legend of the screen.

Official Comedy uploaded the below video last Wednesday — the day of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiere — and I somehow indefensibly didn’t get around to watching it until today. I blame Rum Ham. But now that I have viewed it many, many times I can safely say it is incredible and belongs in a museum and fully endorse the show itself swapping it in for an episode. I mean, the graphics work alone. Just splendid. If you need me I’ll be turning a screengrab of Mac & Charlie at the Flyers game into my desktop wallpaper.

"Hey Ya!" is 10 years old, which means Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has been out for a decade, which means you're old. André 3000's timeless ode to making you cumma was released as a single on September 9, 2003, and 10 years later, its legacy is firmly set as one of the most purely enjoyable songs of all-time. So many bar mitzvahs. Much of the song's popularity is tied into its impossibly perfect music video, which taught the word to "shake it like a Polaroid picture." In honor of Outkast's "Hey Ya!" let's take a look at 10 other classic dance moves that were popularized via music videos from the past decade. While listening to The Love Below, obviously.

Cross-dressing gets a whole new look in a bizarre new trend sweeping the internet. Men have been snapping photos of themselves on Reddit wearing oversized gym shorts as dresses. It’s unique, but is it practical? Look at the pictures below and decide for yourself.

Twerking may be the dance craze of the moment, but one parent is going to great lengths to stop it. Frances Hena, of Bakersfield, California, was so irate that her 11-year-old daughter decided to twerk at a school dance that she made the girl stand on a street corner with a sign apologizing for her behavior. Hena had told her daughter, Jamie, not to twerk, but found out through a friend that she had gone ahead and done it, anyway. Hena decided to dish out some unusual punishment, hauling Jamie to a street corner with a sign informing anyone and everyone who drove by what she did. The sign read:

Couple Alexandra and Chris decided to do something a little unconventional for their engagement shoot. Okay, they decided to do something A LOT unconventional for their engagement shoot. I mean, considering that engagement shoots generally feature photos of the couple smiling/hugging/kissing/gazing into each others’ eyes and take place in the woods/by a barn/on the train tracks/at the park. This one, well, they’re like smashing a dude’s face in and pushing him off a ledge. You know, just to make sure he’s really for real dead. So there’s that. You know what they say: a couple who slays together, stays together. Because if y’all break up, can you really trust that person not to rat you out to the cops? No. No you can’t. Kill them before they kill you!

She’s back! Former ‘SNL’ head writer, ‘Weekend Update’ hostess and Sarah Palin mimic extraordinaire Tina Fey will be back on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ if only for a night. Fey is slated to host the show’s season premiere on Sept. 28 with musical guests Arcade Fire. E! Online reports that following Fey’s triumphant return is none other than Miley Cyrus, who will turn in double duty as both host and musical guest on Oct. 5. Other guests on the long-running series include Bruce Willis as host with musical guest Katy Perry, as well as a rumored double-duty performance and hosting by none other than Lady Gaga. Considering how well Gaga’s video short with Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake, ‘Three-Way,’ went, we bet the New York City native will get all the ‘Applause’ she deserves.

I was going to include All is Bright in this week’s Pulitzer-worthy streaming and video on demand post, because it hits VOD tomorrow and I admittedly thought it looked like a typical, hokey Christmas movie, based on the typical, hokey promotional image. But the newest trailer for All is Bright reveals that it’s not all that hokey and typical, as much as it looks like a sweet, silly story of a scumbag dad trying to find a little redemption in the holiday season. Paul Giamatti stars as the aforementioned scumbag dad, and when he’s released from prison, he realizes that finding a regular job is pretty difficult in this crappy economy. Paul Rudd comes along and they decide to sell Christmas trees together in New York City, but it turns out to be harder than they expected, because they suck at it. Sort of like me and writing porn movies. Or simply writing.

Adam Lefkoe is a sports anchor with WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky who decided to spice up an otherwise routine segment by peppering in as many ‘Seinfeld’ references as possible. Here’s a report that’s real…and it’s spectacular. From reporting on University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino being inducted into the Hall of Fame to showing highlights of NFL games, Lefkoe wows his viewers with his wit and proves he is indeed master of his domain. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Lefkoe has gone down this road before. Earlier this month, he filled his sportscast with a bunch of wrestling references (which you can see below), leading us to wonder what could possibly be next on his agenda. All we know is whoever is doing his writing should probably think about applying for a gig with the J. Peterman catalog.

Readers of LOLJam, and fans of Lady Gaga: did you think that I wasn't going to be on this story today? I hope by now you've realized how much time I invest on a daily basis on this woman (because honestly, it's quite ridiculous). Today, she performed a new installment of her new single 'Applause' on Good Morning America, and yes, it was indeed very Gaga-esque. In this particular performance, she had her faithful companion Fozzie with her playing as "todo" from the Wizard of Oz. Like always, you have to wait for the jaw dropper moment (or at least, everytime for me there is that =O face moment that I make). With out giving too much away, I'll just quote one of her songs:

Magician Stuart Edge went up to total strangers and asked for their hand in marriage after fooling them a card trick. Stuart started off by telling the stranger that they were in his dream last night and, in this dream, they asked him to turn over a certain card from his deck. He then asks them to think of a card while he magically makes it appear, proving that the dream was real. He ends it all by dropping to one knee and pulling out an engagement ring.

Did you ever watch the gang on ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ and think “what’s wrong with these people?” Well, according to these toxicology reports, there is plenty going on inside their bodies to explain why they act the way they do. For example, Sweet Dee is made up of mostly margarita mix. Charlie is a mix of sixteen different toxins in his system, including spray paint and bleach. Mexican ephedra is floating around inside Mac and most of the gang is on crack. Fascinating stuff. Check out all the toxicology reports for the Paddy’s Pub gang and don’t forget to grab season 8 of the show now on DVD and Blu-Ray.

I randomly came across this punk rock music video over the weekend for a song called Giant. Robot. Babies., and it made me laugh, so I had to share it. The music video and song was created by YouTuber nice peter. I'm confident that this will entertain you, and that you'll be singing "Giant. Robot. Babies!" for the rest of the day. The song is still stuck in my head! Also, this needs to be a new show on Cartoon Network!

Mario can't seem to keep his hat on his head in this incredibly cool live-action video of him and his brother Luigi performing parkour stunts around a city. Some fun special effects have been included like fireball shooting, turtle stomping, and brick breaking. I've got to say, throwing yourself out of a parking garage window head first is a pretty ballsy move, but they pull it off gracefully in this video. Check it out!

Wait did I say worst? My apologies. I meant to say THE BEST EVER! This twerking video is sooo hot. But not for the reasons you might think. This young lady wanted to make a spicy video of herself twerking like Miley for her boyfriend. She looks like she’s got some good moves, but her routine soon goes, well, up in flames. Here’s hoping she bounces back from her injuries soon and starts up again with something less dangerous, like the hokey pokey.

Statues are by definition boring. Since, you know, they basically just stand there. However, things can get interesting when their flesh and blood counterparts get creative…
