This is Charles the lion dog. He does look pretty lion-y. It must be even more astounding in person, because one Norfolk, Virginia, resident saw him on the street and called the police, saying there was a lion on the loose and it was potentially looking for food.
Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to shut him up, as we now know, thanks to this video of him trying to scream through the duct tape over his mouth.
Here you were just thinking today is "Monday." Little did you know it's actually New Episode of 'Bunheads' Day! The winter premiere of the ABC Family show is tonight, so cancel ALL your plans. It's Monday, why did you have plans anyway? Clearly you should be at home watching 'Bunheads.' Here are some gifs to prove that we're right.
Al Roker truly is a man of the people. He loses weight. He makes jokes. He video bombs 'Today Show' segments by freezing in place. And apparently he can't resist telling everybody when he has a little accident at the White House. The admission, which came out during an interview on 'Dateline,' has him catching all kinds of flak, but we have to admit we're impressed.
It seems that a massive undertaking like a New Year's Eve Special was a little more than independent, LA-based television station KDOC could handle. Really. It definitely was.
Hey, did you hear the good news? We managed to avoid soaring headlong off the fiscal cliff yesterday. Granted, the House pulled the plug on a bill providing emergency aid to people whose lives were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy to do it. But they did it. Hooray!(?)
We're seriously rethinking our hobbies. James "The Bear" McDonald is seen here plowing his way through the entirety of Denny's special "Hobbit" menu, because he's a competitive eater and that's what he does. We, on the other hand, have a drawer full of half-finished socks.
If you're having a big party tonight and don't know what to play, you could play this song at the stroke of midnight, if you're the sort of person who plays 'Friday' on Friday just because it's Friday. It's Rhe De Ville's newest New Year's song. It's all about how it's a new year, and things
If there's one thing to be said about YouTuber MrRollerverse, it's that he freaking LOVES rollerblades. Like, looooves them. If you don't believe us, you clearly haven't watched this video yet.
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.
Considering how much most people hate looking for a job, Dave Herman is definitely one of the more motivated people we've come across this year. With just five days left in the year, he's worked 99 different jobs, and he's looking for a 100th.
It's that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012.
