Watch this video. Did the Band of Horses song make you cry? That's okay. That's most people's response. We know, we know -- how could this video actually be horribly offensive? Well ...

You're not from just any starship  -- you're from the Enterprise-D, class Galaxy, baby. Back when people still got stuck in turbolifts and even a kid could solve a major engineering crisis. Are you a true Enterprise-D kid like Wil Wheaton, aka Wesley Crusher from 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'? Here's how you know.

We're going to go ahead and assume you liked 'Full House' as a child, because every time we tell somebody that we didn't like 'Full House' as a child, we get weird sideways glances and also we have no friends left. Since you are clearly a huge 'Full House' fan, here's a video that's probably of interest to you -- Uncle Jesse (aka John Stamos) and his band The Rippers reunited on 'Late Night With J

Typically, a parent will buy (or help pay for) a child's first car. In this video, the son is giving the father his first car for the second time.

Sometimes friends are the worst. This rowdy bunch of Norwegians (note the man smoking next to a gas can) took their friend out for his bachelor party and pulled a massive prank.

This video makes us feel happy, because it is so supremely awesome. It also makes us feel sad because we will probably never get a high five from a bumblebee. We can't even get high fives from our "friends."

"It's so hot outside." "Can't summer be over?" "UGH. So hot outside. Thanks, Obama." That's what you think you sound like right now. "Blahblahblah mememe moomoomoo" is what your constant summer griping actually sounds like to me.

You might watch this whole video wondering out loud if it is, in fact, real, or if the internet is playing a joke on you. That is how ridiculous this "what to do if you encounter a bear" news segment is.

We're not quite sure how this happens. This opening pitch thrown by 'Call Me Maybe' singer Carly Rae Jepsen at the Tampa Rays game on Sunday is a colossal failure.

Less than three months since this photo was taken in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, the man being carried in the photograph is walking again, despite losing both of his legs.

Almost one year ago we told you about the family of Aaron Collins, who were trying to respect his final wishes by giving a "$500 on a f------ pizza"-type of tip to a waiter or waitress. The Collins family did so, and that one tip has turned into so much more.

Remember that time that #BooksWithALetterMissing was trending on Twitter, and it was hilarious? No, because your life consists of more than clicking around the internet all day searching for meaning in your life that you're never going to find? Well, let us tell you -- it was indeed hilarious.

This could be an advertisement for 7Up, if it weren't more than four minutes long. Here is International Master Greg Shahade playing a quick pick-up blitz game of chess against a 10-year-old ... who wins in no time. Props to Shahade for displaying such good sportsmanship, and props to the little boy, Samuel Sevian, who is now an IM himself...

Maybe you live someplace where fireworks are illegal. Maybe secretly every time you hear some go off you are momentarily terrified that somebody on a neighboring block has just been shot to death. Maybe both (Brooklyn, rep!).

Feeling gloomy? Maybe a little down in the dumps? Has your job completely sucked away your will to live? Here's a quick pick-me-up that should make you feel better in just under four minutes, and it's so simple. The first thing you have to do is play this video (trust us)...

In this cute video, made by comedian Kevin Maher, little kids attempt to undertake a Nathan's-style hot dog eating contest in Coney Island. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), things don't go so well.

What says "summer is finally here" better than being smacked repeatedly in the chest by a small child? Lemonade? Sure. The distant jangle of ice cream trucks? Absolutely. Fireworks and BBQ? Okay, fine, we get it. Lots of stuff is more summery than this, but none of those are nearly as funny as the indignation of a child whose father had the audacity to not catch a foul ball that was whiz

Hey, did you notice it's hot outside? Like, pretty freaking hot. Maybe you can't afford the luxury of air conditioning. Maybe it doesn't matter because you still have to go outside. Don't panic (and certainly don't run). Here's a GIF guide to surviving a summer heat wave.

The Porcubimmer racing team has built a real-life version of Homer Simpson's dream car (and failed attempt at auto design), The Homer. The car will race at the Buttonwillow Raceway in California this weekend in the 24 Hours of LeMons race -- an endurance race for cars that cost less than $500.

Yesterday something pretty epic happened in the Texas state legislature. We know, already it is hard for you to believe, but we swear it's true. Senator Wendy Davis attempted a 13-hour filibuster to keep one of the most extreme anti-abortion bills in the United States from being voted into law. And this wasn't your average, everyday read-from-the-phone book filibuster, this was a Texas filibuster.
