1. Robbery with a Giant Stick Is Way Funnier Than It Should Be
If you were a convenience store clerk faced with a robber wielding a comically large stick as a weapon, you probably wouldn't think it was too comical. But after the fact, the security camera footage is pretty ridiculous.

2. The Best Blizzard Time-lapse Video You'll See Today
Watch a backyard in New Jersey get completely buried by snow. It took mother nature all night, but you can see it in the video in a matter of seconds.

3. This Is How They Deal With Snowpocalypse In Japan
Some people didn't believe the stunning snow scenes from Japan. What kind of monster machines do they use to clean roads from snowfall as tall as a four-story building? A Gundam plow machine? Now you can watch how they do it.

4. 9-Year-Old's "Whip My Hair" Skating Routine Is Impressive
Starr Andrews is nine years old and being called a "future Olympian" (by her family). In this video, she spins, leaps and gives her neck a workout.

5. Car Crashes Next To Guy Taking A Leak

8. Watch Some Polar Bears Adorably Destroy a Nature Show's Spy Cameras

Not entirely sure if this penguin is on drugs or is just happy to be alive, but either way it's adorable.

12. Dental Patient Under Heavy Anesthesia Simulates Driving Race Car

13. The Year in Video Gaming, NSFW
Some year-end retrospectives play out to the accompaniment of a tinkly piano. Others to a cheese-cloth montage. Our subject here plays out to strains of bow-chicka-bow-bow and the censor bars. It's Kotaku's Year, NSFW. (Warning, NSFW, duh.)

14. Watch the YouTube Video That Ebert Deemed Oscar-Worthy

Yeah, it's a slow news day in Seattle. "Holy crap!"

16. Roger Ebert's Past Game Addiction Made Him Sad

17. Mulholland Highway Has Some Shitty Drivers
It always happens. All the kooks find out about your favorite surf break and next thing you're surrounded by reckless nitwits. Same thing with drivers on Mulholland Highway, AKA The Snake. Hey! Stay in your lane, pal!

18. Tiny Robbers Attempt Hotel Heist with Giant Musket (Updated)
Yeah, stealing is wrong, but how can you not root for criminals this bizarre and audacious? Two crooks, perhaps stepping out of some kind of time portal, stuck up a motel with a musket. One perp was five feet tall.

22. Watch An Icy 20-Car Pileup As It Happens
One might think that residents of Colorado Springs, Colo., might be among the most experienced in the country when it comes to winter weather driving. This video of a 20-car pileup Thursday afternoon as it happened suggests otherwise.

23. Second Man Survives Impromptu Game Of Real-Life Frogger
This 53-year-old man was crossing a street in eastern Turkey when he stepped in front of a cab-over fuel truck. His choices were to get crushed or run like Frogger. He choose run, and actually survived.

26. Gilbert Arenas's Full-Court Shot That Wasn't, Then Was, Then Wasn't Again
If not for that pesky buzzer, Gilbert's rim-to-shot-clock-nothing-but-net heave would be that kind of thing that happens only when you escape the Wizards. (In Washington, the ball would have nailed a sick child in the fifth row.)

27. A Side by Side Comparison of the Final Scene of Back to the Future
When making Back to the Future II, as I'm sure you know, the final scene of BttF had to be reshot to include Elizabeth Shue as the new Jennifer. Here, just because, is a side-by-side comparison of the two.
