J.J. Abrams Grants Dying ‘Star Trek’ Fan’s Wish
Anybody who thinks Reddit is just for misogyny and creepy porn is only PARTLY right. They do their fair share of good as well. The story of a man dying of cancer is one such instance. Thanks to the good people of Reddit this loyal Trekkie will get to see some, if not all, of the new 'Star Trek' movie before he dies, thanks to the one and only J.J. Abrams.
Little Girl Seriously Cannot Say Banana
Is this video adorable? Or is this kid just not even trying? We're going to stick with adorable, since Christmas wasn't too long ago. She can say apple, but this little girl can't say banana. At all. We'd like to hear her try some other fruits, because if any of them are as bad as this, well, that will be a great day for the internet...

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.
2012’s Dumbest Criminals Are Painfully Dumb
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.
Video Shows What Really Happens While Mom Is Away
In case you were wondering what happens when you leave the kids alone with Dad, here's a video to answer all your questions. It's a time lapse video of a dad and his kid playing while mom is at work. Messes are made. Things are climbed upon...
Awesome Dad Builds Spaceship for Son
This guy's Dad Level = Outer space. With some donated old electronics and a master control board found in a TV station's dumpster, he built his son a spaceship. Then Redditor JeremiahGordon shared his results with the world. We must admit, we're pretty impressed. Take a look!
10 GIFs for the End of the World
We're staying calm. We really are. But what if despite all signs to the contrary, the world ends on Friday, December 21? Here's a guide to handling that particular little dilemma.
Young Cancer Patient Has Heartwarming Meeting With His Wrestling Hero
Professional wrestlers may seem like tough guys, but underneath their shiny spandex outfits and long, flowing hair (clearly a sign of ultimate masculinity), they have hearts of gold. Daniel Bryan, for example, recently met with a seven-year-old boy who has had brain cancer for almost four years, and says he's Bryan's biggest fan. It's okay if you need to go grab some Kleenex before you look at the
America’s Favorite Families The Kardashians and the ‘Honey Boo Boo Clan’ Offer Up Ridiculous Christmas Cards
We're hard pressed to think of a better way to showcase the two main genres of reality television than this side-by-side comparison of the Thompson (of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' fame) and the Kardashian families' Christmas cards.
Who Was the Most Annoying Person of 2012?
Well, the year is nearly over, so let's look back and hate on it a little bit. So many, many things were annoying this year. People starting saying "cray-cray" all the time, and for some reason they also all decided it was okay to waggle their chewed up gum halfway out of their mouths on the train. It's not. It's never okay.
Watch Zack Morris Pitch Friendship Bracelets to ‘Shark Tank’
We've never seen 'Shark Tank,' because it doesn't feature animals or hillbillies, but we already know it will never be as good in real life as it is in this video. It's a mash-up of 'Shark Tank' and that episode of 'Saved by the Bell' when Zack Morris pitches his friendship bracelet business idea...
First Dog Bo Obama Makes a Great Christmas Tree Inspector
You can love the president or hate him, but you've got to admit this is one cute First Dog. Here's Bo Obama being a very good dog and not knocking over any of the one zillion Christmas trees in the White House as he "inspects" the decorations before it opens to the public and 90,000 people stroll through...
