Watch These Kids Eating Warheads for the First Time

Daily Distraction — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:45:23 +0000

[onescreen item="5069410"] Ah, we can remember the first time we tried a Warhead. Especially our cheeks, which have never been the same. The super-sour candy can surprise you with just how powerful it is, particularly the first time you try one. These poor kids will likely remember theirs for quite some time. Well, thanks to [...]

Watch These Cats Getting Stuck in Jars

Daily Distraction — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:45:16 +0000

[onescreen item="5069256"] Cats love to squeeze into tight spaces: barely open drawers, the gap between the wall and the couch, and, of course, cat-size jars. We must’ve seen about a hundred of these cats-in-jars videos, and it often looks like the cat in question might finally have gone too far. Maybe he just forgot that [...]

Watch These People Karate-Chopping Things Wrong

Daily Distraction — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:45:29 +0000

[onescreen item="5068148"] The urge to chop something in half can be hard to resist, but your hand will probably thank you if do. Unless, of course, you’re a trained karate expertâ€”a black belt, we believe they call it. However, most of us aren’t quite talented enough to simply break whatever’s in front of us into [...]

Watch These Models Falling Down on the Runway

Daily Distraction — Thu, 16 May 2013 17:45:03 +0000

[onescreen item="5067230"] Modeling is tougher than it looks. Do you see the shoes these women have to walk around in? In most cases, when a model takes a tumble on the catwalk, the culprit is the footwear. Perhaps she had one glass too many of champagne backstage, but we’ll never know for sure. It’s gotta [...]

Watch These Twin Babies Communicating in Their Own Language

Daily Distraction — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:45:35 +0000

[onescreen item="5068968"] It’s pretty much impossible to understand what a baby is actually saying, unless of course you’re also a baby. They say twins sometimes have a psychic connection, and after watching these clips, it’s hard to argue with that. What sounds to most of us like a series of “goo”s and “gah”s and the [...]

Watch These Fish Jumping Onto Boats

Daily Distraction — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:45:54 +0000

[onescreen item="5068799"] You would think that a fish would prefer to stay in the water. But sometimes a fish will, for whatever reason, decide it’s time to go airborne. And sometimes they land in boats. Probably not the best outcome for the fish, but hey, it’s fun to watch. The Daily DistractionÂ is your Internet break [...]

Watch These Incredible Inflatable-Blob Launches

Daily Distraction — Mon, 13 May 2013 17:45:01 +0000

[onescreen item="5065942"] It just looks like so much fun, doesn’t it? Giant, inflatable blobs have become a huge attraction at lakes across the country, and they make for wonderfully entertaining Web clips. A good blob launch has everything: tense buildup, exhilarating action and a satisfying conclusion (SPLASH!). The Daily DistractionÂ is your Internet break from reality.Â Whether [...]

Watch These Amazing Softball Catches

Daily Distraction — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:45:51 +0000

[onescreen item="5065210"] Softball season is now fully under way, so let’s take a look at some highlights. No matter what level you areâ€”high school, coed bar-league teams, even more advanced squads that travel all over the countryâ€”when the weather warms up and you can finally put that glove back on and hit the field with [...]

Watch These Tiny Kittens Wrestling Huge Dogs

Daily Distraction — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:45:42 +0000

[onescreen item="5067617"] We’re not sure whom to admire more hereâ€”the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs. Sure, the kittens probably don’t know enough to be terrified of the giant canines, but still, any creature who could fit inside something else’s mouth probably knows instinctively not to mess with that thing. And [...]

Check Out This Incredible Hula Hoop Dancing! [VIDEO]

Heather Davis — Wed, 08 May 2013 17:40:42 +0000

This was amazing to me. I can’t hula hoop to save my life! My mom wisely told me I had to hula hoop outside as a kid, and I would have no kitchen left after this! Don’t try this in your house!

Watch These Hedgehogs Eating Things While All Curled Up in a Ball

Daily Distraction — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:45:00 +0000

[onescreen item="5066338"] Hedgehogs are fairly irresistible, aren’t they? Yes, yes they are. Especially when you’re holding one in your hands and it curls up into a little ball. This reminds us of aÂ classic one-liner: Hedgehogsâ€”why can’t they just share the hedge?Â Heh! The Daily DistractionÂ is your Internet break from reality.Â Whether youâ€™re eating lunch at your desk [...]

Watch These Dogs Playing With Babies

Daily Distraction — Mon, 06 May 2013 17:45:35 +0000

[onescreen item="5065519"] At first, it’s a little unnerving to see a big ol’ dog playing with a teeny-tiny baby. But it gets better. Much better. These dogs seem perfectly aware that their job is to protect and care for the babyâ€”even play with it, too. It’s a good way to make a new best friend. [...]

Watch These Spectacular Belly Flops

Daily Distraction — Fri, 03 May 2013 17:45:48 +0000

[onescreen item="5065629"] Summer is coming, which means pool parties. Which means belly flops. Who doesn’t love a good belly flop? It creates a gigantically enormous splash you can see for miles, and how about that sound? That ever-so-distinct sound of huge stretches of human skin smacking into water at pace. It’s marvelous. Even the belly [...]

This Is Not The Smartest Dog Ever [VIDEO]

Heather Davis — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:52:29 +0000

This dog is about as bright as Shadow, but he is pretty cute!

Listen to Pentatonix Sing The Evolution Of Music [VIDEO]

Heather Davis — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:40:28 +0000

Here is your tour through music history for today, courtesy of Pentatonix. We start in the 11th century and go all the way to today!

Watch These Otters Floating on Their Backs and Doing Stuff

Daily Distraction — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:45:47 +0000

[onescreen item="5063159"] Animals have a way of looking so darn peaceful at times, and none can do it better than an otter floating along the river on his back. And when they’re not just relaxing out there, these otters are eating clams off their otter bellies, grooming their otter heads, or holding hands with their [...]

See This Weather Person Improvise After A Malfunction! [VIDEO]

Heather Davis — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:45:01 +0000

Thank you to Mike Randall from WKBW for sharing this one. It just goes to show you that tap dancing as a kid can come in handy as an adult!

Watch These Dog Agility-Course Bloopers

Daily Distraction — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:45:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5064678"] It’s not just our dogs who have trouble on these agility courses, we humans do too. As if we humans didn’t have enough trouble jumping over hurdles, we feel the need to make our poor pooches do all that and more. Sure, they might miss a jump here and there, but they don’t [...]

Watch These Puppies Fall Asleep While They're Sitting Up

Daily Distraction — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 17:45:28 +0000

[onescreen item="5062284"] Puppies face a frequent conflict: they want to be part of whatever’s going on, but they’re so, sooooo … (yawn) … tired ……….. To be fair, they’re not the only ones who suffer through this dilemma. Babies confront the very same issue, often while they’re trying to eat. But there’s just something adorable [...]
