The Media Hub

We all see media. All day we're on the prowl for stuff on the internet that will make us laugh. As such, I hereby enact a central hub where anyone is welcome to post any random entertainment that isn't necessarily worthy of its own thread. We know its out there, and I know you see loads of it every day, so why not share some of it? YouTube videos, funny images... whatever the media may be, go forth and spill your info!

For the programmers:

These first ones could go to the "Name This Game" thread as well.

Re-reading the first post, it looks like the OP wanted humour more than generic cool stuff. Oh well, at least the first three images from that post count. Kind of. Also, if you like the Fallout games, check out this fan film. Funny stuff.

Anything really. Not just humor. I just tend to like humor. ;)

My mind? Officially blown:

Stare at either the left or the right one and the middle dancer will alternate directions. It's insane.

Nah, the one on the left has the blue leg going clockwise, the one on the right has the red leg going counter-clockwise, just the colours of the corresponding legs are alternated in the two extremes to obfuscate things. I don't see it affecting the middle one at all really.

Yeah, didn't work for me either... but this rig is so old & slow the animation is kind of jerky-- like 5 fps or something.

Neat idea, though. I love all those eye-tricking bits.

I love the Sunshade one. :lol:

I've never seen it with the colors added, it actually is an optical illusion, the original can go either way depending on how you look at it.

Look at either the right or the left, then look at the middle. Should be going the same direction as the one you last looked at. Then look at the other one. You may have noticed that the middle one has "changed" directions. Pretty fucking awesome if you ask me.

Edit: Also, btw.

Nah, the middle one just changes depending on the way you look at it regardless. You can view it as going either way because it's a silhouette and has no depth.

Most of these are funny, but there are some I just don't get at all. Like these two:

There's... a car. And then there's... a car with a difference. Should I have expected a bigger change, or something?

As for the Beijing one. What's that about? Is the band called "Take that"? Is it supposed to be cool? Is it supposed to be ironic? I just don't get it.
