Instagram Husband
This is the story of a man who is married to an Instagram star. Well, she might not even be a star, but she’s certainly a contender. The husband is important to her Instagram feed, even though you never see him. It’s not an easy life.
You know how people say, “Pics or it didn’t happen?” They want proof that it happened. For these women, the pics are there, even if it didn’t happen. The pics are not just the biggest thing, they are the only thing. (via Buzzfeed)
Darth Trump
Everywhere you go on the internet, there’s Star Wars. And there’s Donald Trump. Auralnauts couldn’t resist the opportunity to combine them. In this video, sound bites from The Donald are married to video clips of Darth Vader. But the best sound bite isn’t from his campaign stump speeches. It’s the catchphrase from the TV show The Apprentice. Watch for it. I had to laugh out loud! But the scene where he reveals himself to Luke is pretty funny, too. (via Tastefully Offensive)

Star Wars New Cantina Band on Bottles
The Bottle Boys place themselves in the Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley, that wretched hive of scum and villainy, to play us a song! They also redid some of the dialogue of the original Star Wars scene to make it as authentic as possible. They may have skimped on their own costumes a bit, but you’ll enjoy the music anyway.

Aleph Bass
Time to learn your aleph-bet! Hebrew letters form the foundation of this trippy psychedelic music video for the song "Aleph Bass" by the Hebrew rap group Darshan (Eden Pearlstein and Shir Yaakov Feit). Filmmakers Brian Savelson and Abbey Luck gave it a mystical, colorful animated video in time for Hanukkah. You may not understand the language (although part of it is in English), but the tune will get stuck in your head. (Thanks, Brian!)
Santa Speaks Her Language
A little girl goes to see Santa at the Cleveland Centre in Middlesbrough, UK. That’s a good-looking Santa Claus. The child’s mother mother explains she’s hard of hearing, but yes, she does know a little sign language. And so does Santa! It’s almost like a scene from a movie. That’s got to be the real Santa Claus. (via Viral Viral Videos)

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...in an alternate reality, a young Billy Luke Skywalker has befriended Ol' Ben Ken Bobby. After receiving a distressing message from the beautiful debutante, Charleia, the two set off to Mos Eislenburg, Kentucky. Here they run into the local moonshine trafficker and overall scumbag , Hank Solo Jr., in a seedy local bar. Solo offers the two a ride past the county line in his beat up Ford Falcon as long as they don't mind riding with his dog, Chewingtobacca. The adventure of a lifetime is on the horizon for this unlikely entourage, and I like to imagine this would be the soundtrack.(via Tastefully Offensive)

Cat Will Not Be Ignored
Enjoy this lovely scene of a toddler out for a walk on a snowy day with the family cat. I think the cat wants the child’s attention.
Body slam! Orange cats are like that. If I’m outside gardening, mine thinks the only reason I could possibly be out there is to pet him. He also annoys the neighbors and passers-by until they pet him. I hope he doesn’t find a toddler he likes. Oh, there’s also a version of this video with commentary. (via reddit)

African Civet Feeding Frenzy
A trio of young African civets enjoy a bowl of porridge with milk. They go at it wholeheartedly, while the cats are more fastidious. Well, the cats relish the milk, while the civets plow through it to get to the porridge on the bottom. Riverbank Fisher lives in rural Ghana and has civets living in his large walled garden. They are his pets, but stay outdoors. He says civets tend to destroy furniture.
A later video of the same civets shows how they have grown and become affectionate. Riverbank Fisher said he had to cut back on the milk when they started to get too fat! (via Tastefully Offensive)
Tortoise Rescues Tortoise
The poor tortoise got himself high-centered on a rock. What can he do? He can’t get enough leverage on any side to walk himself off. But a larger, and probably older and wiser, tortoise comes to save the day. Tortoises look out for their friends, after all.
