FUN VIDEO: Worm Cat

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, everything is funner in a tube.

The Happy Gilmore Tee Shot Tested

Ever wonder if the Happy Gilmore run and tee would really work? So did Sport Science and pro golfer Padraig Harrington. NOTE: The really fun stuff starts around the three minute mark. Double NOTE: How crazy would it be if a Sandler movie changed the way golf is played?

Pick The Perp

promo code 4 = NEEDFUN

Can you pick the right guy (or gal) in this, the ultimate who-done-it, using nothing but your gut and, in some cases, your knowledge of how skin and teeth respond to things like Meth and Oxycontin? It’s all the fun of a criminal line-up, without having to be the victim of a crime first.

NOTE: This really shouldn’t be fun at all, it’s sick, and it’s harder than you’d believe, and yet, I just keep clicking. Have a go and let us know how you did. So far, my best streak is just 2.

HONORARY DOGGLER: Farbs

When game developer developer Farbs – he of Rom Check Fail and Polychromatic Funk Monkey – decided it was time to put in notice and move on to greener pastures, he did it in the funnest way possible… with a custom Super Mario Bros-style game. How fun is that? Ready to play his resignation letter? All 4 levels, after the jump.

Dickens URL

Convert any URL from it’s normal lameness into a little bit of Dickens awesomeness/ Sure, they’re not any shorter, but they are more Dickens-y. How fun is that? Try this one on for starters…

http://dickensurl.com/76d5/Mrs_Varden_was_a_lady_of_what_is_commonly_called_an_uncertain_temper__a_phrase_which_being_interpreted_signifies_a_temper_tolerably_certain_to_make_everybody_more_or_less_uncomfortable

(Whoa, doesn’t even fit on the page. Long winded. That’s my Dickens.)

…then go ahead and make a few of your own. Yup, good times.

FUN VIDEO: Cincinnati’s Super Hero

If any town needs this it’s Cin-City. Then again, it’s all fun and games… until a guy in green spandex tases you. Good times or “go away”? You be the judge.

Thanks to Mike Shirley for sending this in.

Army Meal or Airline Meal?

MRE (that’s “Meal Ready to Eat,” army talk for “it all came in same box, packed years ago”) or economy class airplane chow? You think you’d know which is which, but you have no idea. Take the quiz below to find out.

So what have we learned? You’re probably going to wish you’d packed a snack in either situation, and I’m equipped for neither having scored a pitiful 600. How’d you do?

Play Neon Maze

Guide your little guy to the exit. He must match the color of the barrier to pass through. Simple right? It gets more complex. Click the pic (also wait a second for load and skip the ad) to get the game.

YouCube

Load any six YouTube videos onto the cube, spin and flip it as they all play at once, and send to a friend.

CLICK HERE for the one I made with some of my Zoomdoggle favorites (Obama Thumbtacks, Fun Idea Text, Mr T Post-its Wall, BuckyBalls Infomercial, Bucky Hands, Blowing Eggs, BONUS Mini Chips) but note that it’s having mega-trouble loading on account of bandwith issues. Oh well. Have a go for yourself… if you come up with anything fun, post a link below.

UPDATE: THIS ONE seems to load pretty well.

I made one

DIY Spitball Supreme

A simple how-to for those times when simply blowing it through a straw isn’t nearly powerful enough.
