If you can sift through all the dumb unboxing videos, reaction videos, sketch videos and all the other crappy "comedic" content posted online you can find a ton of really funny videos on YouTube.

The beauty of YouTube is you don't have to have a huge budget, or even a budget at all, you just need some footage to edit (or re-edit) and the occasional voice over track to put viewers in the right head space.

Cracked's John Cheese has done a pretty darn good job of sifting through the crappy comedy to find the giggle inducing gems in his ongoing series of comedy video listicles.

This goat thinks they're all hilarious, but maybe you should watch 'em all and decide for yourself.

This is no ordinary food truck. It's Pizza ∏, a floating pizzeria in the US Virgin Islands. Tara Bouis, a gourmet chef, and her husband Sasha, a computer programmer, left their busy lives on the mainland behind and operated a charter boat for a few years. Then they purchased an old 37-foot boat and personally renovated it into a floating commercial-grade kitchen. It even has a brick-lined pizza oven on board!

Now they anchor their boat offshore in the Virgin Islands and bake gourmet pizzas, made to customers' specifications. Last year, Bloomberg News reported on their extraordinary pizzeria:

The boat is anchored off the east end of St. Thomas in Christmas Cove, next to Great St. James Island. (Also nearby is Little St. James, the private island owned by billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein.) It’s an ideal location to snag boats from St. John and St. Thomas that are passing through on daytime snorkeling trips, as well as long-term charters. And you can order your pizza on your boat’s hand radio, call it in via cell, or even e-mail it. Then you can either pick up the pizza in your dinghy, or Pi will deliver it to you if you’re anchored in Christmas Cove.

This little piggy did not want to go to market. But we all have to go to work. Sorry, pig. That means you, too.

He won't budge, even though he's about to be late to his job at the sausage factory. Only a cookie held in front of his sensitive snout can rouse him.

Until recently, it was thought that only humans are capable of language that uses syntax--conveying the meaning of vocalization by order in sequence. But now, after much careful observation, scientists Toshitaka N. Suzuki, David Wheatcroft, and Michael Griesser have determined that Japanese great tits (Parus major) also demonstrate syntax in their chirps. They published their findings in the journal Nature Communications:

Here we report the first experimental evidence for compositional syntax in a wild animal species, the Japanese great tit (Parus minor). Tits have over ten different notes in their vocal repertoire and use them either solely or in combination with other notes. Experiments reveal that receivers extract different meanings from ‘ABC’ (scan for danger) and ‘D’ notes (approach the caller), and a compound meaning from ‘ABC–D’ combinations. However, receivers rarely scan and approach when note ordering is artificially reversed (‘D–ABC’). Thus, compositional syntax is not unique to human language but may have evolved independently in animals as one of the basic mechanisms of information transmission.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia! It's the classic Chia Pet home decoration made into a garment. Elizabeth Esponnette, a product design professor at the University of Oregon, made this living vest. She spread chia seeds over a muslin garment soaked in water. They grew quickly and even attracted snails. It's a veritable ecosystem!

Esponnette wants to reinvent how we look at clothing. Ecoterre quotes her:

By manipulating materials we’re comfortable in, and those we are not, she seeks to explore new structural and performance possibilities for the products we use.

“Why it is that we are comfortable wearing cow, but uncomfortable wearing other materials like hot glue, chia, and crystal?” she asked. “Is there an optimum level of familiarity with a material for our comfort level?”

Wearing new clothes for a while before washing them seems like a good way to keep that new clothes feel for longer, but after reading about all the yucky stuff found on some new clothes we may want to wash before wearing.

Because, as Heidi Mitchell of the Wall Street Journal discovered after speaking to professor of dermatology at Columbia University Donald Belsito, new clothes are often far from clean:

There are two major culprits when it comes to allergens in new clothing: dye and formaldehyde resin. Most synthetic textiles are colored with azo-aniline dyes, which can cause a severe skin reaction akin to poison ivy in the small population of people allergic to them. For others, reactions to dyes are less extreme, and may result in slightly inflamed, dry, itchy patches of skin...

“I have seen cases of lice that were possibly transmitted from trying on in the store, and there are certain infectious diseases that can be passed on through clothing. The other infestation I’ve seen from clothing is scabies.”

*shivers* I suddenly feel the urge to wash every piece of clothing in my closet...

Many actors, artists and musicians talk about their own death in a flippant way, thinking it makes them seem deep, nihilistic or otherwise above giving a damn about the Grim Reaper's approach.

But acclaimed actor Oliver Reed wasn't being flip when he made a surprisingly accurate prediction about his own death during his episode of Without Walls- The Obituary Show back in 1993, he was merely telling his own future:

I died in a bar of a heart attack full of laughter. We were having a cabbage competition. I was very confident that for once I was going to win this vegetable competition. And somebody made a bet with me that was so lewd that I took it on and he shook my hand. And I laughed so much I was sick and died.

(YouTube Link)

Oliver died in a bar in Valletta, Malta in 1999 while filming Gladiator, literally drinking himself to death in an Irish bar after being challenged to a drinking contest.

So while there wasn't any cabbage there was a competition, and laughter often accompanies drunkenness so that part was probably true too.

Omid Djalili, Reed's co-star on Gladiator, said Oliver "hadn't had a drink for months before filming started", so did Oliver make his fatal prediction come true, or was his fate so unavoidable that he saw it in the stars?

Boudoir photography has been dominated by female models for far too long, and as George Costanza and Kramer showed us on Seinfeld 'dudeoir' photography can be just as scintillating and alluring as standard boudoir shoots.

That's not to say the male body is as pleasant to look at as the female form, but sometimes allure and sex appeal are more a matter of how you work what you've got for the camera.

Canadian country boy Brandon certainly knows how to work it, and with a little help from his photographer friend Masika May he put together a set of sensual 'dudeoir' photos for his wife that puts the "ooh" in "ooh la la!"

Phyliss Terrell, a great-grandmother in Washington, D.C., was trapped in her third-story apartment. She was getting ready to jump out the window when Truck 7 from the DC fire department arrived. Firefighter Danny Lovato reached her with a ladder.

Both of them were engulfed in smoke. Lovato had an oxygen mask, but Terrell didn't. So Lovato pulled off his mask and gave it to Terrell so that she could survive while other firefighters approached her position from inside the building.

Harshita Murudkar, Shivani Gulati, and Mehak Philip are students at the MIT Institute of Design in Pune, India. They took on a daunting challenge: to design and build a new type of chair in only 2 weeks. This is the marvelous result of their labors. It's a woven hammock set inside a circular frame. It rocks back and forth on two runners.

This is Space Oddity, an anamorphic mural painted by Truly Design, an art firm in Turin, Italy. It sweeps over the walls of a hallway in the headquarters of the VF Corporation in Lugano, Switzerland.

The mural is certainly odd, for as you walk through it, the geometric forms distort your sense of space. It begins as a circle, but quickly changes into this:

Are you frustrated that you lost an hour today? That's nothing compared to the experience of daylight saving time during World War II. The belligerent nations often thought that adding extra daylight waking hours would increase productivity and decrease electricity expenditures. Winning the war necessitated maximizing this possible gain to the fullest advantage. Atlas Obscura describes their sometimes extreme efforts to alter official time.

In 1940, the United Kingdom added an hour in the spring. But the government decided to skip the fall reversal. Then, in the spring of 1941, it engaged in the regular adding of an hour. This was called Double Summertime.

In addition to the standard advantages of daylight saving time, Double Summertime made blackouts to prevent air bombings more effective because it gave workers time to get home before they went into effect.The UK decided to keep the practice for the rest of the war.

Other nations used time changes for administrative convenience. For example, Soviet-occupied Germany was on the same time as Moscow:

In 1945, Berlin and Soviet-occupied Germany went on Double Summertime for one summer, putting it in the same time zone as Moscow. Basically, time in Europe was extremely confusing for a while.

The one thing review sites like Yelp don't have enough of are reviews of places like jails and prisons, and perhaps a few courthouse reviews for good measure.

Don't lawbreakers and future prisoners deserve to know what their future holds in store for them in terms of prison accommodations?

Arrestee Christian Willoughby certainly thought so, and while he was there for a misdemeanor charge he managed to use his iPad to leave a review of the Grimsby Police Station on Facebook that was tough but fair:

I’ve given this place 4 stars. It’s the all day breakfast that lets it down really. Apart from that the staff are pleasant enough. Had my own on-suite room and butler… Who would come with tea and newspapers. Room was nice, the minimalistic idea was a nice touch. It was secure and safe… Quadruple glazing and security door. Ideal place for winding down after a hard day. I’d definitely come back

Maybe these reviews would actually curb crime in some places, because reviews left by prisoners would scare off future prisoners by spelling out just how bad prison accommodations can be. It's certainly worth a try!

As seen on TV products have gone from novelty trash companies charged way too much for, such as the Flowbee or the Bed MadeEZ, to affordable items that (arguably) improve our lives, like Flex Seal or Pajama Jeans.

But even though the stuff sold on TV is far more legitimate these days there are still lots of products being made that don't belong anywhere but the trash can.
