Digital Trends’ top 5 viral videos of May 6, 2011

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

Ninja Dog Attacks Cat

Recommended Videos

Where to begin with this one. The dog—which looks like it is half cow—decides to take a lesson from her rival, the cat, and go stealth. Like Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell, the enemy agent (the cat) is caught completely unaware as the dog attacks. The cat was fine, but if felines have pride, this one’s just took a whuppin’.

Obama TKOs Trump

It was a big week for President Obama. Last week he released the long form of his birth-certificate, to which possible Presidential rival Donald Trump ended his attacks just long enough to take credit for forcing the release. Then this week, Obama walked up to the microphones with a bit of a swagger and announced the death of Osama Bin Laden. But between the two events, he had time to rip Trump, and a handful of others a new one at the annual Press Dinner. If this were Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, you might be able to see the “TKO” over Trump’s head as the last jokes hit.

Snowmobiles and Gravity are Not BFFs

In the following video, this guy not only wipes out his snowmobile, he wipes the hell out of it, and is then forced to watch as it continues to wreck all the way down the mountain.

Taiwan Recreates Osama Bin Laden’s Lifestyle

The people responsible for the classic Tiger Woods domestic incident animation and the Darth Jobs clip are back to recreate what Bin Laden’s life was like before he met SEAL Team Six. The inclusion of the American robots and their spaceship is anyone’s guess.

Why Parkour Fans are so Hard to Insure

You know when you watch a movie like Jackass and you see that disclaimer warning you “not to try these stunts at home”? These guys didn’t listen, much to the chagrin of hospitals and the joy of internet video fans.

There's no shortage of worthwhile Christmas movies out there. Do you want to go back in time and relive your '90s Christmas memories? Then Disney+ has the Home Alone and The Santa Clause movies. Craving some scares to go along with those gingerbread men? Then you should watch Black Christmas on Tubi. Action fans have Die Hard and Netflix's Carry-On, and fans of so-bad-they're-good Xmas movies have Hallmark movies to indulge in.

Last year, I discovered a new addition to my usual rotation of must-watch Christmas movies: This is Christmas. A co-production between Sky Cinema and MGM+, the 2022 British film is a low-key charmer, an unabashedly sentimental and optimistic movie with the sole purpose of lifting your spirits. It does just that, and that's really all you can ask for in a quality holiday movie.

10 underrated 2024 movies you probably missed

There have been plenty of critically acclaimed mainstream movies released in theaters and on streaming this year. There have, however, also been just as many great movies unveiled throughout this year that have unfortunately failed to capture any level of widespread audience attention. With that in mind and, given that there are fewer than two weeks to go before this year comes to an end, now seems like as good a time as any to look back at some of those 2024 movies and give them the second chance at breakthrough success that they deserve.

So, without any further ado, here are 10 underrated films that you probably missed this year.

The 10 best movies to watch on Christmas 2024
Jack Black as Satan Claus in Dear Santa.

There are no rules that say you have to watch a Christmas movie on Christmas. But it is absolutely the best time to watch Christmas movies, or at least Christmas-adjacent films. These stories don't tend to play the same way in March as they do in December. Plus, Christmas films have the added benefit of being family-friendly selections ... for the most part. Some Christmas action movies are probably best left for older viewers.

This year's selections for the 10 best movies to watch on Christmas are available on most of the major streamers, and include new films mixed with some older titles. Not every selection below is strictly Christmas-related, but they all share the Christmas spirit in one way or another.
