We all have those moments when we’re holed up in Mugar doing ungodly amounts of work, and we just need a break. So, what do you do? You turn to YouTube for any funny, distracting four minute video (that usually turns into several more funny, distracting four minute videos) to keep you from studying for that chem exam that’s in two days. Well, if you’re all out of videos to distract you, here’s a list of seven that will keep you sane during finals period.
b7. Lion Cub Gives Us His Best Roar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBjKntYuUIk
Is there really anything cuter, or more distracting, than a real-life Simba working on his roar — err, should I say chirp?
6. Sailing Cat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veg63B8ofnQ
There are tons of funny cat videos, but this has to be my personal favorite — my roommate and I have probably watched it, I kid you not, over 100 times. Make sure you watch until the end though, for Awolnation’s Sail playing in the background really adds to the surprise.
5. Notorious B.I.G. Calms Down Crying Baby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7_0SOTQLIQ&feature=player_embedded
Who doesn’t love a good baby video? Plus, if you’ve always wanted to know how to calm a baby, watch this video and find out!
4. Double Dream Hands
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm7yAWpX1Mc
I honestly have no idea what type of exercise, or dance, this man is trying to teach, but the songs coupled with his “double dream hands” and “crank it” moves are so bizarrely captivating that you’ll find yourself glued to this video (and the surprise freestyle at the end).
3. Have You Ever Had A Dream Like This?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7RgN9ijwE4
The 21 seconds of this video are the strangest you’ll see in awhile. The little boy tries to finish a sentence, and it takes him the entire video to do so. The boy, and his little smile at the end, is just too adorable.
2. Greatest Freak Out Ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YersIyzsOpc
This one’s a classic. The teenage boy in the video attains epileptic-like qualities when his mother takes away his beloved video game. As the title suggests, this video really is the greatest freakout ever.
1. Any of Jenna Marble’s Videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UC0JC45XUQ
I may be biased because she’s a BU alum, but Jenna Marbles is probably the funniest YouTuber I’ve seen in awhile. She just sits and rants to her viewers about a topic that interests her, but manages to garner millions of views on each of her videos. You go, girl.
