Inevitable ‘Who The F*ck Is Bon Iver?’ Reactions Vastly Improved By The Rise Of ‘Bonnie Bear’ & ‘Bony Bear’ - Dude should just change his band’s name to Bonnie Bear and be done with it. I’d listen to Bonnie Bear. [UPROXX]

Meme Watch: It’s About Time We Gave ‘Forever Resentful Mother’ Her Own Feature - I’m glad my Mom never did anything meme-worthy. Also, pretty happy that I didn’t have the Internet until I was old enough to be weird about my parents on it. [UPROXX]

We’re going back to the Friday Face-Off roots this week, and we’re pitting two ferocious wild animal videos against each other. The first video is actually one person’s heroic effort to train the most terrifying animal in the whole universe – the common kitten. Make sure to double up on your adult diapers while watching this video, because you will urinate from fear.

College Basketball’s Best Names 2011-12 Edition - Bak Bak is still making me laugh 20 minutes later. I want to adopt a basketball star and name him Dscheing’sga Lordloveshymm. [It's Always Sunny In Detroit]

Radio-Free FilmDrunk: Celebrating Hollywood’s Love Affair With The Cold War - A great feature from Burnsy about the glory days of film, when you could have a guy with evil Soviet eyebrows and everyone could go “oh man f**k that guy” without expectations of tolerance. I sorta miss evil Russia. [Film Drunk]

Goths Up Trees Is Necessary Because There Are So Many Goths Up So Many Trees - Also known as “guys Brandon hates and girls he’d probably try to sleep with”. Goth guys always look like someone from The Princess Bride. [UPROXX]

The Black Keys Trash Nickelback In Rolling Stone, Because Why Not, Right? - It’s weird that musicians can’t say “Nickelback is a terrible band” without sounding like the most pretentious d-bags ever. Nickelback IS terrible, just say so without dragging your cigarette and blowing smoke into your Village loft. [UPROXX]

Old Grandma Hardcore Returns to Play Skyrim - It’s like watching the most offensive, inhuman Gates Of Heaven ever. I love how she’s playing two games at once: Skyrim and “keep my own gross mouth moist”. [Gamma Squad]

Sh*t White Girls Say To Black Girls - Also funny: this lady’s Nicki Minaj Christmas cards. Beware the comments on the video, though, I don’t think you can be a black person and safely use YouTube. [The High Definite]

If Star Wars Was Noir Wars - I’m guessing at least 5% of our national budget goes to funding dudes who sit around and keep trying to come up with ways to parody Star Wars. Seriously, how many more ways can you POSSIBLY parody Star Wars? It’s porn! It’s noir! What would it look like if Robert Altman directed Star Wars? Blerg! [Unreality]

Today’s Friday Face-Off is brought to you buy Kayaking Dog, who popped up at Imgur earlier this week and quickly stole the Internet’s heart. He has nothing to do with today’s videos, but he would like to remind you that this is a weekly competition between two random videos that I’ve found while wasting my days and we highly encourage you to help us choose which one is better. Feel free to submit suggestions to BurnsyWL@gmail.com, and if your submission is chosen you will win a With Leather t-shirt that all the ladies are going crazy over.

For this week’s Friday Face-Off, I thought I’d make the choice a little more difficult by playing on two of our favorite things – animals doing awesome stuff and ridiculously unbelievable violence and destruction. You know, raise the bar a bit and make us really have to think about this while we’re ignoring whatever the hell we’re supposed to be doing.

First up, a penguin. But this isn’t just any penguin. This is a penguin that has apparently been trained like a dog and that is awesome. I’m obsessed with penguins because they just seem so cool, like they should be able to talk to us and give advice. This one can fetch a newspaper, and while I can’t remember the last time I picked up a newspaper, I would totally start reading them again if penguins brought them to me.
