Friday Face-Off: A Penguin Fetches A Newspaper vs. Psychotic Boyfriend In A Truck

Written by Ashley Burns / 12.16.11

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.

Chinese Car Crashes Are Awesome

Written by JOSH Z / 03.30.11

Deadspin found this video of a compilation of Chinese car crashes that is simply breathtaking in its total disregard for human life. If you think your day has been rough, just be grateful that you didn’t ride your bike into a four-way intersection and get hit by a dump truck, whose driver didn’t so much as slow down to see if you were okay. Eh, they’re Chinese. It’s hard to argue that every life is precious when you live with a billion other people and can’t ship your female babies out of the country fast enough.

This Crash Doesn’t Look Very Fun

Written by Ashley Burns / 02.24.11

I’m not much of a rally car racing fan, as I’m more into drifting my Civic while I wear a sleeveless mesh shirt and listen to P.O.D., but one thing I do love is a good car crash. In this case, the crash in question occurred during a recent Mont Blanc race, as a French driver lost control of his car, sending himself and his navigator off the side of a cliff. Thankfully, there was a camera inside the car to show us the glorious results.

At the end of the video, you can hear one of them ask the other, “Ca vas?” That means, “Are you OK?” And the other guy probably responded something like: “Je pooped mes pantalons.”

Video after the jump…
