This video (Ebaums-World’d for use on the Tosh.0 Blog) confirms what I’ve long feared: a stationary baby could beat me at ping pong.

“Jamie playing multiball” is the title, and the only context provided is, “Couldn’t keep Jamie away from the table!” so I don’t know how the baby learned to play or how he got on the table by himself or what the hell “multiball” is, so I hope you can enjoy it on its own merits. Worst case scenario, this kid turns out to be Soviet and we’ve got an awesome antagonist for 20-years-from-now’s Cold War table tennis showdowns.

Bonus: This is sorta the “Fitter Happier” of babies playing ping pong videos. After a couple of views I’ve become obsessed with what’s going on in the background. Who will win, yellow or black? What are they laughing about? I feel like if I watch it long enough I’ll see Abed delivering a baby back there somewhere.

The only way to react to this video of a guy pulling an Andre Agassi on the ping pong court is to shout “oyy!” The shot comes to us courtesy of Hot Clicks by way of The Score, and there is literally zero context provided, so I don’t know if these happened in real life or was a Powerade commercial or what.

All I can pick up using my Batman-like deductive reasoning skills is that one of the guys is a person (see, down in the bottom left) and the game was featured on AFTONBLADET, which either means “afternoon leaf” or “this comes on after Blade 2.” Good old Aftonbladet, with their catchy slogan, “Sveriges nyhetskälla och mötesplats.”

Pro-tip: You can recreate this amazing shot in a game of Pong by turning your back to the screen, then hurling the Atari controller over your shoulder.

I can’t find the email of the person that sent this to me, but their service and example shine on nevertheless. If you’re not familiar with the New York- and Sydney-based Glue Society, that’s all about to change. The self-anointed “creative collective” was charged with the task of creating a music video for “Bastard,” an electronica track from the Lithuanian band Metal on Metal. And this is what they came up with: two Asian chicks slapping around a hand grenade while rich people look on from behind a blast shield. It’s very stylish, if technically incorrect. The handle would have flown off of that grenade as soon as the pin was pulled, and that would have ignited the fuse. Eh, who cares. It’s a badass video. Just watch it after the jump.

UPDATE: This is the actual video.

Bruce Lee is one of those rare icons of film that was as badass in real life as he was in his movies. I heard that one time he caught a bullet in between his asscheeks while he was procreating with a stegasaurus. Unfortunately, that wasn’t caught on tape, but this was: It’s a pair of older Nokia ads featuring Bruce [allegedly] playing ping pong with nunchaku and I hate to sound impressed, but I’m impressed. And if that wasn’t enough for you, he then tapes a piece of sandpaper to his ‘chuks and lights a cigarette with them. I actually tried that once in a bar. My results weren’t exactly similar. via Roger Ebert’s blog, via @Enrico_Pallazo_

I know absolutely nothing about this video, other than the fact that kid’s two great loves seem to be slapping white balls and grunting. Call me when you turn 18, homegirl.

I believe it was the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu that coined the expression, “From doing one thing well, do many things well.” What he meant was that one should take the discipline, passion and craftsmanship one utilizes in his primary trade and apply that to other areas of one’s life. I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean painting art, jogging on a treadmill, and playing ping-pong all at the same time. Or maybe he did. Those Chinese are a wacky bunch.
