Afternoon Meme: Flaming Tennis Balls, Minions, Jake Gyllenhall, Wimpy Kids, and Parkour Fail

FunnyOrDie.com finally made a video that wasn't so filled with f-bombs that we were afraid to even link to it. This one is Bavatar, in which babies transfer their minds to an adult to take over our kitchens and get access to our limitless supply of applesauce.

In spite of Steve Carrell's involvement, I remain fascinated by the Minions of Despicable Me, and taking them from cartoon form to live action for the Olympics didn't make them any less adorable. I want minions to do my bidding!

ITN brings us highlights from this week's Brit Awards with Lady GaGa, JLS, Lily Allen and more. I love the web, it lets us get reporting globally. I had no idea how the pink camo backup squad entered the stage for Lily's performance until now.

This is one of the stranger animations I've run across when looking at short films. It's called Lights Out, but I fail to see what the title has to do with the video itself. Still, I was mesmerized.

I hate to contribute to anything Jay Leno related, but it occurs to me that him succeeding at 11:35pm is good for scripted television. Plus, I love the car and think the commercial was really quite clever.

This clip is called "Times" and it's from an upcoming feature film called Let's Go Get Lost which appears to be about seeing the world. This clip takes place primarily in Munich, but they also hit Tokyo, Portland, Beijing, New York and Barcelona. Makes me want to pack a bag. I don't even know what the movie is really about, but I want to go see it.

I don't watch much Bravo, but I did recall Cheyenne Jackson had mentioned being on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Here, he and Andy feel up the only housewife in Orange County that still has natural boobs. That was a sentence I never expected to type.

I had missed this clip after the Haiti telethon of out musician Matt Morris speaking of his "deep musical connection" to Justin Timberlake, which sounds like a bromance for the ages. Look out Phil & Lem! (and nameless Scrubs bromance wannabees)

Today in trailers, we have Shia in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps looking more like he did on Even Stevens than he has in years. The most interesting thing I saw in this clip was his bed spread, which I really liked.

There's a new featurette out for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Unfortunately, it focuses on the world building and not on Jake Gyllenhaal's abs. Still, I'm fascinated that they decided to build a Morrocan city right outside a Morrocan city. Hollywood folks are unique.

I had featured a teaser trailer for Diary of a Wimpy Kid a while back, and we all liked it. This clip, called cheese, deals with the issues of popularity, and discusses what things are worse than "nuclear cooties."

In random viral videos we start with my love of parkour (and military men). The thing is, for every smooth, cool parkour video, there's probably a take or two that didn't go as well - you just never see those. Today you do.

These kids got their hands on a pitching machine, some tennis balls, and fire. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?

To close out, I've been so worried about cats taking over the world, especially when they appeared to join forces with monkeys to gain opposable thumbs. That may have all been a giant conspiracy to distract us from the human-dog hybrids we should really be worried about.
