Why Do People Vote For Ukip? Russell Howard Has Some Ideas...

Millions Of Britons Left Spiritually Empty After Buying Crap They Didn't Need On Black Friday

People across Britain have been left feeling confused and spiritually bereft after buying stuff they didn't need because it was cheaper than usual.



This follow-up to Black Friday is known as 'Blue Monday', and it is thought to be the first time that Britons have experienced it.



"I completely failed to observe Thanksgiving on Thursday, because I'm not American," one shopper explained to HuffPost UK Comedy.



"As a result, I just fell into the Black Friday sales without being given any kind of context. I had no idea that material goods would fail to give me the spiritual sustenance I need."



Another shopper told us: "I was truly thankful for everything I had on Thursday. But then on Friday I suddenly realised I really, really needed a 40-inch television.



"I thought it would make me happy. I had no idea there would still be a gaping hole at the core of my being."



Britons are being encouraged to gain a sense of perspective by returning the items they purchased within 28 days, preferably to a charity shop.

Brain Teaser 12/1/2014

You are a cook in a remote area with no clocks or other way of keeping time other than a four minute sandglass timer and a seven minute sandglass timer. (The kind you turn over - hourglass shaped) You do have a stove, however, with water in a pot already boiling. Somebody asks you for a nine-minute egg, and you know this person is a perfectionist and will be able to tell if you undercook or overcook the eggs by even a few seconds. What is the least amount of time it will take to prepare the egg? And how will you prepare it so that it is neither undercooked or overcooked?

Puppy Wakes Up And Starts Singing Along To 'Let It Go'

We're used to videos of people performing songs from 'Frozen' in their cars. Check out these parents, for example. And these brothers.



But here's a car-based 'Frozen' video with a difference. Starring, as it does, a dog.



Yes, the song 'Let It Go' may have captured children and adults like during 2014 - but it turns out the animal kingdom is not immune to its charms, either.



It's this puppy's favourite song, for example. Watch what happens when his owners change the track playing on the car stereo...

The Muppets Perform 'Hip Hop Hooray' By Naughty By Nature, And It's Glorious

To say that we're a fan of Adam Schleichkorn's - aka Mylo The Cat's - videos is something of an understatement. He's already brought us The Muppets singing The Beastie Boys, Pharrell Williams and Miley Cyrus and more (see below).



And in his latest glorious mashup, he's got Kermit, Fozzie Bear and co performing the Naughty By Nature classic 'Hip Hop Hooray'. And as you'll see, the starring roles go to Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear. (Hip hop) hooray!
