Digital Trends’ top 5 viral videos of May 6, 2011

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

Ninja Dog Attacks Cat

Where to begin with this one. The dog—which looks like it is half cow—decides to take a lesson from her rival, the cat, and go stealth. Like Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell, the enemy agent (the cat) is caught completely unaware as the dog attacks. The cat was fine, but if felines have pride, this one’s just took a whuppin’.

Obama TKOs Trump

It was a big week for President Obama. Last week he released the long form of his birth-certificate, to which possible Presidential rival Donald Trump ended his attacks just long enough to take credit for forcing the release. Then this week, Obama walked up to the microphones with a bit of a swagger and announced the death of Osama Bin Laden. But between the two events, he had time to rip Trump, and a handful of others a new one at the annual Press Dinner. If this were Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, you might be able to see the “TKO” over Trump’s head as the last jokes hit.

Snowmobiles and Gravity are Not BFFs

In the following video, this guy not only wipes out his snowmobile, he wipes the hell out of it, and is then forced to watch as it continues to wreck all the way down the mountain.

Taiwan Recreates Osama Bin Laden’s Lifestyle

The people responsible for the classic Tiger Woods domestic incident animation and the Darth Jobs clip are back to recreate what Bin Laden’s life was like before he met SEAL Team Six. The inclusion of the American robots and their spaceship is anyone’s guess.

Why Parkour Fans are so Hard to Insure

You know when you watch a movie like Jackass and you see that disclaimer warning you “not to try these stunts at home”? These guys didn’t listen, much to the chagrin of hospitals and the joy of internet video fans.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
