The internet runs on two things: GIFs and Batman (strangely, not so much on GIFs of Batman). So instead of Batman, here are five skateboarding tricks, which, since Batman isn't real, are the second most awesome thing in the universe. (The first is dames!) And keep searching for GIFs of Batman on a skateboard.
This young fellow doesn't know he isn't Batman and forward-flips down an entire flight of cement stairs.

The internet is awash in self-explanatory GIFs that people will recognize as "popular media character acting like said popular media character," "beautiful woman being a beautiful woman," "surprising candid reaction," "person injuring themselves/another person" and "animal doing something animal-like"...you know, universal stuff. Occasionally, there arises a GIF that defies explanation. No matter how many times you watch, it bends your mind. These, friends, are those GIFs from TV and movies.

A pratfall is specifically plopping down on one's ass. No face-plants here. We compiled the best fall-down-go-boom shots because we care about your well-being, and laughter is the best medicine. No, that's a lie: Antivirals are the best medicine. We only did this to point at people and laugh at them while they're down. We're terrible human beings.
A skateboard? Can't imagine how this young man will end up on his tuchus. Well, that's a lie, but we didn't expect what happens after his rail-slide (or is that fail-slide?) on a table goes vertical.
From fashion models to zombie women to cosplay babes to the animated kind--it's been quite a year for sexiness. But sexiness is wherever you find it, even if that means you have a thing for dirty female feet (possibly NSFW, definitely NSFL). Without further ado, we hereby proudly present the sexiest photo galleries we've run this past year.

When we decided to run Victoria's Secret models in goofy outfits, there were a lot of crazy wings, cartoon colors and queen bee bustles, but Shannan Click not only wore an outfit that would look better on the hood of a Pontiac Firebird, she made us wish the costume belonged to a real character that we could write inappropriate slash-fiction about it. (Or just slash fiction, if you want to avoid redundancy.)

Animals--they're just like us! They're afraid of humans (except when they attack), they take care of their kids (except when they eat them) and they have large antlers growing out of their foreheads. But the way animals are most like people is that the majority of them are jerks. Just check out this collection of our furry and finny friends showing no concept of fair play. Or maybe, like most jerks, they know what it is and just don't care.

After 20 years of hustling and rustling, the Insane Clown Posse has built a substantial, dedicated and equally insane following. They go by the name Juggalos. While many outsiders are unaware of this subculture or see it as a punch line, 2011 has been a huge year for Juggalos and they've truly started to become part of the mainstream. Big name celebrities are now showing up at their annual Gathering and nearly anything involving Juggalos goes viral online. Here's a look back at the year that future history books may refer to as "Year of the Juggalo," with this dysfunctional family's most triumphant moments.

The English metalcore band Asking Alexandria has built an particularly zealous fan base through relentless touring over the past three years. Their sophomore release, 2011's Reckless & Relentless, reached number nine on the Billboard 200 and got them their American TV debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." While still a relatively young band, they have already racked up more hard knocks and rock star stories than we'll ever have. The band's lead guitarist Ben Bruce was nice enough to share a few tales of booze, boobs, Bon Jovi and Big Macs. Thank the rock gods there are still bands like these blokes.

In a sport as old as Shakespeare, it's no surprise the fairer sex has a long history of looking damn good while playing. It’s probably the most we’ll ever support wantonly smacking balls. Tennis players spend all day in a total body workout, wear ponytails and miniskirts, and grunt emphatically with every strike. Also, a great number are from Eastern Europe, a sector known for cold climes and hot women.
Here’s a look at the evolution of the Lovely Lady Tennis Player in our time.

Lady killer Henry Kissinger (ask yer ma) famously said "Power is an aphrodisiac," and since he's a Machiavellian troll who gets excited to bomb people, we have to assume all other charms were excluded from his success. So with that in mind, The Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women list is out, and we thought we'd depart from our usual "But is she hot?" shallowness to assess our attraction based on fresh new "But is she powerful?" shallowness. Here are six accomplished women.

The good: There's going to be a Kanye West musical!
The bad: It will affirm everything he tells himself about himself in the mirror each morning. Curse you, West, for being as good as you won't stop saying you are!
Phillip Roser and Damien Higginbottom, both university students in Sydney, Australia, have written and produced "Kanye West: The Musical"--THE most important biographical musical since "Jesus Christ: Superstar," with the difference being Christ didn't take his work quite as seriously as Kanye does. They promise, "It won't let the truth get in the way and will be a lot of fun."
Seven original (non-West-written) songs are in the offing, promising to adhere tightly to the megastar's audio style. So...they're going to break out a rhyming dictionary and exhaust every possible word combination before the hook drops? We kid!
The Sydney University production is scheduled to run Sept. 5 to Sept. 7, but will likely hit the stage earlier than expected to interrupt the Taylor Swift musical running this week.
