What do you get when you combine Pi, a hula hoop, and a Rubik’s Cube? Awesome, that’s what.

Father of parkour (the French discipline of overcoming any physical obstacle in your path), David Belle makes old Spidey above look like a slowpoke. This mini highlight reel video showcases his brand of free running that’s made him such a hot commodity as a Hollywood stuntman.

We bet Alexander Overwijk’s pupils try to get him to perform his circle-drawing skills every lesson to avoid work, but we only need this one recording to enjoy it again and again on YouTube.

28 million views later and it’s still hard to believe that “Scratch” is making all these sounds vocally. It’s safe to say that this vid is a masterclass in human beatboxing and scratching.

It’s best not to question why you’d want to be the world’s fastest clapper. Just hit play on the video and be amazed at what 14 claps per second looks like on film.

In 2008, Erik Akkersdijk broke a world record by solving the Rubik’s Cube puzzle in a tad over seven seconds. This clip captures the notable feat. Well, the first 20 or so seconds do — the rest is a bit of blur, which can perhaps be explained by the cameraman’s astonishment.

You may think you’ve seen some tidy breakdancing moves in the past, but until you’ve seen “Junior’s” attempts, you quite simply ain’t seen nothing yet.

Mr. MacAskill is a BMX god, and his stunt bike abilities need to be seen to be believed. We love how this video draws you in with some failed stunts at first, only to leave your jaw on the floor towards the end.

We wouldn’t be surprised if this guy had sold his very soul to the devil, his fiddling skills are so amazing. Hit play now for the fastest rendition of “Flight of the Bumblebee” you’re ever likely to hear without first pressing “fast forward.”

“Professional Opportunist” James Brown has cultivated a style of close-up magic that incorporates sleight of hand, pick pocketing, and English charisma. Watch gleefully as he confuses an old lady with some slick coin and card tricks.

Illusionist Cyril Takayama is known for his performances throughout Japan, elsewhere in Asia, and on American television. This clip features a crafty disappearing cigarette that comes and goes between Takayama’s fingers.

Kids: Don’t get into cigarettes, unless you plan to make them disappear like this guy.

It’s the self-proclaimed “best,” but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. In one of the most-viewed card trick videos on YouTube, the anonymous magician asks the Internet to “pick a card, any card,” and shuffles up some impressive results.

You know that a YouTube video has become famous when it has its own Wikipedia page. That is the case for the Battle at Kruger. The video was shot in September of 2004 at a watering hole in Kruger National Park, located in South Africa. It shows an epic real life battle between a pride of lions, a herd of Cape buffalo, and one or two crocodiles. It all begins when the lions attack one of the baby buffalo and tackle it into the river. While the lions are trying to finish off their meal, a crocodile grabs onto the buffalo and tries to take it. The lions prevail and pull the buffalo from the water only to then be attacked by the herd. It is truly an amazing clip that shows an animal’s true struggle for survival.

On December 26, 2004 a 9.3 earthquake struck off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. What followed was a devastating tsunami that traveled all along most coasts of the Indian Ocean. It was one of the most deadly natural disasters in recorded history and more than 225,000 people were killed in eleven different countries. The hardest hit areas were Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. There were many sad and terrifying videos taken of the tsunami as it struck the mainland. Beach resorts and tourist attractions were hit first in many instances. This clip shows a couple of different videos of the tsunami as it reached land. It truly gives you a sense of the deadly power of this disaster. Watch as the ocean completely engulfs a large pool at a beach-front hotel.

Paul is a British tenor who won the first series of Britain’s Got Talent. Before the competition he was a mobile phone salesman. This video shows his rendition of “Nessun Dorma,” which immediately made him the front-runner on the show. You can see Simon Cowell laughing at him before he begins and then enter into a state of shock as Potts performs. This is one of the most popular videos in YouTube history. Paul was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show whose topic was YouTube videos. After winning the competition Potts went on a massive world tour, consisting of 97 concerts in 85 cities spanning 23 countries. Paul Potts first album One Chance was a multi-platinum masterpiece. It reached the #1 spot in 13 different countries around the world, proof positive that everyone can enjoy some good opera music. A similar scenario took place with Susan Boyle.

It was the United States’ 25th official space shuttle launch and the Challenger’s tenth trip into space. It was a special mission and included American teacher Christa McAuliffe, who won a contest to participate in the NASA Teacher in Space Project. The Challenger mission was delayed many times and finally was set to launch on January 28, 1986. Sadly, 73 seconds into the launch the Challenger broke apart and exploded leading to the death of all seven crew members. It was later determined that the accident occurred when a faulty O-ring seal on its right rocket booster failed. The failure allowed a plume of flame to explode out of the rocket booster and damage the external fuel tank and attachment struts. By that time it was too late to save the shuttle. It was one of the most costly and tragic accidents in United States history and was all caught live on television.

In 1969, John Rendall and Anthony Bourke purchased a baby lion from Harrods department store of London. They raised Christian for a year and then ultimately had him released back into the wild. After hearing that he had been successfully reintroduced to his natural habitat they took an expedition to Kenya to visit their lion. It was one year later and the men were accompanied by a documentary film crew. Many conservationists warned Rendall and Bourke that Christian would not remember them. The reunion that ensues is touching to the heart. Christian cautiously approaches, but then runs and jumps into the men’s arms. The documentary also shows two female lions and one foster cub that are friendly with the crew. With many tragedies on this list I figured a light-hearted story of friendship would fit nicely.

Ethiopian Flight 961 was hijacked on November 23, 1996 by three Ethiopians who were seeking political asylum. Flashing a fake bomb, the attackers demanded that the flight be re-routed to Australia. The pilot explained that there was not enough fuel on board to make that trip, but the hijackers ignored him. Secretly, the pilot headed towards the Comoro Islands, which are halfway between Madagascar and the African mainland. The plane was nearly out of fuel as it approached the Island group. The pilot was forced to ditch in the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean of the Coast of Grand Comoro Island. As the plane landed, a coral reef hit the engine causing the plane to spin to the left and break apart. Tragically, 125 of the 175 passengers and crew aboard were killed in the accident. A tourist recorded this video later proclaiming that she thought the 767 aircraft was part of a surprise air show. It might be the most clear and devastating plane crash video ever taken.

This is an amazing and simple scientific experiment featured on the show Mythbusters. Everyone knows what happens when someone inhales helium, their voice gets high and squeaky for a couple of seconds. Adam Savage decides to see what happens when he inhales sulfur hexafluoride, which is much denser then air and has the exact opposite effect as helium. Basically, it will make your voice sound deeper and like you are from the dark side. This video demonstration is hilarious as Adam inhales both helium and sulfur hexafluoride.

Mike Parsons is one of the most amazing athletes on the planet. He is a big wave surfer and one of the best at his profession. He was made famous by this video which shows him riding a 65 ft. wave off the beaches of Jaws, Hawaii. The footage was filmed from a helicopter and is 100% real. At the time, it was the biggest wave ever surfed, but Parson’s broke his own record in 2008 at Cortes Bank. He has numerous extreme surfing videos, including Billabong Odyssey, which I recommend.
