Late September. Winter turned up early. The online community takes a collective breath post-Jepsen and waits for the next infectious phenomenon that might be mated with Star Wars references and an aggravated führer.

Don’t mind them, my pretty. Let’s waste a little time looking at the latest snark and photobombs.

Deep Space 5,500

NASA has released the deepest image of the universe ever taken. 5,5oo galaxies. No Instagram filter. Amazing.
Bad Lip Reading have worked their LOL-magic on the Hunger Games.
Sarah Silverman made a [NSFW] political plea to her fellow Americans. So did Samuel L Jackson. US elections are funny.
Call Me Maybe mashed up with R Kelly’s Ignition is better than it has any right to be.
Alien’s Cast of Characters list is unisex and splendid.
The Avengers have been re-imagined in the style of Tim Burton. Skinny.
Meanwhile, that’s an odd request for Captain America [NSFW].

I DIE, I DIE

1973 saw the global peak of death-scene acting. Werq it, actor.

No, Mickey

The effects of drugs, Disney-style.
Nick Fury sends memos. Because even Avengers have paperwork.
What has Game of Thrones been mashed up with this week? Bob’s Burgers. GOOD.
Let’s pretend Gangnam Style is still happening in order to crowbar in this Han Solo version. Still over it? Try PSY dancing impressively to Single Ladies.
Julia lost 160lbs in one year. Watch her shrink in a few changing room mirror photos.
These living paintings are fascinating and lovely.

The furry corner

Grumpy cat is not having any of it. I swear I’ve shared meeting rooms with its human incarnation.
The stakes are rising in the Stingray photobomb game.
A caterpillar is apparently like X-Box for gorillas.
Baby ape (complete with nappy) has the very life of his cat-mate.
I wonder what Barack Obama would look like, riding a lion and brandishing a crossbow. Oh.
