Video: If Han Shot First
Host Conan O’Brien recently featured an unedited clip from Star Wars: A New Hope on Conan that finally settles the long-standing controversy over who shot first in the Mos Eisley Cantina, Han Solo or Greedo.
Video: Never Seen Star Wars
In a comedy sketch by Dad Dudes, Ryan O’Quinn and Todd Wilkerson are shocked when they learn their buddy Matt Reithmayr has never seen any of the Star Wars movies and has been misinterpreting his friend’s references to the franchise for years.
Video: She's Never Seen Star Wars?!
Would it be a deal breaker for you if your blind date had never seen Star Wars?

Humor: Neil deGrasse Tyson Cameo
Neil deGrasse Tyson Cameo by Brooklyn Nine-Nine s03e09
Typically, I regard gifsets with nothing but contempt, but for Neil deGrasse Tyson I will make an exception every day of the week. The man is a national treasure. The look of smug satisfaction on Tyson's face when Terry introduces him by his title in the fourth gif is priceless.
Humor: Better Harry Potter Intro
Created by Peter Chiykowski and Aaron Plants for EpicStream
Has it ever occurred to anyone else that the kindest thing to do for Harry would have been to leave him ignorant of the magic world? He wouldn't have spent seven years in a constant state of danger. He would have had the peace of mind of not knowing his parents were murdered. Plus, he would have lived a whole hell of a lot longer, seeing as Voldemort would never have managed to resurrect himself without knowing where Harry was.

Music Video: Science Wars
"Science Wars" by AsapSCIENCE
An acapella musical tribute to the sciences that parodies the songs of the Star Wars series. Physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics are each represented by a different theme as they battle for scientific supremacy.
Video: Darth Vader Interview
The Fort Worth, Texas, Police Department has created a clever recruitment video that features Darth Vader horribly failing in an interview for a position on their force. The powerful Sith Lord’s noticeable breathing problem and dark side trickery just don’t cut it.
Video: Darth Vader Cat
Filmmaker Kaipo Jones of Kaipotainment has created “Darth Vader Cat,” a special effects video of an angry feline who dons a Darth Vader mask and takes on its owner in a frisky lightsaber battle. Vader cat ends the battle by blowing up its master’s house with a TIE fighter, with him in it.

Video: BigHead Hunger Games
With so many parody videos out there that just seem to fall flat, it's
rare to find one that's actually funny. Welp, Zoran Gvojic has captured
lightning in a bottle with his "Bighead" take on poking at Hollywood
films. While this film was my first glimpse into Zoran's bighead empire,
if you get a kick out of it, then fly over to his JURASSIC PARK parody, his YouTube Channel, and Facebook page!
Video: The Hobbit: Dance Battle
This video features an unexpected dance off featuring Sean Astin as a bar tender in a STEP UP style dance-off.

Humor: Gandalf was really just fighter with INT18
Redditor TheGlen offered up a novel theory on the D&D Subreddit earlier this year. He proposes the head canon that Gandalf wasn't actually a wizard, but rather, a high-level fighter with the intelligence to use a magic device to front as a wizard. He backs his head canon with some plausible but seriously trippy reasoning. His argument starts like this:
"Gandalf lied, he was no wizard. He was clearly a high level fighter that had put points in the Use Magic Device skill allowing him to wield a staff of wizardry. All of his magic spells he cast were low level, easily explained by his ring of spell storing and his staff. For such an epic level wizard he spent more time fighting than he did casting spells. He presented himself as this angelic demigod, when all he was a fighter with carefully crafted PR.The best part, though, is that another Redditor calling himself ShazzikinZ takes the theory and runs with it. In his thread, he delves deeper into Gandalf's motivations, proposing that "LOTR is just the story of the skeevy homeless stoner from The Hobbit getting clean and trying to atone for all the shit he caused while High."
His combat feats were apparent. He has proficiency in the long sword, but he also is a trained dual weapon fighter. To have that level of competency to wield both weapons you are looking at a dexterity of at least 17, coupled with the Monkey Grip feat to be able to fight with a quarter staff one handed in his off hand at that. Three dual weapon fighting feats, monkey grip, and martial weapon proficiency would take up 5 of his 7 feats as a wizard, far too many to be an effective build. That's why when he faced a real wizard like Sarumon, he got stomped in a magic duel. He had taken no feats or skills useful to a wizard. If he had used his sword he would have carved up Sarumon without effort.
The spells he casts are all second level or less. He casts spook on Bilbo to snap him out his ring fetish. When he's trapped on top of Isengard an animal messenger spell gets him help. Going into Moria he uses his staff to cast light. Facing the Balrog all he does is cast armor. Even in the Two Towers his spells are limited. Instead of launching a fireball into the massed Uruk Hai he simply takes 20 on a nature check to see when the sun will crest the hill and times his charge appropriately."
Humor: Jessica Jone Pun
I didn't notice this line from Netflix's Jessica Jone series until Tumblr pointed it out twenty times in under an hour on my dash. Poor David Tennant.
Humor: I Am Fear
Two things to avoid while striking fear into the hearts of criminals:
1.) Bringing along a small teenage boy
2.) Dressing that teenage boy in a bright yellow and green circus costume.
