With over 72 hours of footage uploaded every minute, it’s physically impossible to keep track of the content on YouTube. But in YouTube Guide, the Daily Dot will curate its five favorite finds for each workday.

1) Parker Posey, “Emmy Speech Master Class”

Building anticipation for this Sunday’s Primetime Emmy awards is actress Parker Posey, who willfully and self-deprecatingly assumes the role of JA,N (Just Act, Naturally), an actress so divine that she’s able to teach her own class on Emmy award acceptance speeches.

2) Matt & Mary, “Cheetos”

Want to learn a little bit about the inner workings of a true life American marriage? Tune in to Matt and Mary, the New York-based comedy couple who aren’t afraid to show you how they really live—with lots and lots of Cheetos.

3) Shut Up! Cartoons, “Tilt-a-Hurl (Really Freaking Embarrassing, Ep. 1)”

This new Shut Up! Cartoons series from Peter Hannan (“Cat Dog and the Great Parent Mystery”) finds a father telling the embarrassing story of the time he puked in front of his kids while riding on a tilt-a-whirl.

4) Not So Noisy, “Animated Tower”

Students at the University of Health Sciences in Switzerland used window shutters and some deft stop-motion editing to create this 4:42 animated illusion along their academic building.

5) Julia Mattison, “The Instagram Song”

Songwriter Julia Mattison and chipper blonde friend Sydney Nikols team up to write a song about how silly the notion of Instagramming photos actually is. “Let’s get brunch,” they sing. ” I want my eggs with hollandaise. Those’ll look good in a photo. Hashtag delicious.”
