In YouTube Right Now, the Daily Dot looks at videos that catch our eyes, push our buttons, and move our dials—and that you’ve just got to watch. Right now!

“I went to my local superstore and swapped their signage with more logical names for things,” he wrote on YouTube. “You’re welcome, Target.”

Check out the video, and then visit your local Target to stock up on “sound bagels.”
