1) Simon Tofield, “Simon’s Cat in Springtime”

2) YouTube Comedy, “Presidential Debate / The Voice Mashup”

3) My Damn Channel, “Way too cute—Status Kill”

Denton Sparks has a problem with your status message: It’s too damn cute. And if you don’t knock it off with those pictures of your puppies, he’s gonna have to make a move. You don’t want to have to mess with a madman like Denton Sparks.

4) Timothy De La Ghetto and RZA, “Chunk Dirty Returns”

The Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA stops by De La Ghetto’s studio to teach the young rapper a few lessons about what it means to be an MC. (Warning: NSFW. Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nuthin’ to f**k with.)

Revving up excitement for the Oct. 31 3-D release of Frankenweenie, YouTube mashup maestro Symphony of Science (né John D. Boswell) concocting this Auto Tune remix that only begins to tell Burton’s epic tale.
