In the week before The Olympics, it's natural for the comedy Twitterati to fire their barbs - if that's something you can do with barbs - in the direction of Lord Sebastian Coeca-Cola and rest of World's Sports Day, inc.

Elsewhere, George "110%" Osbourne is the butt of a...

There have been many Coca-Cola adverts over the years, but this one is a bit of a beauty, boasting as it does a brand-new trick shot sport: straw throwing.

That is to say, the art (and sport) of throwing a straw into a glass. That can be done via set-up...

James Bond, Ethan Hunt, Jason Bourne... take note of this sneaky dog here - you could learn a thing or two.

Sure, on one occasion he appears to get startled and yes, he's not using the most orthodox spying techniques known to man (or dog, for that matter), but...

We've all had bad photographs taken of us - and as you'll see from the picture gallery below, mug shots seem to be a nigh-on guaranteed way of achieving one - but one Georgia woman wasn't going to stand for it when a mug shot of hers appeared in a...

A good viral video can raise a smile. A great viral video can make you go a little bit giddy and clap your hands and dance about and generally make a fool of yourself in front of your co-workers.

Here at the Huffington Post UK Comedy, we make it...

Most people prefer to be woken up by alarm clocks, or a cup of tea, or a full English breakfast - but for one unlucky cul-de-sace in Harrogate, Yorkshire, they recently got an early wake-up call from a herd of cows.

Taking a different route from their normal morning...

This video may have been shot two years ago during the World Cup, but only now has it emerged online - and it's a cracker... even though it happens to involve someone parking their car.

You see, though positioning your vehicle in an appropriate roadside bay may not be...

We've previously seen ThePetCollective crew recreate Adele's Rolling In The Deep using dogs, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before they got around to One Direction.

For those of you who are lucky enough to not know who One Direction...

You know stereotypical evil bosses in Hollywood movies? How they say things like, "I need this yesterday!"? Well, imagine if Amazon.com actually offered that service: the "I need that yesterday" service...

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what it would be like. Possibly. Maybe. Perhaps.

Essentially the Inception...

Why hire a truck when you can just shove huge planks of wood through your car's backseat windows, eh?

A bemused driver spotted this unusual transportation technique when he was pootling along a Vladivostok road recently, taking it upon himself to record the incident on his mobile phone.

Now we would describe this as "the world's scariest hotel" - but a) that makes it sound like a haunted, Dracula-style residence; and b) this isn't, in fact a hotel, but a 'revolutionary bivouc'.

Perched high up in the Alps on the approach to Mont Blanc, it's called '

In southern Alaska there's a town called Talkeetna. As well as having a beautiful name, it's also got a beautiful mayor - well, if you appreciate feline beauty, at any rate.

The 15-year-old moggy has been mayor of the town for, well, 15 years now, getting the...

Apparently - and we're not 100% sure on this one - there's a big sports day coming along sometime soon. The Olympics, or something? Hmm, maybe.

But whether or not something along those lines is taking place in the near future, we can officially bring you news...

The screengrab for this YouTube video makes it look like it's pretty grisly, but it really isn't. Scout's honour. In fact, it's really rather adorable.

It's just that the YouTuber who uploaded the clip - that's CamelAndFriends, who we've previously seen with her bouncing, Tigger-like...

Dogs are very curious animals. Perhaps not quite as curious as cats, admittedly, but still pretty goshdarn curious - and here's laundry-based proof involving a jumper, a Dachshund and a giggling dog owner.

As you may have guessed, this Petsami clip sees an inquisitive pooch...

Some videos on YouTube are so extraordinary, you can barely believe what you're seeing. This is one of those videos, and trust us, it's going to set your heart racing.

Recorded on a truck driver's dashboard camera as he drove through Orenburg, Russia, it shows an incredible...

If there were a Guinness World Record for 'longest fence to fall over at one time' - and from our experience, it's only a matter of time before that actually becomes a real record - then this blunder from Jinhua City, in China's Zhejiang Province, should be the...

If you were asked to list performance-enhancing substances, horse meat probably wouldn't be at the top of your list - but this is the Kazakh Olympic Team we're talking about, and they do things a little differently.

Currently attempting to negociate the strict import rules on foodstuffs to the...

Xena is a mini pig. Jazz is a Quaker parrot. Together, they are the best of friends, living together in their owner's home in Brisbane, Australia. Happy, wonderful, incredibly cute days.

But as well as being, you know, from different species, the 5-month-old Xena...

Before you click play on the video above, you may want to re-read the title of this post. That's right, it's Boris's cable car vs. Vince Cable's car. Clever, eh?

Sure, the Boris and Vince look-a-likes in this spoof advert for the new Emirates Air Line cable car...
