Here at Asylum HQ we've literally got dozens of people on the look out for the very best in pedestrians vs. car near miss videos. And by 'dozens' we of course mean 'some', and they've found a doozy of a close call for you to check out today. Details are thin on the ground, but what we do know is that we've definitely got a contender for ludicrously-close-call of the year. Plus, with that oil ...

Dunk fails, slam dunk fails, epic slam dunk fails -- whatever you want to call them, we love it when a bozo flaps at the rim and comes back down to earth with nothing but embarrassment. Asylum can dunk by the way. No seriously, we can. All of us can. It's one of the statutory requirements for employment at Asylum heights. Fine then, don't believe us, but know this: we take the art of the ...

Little babies are adorable buggers, aren't they? Well, the internet seems to thinks so, and after looking through our "Kids will laugh at anything" post, we can't help but agree. So here's another video clip of a cute wee tot doing what cute wee tots do... giggling. Oh, and looking very scared, milliseconds afterwards. The reason for the scarediness? Mummy is blowing her nose – and it ...

We wish we could just post this video for you to look at without any preamble, but it does require a little explaining. You see, a recent 'female' contestant on Thailand's Got Talent shocked the living daylights out of the judges... after she sang with a man's voice -- as well as a woman's. As you'll see from around one minute into the clip below, a very pretty young lady is about to sing ...

Superheroes are bigger than themselves. They mean something. They belong to the world. And they don't have a choice about that. Andrew W.K. is as close as New York City has to a real-life superhero. He is also a musician, rock-star, television personality, motivational speaker and de facto guru. First introduced to the world by his 2001 album of party-metal anthems 'I Get Wet' (and its ...

The time has come to say goodbye. There were robots and nerdy burlesques and everything Star Wars. We gave you A Woman's Perspective and had Drinks With Writers. Olivia Munn pranked our intern. We banned Megan Fox and encouraged women to have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache. After today, we leave these beats behind and move into the future (where there are almost certainly robot hookers). Over ...

You already know we love Betty White. This week, America's favorite grandma turned 89. To celebrate, here's a video of the time Asylum's Ron Babcock got to hang out with Betty on the set of "Hot in Cleveland," where she gave him some advice on romancing older women. if(typeof AOLVP_cfg==='undefined')AOLVP_cfg=[];AOLVP_cfg.push({id:'AOLVP_88384028001','codever':0.1, 'autoload':false, ...

Humorous moments during the recent Australian floods have been few and far between, but this definitely is one. How so? Inflatable sex dolls ... being used as rafts. Two teenagers decided that, lacking any better form of flotation device, they should just go ahead and use some blow-up sex dolls instead. Until, that is, police saw them and told them not to. Victoria's Yarra River was where ...

Remember that movie "Conspiracy Theory," where Mel Gibson played the crazy guy with those ridiculous theories about society and the government -- and then he ended up being right? We do. And that, along with our heightened sense of distrust and our penchant for reading between the lines, is why we were a little skeptical about the initial reason we were told for why Asylum is being shut down ...

Based on a very unscientific straw poll we took, a bunch of you out there have never heard of whiskey stones. And, no, that's not a euphemism for how badass you feel after you've had five glasses of Scotch on the rocks. Whiskey stones are apparently a pretty badass way to keep your Scotch chilled without watering it down. Better yet, why don't we let sexy Heidi from our friends at Rotocade tell ...
