Karoshi Suicide Salaryman

A 2D Mario-type side-scroller, but in this simple online game, you put your character into harm's way instead of avoiding it. Level after level, you try to impale, electrocute, crush or shoot your character with the intent of bringing about his untimely death.

Presidential Shocker?

The President making 'The Shocker' hand signal:

Note: There are some (damn you Gina and your Wikepedia articles!) who claim this hand signal is not the shocker, but a 'pitchfork'. You believe what you want to believe, and I will do the same.

Hot Chicks With Douchebags

How many times do you see a hot chick with a guy who is just a total jerk, and wonder what she sees in him? These are pictures of hot girls with the biggest douchebags of all time.
Guys with fake tans, manicures, wearing their hats stylishly askew, or guys pay far too much attention to their eyebrows (waxing, plucking, shaving) and usually posing with some manner of "gangsta", "boy band" or "PARTYYYY!!!" pose next to women who are much too hot to be with such a d-bag.

Don’t Shoot the Puppy!

A maddening game that shows just how difficult it is to do absolutely nothing. Once you start the game, you can't move the mouse until a cute little puppy has walked across the screen. If you DO move your mouse,a giant gun will shoot the cartoon puppy. With each subsequent level, the puppy moves slower and slower...

KISS Shreds!

KISS SHREDS!
The concept of 'shredding': Dub ridiculous new audio over concert footage of a rock band, but make it believable that the band is actually playing whatever dreck you have recorded. It's not easy to do. It's usually just done over a guitar solo, but this one of KISS 'Shredding' is one of the best, utilizing the whole band and the video of "I was made for Loving You":

I think I still like the flamenco 'Paco De Lucia Shreds' a little bit more. Watch and listen to the guy to the left of the screen starting around 1:33:

Hitler finds out about BYU’s loss to the University of Utah

Hitler finds out about BYU's recent loss to the 'U' and has a fit, yelling in German. Fortunately, the subtitles fill us in on his stream of consciousness rant.

Spoilers:

It's great to hear Hitler yell:
"Where's our reward for righteous living?"
and as he dejectedly comes to terms:
"I guess we'll always have our weekly firesides to hold before the games. We've never lost a fireside."

iPhone app: "Last Call" will measure your drunkenness

iPhone app "Last Call" seeks to let you know if you are drunk or not - before you get behind the wheel. I'm mostly mentioning it because of the concept since I suspect it's a little too complicated for a drunk person to use.
You enter what you are drinking, your body weight, how many drinks you have had and how long it has been since your last drink. It will even find listings of cabs companies or DUI attorneys. Rule of thumb: If you are able to enter the needed info into this application, then you are not drunk.
