Season 5 episodes (10)

1 Like a Boss
1/9/16
Find out how to do it like a boss. Features a record-breaking butt skipper, a woman restraining four motorcycles, and the fastest downhill bike ride ever. These guys reveal the very best of human ingenuity and perseverance by doing it like a boss.
2 Is This for Real?
1/16/16
We separate science fact from science fiction. From a woman who walks on water and a man that pumps up inner tubes with his ears, our experts ask "are they for real?," and expose the internet's best tricksters.
3 Man vs. Nature
1/23/16
We're pitting Man vs. Nature. When a glass-breaking gorilla and a speed-racing sea lion face off against a snowman in the desert and an underwater wheelchair, who comes out on top?
4 Epic Skills
1/23/16
We countdown the clips that show off the Internet legends with the most epic skills on the planet: the world's most incredible skin, the world's first tattooing toes, and a speed flier that lands inside a moving cable car.
5 Homemade Hotshots
2/6/16
We're counting down the most amazing -- and dangerous -- home experiments! We're mixing electricity with swimming pools, racing supercharged golf carts on the dragway, and setting off homemade gunpowder to finally crown the top homemade hotshot.
6 Wild Rides
2/13/16
In this episode it's not the destination that counts, it's how you get there. And the stranger the better. We're snowboarding in the clouds, quad bike riding with a koala, and looping a car in a sphere.
7 Brain vs. Brawn
2/20/16
In this episode mind and body go head to head as we pit Brain vs Brawn! We're smashing fruit with a 9-inch nail launcher, building and destroying a giant sandcastle, and kissing cobras.
8 Killer Builds
2/27/16
We're displaying mechanical marvels and eccentric engineering as we count down the best builds on the web. Showing off a seafaring super car, bees that can 3D print, and the jet powered wings that make man fly.
9 Facepalm
3/5/16
We're turning epic fails into epic wins! In our search for the most cringe-worthy clips on the Internet, we witness a close call with a humpback whale, a plane that flies with circular wings, painful ant bites, and a glow stick explosion.
10 Shock and Awesome
3/12/16
Prepare to be shocked as we count down the most surprising and unexpected clips on the internet. There's a communicating crow, a super speedy tractor, a silly putty axe, a monster crane lift, and a surfing motorcycle.

When I let my students have a study hall to catch up or after exams, this is perfect to put on. They love the funny videos and I love the science.
