  • -Hey, It's Jacob.

  • Every day we bring you the best videos around.

  • And today, we've got the secrets of the jellyfish sting.

  • -This is the sort of stuff that I get up in the morning for.

  • JACOB SOBOROFF: Princess Lauren's in the house.

  • And stop calling me cute!

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • -Oh my gosh!

  • -Anita Sarkeesian began her Tropes

  • versus Women in Video Game series a little over a year ago

  • and she just dropped her sixth installment.

  • Just a warning, this content is extremely graphic.

  • The episode focuses on women as background decoration

  • in popular games ranging from "Assassin's Creed" to "GTA V."

  • ANITA SARKEESIAN (VOICEOVER): Again, we

  • can compare the way the murdered male bodies are displayed

  • and notice the distinct a lack of sexualization

  • in their presentation.

  • The male corpses may be designed to evoke a sense of horror

  • or disgust, but it's not coupled with elements

  • of sexual titillation in the same way

  • that female bodies are.

  • -Anita has consistently received massive backlash

  • from some members of the gaming community.

  • But just two days after posting this episode

  • she received extremely explicit death threats

  • on herself and her family.

  • -We must remember that games don't just entertain.

  • Intentional or not, they always express a set of values

  • and present us with concepts of normalcy.

  • -The last time we featured Anita on our show

  • we got over 200 comments attacking us.

  • But that absolutely pales in comparison

  • to what she's experiencing.

  • Of course it's OK to have a difference of opinion,

  • but making somebody fear for their life is never acceptable.

  • We've got a link to our blog post below with more info.

  • -Hi guys, it's Lauren.

  • You might know me from my Vine or my channel.

  • I stumbled upon this video from SoulPancake.

  • They go in the street and they interview

  • a bunch of people asking them, what's

  • your definition of success?

  • -I define success by the amount of likes receive on Instagram.

  • -I guess how I would define it would be the smiles that I see

  • on my wife and kid's face each and every day I come home.

  • -I would describe it one word-- sincerity.

  • LAUREN (VOICEOVER): It was released in partnership

  • with Strayer University which is currently

  • running four weeks of social media contests

  • with SoulPancake.

  • Prizes range from tablets to t-shirts

  • and a new winner is announced each week.

  • Details are in the description.

  • I think my definition of success is

  • to have the ability to make myself

  • happy and other people happy.

  • But I really want to know what your definition of success

  • is, so let me know in the comments.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • -On top of being a fashion statement,

  • a hat can have many uses.

  • Displaying your fandom, tip collecting, and now, juggling.

  • This is the latest from the two brothers of Kuma film shot

  • over the course of three days in Taiwan.

  • And this is their friend, Adam displaying some crazy skills.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • JACOB SOBOROFF: The brothers travel the world looking

  • for people with unique talents to highlight.

  • If you want to know where to start,

  • three words-- the human coin.

  • -Beaches are sandy, oceans are blue,

  • and jellyfish will shoot hypodermic needles into you.

  • What are you doing going in the water?

  • DESTIN: Jellyfish tentacles have organelles

  • in them called nematocysts.

  • They're like little hypodermic needles.

  • And when you're swimming, and those hypodermic needles

  • brush up against your body, they stab into you and inject venom.

  • It's insane.

  • ALEX (VOICEOVER): SmarterEveryDay's Destin

  • took his high speed camera to James Cook University

  • in Australia to capture the real deal.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • ALEX (VOICEOVER): This footage was so good

  • even the scientist couldn't believe what they were seeing.

  • -I just saw something that nobody else in the world

  • has ever seen before.

  • -How awesome is that?

  • If you want to continue to have your mind blown by science,

  • he's got 200 more videos on his channel.

  • -Here's a recipe for an unforgettable animal video.

  • Find a few cute costumes, throw in a couple dogs

  • and sprinkle it with dubstep.

  • [DUBSTEP MUSIC PLAYING]

  • JACOB SOBOROFF: This is the latest from HelloDenizen,

  • the same people who gave us Tiny Hamster Eating a Tiny Burrito

  • and Tiny Birthday for a Tiny Hedgehog.

  • It's really nice to see them experimenting with medium size

  • animals.

  • I don't want credit for it, but here's

  • an idea for the next one, (WHISPERS) large animals.

  • -Stump Earnest!

  • -OK Earnest, today's challenger is jenisedai.

  • Ernest, find someone rapping in a kilt

  • with bagpipes in the background.

  • -Oh, jenisedai, put this in your bagpipe and smoke it.

  • Uploaded on Saint Patrick's Day, this bagpipe-rap freestyle

  • went off just outside Grand Central Terminal

  • in New York City.

  • And it might be one of the weirder collaborations

  • we've seen.

  • -(RAPPING) Shorty said I [INAUDIBLE] [BLEEP] me.

  • I'm out here, Saint Patrick's Day, [BLEEP] you already know.

  • Spitting on the bagpipe though.

  • -You can take my challenge but you can never take my throne.

  • Boom.

  • -Freedom!

  • All right stumpers, last week, Earnest

  • threw out a challenge for you.

  • Find me a video with a breakfast related lip dub.

  • He got a lot of great responses, but the first

  • to nail it was Jason Cox AKA @SpidersAreFun on Twitter, who

  • sent in this video of a group of friends lip

  • dubbing the song, "Bed and Breakfast,"

  • by the band Friends of the Arts.

  • Congratulations, Jason.

  • Here's Earnest's next challenge.

  • Find me videos of the weirdest thing

  • you can do with a business card.

  • You've got five days.

  • Tweet your responses to Earnest, @earnestp.

  • And as always, if you think you can take down the champ,

  • post your challenge in the comments with the hashtag

  • #StumpEarnest.

  • Have a wonderful Labor Day, guys.

  • In honor of the holiday, play us out, Rosa G.

  • [MUSIC - ROSA G, "LABOR DAY"]
