Off-Beat Fun: Miss Arkansas Yodeling Ventriloquist

Offbeat Fun

Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady fulfilled all of our Miss America Pageant dreams on Saturday night by performing a ventriloquism act during the talent portion of the show. But instead of it being a series of “dummy, no you're the dummy” jokes, there was singing, yodeling and double the dolls. Eady was ultimately named the first runner-up, winning $25,000.

Best Viral Videos 2010

2010 was an incredible year in terms of viral videos. The increased use of social media like Twitter and Tumblr has taken our meme consumption to ridiculous levels. There have been a lot of “best viral videos of the year” lists floating around lately, but we feel this compilation from Videogum does the best job curating all the crazy things we paid attention to this year. From “Double Dream Hands” to “Double Rainbow,” they've covered almost all the bases and did a great job editing them together in an entertaining way. Check it out and see Videogum for a list of all the honorees.
