Oh, your dog can catch a Frisbee in its mouth? Big whoop! Every dog in the world can catch a Frisbee or a ball in its mouth. That's what dogs do. If your dog can't catch anything in its mouth, your dog is a failure. Catching stuff in the mouth is a baseline trick for dogs. You start from there and work your way up. Take Purin, the beagle in this video, for example. His Japanese owner trained him to catch a ball with its paws. Like a human. Can your dog do that? ...Oh, it can? Yatta! ...

Japan always comes up with some pretty sweet ideas for commercials. It is also the country where Hello Kitty was born. So a merging of the two was inevitable. But unlike Hello Kitty which is all about having a good time, this cat takes a work trip, and you know he's all business because he sports glasses and a necktie. And, at the end of the day, is there any better way to spend you time than watching a video of a cat pretend to run a meeting, check into a hotel and use a huge cell phone? We don't think so.

Leave it to weird Japanese television to give us this funny video featuring an owl who transforms itself several different ways to ward off trouble. Faced with a sworn enemy, this barn owl puffs itself up to look enormous and threatening. But when a significantly larger owl comes its way, our Transformer Owl pulls a very different card, instead "elongating its body, flattening its feathers and squinting its eyes" in an effort to camouflage itself. And then there is his Count Dracula persona. You'll just have to see that for yourself. ...

A cat's favorite place (as almost any cat owner can attest) is inside a box. Ninjutsu's most important skills are the ability to go unseen, and the ability to strike fast and hard. Well, this fluffy-white wannabe ninja is more than capable of using some finely honed shinobi skills to protect her favorite hiding spot. You'd better be careful around cardboard in this house; if you put your fingers too close to the wrong box, you might experience the wrath of the ninja first hand. Hai-ya! Share ...

Monkeys aren't only cute to look at; their intense facial expressions and familiar behaviors are truly fascinating to the human eye. In a way, we see ourselves in them, especially when filmed doing their daily routines as they are in this footage taken at the Takasaki Mountain National Park in Japan. ...

No one does "cute" quite like the Japanese. You'd think the ad wizards here in the States would have the presence of mind to slap a necktie and a pair of specs on a cat. I guess if you spend too much time outside the box, you get scooped on an obvious, classic idea like this. Instead, we Yanks get stuck with a talking garden gnome for years and years. YouTube user sunovia5 helpfully provides a rough translation of the commercial's voiceover dialogue: "'I'm Niyaran. Today big profits are a hard task. (while looking at computer) It's grown! (profits are up!).' Tagline: 'Profitable: Hotel Yakumo.'" So we guess it's a commercial for a hotel that caters to business travelers? Who cares; the ...
