These are some seriously cool cops!
The video of two officers from Texas has gone viral and we can see why – their rendition of Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’ may be better than the original.
Keep it up guys, we want more! When you’re not busy arresting people and all that…
To celebrate Father’s day this Sunday, Jimmy Fallon put on this hilarious dance performance called The Evolution of Dad Dancing. We bet you will recognise some of these moves.
The brace years were not easy years. Thankfully, you’ve come out the other side, unscathed and with super straight teeth – yay! Looking back, here are some of the hardest things about having braces that you had to deal with:
1. The apprehension that nobody would want to kiss you
This was definitely the worst part of braces. Kissing. Having braces was like having a warning sign on your face that you probably weren’t going to be that much fun to kiss.
2. The first visit to the orthodontist
An orthodontist is not like a dentist. He invaded your mouth and waged war on your gappy teeth.
3. The retainer
If you had really shitty teeth/bone structure your first stop in the process is always a retainer. Having to remove the damn thing at every meal time is the worst…
4. The first time you get train tracks
The first day after getting braces was always the worst. Your lips were all cut and bruised from the metal scraping your mouth at every opportunity, proving that beauty does equal pain.
5. Getting food stuck in your braces on a daily basis
Every.Single. Day.
6. And having people point it out to you in public
“You have some green sh** in your teeth”- Oh the embarrassment.
7. Elastics
Whoever invented these was seriously having a laugh. Removing them to eat was so annoying and any time you laughed too hard they would snap. Also, every time you opened your mouth everyone could see them: “What are those things in your mouth??”
8. Tightening days
These were the worst appointments you had to deal with. The apprehension of knowing you had to get the damn things tightened was the worst.
9. Trying to drink soup while everyone else was eating something chewable
This always came in the day after you had to get them tightened.
10. Having people sing the brace face theme song at you
“Braceface, teenage, boyfriends don’t want to talk about it, it will work out in the end.”
11. Trying to smile with your mouth closed…and failing
No way to hide them..
12. Laughing with a big metal grin
Goofy doesn’t even cover it.
13. Feeling better about yourself when you realised Beyoncé had them too
She really did!
14. Finally getting them off and realising that it was all worth it
One word. Transformation.

Irish people love complaining. It’s a fact. Here are some of our favourite things to get mad about:
1. The weather forecast
“Ah sure, they said it was going to be sunny and I got lashed on, would they ever make up their mind”. The Irish have a really bad relationship with weather forecasters. Unless they bring good news of course.
2. The bus
Where do you start with the bus?! They are either always late or always early and take the most ridiculous route imaginable. It is also the most unsociable environment ever, and on a warm day it feels like a sauna where everyone’s body odour sort of mushes into one.
3. Politicians
It doesn’t matter who is in office, we will always complain about how they’re ruining the country, even in good times. Our Taoiseach could be Dustin the Turkey, sure it would be funny for a few weeks, but after that we would complain about how we voted in a Turkey.
4. Yanks
They all think that they’re Irish in someway and us Irish are sick of them saying: “Top of the morning to you” and “St.Pattys Days.” They think we’re leprechauns and that we all have ginger hair.
5. Bono
Ireland is divided on Bono. Half the country love him, the other half are jealous he doesn’t have to pay taxes.
6. The Eurovision
“Ah sure, they’re only voting for each other for God’s sake, we only have the Brits.” We have won it 7 times and we’re still complaining about The Eurovision. Ireland doesn’t do wacky, so we throw everything at them: ginger twins, blonde twins, a turkey… Anything!
7. Louis Walsh
We all wonder the same thing when comes it comes to Louis Walsh – how on earth he got on TV. In all fairness, for someone who looks like a failed fashion stylist he did pretty well for himself.
8. Ryan Tubridy
People young and old across the country have a united hatred for The Late Late Show presenter. “Ah no I don’t like him, sure look at him, he is so skinny that has to be unhealthy”. We still haven’t fully gotten over the loss of Ireland’s sweetheart Gay Byrne.
9. The Referee
Anytime there is a GAA match on we will always have a reason to complain. We complain when the ref keeps giving frees and then when he lets everything go. “Jaysus, they’re not a bunch as pansies, it isn’t soccer” or “Come one Ref!! he was pulling his shirt for feck sake”. We can never quite make up our mind.
10. The Kilkenny Hurling team
“Sure, they win it every year for god sake”. Everyone around the country rejoiced last years when someone other than Kilkenny won the Mcarthy Cup. Clare were heroes for a month when they toppled Kilkenny.
11. Eamon Dunphy
The world cup started yesterday and we will all be complaining about Eamon Dunphy’s analysis of the game. We all love to hate him … but now and again he is actually right.
12. Traveling abroad
Us Irish are used to travelling, generations have emigrated far and wide to greener pastures. No matter how many times we travel though, we always leave things to the last minute. Booking our flights, packing, boarding pass and then we forget we left the stove on at home.
13. “Your Man”
“Your know your man? He’s after cheating on his wife, awful all together it is”. Irish people always complain about “your man” and what he has been up to. Even though we don’t have a clue who you’re talking about, we have to act like we know.
14. The Late Late Show
No matter what is on the show, there is always something we can find to complain about. We know about how many letters RTE get when Tommy Tiernan comes on the show.
15. A bad pint
When someone pours a bad pint they might as well start all over again. There is nothing worse than when a pint is rushed and the head is wrong. You say to the barman that it’s grand, but inside you’re raging.
16. Weak tea
The Irish take their tea very seriously, it is in some ways a fine art. When you ask someone else to make you a cup and they don’t make it the way you like, we look at them as if to say “What it is this sh**!!
17. Bouncers
We take not being allowed into a club way too seriously, even though it’s their job.
18. The fear
Every Irish person experiences this on a weekly basis, waking up after a night out and not having a clue what happened the night before. Piecing the night together in your head and then you remember ... SH**!!

People always assume that being tall is great and that we’re luckier than everyone else – but being tall isn’t always so hot! Here are some questions we are sick of answering:
1. “What HEIGHT are you?”
Taller than you. That’s all you need to know.
2.”Can you get that there?”
Used and abused for our height.
3. “You must get everywhere so much faster.”
Incidentally, yes. Yes we do.
4. “Flying must be fun for you?”
Flying isn’t fun for anyone. Ever. Fact.
5. “Let’s take a selfie. Can you lean down a bit there?”
Can you just stand on your tippie toes, please?
6. “Jesus, I’d love to see the height of you in heels.”
We don’t wear heels.
7. “Does Penneys have a tall girl section?”
On behalf of tall girls everywhere, we’d like to propose this genius idea to Penneys. Please, do your taller customers a massive favour and cut some clothes that will actually cover our bum.
8. “Are your parents really tall too?”
No.
9. “That shower’s a bit low, good luck with that.”
This really is the worst thing ever.
10. “Have you always been that tall?”
Have you always been this stupid?
11. “Finding a man taller than you must be tricky.”

Prankster, Vitalii Sediuk, isn’t letting his community service get him down!
The prankster was sentenced to 20 days community service for a red carpet attack on Brad Pitt, but is still finding bizarre ways of getting to the celebs.
He was spotted cheekily wearing a Brad Pitt t-shirt while performing his punishment duties.
We’re sure Brad will just love this!
Meanwhile, the actor opened up recently about the attack, saying: “I was at the end of the line signing autographs, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone stage-dive over the barrier for me … I looked down and the nutter was trying to bury his head in my crotch.”
Yes, we’re hoarders and your bedside table always seems like such a good idea to hide all of those unmentionables … but why?!
Here are some of the more regular, and some not so regular items bound to be found in our bedside tables!
1. Passport
Surely every thief in the world must know where to look for a passport. Everyone uses their underwear drawer as a hiding place.
2. Condoms
If they’re not on your bedside locker then they’re probably in your knicker drawer. Because duh.
3. A box of cigarettes
You don’t smoke, but you bring them on nights out, and this is where they live in between.
4. Bizarre bra
It cost like 50 quid and you wore it one time.
5. Patterned tights
You know the ones that you bought because they were on sale in River Island for €2. You’ll probably end up throwing them out but for now they remain in the drawer unworn and useless.
6. Sexy underwear
You only pull out the big guns for special occasions. You know the exact pants that make your arse look great and the bra that is both flattering and sexy.
7. Granny pants- aka period pants
They’re seriously naff but so so comfy. Even though the elestic is clearly visible you still won’t throw them away.
8. The mini vibrator/sex toy
If there is one place you’re going to stash this it’s probably in here..
9. Mismatched selection of socks
Well this is exactly what you’d expect to find in here. Life is too short to oraganise socks and this is why you can never find a decent pair.
10. Sale items from Ann Summers that you will never ever wear. Ever.
You know the stuff- with straps that you can’t figure out – It kind of scares you a little bit to be honest. Seemed like a good idea at the time though!
11. The Bridget Jones suck-in knickers
You probably bought these for your cousin’s wedding a few years back but they are always there for emergencies. You just hope that know one will ever have to see you in them.
.
12. Bullet proof padded bra
You know the one. The bra that is so padded it could literally protect your boobies from an AK47. It also gives you unrelastic expectations of your cleavage. False advertising.com.
13. Stockings
You bought them to be sexy but every time you attempt to wear them you end up ripping them to shreds. WHY are they so uncomfy?! You just wanted to be Dita Von Teese.
14. Tanning mitt
Raggedy old thing, but always pulled out for nights out.
15. Coppers/pennies
An assortment of currency from countries that you haven’t even been to.
16. Your ex boyfriends old boxers
That you should probably throw away but still wear occasionally… mainly because they’re too comfy to throw out.

Us short girls don’t have it so easy. Between having to prove just how tough we really are and having to answer your stupid questions, it’s exhausting. Here are some questions you shouldn’t ask a short woman, ever:
1. “Can I pick you up?”
Drunken strangers think it’s perfectly acceptable to pick us up, throw us over their shoulders and do laps of the nightclub dancefloor. So not okay.
2. “How old are you?”
Just because we are small, doesn’t instantly make us 11 years-old!
3. “How are you so small?”
There’s always an emphasis on the “small”. Why are you so tall?
4. “Do you have to shop in the kids section?”
Sometimes. That’s where all the bargains are as well as the pink sparkly shoes so IN YOUR FACE!
5. “How can you eat so much?”
Does our height somehow dictate the size of our stomachs?
6. “Could you fit in there? How bout in there?”
We appreciate your curiosity, and we’ve probably wondered if we could fit in the washing machine too.
7. “Do you want me to put you on my shoulders?”
Usually asked at gigs, this is a really nice gesture. We do appreciate the fact that you’re looking out for us and know that it’s almost impossible for us to see the gig if not at the very front or the very back.
8. “Can I lean on you?”
Using us as an elbow rest is so not cool, you’re squishing our necks!
9. “Can I keep you?”
This is kind of nice, although it’s very patronising. We’re often seen as the kittens of the human race. People love to pet us and cuddle us, it’s kind of weird.

Here are some things we all belived about love when we were naive teenagers, thank God we’ve grown up…
1. X’s are key to success
The amount of X’s he put at the end of a text measured how much he loved you. Fact.
2. Who is the other half of you?
If you didn’t have another half of Bebo, you were no one.
3. Showcase your love at every given chance
PDA’s were a part of life back in your teen years. The more you shifted him in public, the more people knew he was YOURS!!
4. Pet names are an essential aspect of any relationship
“Hey baaaaabe” … “Snugglebunny” … can anyone say PUKE?! And also, “criiinge” on remembering that we too did this back in the day.
5. Being Cupid is your main talent in life and you should probably pursue it as a career
Pity it wasn’t a subject in the Leaving Cert you thought to yourself on the day of the repeats.
6. A minimum of fifty texts a day must be sent, or it is not true and viable love
Seriously, the amount of credit you went through is frightening.
7. Putting out does not make you easy, it makes you unbelievably cool
Once again, fuelling those cringey memories we have to live with.
8. They say personality is the most important thing, but looks are all that really matter
Sure, you got to shift the hottie from the hurling team, but then all he talked about for four whole weeks was…well, hurling! So not worth the street cred.

This website has one objective and one objective only – to make you feel super old.
Aptly named, ‘You’re Getting Old’, the website takes your date of birth and points out all of the reasons you are officially ancient.
For example, if your date of birth is the 23rd December 1982, it tells you that you are 11, 942 days old and how this compares to some much younger famous people.
It also tells you the number of times your heart has beat and compares how many people were on earth when you were born to how many there are now.
This site is both fascinating and scary, all at the same time!
In hindsight, some of these shows are actually incredibly unsuitable for little kids, what were our parents thinking?! Then again, we turned out okay…right?
1. Ren and Stimpy
How this ever got classed as a kid’s show is beyond us. It’s gross and has so many sexual undertones it’s unbelievable!
2. Braceface
The show’s composition of having it’s main character as an insecure teenage girl (Sharon) with braces is bad enough in itself. Throughout the series, Sharon’s braces would often act as magnets causing her to get into embarrassing situations. The show basically taught teenage girls that braces will bring you nothing but embarrassment and unwanted attention.
3. Arthur
There isn’t anything morally wrong with Arthur and his animal friends; he’s a good kid, who sometimes fights with his little sister D.W and gets into trouble, but he always learns his lesson. But he’s no craic. You can feck right off with your library card lads.
4. The Magic Schoolbus
The thoughts of going to school and having your lizard-loving teacher taking you on daily school trips to the past, the universe or wherever was mind-blowing. But on reflection, it’s very possible that Ms. Frizzle was slipping the kids acid in their juice box on the daily.
5. Shin-Shan
In this Japanese magna series, which was usually only shown at 6am, we followed the shenanigans of Shin Chan. A cheeky little fellow, who loved pulling down his pants and sticking sparklers in his arsehole. A bit of a laugh as a child if you ask me, but as a parent? No way.
6. Pokèmon
Animal rights anyone? Anyone?
7. The Wild Thornberrys
Eliza nearly died in almost all of those episodes. Shouldn’t we be teaching children NOT to approach dangerous jungle animals? Like, seriously?
8. The Rugrats
Absolute rascals. This show encouraged its young viewers to use their imagination when it came to adventures. But what it actually taught us was that you’ll always have more fun if you disobey your parents and go for an adventure in prohibited places.

This Buzzfeed video is the perfect laugh you need coming up to Father’s Day.
We all love our dads, but sometimes they can make us cringe too, especially when it comes to technology. Here are eight classic examples of the “Dad Text”.
