YouTube Tournament Battle Plan

We know you're all psyched for the YouTube Tournament at Nightlight now that you've read Dive's article on it. But what videos are you going to throw down when you show up to try and take home the crown of best mindless entertainment coordinator? Fear not. Dive has prepared a list of five videos that we think will fit right at home in any successful battle plan. Check them out, and then get ready to go forth and slay the teeming masses with your uproarious videos..

MANtage

Men know how to be manly. And YouTube sensation Barats and Bereta knew how to make it funny. In this laugh-a-second tour de force the duo teaches you all the things you need to know about being male. You know, like playing with kittens and wrestling bears at night.

Jones Big Ass Truck Rental And Storage

In this commercial for the most poorly organized and thoroughly unrealistic storage facility you can think of Tobias R. Jones gives one of YouTube's most hilarious sales pitches. And though it's clear that the facility doesn't actually exist, you got to hand it to him that it would be really cool if it did. After all, it can store a bus. Do you know how big a bus is?

Natalie Raps

Thanks to the quick wit of Andy Sandberg and his Lonely Island crew, Saturday Night Live got on the viral video craze quickly. In this video, one of the show's earliest and still best successes, Petite Jewish starlet Natalie Portman curses like a grizzled dock worker as she lays out a day in her thug life. If Portman's hilarious drug and sex life aren't enough to keep the audience chuckling, Sandberg's ridiculous Viking outfit will.

Crazy Cleveland Tourism Video

Though it's pretty clear this video making light of how much Cleveland sucks wasn't made by the city's tourism department, that won't stop it from keeping an audience in stitches as it highlights such wondrous gems as a river that's so polluted that it catches on fire. But after all, as the video points out, it could be worse. It could be Detroit.

Big Ball Knockouts (part 1)

People love people getting hit in the face. Especially when it's with enormous rubber balls. So this collection, by far the best of such collection man versus sphere montages I've found, brings together several hilarious collisions that should have the audience grabbing their sides in delight. But I kind of have to cringe when that little girl gets demolished by the enormous rainbow ball. I'm pretty sure she was really injured.
