Have you noticed this trend in YouTube? You watch a video on YouTube. Maybe it’s a minute, maybe it’s two. Maybe you laughed, maybe you didn’t. But then there are 5 minutes of additional post-video video that tells you to either subscribe to their other channel, add them on Facebook, tweet out a shoutout, click on their next video, see what they’re up to, shill for a sponsor and maybe even do all of the above.

For every awesome life hack and tip you see on the Internet, there are thousands more that seem so complicated that they seem like they would make life harder. This parody video by KipKay—who actually comes up with awesome life hacks—hilariously pokes fun of those types of useless, ridiculous tips. Like using your sandals to hold your gun. Or a blowtorch for butter. It’s a fantastic commentary on lifehacking. [KipKay]

But what would be even more annoying is how life would turn incredibly lonely without a phone because you start to notice how everyone else is so obsessed with theirs. Ban phones. [charstarlaneTV]
