I don’t remember where I found this (I think it was 4chan, so I won’t link there for your sanity), but it always makes me smile. Meta-jokes for the win, I say. With that out of the way, here are your links:

• This may be the best Barack Obama toy ever. Lightsabers and microphones in the hands of the POTUS can only lead to good things.

• This game draws a line in various directions based on the noise you make. Try playing a song to see what it ‘draws,’ it’s oodles of fun.

• ZOMG THAT BIRD COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. 

• If you like Paul Rudd, you’ll love this: a blonde Rudd in a very bad Hong Kong action movie. Never forget the robot, man.

Hit the jump for a raunchy song by Flight of the Conchords, another crazy Obama toy and the continuation of the series by the dude who hates nature.

Following Stephen Colbert’s plea to America to remix his interview with Lawrence Lessig, I now submit this as new fodder for an amazing remix. Srsly–this is gold, people. Someone put a beat under these clips, mix them up, and blam! It don’t matter!
