There are very few legends in this world. When it comes to beatboxing, Doug E Fresh is the O.G. legend. Below is an old school video of Fresh with Slick Rick performing 'La Di Da Di' in New York. At 3:52 Fresh goes off the hook, so be patient. There are very few legends in this world.
The McLovin Award was inspired by the fake ID toting nerd from Superbad. Clueless, looking for booze and perpetually horny-- every geek needs a shortcut to get the girl...that, and a fake ID.
This clip is a WonderHowTo classic and now the 2008 Oddball Award winner! Nancy Parker loves her cat, Millennium Y 2 Kitty. Yes, the cat's name may be dated, but toilet training a cat is the future. She proves obsessive-compulsive behavior can be a major virtue, and rather than a drawback.
Way before $5 gallons of gas and billion dollar bailouts, Kipkay made this gas saving video. Congratulations Kip on winning the 2008 WonderHowTo Recession Survival Award!
OMG!!! Shane. You go girl! Shane Mercado is a viral video phenom. He dances to Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies' without missing a beat... and in a single take! Yes, B gets dozens of cuts, but Shane's webcam never pauses.
Toy splicing is the hobby of combining to disassociated toys into a totally unique device.
Michael Jackson's iconic Thriller is experiencing a revival. In the Phillipines, prisoners are undergoing rehabilitation through extensively choreographed dance. This video shows hundreds of orange suited inmates dancing in unison to Thriller. Michael Jackson's iconic Thriller is experiencing a revival.

It's a tight race! Every vote counts. Community members, your vote counts twice! Decide now, what is more WONDERFUL Pancakes or Sleevefaces!?!
In case you missed it, we're in the middle of an election! Move over Obama and McCain, the WonderHowTo Awards have the best candidates! Issue of the day-- healthcare, more specifically zit care.
Pachinko originated in Japan as large casino machines that were similar to video slot machines. Players gambled on them for prizes. They were then adapted and became popular in the US as handheld kids' toys made of cardboard, a couple of BBs, some plastic and a rubber band.
Ahhh. Obsession. Specifically, Stephen. When the market dove 700 points last week, he was watching this video, on repeat, mumbling something entirely incoherent.
Puzzled? We were too, when Bryan here at Wonder'HowTo punked us-- hiding this 80's music video in an email entitled 'WonderHowTo on Colbert Report'. Doh! Totally fell for it! Twice.

Ever since we got our fingers on the iPhone, we've been fascinated by multitouch. Why couldn't everything be so physically interactive?
Our friends at Graffiti Research Lab were detained in Beijing over the weekend on charges of “upsetting public order”.
For most, anatomy dissections stopped at the frog. We can all experience med school cadaver picking thanks to an excellent library of videos published by the University of Wisconsion. No MCAT's required.
(We did not know about these, either...until we discovered these videos.) The fixed gear bike, also called a fixie, was designed for track racing in the velodrome. Working bike messengers brought them to the NYC, Tokyo, SF, London streets on account the cycles gave them far more control to maneuver the urban jungle. The Chinese acrobat peddling a bike with 18 contortionists wrapped around him, must have a fixie.
We almost forgot about the disposable camera. With every cell phone outfitted with a camera, who needs the emergency 7-Eleven point-n-shoot?
Watch this first 'tutorial'.FauxTo! Hoax! Con! May 28, 2008, this video was uploaded to YouTube illustrating the popcorn popping power of a circle of ringing mobile phones. Radiation. Amazing. Viral. Millions viewed.
The average human will make over 300 million footsteps in a lifetime. Who knew we needed instruction for walking?
Birdwatching! I've never considered it a hobby, but more a daily delight of growing up in New England. We had the book in the kitchen and we'd mark off each bird we'd spotted and the date it visited us.
Yowsa. Mariah Carey 38, came out from a paparazzi vortex last week marrying Nick Cannon 27. She and her cougar cohorts are not ashamed to be the older woman in their relationships.
Ok. This is an experiment in excellence. Never before have I recommended a non-embedded video. Until now.
WonderHowTo is game on. Note for the devoted gamers with a code of ethics: spoiler alert. This cheat exemplifies the argument that video games are modern social commentary. Just when you thought this game was only about shooting hookers and scoring drugs. This odd Easter Egg gets to the heart of Liberty City, literally.
For those of you who are not gaming enthusiasts, this is a gaming "Easter Egg". The creation of video games and animated movies require thousands of hours of toiling behind the computer. So, it is little surprise that the engineers leave behind random, little Easter egg surprises of self expression in unexpected places.
My body is my temple. This temple is scared of needles. This excellent tutorial is as close as I need to get to a tattoo needle.
What is not to enjoy in this subersive tutorial? Who can live without the weenie drawing montage in Superbad? Classic. Jonah Hill in Superbad authoritatively cites that 70% of us are afflicted with this primal need to draw every object with a John Thomas.
Believe it or not, yes, Youtube is getting ready for high definition. But, because (me thinks) of the cost structure involved, they ain't advertising the hell out of this feature, yet.
Looks simple. It ain't. Surfing is an amazing sport. Zen like. I have been surfing for more than 10 years.
Based in Santa Monica, we don't have much occasion to go hunting or clean skulls. We could, but we just do not.
This video is very clever, if a bit Rube Goldberg. It is the kind of thing that would be entirely charming if executed by an 8 year old boy.
Boy oh boy. This tutorial is actually thoughtful. Most impressive is that it has that rare thing: common sense.
Amazing. Truly. This is a WonderHowTo weekend digression. When we get excited, we just gots to share. Ok. Ok. Almost all of our tutorials possess a DIY sensibility and bias. Education is a complex relative of DIY and causes us taxonomical gas. But we love the category, nonetheless.
(Note: I am taking a chance. These Youtube embeds have been so tempermental since the Pakistan routing problem. Try hitting refresh if the video does not play through.)
Practice at home. Be fashionable. Impress your friends. Remember Darrin's Dance Grooves? You had to buy a $19.99 vhs. Pop it and lock it like 'N Synch.
This video works. Watch this ordinary guy shovel mounds of bone-dry corn starch into his mouth. A combination of six step tutorial and gratuitous chestpounding, this video is a simple example of the cornstarch (or flour) bomb.
One great, award winning How-to. Produced 20 year ago. You might have observed that on Sundays we tend to slow down the pace. Which is to say that we enjoy offering a leisurely How-to on the Lord's holy day. Be patient, Tonto: the subtitling is primitive: and the running time is as long as it needs to be: and yes, it was produced before the frenetic era of the internet.
A snow globe with Elvis. If you don't dig Elvis, choose your own campy figurine. Very groovy. I will admit. I am slowly trying to get in touch with my feminine side. Amie is helping me. Like when I chose 'how to give a massage' as clip of the day on Valentine's day.
Lord have mercy! Works better than Napster or Limewire...in their hey day. We tested this video. Someone has to school me on the legalities. This tutorial and this method work like magic. Excellent. No cost. Beatles. Led Zepplin. Everything and more.
Where was this video when I needed it? Bag of rice. Water bottle. 1/4 bolt with #20 thread. String.
