  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

LOL Snake - mental image of his dessicated corpse spinning that fast.

Wow.. I can't believe THIS is already on here. This should be required viewing for all Americans. Like Teddy's regrets about the Federal Reserve, Ike really worried about leaving the country to war profiteers and oil tycoons.

I think this version is rubbish. This one is much better quality.
