The stars of viral videos don't last in the spotlight forever. Denny Blaze's "Average Homeboy" was posted online in 2005 and blew up. Blaze is currently starring in a 20-minute-long movie about what happened after the video was shot in 1989 and about its release to the public nearly ten years ago. Blaze joined the RTM crew to talk about his new project and his life since his 15 minutes of internet fame.

'#LOLCAT' Parodies '#SELFIE' with Adorable Hilarity

The first time you heard the song #Selfie by The Chainsmokers, you probably wondered if a drunk girl wandered into the studio while they were recording the latest club mix, only to find out that the random ramblings were actually intentionally part of the track. Then you probably wondered if they were serious. The answer might be somewhere between "I don't joke about #selfies" and "duh, of course it's a commentary on our vanity driven society," but either way this cat parody from The Pet Collective is definitely a (pretty funny) joke... and today's Daily Pet! #caturday View Now

Elephants In Trouble

Elephants In Trouble

This first elephant is in trouble because it's the one causing the trouble. It marched into a village in India and began ripping through the wall of a building. To retaliate, the residents threw firecrackers at the poor creature in an attempt to scare it off. Eventually, it wandered away. Over at Oldonyiro Community Conservancy in Kenya, three helpless elephants were trapped in mud and couldn't get out on their own. Rescuers hauled each elephant out of the mud with a tractor. After some time on solid ground, each elephant was able to recover and stand up on its own. View Now
