You've got the weekend and, chances are, a short week coming up. Life is good. Let's celebrate by kicking back and enjoying some gadget hilarity.
World's Greatest iPhone: The image of the iPhone above is obviously a shop, but YouTube, Weather and Safari still have me laughing months later. [igmur (http://i.imgur.com/OBKyC.jpg) via Link (http://gizmodo.com/5302578/this-iphone-is-freakin-hilarious)]
Beta Version of BigDog Quadrupled Robot: Needless to say, the beta version of Boston Dynamics' BigDog (http://gizmodo.com/368651/new-video-of-bigdog-quadruped-robot-is-so-stunning-its-spooky) was rather primitive. You have Peter Furia, David Fine and Beau Lewis of Seedwell Marketing (http://seedwell.com/) to thank for this hilarious spoof.

Unfortunately, that makes pranking easy, which will lead people to ignore warnings when there is an actual zombie outbreak.

What Happens When You Bring a 22-Year Old Mac to a Genius Bar? Our own Adam Frucci finds out (http://gizmodo.com/5406566/what-happens-when-you-bring-a-22+year+old-mac-to-the-genius-bar).

Many thought it was a fake, but it turns out that all the couple needed to score their 15-minutes was a Gorillapod (http://gizmodo.com/tag/pst/gorillapod/), a camera and some luck.

HSN Wiimote Mishap: There have been plenty of videos of Wiimote-related incidents over the years, but it's even funnier when it happens on live television. [Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5384471/ok-this-wiimote-mishap-were-calling-not-fake)]
Fart Machine Grinds Government to a Halt: A kid brings down city council meeting with mechanical farts. Amusing, but I bet this could be a serious weapon in a fillibuster. [Link (http://gizmodo.com/5166765/kid-uses-fart-machine-in-city-council-meeting-government-grinds-to-a-hilarious-halt)]

[Link (http://gizmodo.com/5035456/blue-screen-of-death-strikes-birds-nest-during-opening-ceremonies-torch-lighting)]
Office Camouflage: I'm not sure what the hell they are saying, but the funny still gets across. [Link (http://gizmodo.com/5345013/hilarious-video-shows-perfect-office-camouflage-techniques)]
Forklift Catastrophe: It's only funny now because no one got hurt, but damn. Destroying $250,000 worth of vodka with a little fender bender is a sign that you need to update the shelving system in the warehouse.
