Advent! It’s that time of year where people confusingly give small disposable presents every day for a certain number of days beginning on some day and ending on another day. We love presents, but thought it’d be exorbitantly expensive to give each of you a chocolate bar every day for the next couple weeks. So, we turned to social media. We’ll be dealing out hilarious LOL-inducing “links,” so get your LOL parts (and your Twitter accounts) ready!

But wait a second, we’ve already been doing this for the better part of two weeks! If you missed it, fear not and feel free to catch up below.

1. Family Feud has become the weirdest show

Remember Family Feud and its wholesome family-oriented fun? Well, they’ve hired Steve Harvey, and things have gotten a little wild. This isn’t even the raciest clip I could show you:

The Gävle goat is a giant goat made of hay that each year is burnt down, knocked over, or run down by a car–and has been for nearly forty years.

I guarantee that you’ve never seen a model train set that has an airport, actual fires, and a topless sunbather. NOW YOU CAN:

No, really.

9. Awkward JLo song

That new J.Lo song reminds me of something, what is it? Oh I remember! This super awkward 80s panflute video:

10. Download any apps lately?

Apps, they’ve got the features these days.

11. Death metal parroty

I’m just going to let Wikipedia do the talking for me:

Hatebeak is a death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison, Mark Sloan and Waldo, a 19 year old Congo African Grey Parrot. The band members do not use their last names on their releases “for the mystery.” Hatebeak is unique in that they are the only band to feature a parrot on vocals. They are currently signed to Reptilian Records.
