A deadly 70-car freeway pile-up. If there's one thing we picked up from this video, it's that pile-ups are a lot more frightening than we thought. The sounds of high-speed collisions and crumpling metal aren't things we'll ever want to hear up close. This freak accident was caused by foggy weather conditions.

Chris Martin on Carpool Karaoke. We're really starting to enjoy this in-car karaoke stuff. And based on the number of views these videos get on YouTube, it seems everyone else is digging it. On a more serious note, can someone explain to Chris how the Super Bowl works? We think he has the wrong idea.

F1 race car versus a world-class rugby team. The ultimate contest between man and machine. Eight members of a European rugby club take on a 335kph Red Bull Formula 1 car. How? Watch the video to find out. The competition ends up being a lot closer than we initially thought. Props to whoever thought of this insane stunt--it's crazy enough to be in an episode of Top Gear.

A McLaren bait car. Three dudes leave an exotic supercar in the middle of an empty parking lot with the doors unlocked and the key in plain view. Easy pickings for car thieves, right? But there's a catch. This McLaren is rigged to give anyone an electric shock via the press of a remote control. Yeah, this video is probably fake. But it's still pretty entertaining.

Audi's R8 Super Bowl TV commercial. A loving son finds his retired astronaut father feeling down in the dumps from remembering the good old days. No space shuttle? No problem, because they find themselves behind the wheel of the next best thing--an Audi R8. The TV spot also features the late David Bowie singing 'Starman'. We couldn't have thought of a more appropriate song for this scene.
