If life is a canine birthday party, then frivolous internet links are the malodorous, meaty cake. Take my paw and we will delve muzzle-first into the Pedigree Chum goodness that lies below.

You slapped a fish

• The Bad Lipreading crew have finally made sense of Twilight.
• You like Korean pop phenomenon Gangnam Style for the dance, don’t you? Time to love it for its subversive political message.
• Michael Fassbender is set to play 80’s papier-mache-headed comic character Frank Sidebottom and WAIT WHUT I CAN’T EVEN.
• Parks & Recreation have released the bloopers. And they were good.
