There's no doubt that professional skateboarder and collector of all things funny Rob Dyrdek worked diligently to find some of the best amateur videos around the internets this season, and during tonight's final episode of "Ridiculousness," dude delivered. Between the "You Could Not Do That Again If You Tried" segment, where we saw a bungee jumper land right inside a golf cart, to the twin dogs who just loved playing with boots, we couldn't get enough. But there were a few amusing clips we thought he overlooked.

To make sure you didn't miss a single bit of stupidity this week, we worked equally as hard rounding up vids to share with you guys. Check out our roundup of wild web happenings:

The Baby Whisperer
Oh, the responsibilities of parenting. When the baby cries, you have to get up and feed it, or something. Unless you have a motherly cat in the house, in which case, it'll be happy to handle the cranky newborn for you.

Strangers On A Train
Man, we wish this was our morning commute. A woman on a train in Germany belts out belly laughs, and it doesn't take long before it spreads throughout the car. Someone please tell us what she was looking at on her phone!

Saltboarding
Who says you can't take your sleek snowboard out to the salt flats in Utah? Certainly not these guys, who were able to cruise as fast as 50 mph! Something tells us that the bottom of those boards is probably trashed by now.

The "Fantasy Factory" maestro knows the significance of closing your eyes better than anyone else.

In 1974, actor Roger Moore courageously flipped his car over a murky river in the popular James Bond film, "The Man with the Golden Gun." It was a foolhardy stunt to say the least, so who better to re-create it than the king of wildly dangerous, gravity-defying tricks, Rob Dyrdek?

On Saturday, the skateboard legend and "Fantasy Factory" fun house commander in chief buckled up in a Chevy Sonic for an ultimate test. The American manufacturer challenged him to kick flip one of their cars off a ramp, landing it back on four wheels. As scary as the stunt sounds, Autoweek.com claims that the vehicle was altered in an attempt to keep Rob safe. "The car got a few modifications for the jump, including a roll cage, racing seat belts and upgraded shocks to absorb the landing. The fuel tank was modified to hold only a few gallons, and the battery was moved inside the roll cage." Still sounds like the worst idea ever to us. Luckily, he completed it safely.

Every new season of "Jersey Shore" brings another cast photo shoot, and while Italy added a beautiful backdrop to MTV's Season 4 photos, we were just as happy to snap pics of the cast back in Seaside Heights for Season 5.

At 2 FRIGGIN' A.M. one summer's eve months back (ya just can't bring these kids out in daylight anymore without getting trampled), a lively clan of orange-tinted folk met up at the boardwalk in their Easter Sunday's best, giddy to take part in yet another Class Picture Day. (You know them: any excuse to wear extra makeup and strike a sexy pose for the camera!) After much primping, spritzing and plucking, they had each earned the title of Sexy Mo-Fo, but the girls were especially turning up the temp. Take a look at these hot shots and tell us in the poll which guidette is most skilled at steaming up the lens.

Whether she's pouting her lips or curving her hips, JWOWW knows exactly how to work her best physical features.

Behind every one of Sammi's sweet facial expressions is a seductive stare. Girl next door? Wenothinkso.

Tami Roman on 1993's "Real World: Los Angeles," and now, on VH1's "Basketball Wives."

When "Real World" was still in its infancy and only had a single season under its belt, Tami Roman stepped into the picture and demanded that people take notice. At 22, Roman was one of the most outspoken of the Los Angeles cast, but struggled with body image issues that amounted to getting her jaw wired shut to lose weight. She was a caregiver to people with HIV and AIDS, opened up abortion dialogue in mainstream media and was even a member of a music group called Reality--but to many viewers, she was the woman who got bedding ripped off her while in her underwear and demanded that housemate David, the sheet-snatcher, be kicked out of the house in the first instance of eviction on "Real World."

Earlier today, we shared item No. 1 on Snooki's Christmas wish list: a rack as voluptuous as JWOWW's. But surely, a gift certificate to the plastic surgeon can't be all the "Jersey Shore" meatball hopes to find underneath her tree. What about other must-have items, like more neon monokinis or a jar of fancy pickles?

It normally takes a really good friend or family member to know exactly what to get someone for the holidays. But MTV bloggers prone to stalking can also do a pretty good job, especially if the presents are meant to be exchanged by Snooks and her seven housemates. Just take a look at our suggestions for things the cast can get each other this X-Mas:

Snooki to Deena
The most useful item Snooki could give her partner-in-crime is a reliable form of protection--and we're not talking about the smushing kind! Body armor, made out of indestructible plastic, will protect Deena's elbows, forearms, shoulders, chest, spine and even her tailbone from breaking every time that Chronic Falling Disorder kicks in.

Ronnie to Mike
Yeah, these housemates bumped heads--almost literally--while in Italy, but they've squashed their beef by now. And what better way for Ron to prove it than by giving his injury-prone buddy a stylish neck brace? (Ya know, just in case Mike and the infamous cement wall happen to collide again.) As silly as it sounds, this item IS indeed for sale--Ellen DeGeneres gave a similar one to Willow Smith on her show!

Snooki to JWOWW
This is more of a gag gift than anything, but it would surely get a huge laugh out of Jenni, who probably spent the most amount of time trying to get the coffeemaker to work in Florence, Italy. This one, by Moka Express, is an absolute classic. If she decides she's still a Starbucks girl, at least it'll look pretty in her kitchen.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are all smiles in Santa hats during a weekend getaway.

There is no greater sigh of relief than that which follows collegiate final exams. So it comes as no surprise that USC student Spencer Pratt sported a smile so wide this weekend, it would have seemed impossible he was ever considered the villain of the "Hills." A glimpse at this would have made the Grinch's heart grow FOUR times its size. Tough break, Whoville.

Spence and wife Heidi Montag shared a cozy weekend at old "Laguna Beach" favorite getaway, Mammoth Mountain, this weekend, and the only thing more noticeably white than the snow-capped mountains were the pair's teeth, which didn't get a break all day. When Speidi weren't on sleigh rides of their own design or enjoying some fresh powder on skis and a snowboard, they were giving JWOWW a run for her money on a couple's snowmobile outing. Heidi hasn't looked this happy since move-in day at the Villas at Park La Brea!

+ Check out photos of Speidi in all of their Kris Kringle glory, and let us know what your hopes for the couple are this Christmas. If it's not too late, we'll certainly settle for an advanced copy of Mrs. Pratt's tell-all book.

Speidi ride across a winter wonderland.

The lovebirds get flirty while hitting the slopes.

Were it not for fear of certain sedatives, Snooki's dream rack might already be erupting out of her shirt. But this holiday season, it looks as if the "Jersey Shore" meatball might risk anesthesia, anyway, if it means her chesticles will tower as high and mighty as those that belong to best bud JWOWW. "All I want for Christmas is big knockers like @JenniWOWW," Nicole recently tweeted.

While Santa should certainly consider all requests, we do have some concerns about this particular one. Like, will they fit down the chimney? Plus, we're not sure any of the elves have the necessary surgical experience to see this type of gift-giving through. Herbie might have been able to consult the guidette over basic orthodontia or whitening, but his experience outside the toy-making factory starts and stops with teeth.

As for Jenni, whose sought-after set isn't going anywhere, X-Mas vacation can't come soon enough. Roger got his girlfriend a big, bright novelty snowmobile with "JWOWW" plastered on the side! Nothing says wintry romance like avoiding a row of oaks by inches and accidentally treading over a woodland creature or two.

"Roger just texted me my early Christmas present!" Jenni tweeted.

We hated seeing Jenelle and Kieffer sleeping in her car during this week's episode of "Teen Mom 2," but we absolutely cringed when we watched them get into that heated parking lot fight. During the "Teen Mom 2 After Show," the young mom explained how Kieffer's drinking affects their relationship, and many of you had a lot to say about his alcohol-induced behavior. Here's a sprinkling of the reactions that were posted on Remote Control and Facebook

Remote Control:
"Kieffer is probably the worst choice Jenelle could have made for a boyfriend, his bad judgements/influences just drag her down further and further." -- Rachel

"I have ZERO sympathy for Jenelle. She doesn't deserve her child when she puts a Kieffer before Jace. That's absolutely ridiculous. He's not worth more than your son. NO ONE should be." -- Missy

"I see so much of my past self in Jenelle. I really wish she could see what really is going on. I think she is just a lost little girl who needs love and direction." -- Leslie

Snooki shows off her new svelte figure.

After months and months of exhausting fat-burning gym sessions, Snooki, who just took home a Slammy Award for her time in the WWE ring, has dropped down to her goal weight. Just yesterday, the "Jersey Shore" castie proudly tweeted the news, which was accompanied by a photo of herself in a revealing aquamarine monokini.

Elsewhere, Mike "The Situation" took a break from spritzing himself with Axe to invite his online followers to party with him. If you're in New York City tomorrow night and feel like taking back shots of protein-infused cocktails, then join Sitch as he pours out Devotion Vodka at Culture Club (we've personally been to the place, and it is awesome). But if you'd rather hang inside this weekend, then we suggest staying glued to Vinny's tweets--dude's been killing it with the one-liners lately.

Check out what they and other MTV stars were up to this week:

Liz Lee poses in a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' muscle tee.

The chick with hipster leanings who seemed like the perfect Brooklyn fit on "My Life As Liz" is abandoning the NYC borough and making a move to the other side of the country. That's right: Liz Lee will soon be a California girl, but first, she needs your help. Because Liz says she's got a little too much crap lying around her apartment that she'll need to part with before the big trip, she's asking fans to consider taking some off her hands through a virtual garage sale.

Is she moving for work? Maybe there's a guy on the other end of several interstates? We're not quite sure yet, but if relocating is all it takes to get our hands on a "Large vintage collared shirt with weird print" or "Love is a blind whore with a mental disease and no sense of humor" graphic tee, here's hoping she sees a transfer to France or Germany in 2012.

+ Make sure to check out Liz's Tumblr for a complete itemized list of what exactly she's hawking, and tell us which sale would make the perfect holiday gift. "Awesome bright colored flannel with weird pattern" is looking pretty good to us, but we certainly don't want to make the choice for you.

Bon voyage, L. Lee!
