MTV Remote Control Blog › Rob Dyrdek

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.

We want to make sure that you don't miss a single bit of stupidity, so here are four more of the wildest happenings on the web (one was even fan-submitted!).

The Puppy King
Forcing your dog to eat out of a tin bowl on the kitchen floor is so passé, not to mention, highly unsophisticated. Which probably explains why this pet owner gave his hound a nifty throne to eat his kibble on.

Careful For The Flying Trampoline
When Conor Guichan started filming a massive storm in his hometown, he had no idea that he'd spot a runaway trampoline in the midst of flying debris. His reaction totally reminds us of the "Double Rainbow" guy.

Ultimate Frisbee Catch
We don't care what you accomplished on your co-ed naked college team, this trick takes the cake. Watch as a kid tosses a Frisbee off a bridge and his buddy jumps out of a moving speedboat just in time to grab it. Pretty sick.

Kitten Embrace
It's always a relief to wake up from a terrifying nightmare, but how amazing would it be if you were immediately embraced by a cuddly cat? That's what happens to this little feline, who seemed to be having a troubling dream.

Nicki Minaj offers "ABDC" Season 6 hopefuls advice on being unique.

We at MTV are confident our talent has what it takes to keep you laughing, crying and sometimes even gagging, but once in awhile, it's nice to throw some spice into the mix and call on the efforts of our celeb friends that are willing to sacrifice the safety of their crotches for a funny stunt, or simply poke a little fun at themselves. Check out our network's best cameos of 2011, including a whole bunch of stops at Rob Dyrdek's "Fantasy Factory." Hey, if you build it, they will come...

Moment: Nicki Minaj Pushes For Out-Of-The-Box Moves
Show: "America's Best Dance Crew"
It's no secret that Nicki Minaj is eccentric, so when she stopped by "ABDC" she had a simple challenge for the competition's four remaining crews: follow suit and be unique. Check out the clip for some shock and awe as the MC sweetheart pays the hip-shakers a visit at the studios.

Moment: Swizz Beatz Weighs In On The "ABDC" Finalists
Show: "America's Best Dance Crew"
"ABDC" host Layla Kayleigh sat down with producer Swizz Beatz to get his take on Season 6 of the show. Kayleigh managed to bring out the inner goofball within the straight shooter, who said IaMMe, the group that went on to win the competition, had his favorite move of the season.

Moment: Vinny Guadagnino Won't Give Service With A Smile
Show: "Disaster Date"
Vinny's generally considered the nice guy of Seaside Heights, so it was a little unnerving to see him play a foul-mouthed, hotheaded waiter on "Disaster Date." When Vinny called out a restaurant patron for her rudeness, her boyfriend looked ready to sock him, but the guy managed to keep his cool and win some cash for enduring Vin's deplorable customer service.

She's Got The Moves
Think turning up the incline to nine makes you the gym's most impressive athlete? Hardly. Check out this woman dancing like no one's watching, while everyone, including a dude with a camera, is most definitely watching.

On The Fast Track
Hey, if we had these kinds of descents down picturesque mountains in New York, we'd be right there with the Austrians. Check out the coolest pet project ever--a single rail roller-coaster careening down the Alpines of Mieders, Austria. Safe? Maybe, maybe not. Awesome? Why yes, yes it is.

Man's New Best Friend
This guy's bestie goes "meow" instead of "woof." Don't hate--when's the last time your dog washed your hair?

The Snake Jammer
Liu Fei, an entertainer from China, welcomes his pet snake right into his nasal passage! This one will make you squirm...

Frankie, The Dish-Washing Dancer
No one likes doing chores, which is probably why Frankie opted to blast--and dance to--"Smooth Criminal" while scrubbing dishes. Too bad for him (but not for us!), his dad was hiding in the corridor filming the whole thing go down.

240 Miles Above The Earth
Taken from the International Space Station, this time-lapse video might be the best we've ever seen--you can even spot the severe weather patterns as they happen. It's hard to believe this is untouched footage.

The 'Do Not Try This At Home' Prototype
Just a typical Sunday afternoon: Grandma on her lawn chair. Sparky scouting the lawn for stray bits of barbecue. Guy and girl dancing with swords. Check out the two spin some sharp objects and pray no sudden loud noise distracts them.

That'll Be $4.50. Keep The Change.
Maybe he was waiting for his Annie's Mac 'N' Cheese to cool--we can't be sure. But for some reason, Paul Green Jr. decided to spend 69 precious seconds of his life stuffing cold, hard cash up his nose. He set a world record for his efforts and earned a rightful key to the WTF club.
