Cute Liddle Puddy Cat
It doesn't get cuter than this. If you are a man or have no heart, look away NOW!

Cute Sloth
Actually, it does get cuter. We defy you to watch this clip without saying "aaaaaah"' as your heart melts and starts dripping down your leg.

Me Me Me Me Me Me Me!
This is a hilarious reminder of the genius of The Muppet Show. We took it for granted when we were kids, but there's a majesty to its mixing of surreal, silly and clever humour in one multicoloured freak show. Don't let your kids take it for granted. Subject them to this clip of Beaker singing his heart out. Over and over again. That'll show them.

The Swedish Chef
Meatballs. Chocolate cake. Mutton soup. No Nordic delicacy was beyond the Swedish Chef. Here he is in his norsh-burd-de-hurdy-durd prime, making a bananananananana split. Brilliant!

Dog on a Hamster Wheel
Well, if you were a dog, that's what you'd do, right?

Three Guinea Pigs v One Cucumber
Forget the Ultimate Fighting Championship, WWE, and Optimus Prime v The Decepticons, this battle will go down in legend. Place your bets. Which one will win? The brown one, the black one, or the tiny white one?

Laughing Baby
This clip is guaranteed to have your child rolling around the kitchen floor. Skip this clip, though, if your offspring is eight years old or above.

Tom & Jerry
This is a lengthy six-minute clip of the indefatigable duo (Fred Quimby era). Enough time for you to have a cigarette, down a large coffee, read half a newspaper, or get a quarter of a power nap. Whatever you need - do it right now.

Kitten Eating a Melon
Only a child can stomach the entire 2 minutes 30 seconds of this unbelievably fluffy segment. No adult in existence can possibly watch it through to its saccharine end. Yes, that's a challenge.
