5.  Ever seen those kids on mountain or BMX bikes doing cool tricks? Yeah, well here’s a guy doing crazy stunts on a damn road bike. Now that’s what I call disrupting the status quo.

4. Note to self: buy more bananas. If you know your Chris Walken references, that’s the one from the time Kevin Pollock, who does a mean Walken impersonation, called Walken in Walken’s voice and left a voicemail to buy more bananas. Anyway, that’s not what you’re seeing today – rather, it’s the CW reading Mama Boo Boo. So good.

Those darn Barbarians are back at it again with another intriguing online project, this time involving the Facebook community and the comedic skills of Funny or Die folks for what’s essentially an internet taste test that promotes Pepsi Next.

Facebook users can opt-in on the Pepsi Next site and “taste” the low-sugar beverage by watching FoD comedians simulate you drinking it. How? Well, over the next five days on four sound stages in LA, 12 FunnyorDie comics will taste Next for selected Facebook users who opted in based on their online personas including recent experiences and Likes. The fan videos will then be edited and posted back to selected users in approximately 24 hours of the shoot. The how-to video above featuring taste test host Rob Riggle, should help explain things somewhat. PepsiCo Beverages head of digital (and Razorfish alum) Shiv Singh tells Mashable, “It will be very close to who they actually are. We have improv comedians on standby.”

In case actor/comedian/actual U.S. Marine Corps officer Rob Riggle isn’t clear in the above spot, Call of Duty: Elite is not a new game in the COD franchise. In fact, it’s a subscription-based service that offers players of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 exclusive, downloadable game content for a yearly fee of $49.99. Ad that to the average $59.99 retail price of new video games, and you have die-hard gamers paying over $100.00 for a single title. No bad, Activision.

In order to give Elite its own separate brand identity, 72andSunny tapped Riggle to act as the service’s spokesperson. Each month, Riggle will star in a new web video describing the latest content available to Elite members, undoubtedly making his country proud by putting his military training to use in the civilian world. Well, he definitely looks less out of place than Jonah Hill did in the COW:MW3 launch spots from November. But, we’d take Hill discussing explosions in profane detail over Riggle standing awkwardly on a virtual battlefield any day. Watch Riggle update Elite subscribers on the downloadable content for this month below.
