Earlier this week, fellow Watch This Now blogger Kathy Bushouse brought you "Gary Busey attacks Ryan Seacrest on the Red Carpet." Today, I bring you Gary Busey disses 11-year-old reporter at Oscar after-party.

Someone get this guy a reality TV show on Bravo pronto.

A 3-year-old explains "Star Wars"

This clip is getting some serious love on YouTube. It was posted last Friday, and as of Monday night had more than 1.8 million hits.

I can see why it's so popular. Not only is she adorable, but she makes a lot more sense than all of The Phantom Menace.

Babies love Rick Astley

I can completely relate to this video, only because for a time my infant son would only stop crying when we played one of two songs -- Olivia Newton-John's "Xanadu" and Young MC's "Bust a Move."

This video makes me happy to know I'm not alone in playing cheesy songs to appease a bawling baby. Does this mean I now have to download Rick Astley onto my iPod?

Diaper kid sings "Hey Jude"

In this video, a diaper-wearing kid sings "Hey Jude." It reminds me of when my friends and I go out to karaoke. I think this kid sounds better than us most of the time.

Keep your hands to yourself.

It's pretty clear I underestimate the entertainment value of kids and animals.

This clip of a baby biting a kid (and by the way, let this serve as a lesson -- you totally do not taunt a baby like that and expect to escape unharmed) has received more than 2 million hits on YouTube and inspired a slew of parodies.

Here's the original:

And here's the future Charlie:

Give him the evil eye

For some reason, when I would give my parents the "evil eye" they wouldn't encourage me to do it again. Watch as this baby gives the "evil eye" and then giggles.

Why you need a cooties shot

These brave kids came forward to talk about an illness devastating playgrounds across America:

Cooties.

The only known vaccine available is "circle, circle, dot, dot, now you've got your cooties shot."

Ready, Set, Bumbo

I have two questions for the makers of the “Ready, Set, Bumbo” series.

1) Where did you find the time? I’m a new parent, and some days I feel like it’s a miracle that I’m able to get out of bed and function as a normal adult. I don’t know what impressed me more: The stop-motion camera work or the fact that your house is spotless.

2) Can you please tell me how you got a baby to sit long enough in the Bumbo (which, for the uninitiated, is just a plastic seat) to accomplish all this? We consider ourselves lucky if our 5-month-old can be still through dinner.

For the uninitiated, a Bumbo is a molded seat that helps infants sit upright. Our son likes to try and escape from his. We have not yet tried to videotape this and post it on YouTube. We still have not figured out how to work our video camera.

You don’t have to be a parent to find these clips amusing. Just make sure to watch the series in order. Like Star Wars (Nos. four through six, not the prequels) and Harry Potter, the clips each stand on their own, but it all makes more sense if viewed in sequence.

Bumbo I:

Bumbo II:


Bumbo III:
