Here we have thousands of cheese wheels rolling down a mountain:
Why fight a normal Frost Troll when you can fight a Frost Trolololol?

And this one is quite funny: adding a laugh track to the game:
This Skyrim Christmas Lights Display Officially Wins Christmas
Whoever this person is, they have officially won Christmas. It’s the Skyrim theme song illustrated with the most elaborate Christmas lights display ever!
According to the Youtube page, the guy is 19 and lives in Minnesota. He makes elaborate Christmas light displays as a hobby. I’ve heard of worse hobbies. Hats off to this person, fellow geeks. He is the champion this day.
