Beer O'clock Nine

1. Best marriage proposal ever?

2. Obama sings 'Call Me Maybe'
OK, you'll feel cheated by that headline – it's actually a mash-together of various Obama snippets giving the impression the president is singing a staccato version of Carly Rae Jepsen's hit – but we were tricked by that headline all week and we're bitter. So cop it. Also: it's still quite good. 
 

3. Grace Jones sings 'Slave to the Rhythm' – and hula-hoops the whole time

One thing that was pretty good, though: Grace Jones hula-hooping. For a long time. Click... play... 


4. The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction 
One Direction. Re-imagined as superheroes. Working for a strange being named 'Psymon' (get it?). A bit of animated fan-fiction that's often times very funny and always very odd. 
 

5. Django Unchained trailer
OK fanboys: this one's for you. "The D is silent."
