Vid Picks: Enjoy Easter With These Web Videos

What better way to celebrate Easter than with a little video fun? Here are a four videos that will teach you, make you laugh, and even gross you out.

First up, learn how to die your own Easter eggs in six different ways. Instead of the plain Jane, solid-colored eggs, this video will show you how to make multicolored eggs, stickered eggs, splatter-colored eggs and more. Perfect for filling up any basket, or hiding for a hunt.

Those sugary marshmallow Peeps are an annual tradition. Though your mom told you to not play with your food, this video demonstrates how you can turn these holiday staples into art. All you need are a couple boxes of Peeps and a microwave. Yes, a microwave. Sure, it’s a little cruel to turn those Peeps into a mound of goo, but according to the video’s host, you can create confectionary art worthy of hanging in the Guggenheim.

You don’t normally equate Easter with laughs, but that’s exactly what comedy group Black20 did back in 2006 with The Easter Bunny Hates You, which racked up millions of plays and became a viral video hit. Instead of treats, this sadistic (but cuddly!) Easter bunny brings the pain to anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path. There are even nun-chuks!

If that twisted Bunny tale whet your appetite, perhaps you can graduate up to the truly bent minds of Mondo Media. This small animation studio has parlayed gross-out gags with cute l’il animated creatures into a bona fide web franchise with Happy Tree Friends, which generates roughly 26 million plays a month on YouTube. This video is not for the faint of heart (or weak of stomach), but if you can get past the exploding stomach (hilarious, really!) then it will definitely put a smile on your face.
