The Family That Cosplays Together Stays TogetherHow do you make cosplay so entertaining that people stop and stare whenever you show up? Their jaws drop, and then they laugh and want their picture taken with you? It's as simple as having a buddy as a prop. Jason Smith and his family Caroline, Lachlan, and Claudia, together known as Sumisu Cosplay, let creativity be their guide. The funniest cosplays are the ones where Jason plays the prop for his son Lachlan, the star of the show. Here they recreate the most iconic scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark at MCM Comic Con, as Indiana Jones outruns a giant boulder.

A Henchman Must Choose His Master CarefullySorry, I meant to type “henchperson”. It’s important to use gender-inclusive language these days.I learned that during my new employee orientation with The Great Hungerer. I decided on serving him as my eternal master because my previous dental insurance was totally inadequate and my kids are now well past daycare age. A younger self would have chosen Draconnius III, who actually presents a matrimonial service for employees. That would have been a compelling offer in my early 20s.But now, as always, I have to look at what an employer offers me. The days of company loyalty are over. Honestly, most dark overlords think of minions as just disposable tools to use during global conquest schemes. We’re not really people to them. Keep that in mind as you browse the menu of options depicted by cartoonist Fred Malm.-via Ben

The Lost Art of Geography(Image credit: Zilde2)Sometimes the things people say on the internet will make you weep for humanity. Geography is such a ripe subject for these misunderstandings because it is rarely taught in American schools, often as just a sidebar in Social Studies, and only then when there's time left after going over all the wars. We should do something about that, because there's no shortage of folks who will broadcast their ignorance for the world to see.

Lizards in the Kitchen, Cooking Up TreatsWhen I came across a cooking show starring bearded dragons, I didn't know whether it should be posted to TastyTastic or Supa Fluffy. Then I watched a few videos, and knew it would be most appropriate here at Laughosaurus. Meaning, both the "laugh" part and the "saurus" part. The show is called Chef Lenny the Lizard and Sons, even though Lenny has gone to that great kitchen in the sky and there is only one son and two daughters. They are Samson, Betty, and Chef Lewis (who is female). Chef Lewis is a whiz at making any dish -in miniature. Like pizza.

Who Is a Good Dog?Come on, puppy! You've got bigger things to worry about than your human learning about the shoes! The feds are honing in on the Reno job and you're coming up as a likely suspect due to your past . . . incidents.To the feds, you'll never be a good dog. But while your human thinks that you are, plant the evidence on him so that he can take the fall for you. This dog in Chris Hallbeck's Maximumble needs to think through all of his options.

A Stormtrooper on Solo Patrol Encounters an AlienWhat the Star Wars universe needs is more stormtroopers with real personalities. We have Finn from the last trilogy, and Gary from Adult Swim, but there are thousands of stormtroopers, and all we know about them is that they are poor shots. Now we have TK-FING, a regular guy who's not all that smart, but has a heart of gold. In this video, thinks he is on patrol to watch for suspicious characters and evidence of rebellion. But instead, he's got a lost little girl. The problem is that she's an Aqualish, he doesn't know her language, and she looks like a butt. As you are no doubt repeating, "a face only a mother could love."This Star Wars short film is brought to you by AFK. Peter Haynes created Solo Patrol as part of his For The Empire series, in which TK-FNG is a recurring character. You can see all the episodes so far in this playlist. -via Geeks Are Sexy
