A Blinding Collection of LasersLasers are an awesome upgrade to almost any situation. You could fire laser beams out of anything and it'd be mildly amusing for a little while. Let's take a laser-guided look at some of the more popular lasers in the history of the internet.

Every day you see something and probably think, "Needs more lasers!" Well, the internet has all kinds of lasers -- it's like you're standing on the sun and staring into the eyes of the mutant Cyclops. Lasers are great for single topic blogs, concerts and holiday videos. The only thing cooler would be laser beams with lasers shooting out of them. If you've seen other epic lasers on the internet, send us a tip or link them in the comments.

Hundreds of Laser Pointers and The Flaming Lips (Est. 2006)

During a concert in 2006, The Flaming Lips combined a sweet glowing orb with laser pointers. The video result is known to the web as "Jet Threads of the Red Sun."



Laser Harps (e.g., Beamz)

Block the beam and cue a sound. Add in some elaborate hand movements, a little bit of posing and in no time you'll have an infectiously cheesy stage act.

LASER PORTRAITS (Est. Sept. 2008)

The official title is "We have Lasers!!!!!!," but this Tumblr from our Urlbot Lindsey does the noble job of collecting embarrassing laser portraits. The go-to premiere background for School Picture Day in the 80s and 90s was the laser effect. Sure, you could get the plain gray background, but for just a few bucks more you could have lasers! These hip kids couldn't pass up the explosive punch of lasers.



Dino-Riders (Est. 1988)

Only 14 episodes of Dino-Riders were produced, but this image will live on forever as one of The Awesomest Things That Will Ever Exist.

This is awesome. Dino Riders meme.


Pew Pew Pew (Est. 2006)

Pew Pew Pew is an onomatopoeia for the sound lasers make in pop culture.

Babies With Laser Eyes (Est. Feb. 2010)

It may be the stuff of science fiction, but babies with laser eyes could become a reality if women aren't careful about what they eat during pregnancy. If babies start to come out of the womb emitting blinding light from their eyes, we can all look back at this blog to see the moment when laser babies started to take over the world.

Shoop Da Whoop "IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER" (Est. 2006)

Boooooooom! This image meme consists of a Dragonball Z character named Cell superimposed on pics and videos, shouting "SHOOP DA WHOOP," "IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER."

Robot Dinosaurs [The Game] (Est. Apr. 2009)

They really do shoot beams when they roar.




Animals Shooting Lasers [Videos] (Est. 2010)

Lasers videos have the advantage of also including awesome sound effects. This immaculate video collection features lasers shooting out of cats, cockatiels and chinchillas.



LASERT*TS NSFW! (Est. Mar. 2010)

This NSFW site is an incredibly obvious addition to the laser lexicon that we're surprised hasn't existed before this year. Certainly some young entrepreneur with a vision for single topic blogs will take this idea to the next logical NSFW location.

Laser Boobs NSFW



Laser Cats (Est. Apr. 2006)

These SNL Digital Shorts capitalized on the cross-breeding of lasers and cats. "There are two things that everyone loves, cats and lasers!" The cat obsessed internet kind of loved it.

This is the most misleading and disappointing use of lasers ever created.
