It’s a weird time to be alive. The midwest is burning, L.A.’s in a drought, and you still can’t like comments on Instagram. Not only that, but a gang of criminals have begun a campaign of terror to dunk celebrities in ice-water as a protest against a "Waterworld" remake.

Kidding!

The ice-bucket challenge is a charming attempt to raise ALS awareness that every major public figure with a heart (and a smart publicist) has taken part in. Now that people like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber have taken part, this thing is catching on like wildfire. Here's a few of our favorites.

Weird Al, emperor of parody receives his baptismal bucket in a beautiful pastoral setting, and calls out Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, and the pope.

LeBron gets iced on a yacht, because why not. The ocean is the world’s biggest ice bucket and we’re all just floating in it, man.

The "Guardians Of The Galaxy" star tries to skip the ice bucket in favor of alcohol; needless to say, that doesn’t work. This is the first ice bucket video to include the word “buttcrack.”

Selena takes her bucket like a champ and easily wins the “most overt Instagram filter on an ice bucket video” sub-challenge.

The Girls star gets to the heart of the matter with a bloodcurdling scream. Life is pain.

Hark; in the year 2014 it was thus that the richest man in the land did devise a machine to wet himself on a dock.

Who should do the ice bucket challenge next? Definitely Obama since he's now been nominated three separate times—by Weird Al, LeBron and the Biebs himself! Let us know what other celebs you'd like to see ICED in the comments.
