This is one of the more WTF videos I've seen in a while. It starts with a jack-in-the-box getting tossed off a school(?) bus in New York(?) and ends with one of the greatest reveals since Nicolas Roeg's 1973 psychological thriller, Don't Look Now.
It may very well be staged because it's just too good.
OMG I don't even know what to do with this! pic.twitter.com/Yl7MDwHNs8

[Updated 11/12/19 4:03pm PT] Indeed, it's a skit by Daniel Jean:
As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...

In recent years, American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba have been targeted with mysterious "sonic rays" (edit: actually there is no evidence that they were intentionally subjects to sonic rays). The attacks have caused the brains of the diplomats to shrink, according to a paper just published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
From The Telegraph:
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania noticed the whole white matter volume - areas of the central nervous system that affects learning - of the diplomats was roughly five percent smaller than usual.
Meanwhile the functional connectivity in the auditory network was down approximately 15 percent.
Dr Douglas Smith, who took part in the analysis, likened the neurological effects on some of the patients as an “electricity brown-out”.
“These types of changes are completely unknown to us,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
“We haven’t seen anything like it before and it’s very curious. What it is, we’re not sure, but there does appear to be something there.”
Dr Smith disclosed that while some of the patients have recovered, others still struggling with their symptoms.

An open letter to Post Consumer Brands:
In regards to your new Sour Patch Kids cereal, I quote Dr. Ian Malcom (and if there was EVER a time to pull out this quote, it's now):
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
And, they really shouldn't have.
Sincerely, Rusty.
P.S. Are you marketing these to kids or stoners?

Folks, it's not April 1st and this doesn't appear to be a joke. The new Sour Patch Kids cereal will be available at Walmart on December 26. Come next June, it will be available in a grocery store near you. Candy cereal, yup.

U.S. military intelligence analysis documents obtained by Newsweek reveal that defense officials do not believe there are terrorists or other national security threats present within the so-called “migrant caravan.” Despite this, Trump has demanded that up to 15,000 military troops be dispatched to the border, to brace for an “invasion” that doesn't exist, just before the midterm elections.
