Bollywood, Filtered
DDLJ's iconic final dramatic scene, redone with Snapchat filters, has been watched by over 3 million. Scoopwhoop's ridiculous video makes use of dog tongue, bee face, flowers in the hair, tears and rainbow puke to great effect. Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Amrish Puri never looked funnier. In Bollywood and on the web, exaggeration rules.

Being a Joker
Jared Leto's choice of outfit at the Suicide Squad premiere has been put down to fanboying at a Gucci show. But after memes did the rounds, he clarified that his goofball expression was not directed at the green coat but at a friend across the runway.
Twitter tattle
Farhan Akhtar's singing skills are questionable at best. That he will be performing at the NH7 Weekender music festival had people going into sarcasm overdrive. He is said to have a frog-like voice, but the biggest barb came from Akhtar himself, when he tweeted about starting his 'rasp'berry juice diet.
Web win
Australian Olympian Mack Horton, after beating China's Sun Yang to win gold in the 400 m freestyle, called him a 'drug cheat'. Incensed, Chinese fans incessantly trolled an Englishman by the same name, in a case of mistaken identity. Swimmer Horton has refused to apologise and called upon other athletes to name 'dopers'.
Viral video
Over 7 million were glued to a clip of Homer and Marge Simpson choosing between Clinton and Trump.
One million watched in fascination as a man parked his car in what is essentially a hole in the wall.
Over 3 million enjoyed a video of Jimmy Fallon and actor Seth Rogen lip-syncing to old hip-hop songs.
