It's that time of year when everyone wants to couple up. The long cold nights, the string of holiday parties, and of course the midnight kiss on New Year's Eve. If you haven't already barfed from those first two sentences, than maybe you're emotionally stable enough to read this recap of the most impressive Internet couples covered by Someecards writers in 2015.  

1. That one couple with a little something extra to share in their big announcement. 

This couple's engagement photo went viral, thanks to a little something they didn't plan. (Or maybe a couple of little some-things they didn't plan.) If you look in the corner of the engagement photo, you can see a pregnancy test. 

2. These two, who finally settled on each other 30 years after blowing it the first time. 

Justin Pounders and Amy Giberson met on an online dating site and fell in love. If that wasn't unbelievable enough, the couple actually figured out they were pre-school sweethearts 30 years before. Their story has inspired many lonely people to search their yearbooks for any nose-pickers they may have written off too soon.  

3. The too-precious couple who chose to live in Victorian Times for some reason.

Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman​ dress and live every day like it's the Victorian Era. All they want for Christmas is a raging case of TB. 

4. This love sick dumb-dumb who stopped traffic to propose to his girlfriend.

Vidal Valladares Navas could possibly face six months in jail for obstruction of a highway after stopping traffic to propose to his fiancée near downtown Houston. His heart was in the right place, but his proposal definitely wasn't.

5. The IRL Barbie and Ken couple.

Proving there really is someone for everyone, Anastasia Reskoss and Quentin Dehar have spent around $300,000 on plastic surgery and various treatments to achieve their mutual goal: becoming human Barbie and Ken dolls. No word on if Quentin is flat in front like his idol. 

6. This new dad who took a selfie with his wife mid-push.

The wife of Reddit user gilsolano12 told her husband that she wanted a picture of their facial expressions when their baby was born. He decided that mid-push was the perfect time to snap that pic. The Internet confirmed that it was, indeed, a great idea.

7. The way-too-charming Drunk History Couple.

Newlyweds Justin Willman and Jillian Sipkins made this highly entertaining video in the style of the TV show Drunk History to explain to their wedding guests how they met. 

8. This guy, who would do anything for his girlfriend. ANYTHING.

Ayan Zhademov loved his girlfriend so much that he put on her skirt and a wig and tried to go to her school to take a test for her. He even tried to imitate her voice, but the 20-year-old just couldn't pull it off. Must've been the hairy legs. 

9. The couple that wouldn't let hospital regulations keep them apart.

Tom and Arnisteen Clark of Fayetteville, Georgia have been married for 68 years. When they got placed in separate hospital rooms, they decided that that was not cool. Some rules had to be broken to keep the lovebirds together, but old person love, uh, finds a way.

10. This woman who gave her kidney to a stranger, and then her heart (metaphorically).

Ashley McIntyre heard about a stranger needing a kidney, so she went ahead and donated hers. Not only did she save the stranger's life, she then went ahead and got engaged to him. They have baby on the way, a baby who will likely never see her Dad win an argument.

11. Chandler and Monica. Yes. That Chandler and Monica.

In December, "sources" mentioned that Monica and Chandler, aka Courtney Cox and Mathew Perry, were hooking up for realsies. The Internet appropriately freaked out, although neither will confirm whether the two are really more than Friends. (BUT THEY MADE OUT ON A TV SHOW! IT MUST BE REAL!)

12. That guy who took his Tinder date to China, making everyone else look lame.

It's a modern day fairy tale. Thomas Gallagher opened a Tinder convo by telling a girl he would take her to China. 6 months later, they landed in Beijing as documented in this romantic (but vertical) video he posted. 

13. This very nice teen who shaved his head to match his Homecoming date.

Allie Allen is a high school student battling cancer for the second time, so her homecoming date Brayden Carpenter surprised her by picking her up for the homecoming dance with a matching hairstyle.

14. The couple of rivals.

Carol and Warren Reckemeyer have been married for 63 years, despite being fans of opposite baseball teams. This photo of the couple went viral during the playoffs this year as the Cardinals played the Giants. They apparently called a truce for the game.

15. The girl who got engaged to pizza. 

This is the one couple everyone's actually rooting for. Nicole Larsen, who got a full-on engagement style photo shoot with her one true love, Pizza Hut Pizza. 

From the department of sex things that sound too good to be true, scientists from Texas A&M led by Dr. Mahua Choudhery announced last week the development of a new "Super Condom" that will provide extra stimulation for both partners while killing HIV viruses even in the event of a condom breaking. So that's good.

The promise to increase pleasure is just as important, researchers say, as the anti-HIV properties, because decreased sensation is the #1 reason partners of either sex cite for not using a condom. Dr. Choudhery's efforts made her one of 54 scientists to win the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's "Grand Challenge in Global Health" to create a cheap condom that solves both these issues.

The "Super Condom" gets its super properties from two modern medical buzzwords—hydrogel and antioxidants. The condom itself is made from a hydrogel polymer. Hydrogel, as the name implies, is really good at absorbing fluids, hence its uses in diapers and wound dressings. Although that might sounds like the opposite of what would enhance some wet and slippery fun, what actually makes it work is that the hydrogel is already saturated with an antioxidant called quercetin suspended throughout condom. Quercetin has shown to bond with and kill HIV viruses, and it also performs the role of enhancing pleasure for both partners. As Dr. Choudhery told the BBC, "The anti-oxidant will enhance neurotransmitters which will work with nerve endings, giving greater sexual pleasure." 

It's also a non-latex material, which is welcome news for millions of men ane women who are allergic to standard condoms, and Dr. Choudhery predicts that by the time their process is finalized, Super Condoms will also be less expensive than either latex or more-expensive sheepskin condoms. 

For a more scientific explanation of the Super Condom, head over to Tech Times. Otherwise, you can wait a year for the product to come to market (it doesn't require FDA approval) or drive to Texas and tell Dr. Choudhery that you've got a really big date tonight.

Steve Harvey, an institution of non-prime-time television, conducted Sunday night's Miss Universe pageant on Fox largely without incident until incorrectly announcingand crowning Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines. Besides the morbidly rewatchable footage of a young woman attaining and losing her dreams in a matter of minutes, it gets even worse when you understand the drama of the finalists. (The hammer drops at 2:45 in the video:)

A Miss Colombia has been crowned Miss Universe five times, making them tied with Miss Brazils for third overall behind Miss Venezuelas and Miss USAs. Furthermore, this year's Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutiérrez, stood to be the second Miss Colombia in the row to win, a feat only before accomplished by the Miss Venezuelas.

The Miss Philippines, no slouches, were in a four-way tie for fifth with two years as reigning Miss Universe. A victory by Miss Philippines 2015, Pia Wurtzbach, would propel them into the elite category of three-time winners with the Miss Finlands. Needless to say, countries were on edge.

The removal of her crown reduced Ms. Gutiérrez to tears (and back to a mere Miss Colombia), but Ms. Wurtzbach tried to approach her sobbing rival backstage. Unable to get past other supportive friends, she told the AP it was "probably bad timing." As for her feelings about winning this way, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach replied, "I did not take the crown from her, none of this was my fault."

It must be said of Mr. Harvey that he accepted his mistake in as forthright and apologetic a manner as possible, taking full responsibility for reading the runner up as the winner. Show organizers say he caught the mistake himself afterwards and wanted to take ownership of it. He also privately encouraged the winner that she still "should enjoy the moment."

Naturally, both women received statements of support from their respective governments. A spokesperson for the President of the Philippines said, "in bagging this victory, Ms. Wurtzbach not only serves as a tremendous source of pride for our people, but also holds up the banner of our women and of our country-as a true representative of what the Filipina can achieve." The President of Colombia took directly to social media, tweeting "For us, you will continue being miss universe! We are very proud!"

Prior to this, the show was in the news for not being broadcast on Univision because of Donald Trump's now-ancient-seeming remark in August about Mexican immigrants were criminals and rapists. So in some ways, this debacle is a step up, PR-wise. Donald Trump is no longer associated with any of the Miss organizations anymore, having sold the parent company of Misses Universe, USA, and Teen USA in September.

Steve Harvey had one job: announce the winner of the Miss Universe beauty pageant. Somehow he managed to screw that up, congratulating Miss Colombia, when the winner was Miss Philippines. No one could have possibly seen this error coming, except (somehow, inexplicably) THIS GUY:

The Rock shared a photo with his new (as in, hot off the presses) baby on Facebook. It's a girl. A girl who is very, verytiny. And he's holding her against his highly tatooed chest for a "cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment."

Mr. Rock, also known as Dwayne Johnson by people who don't appreciate a cool nickname when they see one, posted the picture along with a very long caption describing his joy, parenting philosophy, and strong opinions about men joining their partners in the delivery room. 

Christmas came early! Within minutes of being born she was laying on daddy's chest. And being a grateful man takes on a whole new meaning... Thank you guys so much for the awesome congratulatory wishes and love you've been sending @Lauren Hashian Official and myself. We're extremely grateful. 

Kinda crazy but in this cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment with my newborn baby Jasmine, I had just one wish I asked the universe... Give me the strength to be a better man today than I was yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then I'd have a good shot at being a great father. To all you young men out there who will be fathers one day, the goal of "being better" will never steer you wrong. Trust me I've been down this road. 

Something else that'll never steer you wrong is "walking thru the fire" with your baby's mama. I was right there during labor, helping her breathe, every highly intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the actual birth, cutting the cord and wiping the tears. Incredible. *(Now don't get me wrong boys, it wasn't like I was at the end of the table, squatting like a catcher waiting for the fastball to come down the pike.. but as men, it's a miracle we should witness because it'll give you a whole new respect for the strength and beauty of a woman). 

Again, THANK YOU guys so much for all the love during this blessed time. I always say I'm a lucky dude because I've got the greatest fans in the world - and it's true. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your families from ours.

Welcome to the world, Jasmine, and thank you to all the doctors who dedicate their lives to squatting like a catcher waiting for the fastball to come down the pike.

J.K. Rowling co-wrote the official eighth Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will soon be staged as a two-part play in London. The events of the play take place 19 years after the events of last book, and the cast was announced over the weekend:

Olivier Award-winning actress Noma Dumezweni will play Hermione. People on Twitter had very different reactions to the news of their favorite witch being black. Some celebrated this exciting step for representation, while others were not into it at all.

In response, Rowling announced her official ruling:

 Black Hermione fits within the canon. The woman who created her would know.

Kim Kardashian-West is launching an emoji app today, called, appropriately, "Kimoji." One of the emoji is of her butt, so you know this new app is important to her. It makes sense, because obviously, emoji are an important part of Kim Kardashian's life—it's how she announced Saint West to the world, after all.

Notice that in addition to Kim Kardashian's butt, the emoji also features awful contouring, a waist trainer, and her distinctive crying face (it also has a Hokusai wave for some reason?). It's further proof that Kardashian, or her Muppeteer, has a sense of humor. Though you probably already knew that from her first app, the game "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood."

Gav Murphy is a video producer for IGN and scored some early tickets to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. People have been absolutely nuts about avoiding spoilers for this movie. They won't even tell you who won the "Star Wars," no matter how many times you ask! So, like any good troll, Murphy took this opportunity and used it to torment a friend who'd gotten on his bad side by ruining all his favorite shows with spoilers for years. Then he posted about it on Twitter so we could all enjoy a taste of the dish that's best served cold.

None of the spoilers he sent were real, because he's not a sociopath.

Here's a close up and his proof of purchase:

Too bad he blacked out those fake spoilers, that would have been fun to spread around. Oh well. Here's Murphy after a night of sweet vengeance and a movie with his one true love:

Comedian Amy Schumer gets a lot of criticism and most of it is about her looks. She spends so much time defending her right to appear on TV, it's incredible she has any hours left in the day to make fantastic comedy. Especially when she's coming up with nearly naked responses like this one:

Last week, The Hollywood Reporter published an interview between Schumer, writer/director Aaron Sorkin and a few other writers and producers, in which they talked about the effect of Internet criticism on the creative process. Sorkin is a big scaredy cat when it comes to computers and Schumer stepped in to reassure him after he said,"The Internet in general I find troubling. The anonymity has made us all meaner and dumber. This thing that was supposed to bring us closer together, I see it doing the opposite." During her reassurance she let an interesting tidbit drop:

The things that you’re afraid they’re going to say are so much worse than anything they actually say. But you’ve already put your nervous system through that fear. With Trainwreck coming out, I was like, “Everyone’s going to say, ‘She’s not pretty enough to be in this movie.'” And then only one dude wrote that, and people really attacked him, and then he redacted that and wanted to date me. I’ve been waiting for this rainstorm of hate, and it’s never really come.

So, who is this evil horny critic who was mocking Schumer because he liked her? Well, it could be Jeffrey Wells who wrote in a review:

She's obviously sharp and clever and funny as far as the woe-is-me, self-deprecating thing goes, but there's no way she'd be an object of heated romantic interest in the real world. And yet that's the apparent premise of Apatow's film.

But it could also be Paul Chambers who barfed this up:

Amy Schumer is one of those borderline beauties...You glance at her one moment, and she's very attractive. But, then a few seconds later, her pug face materializes and you know why she chose a standup career. Well, it's not all standup.

Wow, such charmers! Do you think she said yes?

The most hilarious yet terrible thing to happen yesterday was Steve Harvey announcing the wrong winner for the Miss Universe pageant. Some are speculating the whole thing was a publicity stunt to make people talk about the Miss Universe pageant, but it doesn't seem like Miss Colombia or Miss Philippines were in on it, so it was awkward as hell for both of them.

If it was an "honest mistake" as Steve Harvey claims, then he should be run out of the hosting business forever, because this is what the ballot looked like:

As you can see, the 1st runner up, 2nd runner up and Miss Universe winner are all pretty clearly labeled and separated. It is a little confusing that, in pageants, the 2nd place winner is called the 1st runner up, but that's been the standard for a long time. Anyone who is being paid to work at a pageant should be up-to-date on the lingo.

Kim Kardashian did a livestream on Friday and gave an update on her post-pregnancy boobs. According to sources (Kim Kardashian, photographs, common sense), they're huge. 

Kardashian tweeted, likely at least somewhat rhetorically, "should i live stream? what's everyone doing?"

Quick! Tell Kim Kardashian what you're doing! She might never ask again!

She proceeded to livestream to subscribers of her app, and E! says she announced, "My boobs look enormous, which they are."

If you don't pay the big bucks for her app, screenshots abound:

This is the first glimpse of Kim K. since she gave birth to Saint West on December 5. So that's what she looks like in case you forgot.

Ted Cruz, a politician that even Republican representatives are on record as hating, released a spoof ad during Saturday Night Live in Iowa that's done exactly in the style of an SNL commercial sketch, if the writing staff for SNL was made up of 16 youth pastors who pressured their girlfriends into secret abortions. In this ad, Ted Cruz reveals himself to be that guy who sat behind you in high school calculus—he thinks he's a comedian just because he can do some Simpsons voices. 

The joke is about how one time, Ted Cruz pretended to filibuster Obamacare by reading Green Eggs and Ham at a time when his fake filibuster wouldn't actually stop any vote and so he spoke for 21 hours on the Senate floor for no actual reason. That moment in history, at least, was pretty funny.

Dads straight up crushed it in 2015. Dad bods were hot, dad jokes were actually kind of funny, and there was even a dad president! (Ok, so that's a thing every year.) Whether fashionable, creative or just super embarrassing, dads were responsible for a lot of laughs and even more eye rolls in 2015. Here are the 15 most memorable dad moments of the year.

1. The dad who made good on the threat to his daughter's boyfriend.​

Fathers have been threatening this line forever. Finally, one hilarious dad made good on his promise with the best dad photobomb ever.

2. The dad who pretended to kill his son for a prank.

Roman Atwood has made not one, but two viral videos where he pretends to kill his kid. He's raked in a lot of YouTube money, but zero "#1 Dad" mugs. 

3. The dad who accidentally filmed his whole vacation in selfie-mode.

This Irish dad went on vacation in Las Vegas and captured all the sights of Sin City. The only problem was his camera facing the wrong way the entire time. The result was a hilarious oops that made our list of Best Selfies of 2015. 

4. The dad who was a PBILF.

Channing Tatum hid his hotness under a terrifying knock-off Winnie the Pooh costume for his daughter's Halloween party at school. This is what it's like to have a fantasy become a nightmare.

5. The dad who was an elf.

This Christmas-crazed dad transformed himself into a real-life Elf on the Shelf, every day of December, delighting people from around the world on Facebook, and giving his kids a lot to discuss with their future therapists.  

6. The single dad who took an awesome family photo with his daughters.

Usually dads are embarrassing, but this picture has a real cool vibe. He even got their hair looking sharp. Score one for the hot single dads!

7. The Frozen dad who melted the Internet's heart.

This dad dressed up like Elsa to his daughter's Olaf, and it wasn't even Halloween. The father and daughter duo were on their way to a Frozen sing-a-long when the photo was captured.

8. The dad who got the least embarrassing head tattoo.

When his hearing-impaired daughter had to get a cochlear implant, this loving father shaved his head and got his first tattoo ever. All so his kid wouldn't feel alone.

9. The dad who played catch with his daughter at her wedding.

The whole traditional father/daughter slow dance thing just wasn't them. Thisdad surprised his daughter with a game of catch instead. 

10. The Freaky Friday dad.

On Halloween, this father and son duo dressed up as each other and freaked out everyone on the Internet. 

11. The dad who pulled his son's tooth with a bitchin' Camaro.

Professional wrestler Rob Venomous got rid of his son's loose baby tooth in the most bad ass way possible, by ripping it out with a hot rod. 

12. The dad who let his 4-year-old daughter give him a tattoo.

When your dad owns a tattoo parlor, there are certain perks. Like he lets you use his arm as a coloring book. This trusting tatted-up dad let his pre-schooler tattoo his skin, for a permanent reminder of Take Your Daughter to Work Day.

13. The dad who acted out video games.

Not sure if he hypnotized him or what, but some guy got his dad to act out all the moves from Super Smash Bros. It was the role he was born to play. Nailed it.  

14. The dad who got completely sh*t on.

This dad probably had a different vision for how this professional photo shoot with his baby was going to go. But baby DGAF. The result was a classic picture of baby doing what babies do best.  

15. The dad who turned his baby into an Elf on the Shelf.

With a little help from Photoshop, this creative dad achieved the unthinkable... a non-creepy Elf on the Shelf.  

Channing Tatum shared a photo to Instagram featuring his two-year-old daughter, Everly, and his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, dressed up as mermaids. And it's about time! 

You'll notice in the picture that Everly looks extremely cute, Dewan-Tatum looks gorgeous, and they're both wearing purple mermaid tails that would potentially allow them to efficiently navigate the sea. Tatum captioned the photo, "Happening," seemingly to indicate that his family dressing up as cool, fashionable, fish-people was actually occurring in reality.

Hopefully, others will catch on to this trendy twist to the celebrity baby photo, because a standard adorable portrait doesn't really cut it anymore in today's competitively cute landscape. Maybe that's why Saint West is taking such a long time planning his photographic debut.

With their looping stupidity and short hilarity, the Vine video has become a bona fide art form. Whether they star dogs, Jeb Bush, or self-proclaimed "Vine stars," these six-second cinematic masterpieces are the perfect way to sum up the year in memes, jokes, and music. Here are the 20 best Vine of 2015:

1. This clever dad.

Shakira herself enjoyed it:

2. This rockin' dog.

This is one you can enjoy on an infinite loop.

3. This holy game of tennis.

The score is always "love."

4. This sad frog.

This Vine represents the transition from the weekend to Monday.

5. This badass crab.

Dancing like crabs at the club is the new getting crabs at the club.

6. This crazy twist.

Would not want to neck with this guy.

7. This pack of Pikachus. 

This is the very best, like no Vine ever was.

8. This dog in rain boots.

"What a glorious feeling... I'm happy again."

9. This hamster Tom Cruise.

Mission: Accomplished.

10. This serene af dog.

If only humans could feel this calm in the snow.

11. This mini-Jaws.

You're gonna need a bigger bath.

12. This maniac.

Cleaning the house can be dangerous.

13. This puppy chase.

If only all police work was as cute as this.

14. This honest mistake.

Po-tay-to, po-taw-to. Keys, printer.

15. This Shia/Michael mashup.

Shia should have replaced Michael Scott at Dunder Mifflin.

16. This ultimate Drake meme.

The dance only makes sense with a tennis racket in hand.

17. This truth.

IT'S TIME YOU KNEW, KIDS.

18. This glorious perspective.

Never lose sight of the simple joys. There are miracles all around.

19. This meta meme.

The IT'S JOHN CENA meme introduces the wrestler and Trainwreck star when you least expect him — and this little man makes a great understudy.

20. This grown man who doesn't know how zippers work.

He also happens to be running for president. Zip-ups just go over Jeb Bush's head.
