In this week's viral video recap, we see moments of inspiration, extreme adventure, silly animals and yet another parody of Twilight.

One cat realizes he can tease another by dangling a piece of bait attached to a fishing rod. Posted on April 19, the 30-second clip has already attracted 1.3 million views.

But animal interactions with people are sometimes more meaningful than with other animals. Lisa Abeyta posted a video of her Alzheimer's-stricken father — who lost most of his ability to speak — chatting with the family dog.

From one end of the life spectrum to the other, a father and young son team up to simulate the son walking out his front door — with goggles on his face — and then skydiving. The best part might be the "behind-the-scenes" footage at the end.

Instead of jumping out your front door, why not jump off the tallest building in the world? Two Frenchmen, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, BASE jumped off the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai — the world's tallest building — to break a world record. The stunt is pretty incredible, and the video has attracted 4.4 million views so far.

Finally, if you need to get a Twilight fix, check out another bad lip reading of, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse film.

You can watch the highlights of these viral video moments in the video above.
