Phone calls and words can no longer satisfy our mobile communication desires. We now crave ephemeral Snapchats, increasingly specific emojis, and Vine videos too short to have any meaning. Dubsmash offers yet another new form of lighthearted communication you never realized you wanted. This free iOS and Android app lets you record brief videos of yourself and sync the footage to a variety of wacky sounds. Dubsmash is dumb, and its popularity may be another sign of the breakdown of language, but at least it's funny.

In Sync

If you've ever enjoyed a "Lip Sync Battle", you'll understand the appeal of Dubsmash. Select a sound, whether it's a song or a famous line from a movie or even just a weird noise, and record a video of yourself to go along with it. Most people opt to sing or speak in sync with the sound so it looks like they are they are the ones performing, hence "dub." That's what apparent Adventure Time fan Hugh Jackman did.
