In this Friday’s installment of our partnership with 5by, the video discovery and messaging platform that curates the web’s best viral videos, we take a look at the top five videos of the week from the platform’s TV category.
Coffee culture is getting out of hand and no one demonstrates that better than Conan’s Associate Producer, Jordan Schlansky.

Finally, Jim Carrey had the Internet going wild with the ‘Illuminati’ secret hand signal he displayed to the world on Jimmy Kimmel. The comment sections of wherever this video was shared blew up with conspiracists and trolls, exchanging theories, and their own hypotheses on what it all meant. Jim still knows how to get people talking.
