The Feed: Wrap up of the week's best viral videos

(CBS News) Imagine this: You set your out of office message, close the laptop and shutdown the smartphone. Eleven days of vacation come and go. Now, you're relaxed and ready to get back into the swing of things. But when you return home, you find your day-to-day life is completely changed. The weather has grown colder. Food tastes different. Your friends have inside jokes that you're not in on. You need to get back to normal. You need to get caught up. Well, start here, with our wrap up of the week's best viral videos.

Right off the bat, you'll find yourself saying Awww, that's sooo cute, when you meet Rickina the baby orangutang. She was rescued from a suspected poacher. Now she's thriving at the Ketapang Orangutan Rescue Center in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Then you'll see me (considerably less exciting).

But then we fly right into the cockpit of a 737 to see how to start one up. The video, posted by golfcharlie232, shows the many, many, many steps it takes to get a Boeing 737 plane off the ground. It's a lot to remember. You'd think, by now, they'd have an app for that.

Of course, the only way to follow orangutangs and airplanes is with balloons. So, we take a look at Jeff Wright's Iron Man costume made up of 364 balloons. It takes him nearly 10 hours to complete (don't worry, it's a time-lapse video) and it is super cool. I need this guy at my next birthday party.

Then you'll see me again (again, considerably less exciting).

Next, we take a look at an awesome short film called "The Mustache," by Israeli director Michael Mevorach. I highly recommend watching the whole light-hearted adventure in its entirety. There aren't too many films featuring a Hitler character that will actually make you giggle (and yes, I said giggle).

Then you'll see me again (hey, somebody's gotta host the show).

And, finally, it's those awkward moments we can all relate to -- trying to push the "pull" door; that weird dance you do when walking toward someone and they move the same way you do, and then it happens again, and again. Plus, a whole bunch more, cuz life is by definition, awekward.

If those aren't enough to satisfy your hunger for all thing viral -- fine. We've got tons more for ya, right here on The Feed.
