This week, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming fourth season of Arrested Development, which will premiere on Netflix on May 26.

Kevin Spacey parodied House of Cards at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and the folks at CollegeHumor parodied Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign. Check out those clips and more in our weekly roundup of the best online videos:
