You guys, this Sunday is the single most important day of the year, and anyone who is not celebrating with an awkward date at a restaurant with an overpriced mildly comical prix-fixe menu is a loser and should feel really bad about themselves! If you go into work on Monday and you didn’t have a date on Sunday, don’t you dare touch the leftover Valentine’s Day candy that the secretary put in a bowl at the edge of the reception desk. Those treats are for LOVERS ONLY! Just kidding. What a stupid holiday Valentine’s Day is! Although, the only thing worse than people who get too into Valentine’s Day are the people who complain too much about Valentine’s Day. Like that whole cottage industry of anti-Valentine’s Day gift books and sardonic candies? Ugh. Let’s all remember that we are adults and that we do not need to get upset about things that we recognize as silly. Hating Valentine’s Day is the biggest waste of energy I have ever heard of, and I have been recapping the first season of thirtysomething! In 2010! Besides, remember when you were a little girl, how Valentine’s Day was kind of the best? You would put a homemade giant envelope on the side of your desk or the back of your chair and everyone would put cards in it and you would feel so pretty and some of the cards had candy in them? That was nice. Let’s be more like that little girl! Let us make our own line of Valentine’s Day cards! Here is one I made:

It is for that special someone you are sleeping with behind your wife’s back! You know, ROMANCE! Download your blank card here and send your final designs to gabe@videogum.com. IMPORTANT NOTE: do NOT post your cards in the comments, although you can use the comments to workshop your ideas if you are getting stuck. I will collect all of them and put them together into a gallery on Friday and then you can choose your favorite and send it to your special sweetheart/mom.

  1. The Valentine is forbidden? This is both the meanest and most appropriate joke ever!

  2. I didn’t make this, so I’ll go ahead and post this here:

    • Oh and ff-topic!
      Monsters, I?ve updated the Videogum In-joke compendium yet again. New additions:
      NnnnnnNNNNNnnnNNNNN
      Why won’t you let ___ be great?
      AB__. Always be ____.
      We have to go back to the _____!
      Keep f**king that chicken.
      Self-potato
      So hard right now.
      Where?s _____ at, String?

      Team ____.

      Okay, now back on topic!

      • Thanks werttrew. I am relatively new here and I was confused because I thought that Gabe was actually 49 years old. I thought, how can someone slightly younger than my parents have such a great sense of humor? And, why does he look much younger than 49 in the Gabe and Max videos?

  3. i actually spent a significant amount of time this weekend making valentines for all my friends. i’m lame. but crafty. and i own a lot of glitter.

  4. I?m very lazy, so would somebody else make a Ginger Kid valentine? With maybe some of his quotes like:
    ?Thanks to all my supporters, thank you. I appreciate it.?
    ?Ginger and proud of it!?
    ?Don?t freakin? be like that, okay??
    ?You?re turning me into bulls**t. Making me out to be some sort of JOKE. I?M NOT. I?m not a joke.?
    ?I don?t care what y?all think about me!?
    ?I?m trying to make a difference, okay, if I can. If I can get my word out there and not look like a complete idiot. IF THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE. IF YOU LET ME. But you?re not.?
    ?I?M NOT LETTING YOU GET ONE OVER ON ME.?
    ?Stop trying to turn me into a joke because it?s not going to work. It?s not going to work. EVER. EVER!!!! It?s not. No, I?m not-no-I?m not going to let that happen. I?m not going to. ?

  5. Topher Grace should get a lot of anonymous sympathy cards:
    “Doesn’t matter that your movie sucked, you’re still my Valentine. xxxx”

  6. Lady, you make me Gaga.

    (ready for the fury of downvotes that will inevitably follow this awful awful awful comment)

  7. I predict that there will be about 50 entries that say Champion Of My Heart on them.

    PS – If I have a secret admirer out there please make me a card with the basset hound wearing sneakers on it. Thank you.

  8. WHAT IS a newly divorced GUY SUPPOSED to do ON VALENTINE’S day?

    So far, my LIST CONSISTS OF drink AND CRY. Probably IN THAT order.

    • I’m remarried now, but when I got divorced, it was January, so by the time Valentines Day rolled around, I was ready to wash my face, down a bottle of wine before 7:00 pm, and go to a restaurant with friends, where I shamelessly and heavy-handedly hit on a nineteen year-old boy. And then I got dragged out. Happy Valentines Day!

  9. That last one looked too big for my screen… lets try again:

  10. Ooo! I’ve been doing this for the last few years or so! I can’t wait:

    Here’s a few from the vaults!

    2009 (Watchmen Valentines)::

    2008 (30 Rock Valentines):

    2007 (Kids in the Hall Valentines):

    2006 (Strangers With Candy Valentines):

    This year I’m going with Lost as my theme.

    Happy Valentimes ya’ll!

  11. I liked this a lot.

  12. Do we need to use the pre-made heart template? or can we design our own from scratch? Can we only submit one? Is there a limit? What size should the file be? Are there Questions I’m forgeting?
     
    I have such a huge craft boner right now guys! I almost makes me forget the many problems with my own failing relationship!

  13. Does anybody else here want Gabe to be their Valentine? I know it can’t just be me….

  14. I think we’re all forgetting the entirely more important holiday that occurs on Feb. 14: NBA All-Stars Game! Heart-shaped pizzas and beer in wine glasses…romance at its best.

  15. I used to send my friends old-fashioned Valentines from Corbis:

    with a caption like: I love you more than that dog is creepy
    (and that dog is fucking creepy)
     
    And my avatards on facespace and such would change to be in the holiday spirit.
     
    I call this one Noseblood Valentine:

     
    and from 2007(?):

     
    of course the one year i handmade valentines they said things like:
    nice tits *heart!*
    you’re small *heart!*
    no one cares about your vegan lifestyle *heart!*
    i don’t want to sex you either *heart!*
    It became a running gag for my friends to say blunt true-ish things and then say “heart!”
     
    Maybe that’s why I don’t have friends anymore.
     
    <3
