Is there a doctor in the blog? Because you guys KILLED IT on these Valentine’s Day cards! What a bunch of Josephs Gordon Levitt you are! (That is a reference to (500) Days of Summer that is funnier and more clever than all of (500) Days of Summer.) Honestly, anyone who does not feel love welling up in their heart just looking at these is an actual forest monster, and definitely your boyfriend/girlfriend. Probably the most amazing part about this collection is how little overlap there is. I would not have been surprised if every single card was a Jersey Shore joke, but these really cover the entire range of in-jokes (and human emotion). There is something for everyone! Admittedly, I don’t get all of them. I’m sorry, Bingo Gas Station, but I remain entirely baffled by your Stone Temple Pilots card. In the words of Mike White in Chuck and Buck, “What TV shows do you watch?” But I’ve included almost all the entries here, even if I did not necessarily understand them, because that is what LOVE is all about. The few cards that did not make it came from people who made more than two cards (thank you, but relax), or people who did not use the Official Videogum Valentine’s Day card template. Also, there were two amazing animated GIF cards, which go all buggy in our photo gallery, so I have placed those after the jump. Unfortunately, science has not yet made it possible to send these cards to people electronically. The technology isn’t there! But please print them out and give them to your loved ones. And then explain to them what it even means.
Seriously, this collection would be proud on any RiteAid clearance rack. Lots of Love 4 real. XOXOX.
Happy Valentine’s Day, from Becca!
Happy Valentine’s Day, from Matt Versus!

No Ginger Kid?? Aww.
Thank you! I could not believe how great all of these were. Everybody DRUMLINED. I actually just sent somebody the Pardon Me valentine.
I don’t need to read through all of these to know that Matt Versus pretty much schooled us.
Also, if i had a quarter for every time somebody misspelled my name as “Elliott” then Gabe would owe me a goddamn quarter.
I don’t know about that.
Pumpkinhead says: lots of love all around.
Just to prove to my loved ones that my life really has been wholly consumed by Videogum, I will be giving them these Vgum Vday cards.
There’s a different one for everyone! AnAmPat’s for my Republican friends, Bingo Gas Station’s for my grunge friends, and the “I want to bash you in the vagina with my heart” for my frenemies! And of course “I Upvote You” for all my monster friends!
Amazing! Kahdooz, everybody.
That was fun and I love this.
Aww monsters. You can be my other potatoes any day.
Hm, mine didn’t make the cut. Either Gabe does not heart me or he thinks my card is racist (it’s not racist! I have a picture of R. Kelly in my wallet!)
What are you crying about? It’s right here!

Pay attention!
I know! I was just about to post that I found it! Now my tears are tears of joy.
(OK, but mine didn’t make the cut, and I think it’s because Gabe thinks your card is racist)
Yeah, seeing that Matt Versus one before looking through the gallery meant I was all awesomed out by about card 3…. JUST KIDDING!! They were all awesome!
Nice work, monsters. If’n I had read the rules, I wouldn’t have wasted time on this gem…

cockles of my heart = WARMED.
(haha wow fun this makes sense! there’s too much love in here!)
we are so adorable for a bunch of internet creeps.
i actually thought to myself “if someone ever gave me super!’s squirrel valentine i would probably marry him.”
boooo, i made two awesome ones and they are not there
: (
well okay they were actually kinda crappy but still
I am seriously feeling all giggly in my Pink Floyd Shorts.
The only way I can even BEGIN to approach this feeling is Infinite Busey on a woman’s body Puppet
And even that is a stretch.
I love you guys no matter what.
I think it says something about the monster bond that I upvoted this even though I will have nightmears for the rest of my life.
I’m giving that gif to my endocrine system for V Day
@ An American Patriot, I was kinda hoping that my secret admirer would be female but you did such an awesome job on yours that it doesn’t matter. I recognize the hat that you used for the dog too and you couldn’t have picked better. Awesome job everyone!
I wanted to make a Topher Grace Valentine, but just couldn’t make it funny enough to suit my VERY high standards. So I gave up.
Now I know that was because the universe decided that Anna should make the Topher Grace Valentine, and it was perfect. I am your Not-At-All-Secret-Admirer, Anna!
aw shucks! though the real glory goes all to Topher for being everyone’s Perfect Man forever and always, I express my thanks in another valetines that did not make the cut (sorry, Gabe, I didn’t know 2 was the limit! I’m relaxed!):
I loved both of Anna’s, and Erin’s. Way to go, monsters!
Yes, good job Monsters! These valentines will go straight into the homemade envelope of my heart! <3
These are all wonderful and creative, and I’d be proud to receive any single one in my desk with a lollipop taped to it.
i should have sent in a card from astronaut mike dexter.
All of those were absolutely precious, based off the novel ‘Push’ by sapphire (it’s required that I must say that every time, right?).
Clever monsters! Bee mine, all of you. I so wanted to participate in this. Quitting my job to be a full-time monster is seeming more and more like a reasonable and super logical thing to do.
Agreed! My work doesn’t allow any streaming content so by the time I see them it’s on to the next thing.
And at home my husband is jealous of videogum, he thinks I love it a little too much.
These are great! Great job, guys!
Loved all of them, but especially Erin, Jamie, Rachael, and Anna’s. All females?
There is a charming range of photoshop abilities in these cards. Nice work, monsters!
That is so much nicer than saying “some of you suck at Photoshop.” I’m afraid mine is one of the more “charming” efforts. In my defense, I was at work, so I had to use MS Paint.
Also: I suck at Photoshop.
I was playing hooky today, so I didn’t have time to defend my online honor (?). I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of. We’ll live forever. Knowing together that we. Did it all for the glory of love. Wait. sorry about that. I have Peter Ceteratitis. Anyway, I had a some reasons I why I made this card.
1) I thought of Max’s “Save Jericho” iPhone laser stencil comment (which is my favorite comment on this site). I wanted to channel the “no one cares about this cause it’s no longer topical. at all.” and the randomness that was that comment. I mean seriously. No one cares about STP, except:
2) I wanted a valentines to give to the Haight St kids that live on my block.
You guys fight for best comment or editors pick each week, but Gabe basically called me a weirdo. So, I’ll always have that!
Happy V-day Monsters! Womp. Womp.
Tony’s almost made me teary. But yay all monsters!
lets fuck.
Man, the Werthers on Erin’s kill me. Well done, all!
Wow!! lovely greeting cards!! I liked the card in red.
