Spring has sprang you guys! Oh man, I do not know where you are right now (we really need a buddy system), but where I am it is so nice outside. Nice weather of course makes it increasingly difficult to pay attention to Lindsay Lohan’s shoe powder malfunctions and breaking news from behind the scenes of the Get Him to the Greek publicity junket planning committee (what day do Jonah and Russell talk to Access Hollywood?!), but we are all going to do our best. Let’s just enjoy this weekend out there in the sunshine and the temperate air, because Monday morning it will be back to work! GET INTO THE TRAMPOLINE MINES! (Is what the boss will be saying on Monday.) For now, sweet freedom.

We don’t have millions of dollars or Miley Cyrus’s phone number in our phones, but we have our integrity and our clear-eyed perspective on the world around us. And we have each other!

Ed. note: Oh, Steve Winwood. SHOOT THE MOON! How many weeks in a row have you gotten Lowest Rated? All? All of the weeks in a row? To be fair to you (sort of?) I don’t actually think this was your worst comment of the week. Not sure why this one came out on bottom. Nevertheless, Steve Winwood, I would like you to know that despite your chronic unpopularity and your tendency to aggressively seek out downvotes, I still appreciate your contribution to the Videogum community. I am the Robin Williams to your Good Will Hunting in that one scene where he cured him with a hug or whatever.

This Week’s Editor’s Choice
Ed. note: For this week’s Editor’s Choice, I am breaking all the rules (NO RULES!) and awarding the entire Nicholas Sparks Is a Jerk AND an Idiot thread. Some people got personal recognition above, but you guys all really outdid yourselves over there. Seriously, very fun stuff. My only concern is that now that thread is going to die in a “swimming accident” because I love it so much.

For the record, I am not advocating the physical fall of Nicholas Sparks.
He’ll be okay. I’ve heard he’s a strong swimmer.
I am.

I am doing SOMETHING that is PRETTY important (not that IMPORTANT BUT still), and I need AS MANY avatars FROM videogum as POSSIBLE. IF YOU haven’t AND CAN do so, PLEASE EMAIL THAT shit to ME AT AnAmPatriot@gmail.com AS SOON as possible. THANKS y’all!
THE IMAGE, I mean. THE IMAGE OF your avatar. NOT a SUPER TALL blue GUY.
are you finally making that silk screened vgum quilt you were talking about?
GRACE HOW the fuck AM I SUPPOSED to surprise LOREEN now? When SHE FIGURES OUT computers and GETS on here, she is GOING to find OUT!
I have no idea where I got this gif, all I know is that one day I found a Jesusbird chasing a flopping Darwin head and my life has never been the same since.
I always imagined it as a Jesus-dodo which makes it so much more met*HEAD ESPLODE*

I know it’s in one of the videos on this page. Happy hunting. I watched about 5 mins without finding it and it’s still too early where I live to feel like I’m peaking on mushrooms. Hope this helps with your important SOMETHING.

“Mom! Dad! Guess what! I just got into The Monsters’ Ball!” -Me. In five minutes.
YAY!!
Even ?uestlove – THE ?UESTLOVE – found the Nicholas Sparks posting hilarious!
And ?uestlove NEVER laughs at my jokes. In my dreams.
DAMMIT NOT AGAIN THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLY
But just to make it fit, Skinny Tie, I’m sure ?uestlove was referring to your comment!
He was, because it’s well known that ?uestlove hates Nickleback (probably).
But more importantly, I found out Nicky Sparks has a Twitter account. Can we make it a Videogum Everywhere-mission to bombard him with retweets or whatever and make sure he reads the Duh afficionado thread? I still don’t have the Twitter, because I live in the year 1992, but I know a lot of the Monsters are real good with the tweetsing.
Make it happen!
His Twitter account is @SparksNicholas, but I think you are really missing the point of Videogum Everywhere. Our mission is to leave people alone. They have other things to do!
Even if the other things they have to do is being the best at being the worst?
Ok, I get it, don’t twitterbomb Nyquil Sparks. In an ideal world, ?uestlove would tell Jimmy Fallon about the thread, who would tel Tina Fey, who would tell Bieber, who would tell Miley Cyrus, who will tell her buddy Nick Sparks. Upon reading the awesome and hilarious comments, he is so inspired by all of the excellence he will write the next Great American novel. Or go back to working at KFC, either one’s good.
Oh man, Jeb’s comments just keep getting better and better. Congrats, guy!
“Mom! Dad! Guess what! I just got into The Monsters’ Ball Editor’s Choice!’ -Me. RIGHT NOW.
Weird. As soon as I hit “Submit”, my dad called me at work. He never calls me at work (because I’m sort of supposed to be a grown-up now). IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS! (maybe he secretly reads vgum?)
“YOU GET EDITOR’S CHOICE AND YOU GET EDITORS CHOICE AND YOU GET EDITORS CHOICE!!!!!”

WHAAATTT!??? Worst Commentator THREE WEEKS IN A ROW! Give me a break, guys, come on. What do I have to do, the truffle shuffle? I’m going to start Steve Winwoodgum and make all of you the worst. Congratulations. Sleep tight.
Look on the bright side, you got the Editor’s Choice!
Someone needs to bring you a higher love.
Keep on Runnin’ Steve-O!
AT LEAST Steve WINWOOOD IS fucking AWESOME. THE guitar PLAYER. Not you.
I MEAN, you’re PROBABLY be pretty cool!
I really hate Steve Winwood’s voice. Like, if you really want to annoy me, play “Colored Rain” by Traffic in my vicinity.
Sorry, SteveWinwood/ Steve Winwood!
I like you.
WHAAATTT!??? Did you not feel the MOUNDS of Gabe love that came with your Worst Comment WIN? Just keep fucking that chicken Steve Winwood. Don’t let the red numbers keep you from being THE BEST. Can you pull Lowest voted Comment for another week?? I think you can.
You are slowly becoming one of my favorites.
I want to like you, Steve Winwood, but that little Six Flags story rubbed me the wrong way. I am not your fat, curly-haired fantasy prop!
ALSO, TO ANSWER your question, FROM EARLY this fuckin WEEK, YES I would downvote GABE IF he POSTED and said “Lost sucks.”
BECAUSE if he was GOING TO at least POST THAT it would be IN A FUNNY, nondickish WAY. IT’D be funny. IF HE posted “it suxors” then HE PROBABLY wouldn’t BE THE funny BLOG WRITING guy WE know.
HOLY FUCK GABE, I just FIGURED out your ALTERNA-LA Timeline!
For the record, Stevie (can I call you Stevie), I think most of your comments are GREAT.
This is my first comment.
I like you, Steve Winwood.
Now I will try to post a picture.
Success!
Steve Winwood is the greatest
Keep playing your mandolin.
I don’t want to get all sadgum in here or whatever, but I just want to let you guys know something:
I’ve had a really great week on here, I’ve gotten 145 upvotes from only 4 comments and that means a lot to me (more than it probably should!). I’ve been having a rough time lately because I literally don’t have any friends. I also just turned 21 and I’ve never even held hands with anyone before. So – I’ve been really lonely lately.
I just wanted to tell you guys that you all are the only friends that I have and you mean a lot to me! If I were anywhere close to New York I would totally go to the birthday party and awkwardly sit by myself in the corner!
Have a great weekend, everybody!
WOW.
This week, on a Very Special Monster’s Ball…
Mr Butlertron approves of this comment.
But in all seriousgum, I love this website, and if it were possible to live in the internet (Tron!) then I would live here, and my life would consist of witty sarcasm and lists made by werttrew. And all would be well.
But man cannot live on sarcasm and lists alone. Allow Marilyn Manson to correct your course.
(ahem)
The ancient pharaohs weren’t too bright they say
But they made one contribution that I live by to this day
It’s the food pyramid and it’s approved by the USDA
Oh, grains are the foundation
So please take my advice
Have 5 to 11 servings of bread, cereal or rice
3 to 5 of vegetables and 4 of fruits is best
Their anti-oxidants and fibers help you to digest
3 servings of yogurt, milk and cheese
Will help your bones and subsidize the cattle industries
A body needs to grow
And growing takes proteins
That’s why meat can be a tasty treat like fish or human beings
And when you eat your sweets
Make sure you try
To limit your servings
Or you’ll DIE!
Everybody!
My body is a pyramid that’s made of healthy food
So do what we say
(yeah!)
Eat right everyday
(boo!)
I love you!

Buck up, Tony! Things could be worse; you could be Steve Winwood.
This exchange becomes even more awesome when you realize that audrey’s avatar is frowning, while Steve Winwood’s is smiling. It’s like 10 thousand spoons when all I need is a knife!
This is a reply to Godsauce (sorry audrey, the reply button’s just not there for him): I am loving your Ironic comments! Reading them is like meeting the man of my dreams! (And then meeting his beautiful wife, because that sounds pleasant!)
We would all hold your hands in real life! Especially Skinny Tie; he is Canadian, it is in their constitution to be friendly.
Upvote hug!
Don’t worry Tony. I couldn’t give it away before I was 21 either.
Thanks for your kind words, everybody.
I actually joined two dating sites a month ago (I know) and I’ve been flat-out rejected by 15 people so far – that makes me feel super great about myself.
Don’t take it personally. Dating sites are full of Monsters, and not in the good way.
Have you actually heard what people talk about when they’re together? Friends are way more trouble than they’re worth.
My advice is to grow a beard, enjoy a few drinks now and then, and drive around in a jeep blasting “Gouge Away”.
(Things’ll get better. Keep reachin’ out.)
Are you describing the scene in LOST when Jack drives to the funeral home?
I was a lot like you once but then I grew a beard. When people complimented me about it, It gave me confidence in my appearance. It didn’t dramatically change the way I looked but the confidence gained from the compliments was priceless. Girls like confidence buddy.
sorry for making fun, I did upvote you.

You have Doolittle as an avatar!
Woops, I’m typing this on my iPod touch, and my fat thumb slipped and hit enter, that was SUPPOSED to say” You have Doolittle as an avatar! WHO WOULDN’T LIKE YOU!?”
You’ll find someone Tony. Until then, just drink heavily. You’ll be feeling up girls (or boys) on your futon in no time.
I know that I will find someone eventually. It’s just rough for me right now. I’ve been going through this for 10 years now (ever since I first starting having (unrequited) crushes on girls).
I have never actually had a sip of alcohol before, either. I’m not opposed to it or anything, I’ve just never had the opportunity.

You’re all class wowee zowee.
That album is awesome. You are not.
Wow, that is the same description as the protagonist in the new Nicholas Sparks “novel”. Do you have a father that is a local newspaper food critic who doesn’t approve of your videogum friends, too?
For real though, I enjoy your comments and would be delighted to hold your hand anytime (no homo).
Lots of late bloomers out there. As for not having friends, well, take a chance and talk to some people. You’re not the only shy person in the world! Chin up!
I’ll hold your hand, Tony!
Don’t let it get you down, Tony. People are terrible, anyway, you don’t anything to do with them. Alcohol is the only real friend you’ll ever ma — oh, wait, we’re being positive here, to cheer you up. Right. In spite of what teen television and Nicholas Sparks novellas are trying to tell you, not everyone makes their best friends or finds love in their teen years. There are many many more late bloomers out there than you’d think. Many of us who did not get any till our twenties! Those experiences do not become less valid if they happen late in life. And believe, there are A LOT of “weirdos” out there, people who were never able to make friends and feel like they’re all alone in the world. You’ll find your niche eventually! Not trying to be all self-help here, but really, it’s not that bad once you get into it.
Aww, fromage! What a great pep talk! I like you.
ilyku2, Complex.
don’t feel so bad. if i keep talking about the friends who live in my computer i won’t have a boyfriend anymore and then we can commiserate single life.
You’re a super hero! This is your theme!
I know what you mean. We all need some support and grouptherapygum sometimes. Over the last week, I got berated at work and dumped by my boyfriend. Then I got an invitation to his birthday party that I planned (dinner and drinks) by our mutual friend who decided to take over planning and doesn’t see why I’m trying to “make it awkward.” :/
PS We broke up last week. The party’s tonight. Still torn between skipping it and having everyone know I’m avoiding it, or going and looking my hottest and mingling with our mutual friends. Oh, it’s like I’m living in an episode of 90210.
i’m sorry to hear that. but original 90210 or new 90210? cause the original could be pretty awesome (dylan mckay! he’s so dreamy!) but new 90210 would definitely suck (eww! darcy from degrassi: tng).
Definitely original. I’d pick Dylan McKay even WITH his drinking problem! (anybody remember the episode where he wandered into the woods and cried as he drank from a minibar-sized bottle? The episode ended with him saving Brendan from dangling off a cliff)
Aw! This whole thread is great! (I too had a bad week with the whole friends thing and am appreciating all the warm fuzzies going on, thus reminding me that the world is not a cold barren place full of striken hipsters and two-faced yingyangs).
please let us know what happens. did you go? Did you not go?
I went. It was a little sad/uncomfortable at times, but our friends made sure to be supportive AND buy me free drinks.
Hey, you sound like me only I’m about to turn 25! But I’m not sad. I make up my own friends and write 500 page novels about them.
You posted my favorite comment of the week so thank YOU!
And don’t worry. I didn’t even hold hands with anybody until I was Gabe’s age! AND THAT’S NOT UNTIL 62 YEARS FROM NOW!
Really? Thanks so much!
I really hope that I hold hands with somebody in the next 62 years. I don’t know, though.
latebloomersgum over here. it doesnt really matter, in the end. you will meet somebody and she will be like crazy slutty at handholding and that will be that. no guarantees on the timeline though.
Tony,
I forgot to bring a book or magazine, so I was thinking about what you told us here when I was on the bus this past evening. And I just wanted to let you know: The ability to be totally, desperately alone without completely losing your shit is a very rare and very useful skill. While you wait for that fabulously witty group of friends or that insanely beautiful woman to enter your life (and they will, I assure you), keep that in mind.
Also, post more comments. You’re funny.
With any luck, you’ll meet someone at a carnival and even though her parents disapprove of your lack of money and move her away, and she gets engaged to a soldier, you will build a house or something?
watch out if she starts coughing on your third date though.
There are other meetups As well – Chicago being the one that springs to mind first…
And there are also Fan Page(s), for you to join and be involved in, if that kind of thing interests you.
We’d love to have you in the Gay For Gabe Group – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=105547626135055
Also, Good luck with all that other stuff. Discover again all of the reasons there are to love yourself (I am sure there are many, seeing as how you’ve been busting guts and getting upvotes for a bit now) and others will see it and reflect it. It takes time. Also – go outside and get some sunshine if it’s available! It’s important. At least ten minutes.
Love is like homework. You have to study hard if you want to get an A.
This is true! And, as a wise man (Bill Murray in Charlie’s Angels) once said, “The heart is a muscle. In body building, we exercise the muscle, and it grows bigger and stronger. It’s the same with the heart … these little hurts will heal. And at crunch time, your hearts will be so
buff, you’ll be able to clean and jerk his love, three sets, ten reps each.”
(Sorry I don’t have a better pep talk, all of my life advice comes from cheesy late-90′s movies)
I’m tardy to the party on this one, but I just wanted to add: As a nerd-lady, I have hung out with some late bloomers in my time. We’re all in our late 20s and early 30s now, and to a one, the people I know who were misfitsin high school or college are now happy people with many friends.
This includes a friend who was once rejected from eHarmony (as in, they gave him his money back because they didn’t think he would be compatible with anyone on their service) and is now married. It also includes my boyfriend of nearly five years, who I met when he was 28 and who is pretty much the most fantastic human being alive (Topher Grace excepted, of course).
So I guess I would say that if you focus on becoming the most awesome person you can be (and that means, of course, what you think is awesome, not what everyone else does), you will find other people who think you’re awesome as well. Eventually, that will include someone who wants to hold your hand.
I’m about to brave Good Friday traffic and hit the road, but before that I just wanted to get all lovey-dovey and hopey-changey and say that the Nicholas Sparks thread was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever been party to in basically my whole computing life. I’ve probably read the whole thread start to finish like 5 times. Everyone here is seriously awesome (at writing jokes on the internet; I’m not going to pretend I know if you’re awesome or not in real life). So thanks and have a good weekend!
On the East Coast we call it Passover traffic.

I’d downvote me if I could.
Friend, I’ll downvote you enough for the both of us. Btw that is a great-lookin’ beard.
Face King, I cannot help but have a big ole v-gum crush on you because I imagine you’re really Bill Murray (and also because you’re a lovely Monster!).
I’m sorry that the lowest rated comment was a response to one of my comments. I want to let you be great, Steve Winwood, instead of bringing out your inner Nicholas Sparks. Please accept this valentine, friend:
P.S. No homo.
I dont know which is worse: the fact that you named your daughter 69 or the fact that you think you can cut out a heart off of a computer screen
I know that is supposed to be a clever visual for “B-Hole,” but all it does it make me feel me think of bee stings in the you-know-what. Painful!
I was trying to figure out what beeshot was a euphemism for. *facepalm*
No, I-don’t-know-what. It’s supposed to be a bee going into the entrance of her beehive, which is full of honey, which is a good comparison to Steve Winwood because he’s so sweet. I thought that was obvious but I’ll try harder next time.
wrap your stinger if you dont want to get stung! safe sex, dudes!
I don’t get it.
My best comment this week was made on Wednesday, but I don’t think many people saw it because of the whole “awaiting moderation” thing. Here it is in all of its glory:

Thanks for re-posting that Godsauce, that was a lot of work and you did a fine job, friend
Thank you, sir! I was conflicted about linking to my own comment, but I didn’t want the effort to go to waste.
I did miss it the first time so I am happy you posted it too. It made me LOL for reals.
I don’t know. Finding out we all got Editor’s Choice is like finding out we all got trophies in Little League Tee-Ball. It’s just not the same.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go release some Kraken this weekend.
Is that a euphemism for pooping?
according to Aziz it is
You’ll WISH it was a euphemism for pooping once you find out what it’s really a euphemism for.
If I had a nickel for every time I wished something was a euphemism for pooping…
I’m glad this week is over, it’s never fun when dad (Gabe) has to go out on a business trip (that part sounds right) and misses our ball games (WMOAT and WUWTG) and we have to play by ourselves (look up cats with funny hats on youtube) to occupy our time
At least he brought us home some good presents (LOST Recap).
I was going to post on the Lost thread that I had already sent out evites for my Lost watching Scottish themed party next week (DESSSSSSSSSSSSMOND, amiright), and how culturally sensitive is was going to be, and then I was gonna post a picture of Groundskeeper Willie, but then posting was delayed, and then I almost died, so that was kinda ruined. As they carried me off to the hospital all I could think of was “please, just let me comment on Videogum’s Lost post of the week before I go, please!”, but my coworkers wouldn’t listen.
so are you okay?
Yes! All is well.
A message to adrianeq — I hope shellbomber’s comment doesn’t dissuade you from becoming a regular Monster. While I admittedly had a nice office-laugh from the Yale jab, it’s all in good fun. Come back, won’t you?
For real adrianeq. I felt guilty about the joke as soon as I made it. I once mentioned where I went to college in a vgum comment. Of course, that was a relevant detail when I was bragging about winning several hundred dollars on a basic cable game show. Oops did I find some way to bring that up again? Anyway, the point is, adrianeq, don’t backhandedly brag unless you want to be called on it.

is everybody pronouncing gif with a soft g?? i have been saying it like “gift.” this is a revelation!
i say gif cuz jpeg would get mad if i didn’t.
The first time I ever heard someone say it aloud, he said “jif.” I was scandalized!
Hey, quick Q everyone: Do you guys actually like, find each other on facebook? or, like, look at everyone’s websites on people’s profiles? I’m just a curious bee….
I restrict my Monster creeping to Twitter.
I may or may not have looked you up on Facebook before writing this.
Check me out, I’m cute!
You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Yeah I am definitely the Jan in this situation.
Oh my GOD. IS YOUR AVATAR BRIAN PEPPERS?!?! I love you.
Yep. Brian Peppers’ face on my friends cat. I used it as evidence to prove that her cat looks like Brian Peppers.
Let’s just enjoy this weekend out there in the sunshine and the temperate air, because Monday morning it will be back to work!
haha. not for me because it is spring break and i am going to mexico! except that it will not be anything like what you think when the words “spring break” and “mexico” are put together in a sentence. my parents will be there, there will not be any foam involved, and we’ll (hopefully) be the only honkies for miles.
Drink a paloma! It’s tequila and grapefruit soda with lime and salt! Delicious!
ooh. that sounds nice. i love me some toronja flavored soda. my first beverage will be a michelada though. they make ‘em great where i’m going (colima), lime, hot sauce, worcestershire, magi, salt and beer (my fave is indio).
Oaxaca is the best!!!! Not for any particular reason except that my gorgeous brilliant friend grew up there.
MEXICO!!!!!!!
Yeah everyone loves a michelada, michelada cubano, to which I say BARF. Oooh you know what: MESCAL COCKTAILS. I had them in DF they were so good I could have died happy, which is more than I can say now and I’m equally drunk!
I saw a Nicholas Sparks profile in American Way magazine yesterday comparing him to Shakespeare, so he’s just getting his ideas of himself reinforced. I informed the flight attendant of the problem and she apologized and let me sit next to King Pilot and gave me a solid gold frequent flier card.
by which you mean told you to shut up and asked you to enjoy your pretzels and Post Grad right?
Every week that I am not given a spot in the Monsters’ Ball is another week Topher Grace’s buttz-suxxing goes unfettered. THIS CANNOT STAND!
fake
Upvoted for using the work “unfettered” in the same sentence as “buttz-suxxing”.
Downvote for not going for “untrammeled”
It may go unfettered, but it will never go un-feted. Here’s to Topher Grace’s buttz-suxxing!!
You are my favorite.
And, of course, the “tophergracesuxbuttz” meme remains popular in syndication
happy weekend, monsters! i hope your weather is as lovely as mine is.
Hey, guys. We are chatting at:
http://videogum.com/chat/
If you want to join us. AnAmPatriot is telling us how much he likes Franz Ferdinand.
FRANZ Ferdinand IS FUCKIN dreadful. I DID not like THE songs I HEARD BY them on THE RADIO, y’all. THE 80′S sucked ASS. WHY IN fucks NAME WOULD we want to GO BACK?
I thought everyone might like this picture of me relaxing on my couch.
Have a great weekend, Monsters!
This deserves so much more than my one upvote. Congrats to you and to the fine gentleman in the photo.
I agree, but the image is so wide, the upvote symbol has gone from the page. Damn non-widescreen laptop!
So consider this an imaginary upvote West, I like your Monster Style!
My dreams will be forever haunted by this apparition.

Confession Time – When I first got here, Coach Taylor-I mean GABE – was using Al Joker as his avatar. But I thought it was a riff on Old Gregg.
True Story.
(PS – There’s a monster named Coach Taylor now? And he uses Gabe’s Avatar Basically? Potential Confusion abounds on the day those two converse with each other on the boards…)
Hi guys, coach taylor monster is me. I was informed on Chat that Gabe had the same picture, and I was like WHAT, what about Al Joker? Anyway, that was by no means intentional and I am a different (better) coach, now.
Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s like, “This guy gets it.”
I am not surprised by the group win. The comments on VG are consistently GREAT. Really. Sure, I can watch foxes on trampolines all day long, but I come back for the witty and thoughtful (really) comments. Great job.
Until next week.

In college I co-wrote a story (for FUN! In our FREE TIME!) that featured various faculty members including a real-life math professor of mine who couldn’t pronounce his “r”s (because if Bawbwa Wawa has taught us anything it is speech impediments are HILAWIOUS!) and then, by a strange series of events, he and some other professors were turned into animals (they could still talk). There was Lissssa who was a snake and one of my art teachers was a horse that would flare her nostrils and toss her mane and a duck that couldn’t actually do anything but quack…but no one could figure out what the math professor was because they had never heard of a Rombat.
Bad-dum ching.
(Awesome job. Good story. I guess you had to be there.)
What a cute baby monster!
more animals!!!
I just looked over at my television and I was watching NBC on mute and Jay Leno was high-fiving his audience. ughhhhhh
So I went to go see Hot Tub Time Machine this week and I was the only person in the theater. I could tell that the staff probably wanted to kill me which made the darkness just that much scarier.
Anyways, the “tell your kids to shut the hell up” warning came on and it was the picture of the kid that announces monsters ball! It made me happy and for one second I forgot the fact that I was seeing HTTM at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Wednesday by myself.
Man can I just say I love you guys.
