Oh man, you guys, so last Friday was the first day in a really long time that I spent barely any time on the Internet. I checked my email once or twice, but that was IT. Did you know that there is a whole world of people out there who are not worried about who is or is not on IM and who has or has not seen the latest video of two Harvard students doing a fake rap about Lost, or whatever? It’s so weird! Anyway, the point is I had a very nice and relaxing few days of STAYCATION (thanks to the secretary who invented that word), but now I am back, and we, or at least I, have some catching up to do. After the jump, I’m cleaning out my closet, like how Eminem does but with less hatred towards my mom (Hi, mom! I love you, mom!). These are just some things that you probably saw on other websites already because you were not outside, JUST ENJOYING LIFE (barf, but also seriously):
So, Saturday’s episode of Saturday Night Live was kind of the worst. Ryan Phillipe and Ke$ha? It’s like TV lost a bet. That being said, there were two sketches that were actually great, and both of them are pretty much tailor-made for fans of this website in particular, and so even though there will be no full Saturday Night Live post this week, we can still enjoy their Shake Weight parody:
And their “parody” (although how can you parody a parody) of the Insane Clown Posse’s “Miracles” video:
Isn’t a volcano just an angry hill?
Meanwhile, guess who is back (and while you are at it, guess who is so mad):
The great thing about the new CopperCap video is that he wrote a YouTube description of what his video is about, and it’s basically a whole other video. Bonus Rant!
Before you read what i have to say know that i was gone for 3 weeks for spring break and i WAS having a good time, i made a video about it as soon as i got back from vacation which i was going to post today, until one of my only TRUE friends showed me south park’s NEW episode and he showed me that SOUTH PARK WAS MAKING FUN OF US
AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I.. will post the video i recorded after i got back from spring break later on today or tommorow..I WAS in a good mood, but not now.. This is fucking ridiculous.. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD IM SICK OF THE VIOLENCE AND HATRED BEING SPEWED TORWARDS MY RACE!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I WILL NOT HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU MUST STOP THIS PLEASE SOUTH PARK
I’M BEGGING YOU DON’T MAKE FUN OF GINGERS AGAIN!!!!
IT WILL RECREATE ALL OF THE PAIN WE’VE SUFFERED
AND MORE HATRED TORWARDS US AGAIN!!!THIS IS A DIRECT ATTACK TORWARDS THE REDHEAD COMMUNITY AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT I HAVE HAD TO SAY BUT YOU DO NOT LISTEN!!!!
OPEN UP YOUR DAMN EARS SOUTH PARK!!!! YOU’RE THE CAUSE OF KIDS IN SCHOOLS BEING BULLIED AND PICKED ON
ALL ACCROSS THE WORLD!!!! I MEAN NO HARM ALL I’M TRYING TO DO IS PUT A STOP TO THIS VIOLENCE
THAT YOU STUPID ASSES HAVE CREATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU HAVE MADE US THE EVIL ONES AGAIN !! WE ARE NOT EVIL!!!!!!
YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!South Park is Destroying the morals of the Youth and Poisoning the minds of our generation with hate..and I for one am not going to stand by and watch my people become stereotyped again.
South park,
you disgust me.
I know that this rant basically lays out CopperCab’s entire political philosophy, but I didn’t pay attention to almost any of it, because I was too distracted by the question of WHO GETS THREE WEEKS OF SPRING BREAK? That is too much spring break.
Meanwhile, The Onion, in a rare movie, issued a straight-forward serious news report with no jokes in it:
And David After Dentist’s Dad cleaned out HIS closet and posted this rare outtake that absolutely no one needs because it’s 2010 and the world moves forward not sideways, David Before Dentist:
Uh oh! Mousepad sales must be falling off.
And finally, down at the bottom, underneath the laundry, is the slightly NSFW trailer for Big Tits Zombie 3D:
Oh, and Nicolas Cage bought this PYRAMID TOMB to bury his ridiculous body in.
R.I.P. Nicolas Cage.
Now, let’s move forward.

Saturday night, I fell asleep on the couch and when I woke up Ke$ha was happening on my tv and it was like opening my eyes and stepping into a nightmare. THE WORST.
Ke$ha doesn’t perform, Ke$ha happens
The problem with Ke$ha is that she’s absolutely serious.
was blissfully unaware of what a kesha really was until now. dammit snl and videogum in kahoots.
and no….i will not spell it will a $. talentless beyond the talentless.
I just watched SNL on demand, and they did not include either Kesha performance(not typical!). I was treated to her costume during the goodnight at the end, and wow.
oh, thank god. i was hoping for a ke$ha related post.
idolator is having a poll as to whether ke$ha is “pop or poop”
“pop” was winning, but i refreshed and voted 20 times this morning.

When Videogum goes on break, it’s like a curbstomp to my enthusiasm
If I was at school I would make fun of Copper Cab’s hair… but not because it’s ginger.
Gabe, can you confirm that your time off this past weekend was so you could prepare for your dual roles as Ass Dan’s (RIP, again) son and the baby bear from “Hip Hop Kids” on SNL?
The only thing shocking about that last tidbit is that Nic Cage has only just now purchased a pyramid tomb.
He was totally waiting for the market price to go down with the economic downturn. Egyptian pyramid tombs were formerly at a premium, you’d want to ACTUALLY have been a Pharaoh or something to afford one! Ridiculous!
This was my reaction to the entire Phillipe/Ke$ha experience (in this clip the role of my is played by Ryan Phillipe and the role of SNL as hosted by Phillipe is played by the large placard).
…And then I saw the miracles video and the world was right again.
I thought it didn’t get more insane than when Cage *actually* called his son Kal-El, but apparently I was wrong. Way wrong. AN EGYPTIAN TOMB?!
I’m kind of over Copper Cab. or should i say Copper CRAB lol amirite?
You can brachyura ass you’re right.
#scientificclassificationjokeftw
SNL was certainly not the worst. True, I did fear that going in, but I thought it was one of the better episodes of the season. Not only were those two sketches cramazing (especially the entire Hatchet Happenings spoof was insanely great for us insiders), Bill Hader’s Richard Bransen was great, the Mort Mort sketch was mostly very good stuff and who can forget Father Swimcoach-scoutmaster? They truely made a huge LOLk deposit with their ROFLigations.
Oh, and Nic Cage is still crazy. That is all.
just to balance you out, the Breakfast at Tiffany’s sketch almost made me withdraw my entire LOLk
True, but it can’t all be gold. That sketch was very meh, same goes for the teen therapist and “I Got it” was a joke that fell flat. Plus, what the hell was up with Ryan Phillipe’s voice. On the other hand, the opening monogue was great, especially the ending and the ESPN skit was good. THose, together with the previously mentioned made it an awesome episode that gave us numerous new catchphrases (are kids really small, or just far away?). I was just enjoying taking it all in. Speaking of taking it all in: the Today Sponge!
Plus, I love the fact they stuffed Jason Sudeikis’ shirt with a pillow to make him look more like DJ Fillin. What perfectionists!
I agree with you….these days, even two home run sketches are enough to carry an entire episode. And of course, one man’s LOL is another man’s BARF. R.I.P. DJ SUPER SOAK
I thought the teen therapist sketch was pretty funny just because I kept imagining that old guy was Gabe. It was a good episode that felt like it was tailor made for Videogum monsters, but Ke$ha herself actually had the funniest line of the night.
“I’m Richard Bransen, HOORAY!” I also loved Wiig as Bjork, too.
I thought the opening monologue was good too, although I agree with Anchor Management that Phillipe’s voice sounded odd. The weird thing was that 2 seconds before it started I told my husband how much I wanted to see Sudeikis in the red track suit, and BOOM there he was! I HAVE A SUPERHERO MIND.
Yeah, SNL this weekend was far from the worst (but then again Gabe, you loved the Zach Galifianakis episode in spite of that fact that it was far from great, so…). There was a lot of repeated stuff, but I literally laughed out for every sketch (except maybe the opening. why have they all been so weak this season?).
You are forgetting about the best sketch. The weekly digital short where Andy Samberg wore a ridiculous blond wig. His character thought it was sexy, but it was really just creepy. He was saying all these weird stuff that made no sense but was hilarious in its own way, like ; “Does anyone stop to think, maybe we are the aliens?” and I think he was parodying Uffie’s rapping style, but without the good beats behind it.
I see what you did there. Well done, plus an upvote for mentioning Uffie!
I would have missed the joke but for you, so you get my upvote!
Copper Cab is actually becoming a character from South Park. His worst nightmare is our hilarious reality. Finkel is Einhorn, dogs and cats living together, etc.
SNL really missed the opportunity to have Ke$ha play a Laser Cat Harp. Seriously.
That would have been genius.
David after Denitst’s dad is a fucking asshole.
Why doesn’t it surprise me that he looks like a grown-up version of ginger kid?
Not gonna lie, I would probably buy three tickets to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Falling Down a Marble Staircase. The staircase would be the villain you love to hate! I smell an Oscar!
Why did Ke$ha start with an acapella section? Is she trying to get fired? (From Hollywood?)
Both her performances really depressed me. She was awful, and she knew it. The saddest was at the end when she was like ‘It’s Saturday night. Do you wanna make out?’ and it was met with silence. Go away, Ke$ha! Stop assaulting my ears and my serotonin levels!
My favorite part of Saturday’s episode was Ke$ha’s space-helmeted “dancers” in the first song. Their moves were side-splittingly funny to me.
Did anybody else see Ke$ha’s dancing spaceman and immediately think of the Great Dancing Pumpkinhead?
They reminded me of the scenes in the Simpsons where they go to a sporting event or something and there’s some cheesy music/dance extravaganza going on in the background. If you kind of made your vision blurry they even looked like they were drawn and not live figures. I too was cracking up. Both of her performances were rivetingly bad, in a way that made me think more than I ever want to again where that particular performer is concerned.
Also, I am probably the only person old enough to remember this but she was very Liquid Sky with the day-glo makeup for the second song.
Its her Lady Gaga playing piano bit.
I thought she was going more for Bjork, if Bjork was a garbage monster
I know that the ESPN Classic bit may be wearing thin on some, but I’m still a sucker for unkempt vagina puns.
lol the shake weight. shes gonna run a marathon but shes gotta help a guy out.
The woman in the pink tank top is TOTALLY in on it!
Except the Miracles video, the funniest thing that happened on SNL was Ke$ha crawling aound on the stage in leftover zinka sunblock and asking the crowd “It’s Saturday night . . . wanna make out?” only to be answered with SILENCE and eventually one lonely “woooo.”
Nobody wants to make out with a glowing feather zombie Ke$ha!
Whoops, Jinxgum! Except I mostly thought it was depressing.
If you would have given my 8 year old cousin a box of junk from Michaels craft store and some glow in the dark neon paint I guarantee you that she would have come up with a more entertaining performance than both of Kesha’s performances. (My cousin doesn’t even have “IT”, she got cast as orphan boy 3 in North Star Kids production of Oliver)
Isn’t Nicolas Cage fucking poor now?
That’s what he wants you to think. If Nicholas Cage’s movie trailers have taught me anything, it’s that he is probably secretly stashing all his money in that pyramid.
Well, if he wasn’t, he certainly is after PURCHASING A 9-FOOT TALL DEATH-PYRAMID.
His whole life is the answer to the question “How can you be in 50 movies a year and still run out of money?”
Unrelated: The fact that you’re named after my favorite double-ear flapped second baseman brings me great joy.
That 16 hour B.O. Blocker commercial on the Onion video was INSANE! Coppercab has to be somewhat self-aware. The whole South Park episode was about the Gingers battling the celebrities for control over Mohammad, so that they would be safe from ridicule.* So either it is a joke or South Park went completely over Coppercab’s head. I guess we will never know…Some things are better left a mystery…..The question is what is important, not the answer…. its about the journey not the destination.
*I saw the South Park episode.
Is it wrong that I’m upvoting every comment because I missed doing it so much?
Beware OCD…. obsessive compulsive downvoting.
Speaking of SNL, I walked by Chris Parnell this morning on my way to work, but I decided to let him be, because it was 9:30 in the morning, and I’m sure he didn’t feel like having someone be like: I loved you in Lazy Sunday! Classic! I actually pretty sure he never wants to hear that at any time of day. Chris Parnell, if you are reading this, you will never be stopped on the street by me. but I loved you in Lazy Sunday! Classic!
Videogum everywhere, at it again.
So I don’t know about all that stuff, but I spent my weekend finishing season two of The Wire(spoiler free, hopefully), and I just need to say first, did Josh Whedon write this season? And second, ouch. My heart.
So this Todd Bieber guy on the onion video has to be related to justin right? He needs to take some notes on how to be on the internet, or even grow out his hair. Those bieber locks have to run in the family! Of course, It’s not entirely a bad thing to be the black sheep of the bieber corporation.
1) the best part of the whole thing was when Phillipe (sp?) announced Kesha for the second time and the camera caught him pretty much rolling his eyes.
2) does SNL need each one of us to individually submit his/her address so they can mail our royalty checks or is Gabe going to sort that out for us?
I don’t even know what Google Buzz is, but I was so excited Videogum’s back, I posted (buzzed it?) it on there anyways.
If you liked OCS,
Yes, but is there any book explaining how magnets work?
Yeah, but i’s by some scientist. He spent most of the middle chapters lying, getting myself and my ninjas all pissed.
It’s not letting me click to get a preview.
Internet, how does it work?

And this is your face:
thank you for that one, That One.
I think he was a terrible actor, but I feel kind of bad now that Nicholas Cage is dead, and Superman is safe.
I don’t know that what you did technically qualifies for a “stay-cation”. Do you commute to the Videogum office? Because if you don’t, you just basically slept at work for 4 days.
When reached for comment on Ke$ha’s SNL performance, A Train Wreck said, “Even I had to turn away.”
In Britain they call Ke$has, “Ke£has.”
That means she’s worth twice as much there *frowny face
Twice of zero is still zero! *happy face
Also, “Is this real life?™” has officially killed saying “Is this real life?”
When I confirmed my age to watch the Big Tits Zombies 3D Trailer (which I will instead call by its apparent actual title, Strippers5 vs. Zombies), I noticed I could enter 2010 as a birth year. Nobody born in 2010 can manipulate computer buttons! 2009, maybe if they’re a prodigy, but 2010, no way!
