For a short week, this was actually one of the “newsier” weeks in awhile, at least as far as OUR KIND of news is concerned. Obviously, our lives have been straight DOMINATED by one thing in particular. But double on top of that all the way, there was Lindsay Lohan’s space jail sentence, Rachel Bilson’s self-absorbed media circus visit to the gas station, the announcement of the 2010 Emmy Award nominees, “I’m Not Here To Make Friends” Day, Bruce Willis released his cologne line, and, of course, Jeremy Piven finally set the record lies about his lies, like a liar. And the week’s not even done yet! This weekend: Predators, and the World Cup final. So intense. What does it mean?!

[Ed. note: As you can see, there is no special placement for the winner of this week's Women of the Daily Show caption contest because Chareth Cutestory also had the top rated comment for the whole week (maybe of all time? 371 is so many!) and it is a funny comment, so let's give it the recognition it deserves. Congratulations, Chareth Cutestory. You earned it. Also, I had not seen Notsewfast's M. Night Shyamalan IMDB comment, but it is amazing, and I actually had to go look to see whether or not it was true (NO SPOILERS, TWIST ENDING!) and in either case it would have made a good Editor's Choice but instead will have to satisfy itself with fourth best comment of the week, because that is how ratings and science work. FACT.]

[Ed. note: You could have predicted this one. Just in general, people don't like to hear someone say that a thing they enjoy and that feels important and valuable to them is garbage, but it seems to me like Buffy fans are especially sensitive about this. Perhaps because they have to hear it so often? I'm not saying that as any kind of political endorsement of either position. I have no opinion. I've never seen the show, but I have friends who love it, and I've always been curious, I just don't have the time. Also I am 103 years old. But it seems like a show that is pretty open to accusations of being garbage, at the same time that it is a show that is fiercely beloved. So, what I'm saying is, you could have predicted this one.]

[Ed. note: Like a double rainbow itself, it is only a matter of time before the excitement over Double Rainbow Guy fades into nothingness. And perhaps that is how it should be. Just because a pleasure is ephemeral doesn't make it any less valuable. But what a pleasure he has been! Let's just be here in this moment with him, no rainbo.]

I, for one, am grateful that this robot put “fish” in quotation marks to signify that she was not actually planning to go on dates with fish. However, she is planning on searching for lovers in the sea.

Thanks for the 5th place guys, I appreciate it. I now present another chapter of Winwood Movie Classic, this one is a little more obscure: http://tinypic.com/?t=postupload
So obscure, they won’t even let me link it.
Brilliant.
what is that from?

Because all movies involving transpeople are exactly the same.
I’m so sick of saying this, but shut the fuck up, Steve Winwood.
Whoa, hold up there, “napoleon complex”, I didn’t say anything about transgendered people, I was talking about movies with crying in the title. Looks like you just projected your own prejudices. Like they always say, when you point one finger, you got your remaining fingers pointing back at your self
Now I’m imagining the Da Cake Eatur version of this:
“lol i ant relly a girl!!!”
I just choked on my own spit, that’s how hard I laughed at that image. And then I gasped for air for 5 minutes. Bravo.
Amazing.
Have fun at The Ball next week Chris!
Don’t make fun of Community
(Community is a lousy show)
Congrats, Chris Trash!
I liked how your comment became its own self-fulfilling prophecy!
I get the feeling that Paul Vasquez and Jeremy London both totally don’t do drugs together
i am on the way to my vgum egot…just kind of disheartening that this is where i am starting from….sorry to all you buffy fans. i’ve never seen the show. the band nerds loved that show in high school, and they hated me. (man i must have been a real prick in high school to be nerdier and more hated then the band nerds)
I am on Season 5 now and I can understand both the love and the hate. The show can be great. But as, as I said, Season 5. Woof.
Gabe, you should try Buffy. Like you, many of the characters are centuries old. You are like our very own Darla, just without the syph (presumably).
I was a devoted fan of the first couple seasons but felt betrayed by how sloppy they started season three. No spoilers, but basically season 2 ends with some pretty significant changes set in place, and it was interesting to wonder how the show would be different in the new season, but then when season three picks up, they swiftly (and rather badly) address the changes, remove/neutralize them in a sloppy fashion, and then as of the second or so episode of season three everything is back to “normal”. It was lame. And I know a lot of the episodes that people rave about came later, but I hated those episodes. The silent one, and the musical one, ugh. Hated those. Although I remember liking John Ritter’s one episode NO SPOILERS for the newbies, which I think came in a later season. Never liked the nonsense with them in college or how one character becomes a witch, etc.
i was too busy playing super metroid at that point in my life to watch buffy…super metroid is like drugs…the kind jeremy london lies about.
I hate it when scary black people make me play Super Metroid.
the john ritter episode was in season 2
As the Raoul Moat horribleness draws to a nasty end in Lorryland (seriously, this is why domestic crimes should be taken more seriously by the authorities), behold some examples of decency and unconditional love:
Double cute. All the way.
Look at how blissed-out he is!
*tries not to think about insane rolling news*
After defeating “Chris Trash” in a lightsaber battle, “Godsauce” condescends to him through his black helmet of hate: “Impressive … NOW RELEASE YOUR ANGER!” then he slices off his hand.
PSYCHE! Just kiddin’. They’re probably best friends for all I know.
Doubt I will go see the predator movie this weekend. Here’s why: I don’t particularly care for the CGI in most modern movies, or the shrill, callous story telling style if you can call that a style, the rapid edits that make me get all ADD and schizo. I enjoyed that MicMacs movie (sp? Mix Master Mike movie) that was by that one French dude who did those other French movies. Freedom movies. Saw that recently and thought it was fine. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the predators movie and have the best weekend you ever had.
i think you are just the nicest ever winwood!
YouTube fame certainly is fleeting. the double rainbows only arrive after a long chocolate rain….and those forecasts only happen once in a lifetime…
you may find yourself in a beautiful viral house, with a beautiful viral wife
How did I get here?
No seriously, who has been posting me to the Youtube?
same as it ever was.
when i see the top five comments for the week, i just want to upvote them again, but i can’t. so good.
!!!!!!
!!!!! Thanks, Kenny!
You are welcome. The upvotes do not reflect how great that pic is. It’s a turtle by the way and I think he is pretty cool too.
So often I wish I could upvote Gabe’s posts.
Well, happy friday…see you all at The Bronze?
For this, you win the Monsters’ Ball of my heart.
I’ll be up on the balcony with Spike!
Can we make Double Rainbow relevant forever? I don’t want everyone to forget about it next week. It’s the best thing to ever happen on the internet. We can’t make this another David after Dentist.
Great job everyone!
Aaaaaaaa get it off me get it off me!!!
i miss making funny comments on this website. sad face.
Well, Come Back,
Worship with us!
hook em.
Monsters, like Spiderman before me, it seems I most engage in a “clone war” of my own. As you can all see, I have changed my Videogum name from Long Live Mufasa to it’s present incarnation, Original Mufasa, due to the SUDDEN AND UNWARRANTED use of an extremely similar username from someone who shall remain nameless (it was that *JERK* Long Live Better Mufasa).
Like Peter Parker before me, I will endure the time spent sharing my prestigious mantle until, one day, I emerge victorious from the username battle I find myself faced with, VICTORIOUS. I might be TOTALLY drunk right now you guys, but I reiterate – THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE, AND THAT ONE, IS THE DRUNKEN IRISH BUFFOON *ORIGINAL MUFASA*!!!!
HUZZAH!!
also in the news, this was apparently the week buzzmedia told gabe that the monsters’ ball would be a perfect opprotunity to do a recap and beef up pageviews. so many links, great links, but so many!
UP UP AND AWAY!!!

Gabe, to be fair (what does that phrase MEAN????), the lowest-rated comment may have gotten there because it trotted out the age-old tired-ass trope of ‘if you like X, you definitely don’t get laid.’ As in: Bloggers live in their mothers’ basements and never get laid. Lame. I don’t need anyone to ratify my taste, but let’s not make it personal. Also, it is not 1984. Nerds get laid.
why you gotta bust my balls jeb? i always upvote you dammit! oh well, i was being a total knob about liking a tv show…
i’m just glad i got up there, and if it was the highlight of my week, i am sorry. (i am gonna get all the pussy now!)
The thing I’ve learned about Buffy is that if you’ve never seen it, you think it’s lame. If you’ve seen it, you think it’s one of the most brilliant television shows to have ever graced the small screen and you cry sometimes just thinking about the finale, and you still laugh at some one liner Xander spouted off, and you still think that “The Body” was one of the most gripping and true portrayals of a loved ones death that has ever been written. Word. I’m in the first category. Psyche.
It’s the computer age. Nerds are in.
I think I just saw that episode for the first time a couple nights back.
Yeah, that’s right, I’m watching Buffy! What of it!?
Well what would you watch once YOU finished The Wire???
How great is not having any new TV? We should petition the networks to just do terrible reality programming for a few years – give us all time to catch up.
(I’m spending the summer immersed in a childhood favorite – Star Trek: The Next Generation. I never realized Dr. Crusher and Captain Picard had a thing for each other!)
MMMmmmmmm, Willow. I could use a piece of some Willow action, friends.
and i miss da cake eatur so much… i want to see winwood and cake eatur interact in the vgum petri dish
we already did once, I posted a harmless joke about that stupid dog and then he got all upset or something
oh man…well i’m sorry i missed it. thought you two would be fast friends.
He is mistaking Da Cake Eutur for AnAmericanPatriot. According to VG monster scripture Dacake Eatur was banned long ago. http://werttrew.tumblr.com/ Is it weird that I know more about Steve Winwood than my IRL friends?
whoa goodness…i didn’t realize there was doctrine at this point…
Ha ha, what?!
WHEW what a week guys. can’t wait to kick back and spend a few relaxing days just poring over celebheights.com. did you know they have a feature in which you can find celebs THE SAME HEIGHT AS YOU? time to get my drank on!
Is Monster’s Ball the right place for this? Who knows; I’m doing it anyway. If you live in Austin and want to eat pizza, drink beer, and talk about Videogum, then you should totally come to this:

We tried to get Showbiz Pizza, but Steve Winwood locked the doors when he heard we wanted to do it there.
i’ll be there, so you know it’s legit!
i didn’t even know more than 150 video gummers existed.
