Today will be spent on an airplane, traveling across our great nation back to New York City, where there are no crowds or lines or uncomfortable spaces ever. For one more day, Videogum remains rudely disjointed and shaken from its regular schedule. Let’s all just remain strong during this difficult and trying time. In the meanwhile: how about last night’s premiere of Mad Men? They’re back! All our old pals! As you can see from the above screencap, I watched the episode on a grainy, choppy Slingbox connection, the way this lush and beautiful show was MEANT to be seen. Turns out our hotel in San Diego had a beautiful view of the freeway, but no AMC, which was a pretty decent trade off until the last minute. But, you guys, Mad Men! The new office! Slap sex! Ham! Going forward, when the world has been re-righted on its axis, we will have more standardized coverage of this great show, but for today: Mad Men! Hi, Mad Men!
Also: since today the site will be (very, very) slow, how about we work together as a family to make it more interesting/exciting. For today: YOU BE THE BLOG. Post funny new YouTube links and the latest entertainment gossip/news in the comments. Then comment on THOSE comments. It will basically be the second and third layer of our Videogum dream, and hopefully someone will incept the idea into everyone’s minds that Comic-Con never even happened in the first place.
Get to work!

well that was the most ridiculous thing i have seen in some time…..thanks

Fake.
i know right?
What was with Roger’s comments about the one-legged reporter? Roger’s got a reallllllll problem with one legged people. Probably because a one legged man forced Roger to drive around California sleeping with random women and drinking scotch.
Roger was particularly ornery in this episode. “Maybe come Thanksgiving you can stuff her.” Jeesh, pump the brakes, Rodge.
Roger: “I love how they sit there like two choirboys. You know one of them is leaving New York with VD.”
Don: “What do you need?”
Roger: “Someone white to carve my turkey.”
We all know Rodger is a dirty old man. He better thank his lucky stars that he is a good-looking-dirty-old-man, b/c if he wasn’t…well, that would just be weird grossness with no good-lookingness.
I wonder if he and Jane are gonna make it through this season
waiting for the kick.
I’d like to remind everyone that this happened that one time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc_wjp262RY
You know, i’d never actually watched that until now. My eyes have been opened, I cannot deny that logic, I am now a scientologist.
Great, now I’m on THE list for clicking on that link. THEY’RE gonna be at my office soon to haul me away! Thanks a lot, Shellbomber!
I like to think of this as an antidote to that clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki7g__CDoaU
No, no–THIS is the antidote to the Tom Cruise clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9onb8RcVnmE
“I take ethics and apply them SO INTENSELY TO MYSELF”
I don’t know you, but I’m disappointed in you.
I’m disappointed in myself.
Thanks for the scary movie clip. I did not know that anything in those movies was that funny.
I’d just like to say, the NY Times has a profile on Snooki today: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/25/fashion/25Snooki.html?8dpc=&pagewanted=all. Happy Monday.
So psyched for Thursday, I’m gonna start tanning NOW!
I’m gonna have so much laundry ready
Gabe’s got the gym part covered
No doubt, dude is total juice head.
oh man, did anyone read that 6 page article on new orleans sissy bounce on sunday? shit was ridiculous. they only focused on a handful of rappers, and only the transgender ones, but still. in short, DANCE VIDEOS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP7hwe0MXk8&feature=related
I read it. Being in New Orleans, have you ever seen Christeene perform? She’s amazing. She’s from NO but moved to Austin after Katrina.
Wow, I like the artsy picture in her dad’s junkyard.
Thank goodness! I guess this means I can stop reading about all these leaked Afghanistan memos.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/world/war-logs.html
They posted this picture:
with this caption:
“Snooki at her dad’s home in Marlboro, N.Y.”
Hmmmmmmmmm.
Not pictured: Things that don’t fall under category of “trash.”
Nice work.
I’m glad the reporter couldn’t quite shake the feeling that Snooki was a worthless person and there was no reason to write an article about her.
R.I.P Peggy’s bangs. You will NOT be missed.
Peggy looked kinda …. hot.
Apparently Elizabeth Moss does not miss them either:

Why was this not on the front page of EVERY newspaper this morning?!
401k’s don’t last as long as they used to
especially when you choose to invest with TomatoBank.
what the fuck
Hopefully she spent her retirement wisely, like that time Daniel Day Lewis gave up acting to be an Italian cobbler.
I’ll wave as you fly over!!!!

I realized that Don Draper’s life story is pretty much this guy’s
Which makes me wonder who Ms. Crabapple is…
She’s pretty.
Simpsons did it!
=
Peggy isn’t going to take any shit this year, and I love her for it.
Also, with less characters I was really hoping for more Joan. Please don’t let me down, Mad Men.
Yes, I know. Very insightful thoughts. Thank you.
I thought that Don calling Peggy “honey” on the phone was a nice touch, but I think I’m just a sucker for well-drawn mentor/student relationships.
The Don/Peggy scenes are by far the best part of the show. The scene where she calls him on his BS: “[our image] is right where you left it” and then also reminds him of his influence “We all want to please you.” was brilliant.
Also, the hamscuffle was brilliant.
No nonsense hair ftw.
Peggy really won the Sickest Burn of the Episode Award with that one. Close runner-up: Don’s “You don’t say that to the clients do you?”
How about Don’s “Believe me, Henry, everybody thinks this is temporary.”
Enjoy.

Very interesting Inception theory about the Charlie St. Cloud Trailer:
It’s hilarious: “Sam escapes the mangled car, sans hat but relatively unscathed, only to find Charlie in a vegetative state. The tragedy of the accident is not Sam’s death, but Charlie’s deep coma — his own personal limbo, if you will. The doctors are unsure if he will ever wake up. Sam simply can’t believe this. What happened to the strong-willed Charlie? The one who yachted with him through thick and thin and was rewarded with a trophy, a photo in the newspaper and a scholarship to Stanford? The same Charlie who once pushed through mildly choppy seas would surely push through something as trifling as a coma, right?…
…(My detractors will claim that I’m inventing this entire off-screen scenario myself, but they should really watch the trailer a few more times because IT’S ALL RIGHT THERE IN THE OPEN, PEOPLE!)….
http://thosepeoplecomedy.wordpress.com/2010/07/25/dare-you-take-a-leap-of-faith/
Now that’s what I call Inception theory!
the Immaculate Inception
First of all, I think wertrew and I could do a good job at running this blog. My edgy humor combined with his diligent though flawed archival efforts would make us a great team I think. Just my two cents.
Secondly, anyone else notice that maybe the reason Gabe and this Max person friend of his objected to the comic con so much was because they are racists?

No, it’s because they’re jocks and they hate nerds. They eat nerds for breakfast. They hate books.
Off topic: Finally read that MIA interview in the Believer. Steve, what was your issue with it again?
Seth Bullock, to Sol Star: “What business of that is his?”
Al Swearengen, Grammar nazi: “You mean, what of business of mine is that.”
Bullock to Swearengen: “DON’T TELL ME WHAT I MEAN!”
Well, I think she raised some valid points of terrorism and government, even though she may have not be clear and is possibly naive. Terrorism doesn’t exist until a government decides that it want to label something as terrorist so that it can treat it differently, and even then, if the terrorists achieve their goals, they stop being terrorists, I mean, look at the American Revolution, or the Irish rebellions. They are idealized because they won, even though in their time they were considered terrorists. It was all a label, a perception. I mean, Irishmen starved themselves do death for no other reason than to change the title given to them by the government they were fighting against.
Steve, I’m glad we could have this thorough chat.
I’m not a history expert but did the american revolutionaries go to england and bomb random civilians and murder random women and kids who they selected as military targets? Just curious, friend, not trying to school you in snide anonymous commentator fashion, brohams
The answer is part no and part yes, and the no part actually helps my argument.
The Revolutionaries did indeed target non-military personnel, and they did destroy property. Destruction of property is actually much, much more likely to get you labeled a terrorist by governments than is destruction of life. So that’s the yes part.
The no part is that, sure they didn’t go to England and blow up lots of civilians. They didn’t even blow up lots of civilians here, but nonetheless, they were considered essentially terrorists, because the government labeled them so. That is always and ever where the designation terrorist comes from.
@part time smith vermont, do you think that maybe your opinions are influenced by your own racism? just curious
Quick clarification/addition. The American Revolutionaries mostly fought outside the rules of warfare at the time. They hid, they ambushed, they ran, they, and this is still extremely important today, did not always wear uniforms, they diguised themselves as civilians.
This was disgusting, immoral, terroristic. Some of it still is, now that the US government has people using it against them.
Aw, “Steve Winwood,” I thought we could have an actual chat about this.
PSYCH!!
Sorry friend, I don’t give a care.
Did I do that right? Gosh, I hope I did.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ8d9v60N38&feature=related
Youtube links to clips from Deadwood are [greater than symbol which I can't put here because of html shenanigans] scolding lectures from Noam Chomsky’s granddaughter part time smith vermont, master of political correct scorn
Yeah, wow, your version of political correctness makes no sense since I’m basically coming out in support of “terrorism”…
“I can use my expense account if I say they’re whores”–> best line of the night
Mad Men is rarely a laugh out loud show, but by Jove that did it
Hear, hear! I thought I was the only one who caught that.
Best line of the night? “Get the chicken kiev. The butter squirts everywhere.” Butter? I don’t ever know her!!!
Butseriously. Last night’s episode was fucking awesome, right? Don spilling all to that reporter at the end? Magic.
Spoiler Alert!
Aw, fuck me. Sorry about that.
“What’s the matter, they couldn’t send a whole reporter?”
My favorite line was “”Henry, believe me, everybody thinks this is temporary.”
I loved when Peter said to Don, “Creatively, Y&R’s not capable of living in this neighborhood. Why? You don’t work there.”
Ass-kissing TO THE MAX.
My favorite was when Peggy was defending the ham stunt and said, “Our image is where you left it.” OH SNAP DON DRAPER.
This is going to be the winner, right?

I dunno if it can be the plane scene in Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus
the only thing I’ve seen to rival it is the Shark-Repellent Batspray scene

Good thing 1966 Batman had a gadget for everything:
Man, I would really color-code each one differently. All dark blue canisters with orange letters is a sure-fire way to grab manta-ray repellent when actually a barracuda is attacking you.
The boy wonder didn’t take to that rope ladder too efficiently… I guess his days of flying trapeze artist are long behind him.

Here is what the Double Rainbow means, Double Rainbow guy:
It means god is trying exceptionally hard to keep his promise not to wipe out the world in a giant flood after Comic-con (Westboro madness included). I imagine Mad Men makes it a little bit easier to keep that promise.
2012 ya’ll!
What’s up with Topher Grace?
Nothing much. How are you?
I suddenly feel intense and crippling pressure to say clever things.
I am very intimidated by your inside jokes and motion GIFs and upvote rankings, and cannot think of anything to add to the conversation.
That said, here is a video of Cookie Monster eating in reverse.

aaaah! who let david lynch direct an episode of sesame street? how do i get out of the black lodge? WHERE’S ANNIE? WHERE’S ANNIE?
The new office! Slap sex! Ham! = GTL for the Mad Men set
Hope you make it back to New York, Gabe. You are basically the Wikileaks of Comic-Con and the world needs to hear your story.
I’m not going to post a link because, like Prince, I believe the internet is stupid and dying. Also, most of my links are about riding dinosaurs (NSFW).
I sadly can no longer construct funny youtube links because the image of my wife that my subconscious projects struggles with understanding which youtube comments are real and which are fake and gay. what?!
I finally saw Inceception last night. I found out that movies cost $10 now. What the hell. I’ll now spend the rest of my forseeable afternoon reading the comments in the Inception post. I knew I saved it for a reason!
me too! to everything you just said
Me three!
All done, now we can read Armond White’s review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPOILER: He hates it!
http://www.nypress.com/article-21420-despicable-inception.html
Me four! I also paid $10 at the theater near me and made a big deal because I thought it was cheap (compared to other theaters).
$10? That’s a deal! I pay $15 a ticket here in LA. $19 if I see something in 3D
i was late to the party as well.

this is my favorite interpretation of inception. but you must know, 2666 and inception are my favorite novels.
or rather…infinite jest?

aw, you are pemulis!
Did anyone else see Salt this weekend? I did. Angelina was oddly believable as a spy. Though, her “running” was a lot awkward. Thoughts?
She’s pretty.
Was the action good? Did you care about the story or any of the characters? I’m still considering seeing this. Nothing really good comes out until Expendables.
I think the last 10 minutes of last night’s Mad Men shows the direction that Don is going to go. Yelling at the swimsuit company honchos to get out of the office for being so conservative shows that, for the sake of creating a public image for SCDP, Don is going to embrace the edgy, ahead of it’s times approach to advertising. The last scene just showed that he was fully ready to embrace being some kind of “bad boy” of advertising.
Sally Draper is a ticking time-bomb, you guys! She gonna choke a bitch. I had to rewind my DVR a couple times because I swore that Betty and Henry said they locked Sally in the laundry room because it was too cold outside, but maybe they were talking about the dog?
Bobby, as always, was just happy to be there.
As the show faded to black my friend looked at me and said, “Sally Draper is still in therapy to this day.”
Who do y’all think she was calling when Betty caught her on the phone in the hall? I’m guessing not “daddy” as she claimed. Maybe Sally’s gots a steady?
Also, yes, Sally will cut you so good.
Whoever posted this the other day has my vote for President of Everything!
That skateboarding is worse than mine.
that running into a car is worse than mine
I’d Like to Take this opportunity to thank all the voter (lousybutler) that voted for me. As president of Everything, I am going to start with this clean energy thing and move on to the illuminati. Thank you!
http://videogum.com/203932/comic-con-2010-day-two/news/#comment-7629422
Focus less on being the fake president and more on those TPS reports.
Maybe it’s just me but I think Betty Draper is a devil woman
It’s not just you.
Does it seem to you guys, like it seems to me, that now that Betty has married a kindly father figure, she’s even more of a spoiled child?
MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE, BETTY!
What’s weird is that Henry Francis seems like a basically OK guy. I can’t help but wonder, HOW DOES HE NOT SEE THAT BETTY IS AWFUL???
Maybe she is just too hot for him to care.
“She is a silly woman.” – his Mom.
The whole time I was watching, I kept thinking, “Geez, Betty Draper is the worst.” She should go away.
I got so paranoid that Betty and Henry suffocated in the garage.
I don’t remember if Henry started the car, but Betty says to him “garage door,” or whatever. He ignores her and sexually advances. And that’s it. Next, Don and the kids come home and they’re nowhere. I thought it was the end of Betty and Henry for sure.
But then they walked in and Betty threw her little tantrum. and I too thought, “Geez, Betty Draper is the worst.”
They’re making it way too easy to hate Betty Draper/forgive Don’s philandering.
i totally agree with you. that said, she’s been treated like shit by don. why do i still love him? and want to slap him around?
yessss it’s the strangest thing! when i force myself to think about it objectively, Don Draper is not a good guy. and yet somehow i always find myself thinking of him as the hero of the show.
YES! Finally one of my tips gets posted! Granted it’s being posted by me. In the comments. But Gabe has given his implicit approval sort of. Enjoy monsters (note 100,000 of those views are probably mine):

I’m glad she mentions traveling in first class when she flies on a private plane. The economy section in private planes is often filled with disreputable types.
I loved it when Don told the Jentzen people to GTFO, I hope there would be more outs in future pitch meetings.
Get it? Pitch? Outs? Baseball? Okay, I’ll sit down now.
Is it cheating if I re-post something from Everything Is Terrible? Because this really needs to be seen by everyone.

Kids Incorporated rules. And now after simply thinking of the name, I can’t get the theme song out of my head. So lets get it stuck in all of yours too:
Kids Incorporated Theme Song
Plus bonus vintage Fergie
This is the worst(best)! I love that the song is called Heavy Metal Madness, but it’s just shitty 80′s synth pop.
On the original EIT post the headline was METAL AS FUCK, the best headline.
Kids Incorporated! That’s Fergie on the right, which explains a bit about the black eyed peas.
ah i see concert_addict has already covered this. I need to learn to refresh.
Where was Ryan Lambert in that? I had the biggest crush on Ryan Lambert. And whatever happened to Martika? I have so many questions (that I don’t care about enough about to google.)
Why has no one mentioned Don liking getting bitch-slapped to the face during sex with his prostitute?
WHY DOES DON DRAPER NEED A HOOKER? He’s Don fucking Draper! I don’t understand what the world is coming to.
Also, when Betty and her new husband got into the car in the garage, was anybody else hoping they would just turn it on and not open the garage door and kill themselves? Because I know I was.
Yes, I was concerned that the whole show had taken a dark turn when Don brought the kids back and there was no sign of Betty and Henry Francis. I was sure he would find their lifeless naked bodies in the car in the garage. But then they came home and everyone got into a fight and it was just like old times.
Yeah, I totally thought that would happen to when he came back to the empty house. I literally groaned when they came walking through the door, totally fine.
He’s not paying her for sex, he’s paying her to leave after sex. That’s the primary practical advantage of hookers. I heard.
Don Draper is excellent at picking up women for adulterous one night stands. I think he’s less good at dating now that he’s single, with it’s expectations of emotional involvement and telling the other person things about your life.
Also, he’s feeling self loathing over the divorce/the kids/whatever and needs to get it hooker slapped out of him. That’s what I got from that scene anyway.
You said EVERYTHING I was thinking. Don Draper does not need a hooker, he can get any woman in the world to have slap sex with him…Now, I am not usually into that kind of thing, but for Don Draper I would be into that kind of thing.
Also, I totes agree with your Betty and Henry sentiments.
i would slap the shit out of don draper.
WHEN THE HELL IS THE HUNT FOR THE WORST MOVIE COMING BACK?!?!??!?!?!?!?
It’s the button just above the shift key, and below tab. It says “caps lock,” hit it just once and you’ll be all set! If you’re on a Mac, I forget the exact set-up of the keyboard, but it is very, very similar in that area. I can look at my own Mac when I get home from the office.
I think they were holding shift because of the Exclamation and Question Marks, both inaccessible via caps lock, but in play when holding shift.
Nice work Sherlock Home-keys.

I found True Blood Panel Coverage
Highlights:
Kristen and Nelsan, what are your favorite lines?
Kristen likes the hooker line, Nelsan says there are so many, but he likes to say “bitch.”
Why does Alan love death so much?
Alan experienced death first hand and that there was a time where his family was dropping like flies. He’s trying to explore that as an artist. He doesn’t consider True Blood a show about death, even though more people die. He thinks Bon Temps is a fun place to visit.
Alan is asked when Tara is going to get a break from crazy:
There will be one at the end of this season, but it won’t last.
Sadly it appears no one voiced the opinion that Tara is the Worst so it looks like she’ll be back next season.
Community Panel:
http://www.nbc.com/Comic-Con/video/community-panel-comic-con-2010/1240488/

why was Community there? It’s a sitcom that has nothing to do with comics.
Abed dressed up as Batman that one time. And there SHOULD be a comic called ‘Starburns.’
Joel McHale and Chevy Chase are comical As well as _____ and _____, they make me laugh too.
what about TWILIGHT FANFIC?!?!?! not enough sparklygum

I think we need to discuss your declining performance ratings over the last six months.
THERE HAS BEEN NOT ENOUGH DISCUSSION OF THIS.
THIS IS THE BEST.
Aww, I was kind of looking forward to hear what Gabe had to say about True Blood last night, especially the part where Tara bit Franklin.
It’s the highlight of my Tuesday.
And True Blood was so fucked up last night, I was REALLY looking forward to his thoughts on it.
So, commentors, was everyone else as freaked out by Tara tearing chunks of bloody flesh out of Franklin as I was? Holy shit, that was disturbing!

Young Fred Willard! It’s held at the same mall where I saw ‘Inception,’ so I’m not totally convinced I’m not dreaming it up. I chose my totem VERY poorly (Cadbury egg, which I ate almost immediately).
It’s already been written up on Videogum (and ‘tipped’ by your truly)!
http://videogum.com/105631/bag_your_face/where-were-they-then/
Looks like you actually get to read fresh (albeit old) material today.
Good, then I’m def. not dreaming.
It was posted on Vulture today, you have bested them at the internet! And me. Bag MY face.
I just stumbled upon this, and thought it might make Gabe feel better to know that other people shared his Comic-Con trauma. Or maybe this will just give him flashbacks, which could be entertaining for the rest of us.

I am so glad that the Thanksgiving hooker slap is getting its cultural due. THERE IS NO SHAME, people.
Gabe and Max’s trip had more problems than a one-legged Ad Age reporter. “We thank you for your sacrifice.” -Pete Campbell
I genuinely love Pete. Mostly because every time the show convinces me to hate him, he does something so sad or pitiful that it undoes everything else. Yes, he has one night stands, and coerces German au pairs into sleeping with him, and yes, he is a horrible kiss-ass. But at heart, Pete is just a little boy, and it is fascinating.
But in response to your comment! That line was so hilariously cringe-worthy. Pete is the worst/best.
“We thank you for your sacrifice” — VG monsters to Gabe upon his return from Comic Con.
Also, Joshua Jackson is a genius? http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/49267386.html
Or just a really nice dude who gets the ‘pulse’ of the internet (although to clarify I’m not implying his intentions were anything but pure)(That sounded sarcastic… well, no-sarcasmo!).
I wish I had gone to pacey-con
The lines were shorter.

i’m sad that i can’t read any of this because there might be Mad Men spoilers. i’m midway through season three and will likely not be all caught up until next week. have fun in your cool open thread party, monsters.
All of you need to quit horsing around and get to work. REAL WORK, in THIS OFFICE, not imaginary work for your videofun office or whatever.
Your review is coming up. Keep on horsing around on the net. Cleaning up stalls will be your only viable career option.

It’s a nice turn of the tables though, the shit in their mouths instead of our ears.
that is a complicated shitstorm joke. also new dirty job: cleaning up pigeon crap while having to listen to kings of leon.
Quitting because a pigeon shit in your mouth is so rock’n'roll.

You’re waiting for a plane, a plane that will take you far away. You know where you hope this plane will take you, but you can’t be sure. But it doesn’t matter – because the monsters will be together.

Your plane will crash over Atlanta, you will survive the crash and you will be marooned in the Monsters Plantation ride at Six Flags.
Could be worse, my friend: could end up on that island from Lost.
Just as long as we don’t wind up on the Tales from the Okefenokee ride. ’cause that’s racist.

noooo the 3rd made me want to kill myself! I literally fell asleep watching it!
falling asleep makes you want to kill your self?
That’s how it works in Inception, right?
Sleep is the worst. That’s why I’ve developed a crippling addiction to amphetamines.

Did anyone else watch Rubicon?

does anybody else watch the incredibly milquetoast tbs very funny series “my boys”? its season premiere was up against mad men last night and im sure it held its own ratings wise. anyway, i dvred it because i like the gentle way it doesnt make my brain work to hard since nothing happens and the jokes arent funny. entertainment!
and last season had a shirt making contest! it’s like project runway for men!

My word!
What do we want?
TBS’ MY BOYS!
When do we want it?

That show is kinda like an Always Sunny for the easily offended, or something.
Weirdly, the best Mad Men comment of the day was on EW. Someone named Jim said: “I’ll bet Sally grows up to be my mother!” #forthewin
If I know EW.com, I’ll bet then someone wrote “Your an idiot, Sally is too young to be your mother” and then someone else wrote, “America saved your ass in WWII!!!!!!” and it generally devolved from there.
Close. It was: Your an idiot, Sally is too young to be YOU’RE mother.
Precisely. Followed by 6 pages of people trying to shout down a blatant troll with earnest, impassioned, yet entirely pointless reason.
GABE please do a true blood review!!
