It would be bad news bears to start 2011 with a straight up LIE so let’s be honest with each other like adults do: some of us did not pay attention to the Internet over the break. I’m not going to start a witch hunt by pointing fingers and naming names because that would be rude, but let’s just say that it definitely could have been any of us who was not paying attention and it’s literally impossible to tell exactly who it was who did not pay attention for even one second to the Internet for the whole time we were all on break. In any case, what is done is done, and there is no turning back now. That being said, some of us did pay attention to the Internet over break, probably, I’m sure, and there is no telling what kind of wonders those people encountered. Well, wait, no, hopefully there is absolutely telling what kind of wonders those people encountered, that’s kind of the whole point of this post is the telling and sharing of those wonders. What did we all miss equally? Let us all know! All of us equally as we each and every one of us bear full responsibility for whoever the jerk(s) was/were who did not pay attention to the Internet, like, not even just a sneaky little glance at an RSS feed or a quick scan of TheDailyWhat or anything over break whatsoever just acting as if the Internet didn’t even exist basically which is a pretty aggressive position to take in this day and age but some people swear by it under the belief that it’s important whenever possible to take a full-stop “break” and decompress from the constant intake and processing of so much information and media and animal farts and trampoline dance-offs, and who are we to judge those people, even if we have no idea who they are, as they could quite easily be any of us.
Share your favorite over-break Internet things in the comments! Yay! It’s like Christmas all over again! (Christmas was over-long, full of unwanted obligations and needling demands, and ultimately kind of a disappointment, right? LOL JK CHRISTMASTIME 4EVER!)

If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.

P.S. Do you think my cart n’ woman act could open for Racist Marmaduke?
Also youtube is so confused by her, the related videos are about chemistry, Obama, or full-length Bollywood movies.
Maybe I just discovered the secret to attracting European men.
Susanti78, I can’t tell if that last “it’s” is a typo or a way of getting through the spam blockers. Please let me know because it is distracting me from this wonderful love story about your friend Vanessa and her CEO in love and life, Ronald.
Is this the “european man lure” dance?
It’s the European Land Mule Dance.
The internet is so 2010…who even cares?
“They have the internet on computers now?” (first obligatory Simpsons jpeg of the year!)
If Homer has trouble these guys can help.
Can we all resolve to NOT break the internet this year?
I will make no such promises.
I would just like to say that I started watching Tim and Eric, and the only possible description I have for it is this:
…There are just no words.
Over the break that is.
Cool story, bro.
i started watching breaking bad. it IS a good show! however, i have a really active gag reflex and i hope bryan cranston gets over this cancer thing already and stops hacking up mucus every five seconds.
I started a twitter account for my dog.
Not the newest video, but definitely my favorite that I saw over the break.

How ’bout that goat + Usher?

I took the last 4 days off, and nothing happened before that as far as I’m concerned. If Videogum isn’t reporting it, i’m not believing it.
But are you Beliebing it?
My favorite internet thing from over break: I won some cool records on Ebay! Thank you Christmas Money!
I’m going to use my Christmas money to get my medical marijuana card (don’t tell my grandma).
I’m using my christmas money to buy Bridoplasty Season One on Blueray.
What records?
It was me. Sorry guys. I wasn’t up to much on the internet, and for that I make no apologies.
I forgive you, but only because I share your love for tea.
I’m not here forgiveness, LBT. I’m here to heal.
Did you get a haircut?
teach, guess what I got.
I did get terribly addicted to Super Meat Boy though. (This may be NSFW?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzNKe_nQ1As
So weird, my friend was just showing me this game on his X-Box on Christmas Eve. It’s like, incredibly bizarre, but addicting as hell.
???
I’m with DSN. This is the first time I’ve been on a computer since December 26th which is sort of a new record for me. I made up for my lack of access to a keyboard and computer monitor by being pretty much completely shit-faced for the entirety of last week.
I regret nothing.
(I regret some things.)
I added Birdie to Wikipedia’s article on Shiba Inus, but somebody deleted the “Notable Shiba Inus” section.
Oh, Birdie. For one brief, shining moment, you were considered fact by the Wiki gods. Sorry, Pup. I tried.
Birdie is now samizdat.
Did you get a haircut??
I was tired of the old me.
Mans, Lear weeping over the body of Cordelia is my favorite painting! My *favorite*.
Oh man, just as I was starting to be able to identify people by their icons people CHANGE THEM. how dare you.
UPDATE: With the help of the lovely Patrick M., I have discovered that Birdie was removed because “Twitter is not a reliable reference.” I have now reinstated the Notable Shiba Inus section and referenced the New York Post article, among others. We’ll see how long it stays up.
Over the break, my company internet got cracked down upon and now I’m reading/commenting on Videogum on my phone. I’m like a prison inmate with 3oz of Blog hidden in my rectum.
Blog Hidden in Rectum?
Damn near Killed em!
Psst. Notsewfast. If you need to deliver that blog to someone on the outside. I know a guy:
Oh My God, Too much internet to go over in the past few weeks, just check my twitter feed.
Omit references to boobs, penis, poop, accordingly. Unless that is what you seek.

I saw this really funny video of a goat on a jet ski with a baby and the jet ski flips over a wave and the baby flies off and lands on a trampoline where a cat is sleeping and the cat wakes up and pulls down all of these Christmas lights which sets and old man’s pants on fire, but doesn’t notice and keeps dancing this really sexy dance to the new Kesha song while these three Juggalos, who are eating baby carrots, watch, but I can’t find it now.
But was it a fainting goat?
I feel like carrots are way too healthy for a Juggalo to eat.
The Juggalos were probably drinking baby carrot flavored Faygo.
I think I spent the whole two weeks watching this gif
I am stuck in an existential dread that if I look away from the gif for even one second it will stop being the most adorable thing ever
I’m happy to see the cat I hired to remix my last album has finally gotten to work. I already paid him like $40.
You know he’s just going to mash it up with “Creep” and call it a 90′s megamix.
I think he’s probably more of a Modest Mouse fan
Naw, he LOVES Deadmaus.
I bet that cat has a fondness for Deadmau5
Rats! My b.
Also, yesterday I got my grades back from last semester and discovered that my final project – a mini magnum opus several months in the making – received a C-.
Crestfallen, I began to wish that a terrible evil would befall my alma mater. “Ryerson University can go f**k itself!” I shouted to the heavens.
Today, Ryerson University is enveloped in a six-alarm blaze.
Whoops.
Nothing like finding out you are Carrie.
Do NOT accept any homecoming awards
My first reaction to your comment was “Hey! Toronto! Yay!” My second reaction was “Fire?”
And then I googled Ryerson University fire to be in the know.
T-Dot Monsters represent!
Wooo!
Hallo hallo!
I heard about that! Scary stuff. I’m very much not in that part of town, though.
Also, your power to control the universe terrifies me. If I ever need my building demolished for some reason I’ll be sure to let you know.
My first thought when I heard about the fire was: “OMG, IS SALAD KING OKAY?”
But then I realized it was a heritage building and felt like a dick.
But Salad King ISN’T okay and that is awfully depressing.
I watched viral videos you’ve probably never heard of.
I watched them before they went viral and sold out
I watched them while they were happening but then someone filmed it and it was no longer funny.
I watched them on vinyl. (You heard me.)
So many LOLs. Beautiful.
I spent the break regressing into my college years watching nonstop Buffy episodes and having Spike fantasies.
My New Year’s resolution is more Videogum, nonstop Gabe fantasies.
Gabe/Spike crossover slash.
i keep coming across buffy on LOGO and i’m like, should i? should i really go through all of the seasons again? it’s such a large commitment.
Yes, you should. If you’re capable of looking past the shitty effects and obvious body doubles, it’s more than worth it.
I tried to change my avatar, but am not sure if it worked. So I quit and made a sandwich. #MLIT
More like your life is Carmen Sandiego.
Oh, hey! It did change. Hi new avatar!
It looks like everyone got new clothes for Christmas.
A new year, a new semi-judgmental woman wearing glasses. That’s just how I roll (vision impairedly)
I changed my avatar too.
#subtlegum
Same here, but i’m undecided.
I like this one, LBT. Maybe better than the last one!
Thanks!
Wait a minute. Hat, red hair, eye-wear, love of tea……we’re avatar twins!
*gasp* It’s true! That makes me excited for some reason!

This video combined my favorite things, ethnic people dancing and long white breads.
My favorite video from the break – Chris Rock telling “Oprah’s so rich” jokes at the Kennedy Center Honors:
http://gtcha.me/flh1Jp
I got involved with the Monster blog (http://mobfd.blogspot.com/) and loved it. It’s funny, informative, and the perfect addendum to VG.
Same here! I also started to CHAT with all y’all monsters, and it has been great
hi taters! glad we’re e-friends!
hi katy! m-E too!
(runner-up: totall-E)
I, for one, spent an almost ungodly number of hours in chat over the break and I regret not a single moment of it.

I discovered (okay, it’s over a month old but I hadn’t seen it) that Brazilian drug lords LOVE Bieber.
“Can you paint me a picture of Justin Bieber where he has Bruce Campbell’s chin and hands that look like those squids* from the water level of Super Mario Bros?” — Brazilian Drug Lord
*I know they are called Bloopers, but the Drug Lord in this situation doesn’t, so back off.
Man, everyone is so into Elizabeth Peyton these days.

I don’t think this is intentionally bad, or really that funny, but it was on the internet.

Are you kidding? Someone named “Shardinay” is NOT funny??

Hugh Jackman’s urine filled bladder explodes after being hit with a cricket ball!
True story: the day before my entire family came over for Christmas dinner, my father got pneumonia and it came onto me to do all the prep work and cook on the day itself. Thankfully, watching every single season of Top Chef really does help and everything went fine. Plus, I spent the entire day in the kitchen, so I didn’t have to have those awkawrd conversations with my family memebers. So when I finally had I break from cooking to talk to all my nephews and nieces, who are really smart and nice people, they had a conversation about how much everyone loved “Two and a Half Men” and “Big Bang Theory”.
My point is, I really missed you guys!
I got sauced with a few Monsters, IN REAL LIFE.
There are no videos of that to share.
(Please let there be no videos of that.)
Hanging out with Monsters IRL was the best way to start the New Year. Thanks for that, cake.

They are the best.

I watched all of Community because I got it for Christmas. TWICE. (Seriously, my family must know that I really love Community.)
Also I started this: http://hotdudesinscarves.tumblr.com/
Aw, man. It totally removed my awesome SHAMELESSPLUG tags around that link. Silly internet!
It’s scientifically proven that scarves increase a man’s hotness by 45%.
I just discovered Community and I basically did this! I can’t believe such an amazing show exists! All of my friends and family are sick of hearing about it, but you don’t choose when you fall in love. Community is coming to dinner, mom.
For your consideration: Donald Glover was in some of the latest Gap ads wearing a scarf…
http://ajhan.tumblr.com/post/2324665584/donald-glover-is-cute-as-troy-in-community-but
He’s pretty. And it intersects so well with your Community love!
AHHHHHH YES
I told with my parents about Videogum and how I go to events and such. They are worried you all are predators, especially you Gabe and the NYC monsters I saw at Laffsgiving. I told them you all were not, right? RIGHT?

WelcomeBackGum.
If you didn’t see it, the New York Mets produced what is perhaps the absolute worst promotional video of all time.
We at The Commercials (http://www.thecommercials.tv) decided to have some fun with it.
