Between Sarah Palin and Gwyneth Paltrow it has been a real week for the jerks. But guess what: MONDAY-FRIDAY, jerks. HANDS OFF THE WEEKEND. This is our weekend, down here. Down here it’s our weekend. Up there it’s jerk time. (Goonies reference. 2011.) Enjoy it, guys. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, there is this. If you’re not in the Los Angeles area, work it out. You’ll do great! See you Monday.

“If I were married to Ted Haggard and he cheated on me with a male prostitute and took crystal meth, I would get mad at him, but I would never dump him. I would just make him stop with the gay sex and drugs and open a new church.” – womankind |

| didn’t watch this yet, cause I’m done with this guy
if I’ve learned anything from Jon Stewart it is – DON’T get 100,000 people together for a low-volume off-point comedy show about how we should get along with republicans, 2 days before republicans take 100 seats in the house i’ll watch this douchebag again when enough people tell me he grew some balls |

Monsters = Don
This Week = Bobby
I want Don to do that to me. WHAT?! I DO!
I smell another “I’d Hit That”
This comment matches your avatar perfectly.
Almost done with work and then it’s Beer o’clock and a three day weekend. Just got to figure out how to get out of here.
It would be a lot simpler if you weren’t such a stickler for paperwork.
(Sam Lowry GIFs are the best GIFs, btw).
Gabe, I know you have been looking for Frieda Pinto’s phone number for quite a while because you need to ask her something real quick.
Well, guess what?! I may be the person who can get it for you. SPOILER ALERT: It’s on a post-it staring me in the face.
You want this number, don’t you, Gabe?
Well, I want Editor’s Choice! Seems as though we both need something in this equation. I think you know what you need to do now.
I’ll see you the same time next week…
How did I forget to mention that I NEED Editor’s Choice for my EGOT?!
“Hey, Gabe. I have Frida Pinto’s number. It’s written right here on this rag. It’s small print, so you have to lean in…. What? No. I don’t smell anything.”
DTFF?
NOT THIS WEEK, E-TWIN!
Dance Gifs!
OH COME ON!!!
Hey! That’s me!
Best. Dancing. Gif. Ever.
Congratulations to everyone, but more congrats to FLW on continuing his Dimaggioesque Monster’s Ball streak.
Since he is a cyborg, I will congratulate him in a language he understands:

ALL BOW DOWN TO OUR NEW FRANK LLOYD OVERLORD.
Malformed binary. Your binary code is must be divisible by 8.
Whoops. I meant. Yay! Thank you, huma– Lawblog.
FLW has now tied with Notsewfast for the longest streak of continuous appearances on the Top Five, with six!
Many props to FLW. Many props. A Carrottop level of props to my good man FLW.
Hey monsters! Time for my monthly reminder on ways to connect with and learn about the Videogum community.

Check out this comprehensive list of Videogum links posted by Chris Trash: http://mobfd.blogspot.com/2011/01/monster-roundup.html
On there we have links for: the monster Twitter list (free for any to join!), the chatroom, the Inside Jokes list, the Monster Tumblrs/Blogs list, the Complete Monsters Ball stats list, the Worst Movie of All Time list, meet-up information and more.
There is also info on all the Monster Meetups. Including:
LA Monster Meetup

Thirsty Crow Bar
2339 w Sunset blvd
Los Angeles, CA
You coming, C_A?
of course!!
OH SHIT! YES. yesssss. yes. yes.
Oh man, guys. What if I actually come? Who would I bring?
And now that I’ve said this, if I show up you’ll all know how nervous I am.
What!? How many of these LA Monster Meetups have I missed?
[sadmoments]
this is the first one!
here. me, not mad.

Wow, that was cool. The sense of fun was contagious. Also, I LOVE THAT SONG! Probably my favourite album of the last five years.
thanks Krakatoa!
Backwaxer, your diversity impresses me.
Everyone else, it’s Friday! Huckabeast just got paid!
haha, thanks Cookie Monster and Taylor Swift!
Taylor Swift should forget about acting and only make gifs, amirite?
I don’t know if you guys saw this, guessing you did since it was on all the geocities’, but our good friend Bobby Bottleservice is now twittering, the perfect intro to your weekend
http://twitter.com/#!/akaBobbyB
Apparently the LA link does not work for everyone, so here’s info on it too. Stay awesome monsters.
would it be too sad/creepy if i never comment on vgum (just upvote..!) but come to the monster meet up anyway?
Not creepy at all, just don’t ask before you smell our hair.
I meant to write “ask before”, the point is this: just come and have fun.
My coworker is a chatty kathy. She has been talking to the side of my head nonstop for about an hour now. I have not reacted in any way, not even glanced her way, and she has not slowed down. I am ready for the weekend.
Maybe I will attend the LA thing!
Gabe, I finally made the move to Grand Rapids. If you need me to shovel your grandma’s sidewalk or something, just say the word!
“Shovel your grandma’s sidewalk or something.”
….
….
EWWWWWWWWWWWW. GROOOOOOSSSSSSSS.
Welcome to the neighborhood, facetaco

Backwaxer, you got robbed. There were much worse comments this week.
haha, thanks
YOU guys mad!!!
alright though. note to self: don’t try to make a meme out of calling J Stew a Dbag on Vgum.
got it!
Wouldn’t it be the other people who got robbed?
I AM IN THE BALLLLLLL FIRST TIME.
PARTAYYYYY
congrats
I see you’ve been writing prescriptions for the good stuff, well done.
GO JESKA!!!! woot woot
It’s not enough that there are so many articles devoted to her, but now she’s broken into the Monster’s Ball (at #1, no less).
You guys, I’m worried about our Videogum.
Beware the Paltrowcalypse
Commenting on blogs, I do it, you do it, even Stella McCartney does it. I’ll share how I post. First I have Willem whip me up a batch of soycakes so I have something to munch on. Next I load up my diamond studded Macbook, and go on my favorite site Goop, and then my second favorite site, Videogum.
I think we’re just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that, Videogum.
Tenenbaums in the ‘Gum!
If you guys could stop mentioning the 3 day weekend, that would be cool. It’s bad enough knowing I work for a racist company without having to also acknowledge that it’s costing me a day of not working for that company.
Guess what! My boss (who owns the company) is taking the day off but forcing everyone else to work! Yay! I guess every day is boss’s day.
Hey, you guys! Guess what?! Today is Baby Friday’s birthday! Happy birthday, Baby Friday! I hope it’s a good one!
YAY! Happy birthday Baby Friday!
baby friday, i hope that you have a good birthday and don’t have an identity crisis because astrologists now think you’re a Sagittarius. I hope that, like me, you’ve decided to say “screw you, i will always be a capricorn.”
also, i just finished my last piece of birthday cake one your birthday. I’m sorry I didn’t save it for you.
Happy Friday birthday Baby! (yes!)
Her name is Friday and her birthday’s on a Friday, what a twiiist
YAY! It was an awesome one, and it’s even better now! Thanks, guys!
Looks like somebody didn’t like the cover for the new issue of GOOP
Monsters it’s Friday and I just found out my boyfriend and I got our dream room and are moving to San Francisco!!!!!! I’m still funemployed so I didn’t Just Get Paid today but can we monster mash anyway?
And Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to one and all! Please consider using your day off to give back to the community: http://mlkday.gov/
Great! We need more Bay Area/Northern California monsters Maybe one day we can have a SF meetup.
bruuuuuuhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I find this clip and these people, within the context of the show, deeply disturbing.
Hey guys, what’s…sorry, gotta go; my fishmonger’s here.
“But guess what: MONDAY-FRIDAY, jerks. HANDS OFF THE WEEKEND. ”
Gabe, this made me sad. My boss just made my team and I work this evening and tomorrow. So thanks for rubbing it in?
I just thought you should all know, I am watching The Room right now! WOOO WEEKEND!
So if I’m in the Los Angeles area, I should join Facebook?
Congrats to all the winners!
I’ve gotta rest up and practice my socializing skills on a life-size pile of laundry made to look like a person before I head up to the Thirsty Crow for the first LA Monsters Meet Up! Yay. What do you think of that, Jeff, my pile of laundry?
…
Uh huh.
…
Oh sure. Definitely.
Jeff’s excited, you guys!
“But guess what: MONDAY-FRIDAY, jerks. HANDS OFF THE WEEKEND. This is our weekend, down here.”
Haha, enjoy SNL tonight!
i would rather be here
