What a week, you guys. It has been so cold and snowy, and obviously the whole Charlie Sheen thing, which I think has us all a little bit on edge these days. Come on, Charlie Sheen. Don’t you see what you are doing to CBS’s shareholders? Otherwise, I think that’s about it. I haven’t heard about anything else going on in the world that seems in the least bit overwhelming and emotionally exhausting and like one of those things that reminds you of how lucky you are to live in a country that despite its problems of which there are many is still quite peaceful and incredibly affluent and mostly a pretty nice place to live. I haven’t seen anything going on anywhere that helps put one’s personal problems into perspective and makes you feel grateful and remember that you aren’t a hero just for making it through the work week which it’s not like that’s something you don’t already kind of know but sometimes it does feel that way. I think it’s just Charlie Sheen and the moist-maker and that’s about it. Mostly I just feel sorry for US, you know? That it wasn’t Friday sooner? I don’t need easy, I just can’t have so hard. WEEKEND.
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the Modern Family Kids SAG Awards Caption Contest, and the Editor’s Choice.

If the moon were made of barbeque spare ribs, would you eat it? …I know I would. Heck, I’d have seconds. And then polish it off with a tall, cool Budweiser. But who put the Budweiser there? I mean c’mon. |

In the ball two weeks in a row? A joke about two balls?
Thanks Gabe! Thanks everyone!
You gonna poop or what?
…I’ve been saving this up all week. Thought you’d never ask.
DP, you are killing it lately. KILLING. IT. It is SO DEAD.
TWSS?
This week was pretty fucking nuts.
I almost pulled a Van Der Beek
Hey peeps, if you are in downtown Chicago or Wicker Park, come hang out with the Chicago monsters. We stopped the blood-in initiations, and our mom bought us deodorant.
I can’t make tonight’s but I’m coming to the Saturday meetup. You’ll recognize me because I’ll be wearing the same pants as my avatar.
Whoops, I forgot that they’re cut off. Guys, they have a Cleaver Sleeve.
As a zombie, I’m thrilled that FLW’s zombie movie poster took #1. Brains for everyone, on me!
ahem, excuse me.
Congrats monsters! One week closer to the apocalypse!
Don’t you mean the Paltrocalypse?
Awaiting moderation?! Stop trying to silence the monsters Gabe!
Did you draw an emotipenis? Because I did that last week and my comment got lost in limbo.
Also, I’m twelve years old.
And can’t hit the reply button.

You just need to be turned on for it to work
Aww that was supposed to be a reply to That One and his emotipenis problem. Sigh.
Dammit my reply skipped and fell below. Looks like we’re all having problems getting it up.
IM SENDING YOU AN EMAIL
Supposed to be a reply to Thats your commenter, but anyway, this is some fucking bullshit, so sick of the groupthinky commenting system fucking up all of our replies all groupthinkish, I FUCKING QUIT*
*Til Monday
DS3M I am being completely sincere and hope I don’t sound patronizing in saying that you definitely made me laugh a lot this week. HIGH FIVE!
Whoops! Anyways, PAAAAAAARTY PEOOOOOOPLE!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! ( I hope this is still a thing.)
NEVER FORGET!
Thanks big guy, and thanks pt smith (beneath, likely a reply when the comment system went kabananas
I’m fucking glad you quit!*
*’Til Monday.
No, just a happy gif of Mr. Rudd. Gabe hates free speech; Gabe:Mubarak::Videogum:Egypt.
Oh, s___!
The Bespectacled Wizard Beck disagrees with this as it is a sign of outsourcing and contains an ethnic person. But Ambrose Bierce on the other hand, LOVES IT!
My house didn’t get blown away in the biggest cyclone to hit anyone ever in living memory!* Good week, yall!
*More shit went down than just Egypt this week, I’d like to say on behalf of my entire continent that the world seems to be ignoring, including all my IRL friends, NOT THAT I’M BITTER.
You just need the cyclone to punch Anderson Cooper in the face and people will start paying attention.
Wait for it… Wait for it… Wait for it…
Bam! Scared ya. Happy Friday.
Wait, there’s a speakeasy in this wall?
I watched this last night. sure is creepy….but bad, really really bad.

Happy New Year of the Rabbit! Get it on!
FLIP THE FUCK OUT
This is for Team Swinton:
(I love this movie.)
Swinton gifs?
Swinton Gifs.
Rock on Tilda!
If I had skills, I would leave the images the same, but replace “Tilda Swinton” with Conan O’Brien.
Great week monsters. I’ll be spending my weekend locked in my room listening to these people.
Never Forget
Can’t you just Lazarus them or something? Please?
Sorry, I used my last Lazarus on Pavement
We’re ignoring it because retweeting news about Australia doesn’t make us feel all noble and smug and not racist. There’s no moral superiority paying attention to white people, don’t you know.
This made a lot more sense, and was funnier, when it was a reply to A Galaxy, above.
I swear.
Drinks anyone?
Cheers
Guys! I just helped set a Guinness World Record for the largest game of dodgeball ever played (2012 people – though the real story is that I got paid, as part of my job, to spend the day helping set a world record for the largest game of dodgeball ever played). Important stuff! And I got an honorable mention in the Monsters’ Ball! What a day guys!
Happy weekend!
WHOA WHOA Whoa Whoa whoa…. Whoa.
2012?
You’re at the U of A!!! My twitter feed was spammed all fucking day with tweets about that game. Did you eat any of the cupcakes?
Uh yeah, like four, they were delicious.
Are you at the U of A too?
Graduated a couple years ago. I thought I was the only Edmonster, I am much too pleased about this.
You on twitter?
No, I’m a bit of a sloth when it comes to keeping up with social networking trends.
Edmonster is the best term, and I’m very excited there are apparently enough of us here to warrant its use.
U of A Edmonster here too.
We should have a really awkward meet-up!
The Videogum is broken. Guess I’ll have to go back to interacting with people in the real world. What is this, 2004?
I was only six upvotes away from FINALLY making the ball.
I feel your pain.
I know! Monsters need to be less funny so I can get up on those balls.
I ain’t even touching that one. -Michael Scott
We’ll get there enchman. I smell an uprising in the works. Viva Monster Revolution!
I feel you Enchman. I’m sorry you were so close.

Guys, sorry, I won’t be here next week, as I will be recovering from carpal tunnel from all the upvoting this thread.
On a serious, sort of cool note, I’m currently editing a book called Teletechnologies, Place and Community, and the first chapter was all about the debate about whether communities exist online, if they need to be named differently, what qualities real work communities share with online communities, what the differences are, etc. and the whole time I thought well of Videogum and wanted to insert all sorts of comments about how Videogum is too a community.
I would like to acknowledge the following comments for being so fucking hilarious and I’m really surprised they didn’t get into the ball because COMEDY YOU GUYS

YOU GUYS ARE SO FUNNY like, I don’t want to be that person who just replies “hahahaha” but sometimes I am REALLY hahahahaha and I feel like clicking the little upvote button isn’t enough so here you go. You are fucking hilarious GOOD NIGHT.
I got a real job three weeks ago and am now finally getting to the point where I can slack off and read Videogum again! Phew!
anybody ever posts a twitter note asking for your email account just hit them back with an @ their twitter name and put a # symbol next to the word unsubscribe or type it in all caps for effect
