And thus ends Charlie Sheen week. I’m exhausted, is anyone else exhausted? I think it stopped being fun sometime early Wednesday when the reports about his children getting taken away from him started circulating, because at the end of the day, we are winning talking about a deeply disturbed drug addict with a long history of violence against women. With young children. In his house. Full of prostitutes. (Admittedly, the things that this deeply disturbed, misogynistic drug addict SAYS are still pretty hilarious. Tiger blood! Too much, man!) Obviously, for some people Charlie Sheen Week is just beginning. That is how the Internet goes. Expect an email from your mom to Charlie Sheen’s Twitter in 6-8 months. But for us, we are done here. Thank goodness. And oh look, it is the weekend, and not a moment too soon!

This Week’s Lowest Rated Comment
| Sam Spahn | Mar 3rd | Score:-53 | |
| Actually Never Nude is a real anxiety disorder! Gymnophobia. Oh that Arrested Development always making fun of the mentally ill. AD isn’t funny the second time you watch it, like Seinfeld. Can we please embrace Arrested Development as the piece of S#it that David Cross has always been telling us it is? | ||
| Posted in: Dear TLC, “Never Nudes” Are Not A Thing | ||
[Ed. note: First of all, give me a break. Yes, there are people who have a phobia of nudity, just as there are people who have a phobia of every possible thing you could think of, but that doesn't make the sitcom joke term "never nude" a real thing. And to then make the leap that Arrested Development was making fun of the mentally ill is actually retarded. (Get it?) I mean, you have to be joking. But I think the real reason you got downvoted is for your criticism of that show, and while I personally think it is a very funny show and not a piece of shit, I can totally understand you not liking it what with the whole everyone is entitled to their opinion thing. But it's probably a mistake to try to rally the troops on this one. Better luck next time, o' captain my captain!]

Great week everybody!
I’ll be spending my weekend at a Stanley Kubrick retrospective. My first retrospective. Is there anything I should know about retrospective’s before I go?
There are no apostrophes in them?
Congrats, Ballers! I hope everyone has a great weekend.
The Narrator is taking me out to dinner tonight so it’s time to party:
more people need to know what this is
So what exactly is this? I want to know very bad. I should mention that it was thanks to the random Misfits/Nathan .gifs way back when that lead me to learn of Misfits and Nathan. Keep it comin’ guys!
yes, do tell!
Detroit Metal City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Metal_City)
I don’t usually do this (because I am the worst?), but this week was ridiculous and I am also glad that it is the weekend. Dancing!
Fozzy’s gettin’ psychedelic this weekend!
Aw what the hell, it’s a party, right?
YAY! And I dance, dance, dance…
Zero upvotes for Baryshnikov doing eleven pirouettes? Man. Harsh crowd.
Speaking of Topher everyone remember to see Take Me Home Tonight this weekend, I know it’s gotten some mixed reviews but Topher, Anna Farris, Chris Pratt, Demetri Martin, Michael Ian Black, very good, very cast
I can’t take you seriously when you’re speaking in that ridiculous accent.
Oh wow! It’s my first time in the ball!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s your first time! Way to go, kittensmash! See you at that kitten ranch in Florida.
I love this
I love that he was in Harry Potter!
I liked That One’s Joke better when it was about the Alamo.
(Alawhatnow?)
aww..that doesn’t sound nice.
though my dog loves crispy bacon..so at least it won’t go to waste.
HOWLS MOVING CASTLE . WHADUP
Getting drunk this weekend. Who’s with me?
Seeing as this weekend is Carnival over here, what you guys call Mardi Gras, I plan on getting very much drunk, thank you. I’ve got my Flava Flav clock ready to kick it old-school.
this otter.
Whoa, sorry that my recycled street joke got the top spot, everyone. I hereby bequeath my #1 to Ian and his TBS Paula Deen gif.
Happy Weekend, Monsters! Today is me and my wife’s six-month anniversary so thanks so much for the coupon, FLW. I was in a bit of a pinch there.
I didn’t make the gif so I don’t know if I can accept that honor
You Are ALL CHEATS! You’re both disqualified! Kittensmash is now #1!
“I didn’t want to win this way!” -Ksmash
“It actually doesn’t matter.” – everyone else.
“I’m in the ball! Fuck the details!” – me
I laugh every time I see the “Deen with it” gif. I’m not a hater.
I am also sorry for the pirate grammar.
Darn! Tied for 5th but got no credit
I was in the running for my Charlie Sheen/Remember Me photoshop, but it appears there was a rash of downvotes in the past 24 hours. Conspiracy?!?
I was downvoted after the final tally (whenever that was). Haters gonna hate.
I was just really excited I might make a monsters ball without using a gif or MS Paint modified image.
You’re #5 in my heart, CA.
That comment made me laugh.
Also, I heard Facetaco has multiple accounts so he can upvote himself.
That was definitely my favourite comment of the week.
My feeling about this workweek can be best summed up by Cary Elwes and Dave Chapell in this gif:
Ah, bollocks to you, photobucket. Screw you, I’m getting a drink…
Noooo. At least tell me which scene it was.
See below for all the drink gifs you’ll ever need. I toast you Sir DirtySpaceNews.
Woohoo! My second Monster’s Ball! At this rate, I’ll get my EGOT by 2018(yes I did the math because I’m a NERD). By that time, The National’s “Slow Show” will finally be age appropriate for me(yes I did the math because I’m a NERD). How fitting.
Do you plan on spending your entire Slow Show year expecting to meet whomever you have been dreaming about? Cause I do.
I do; I just hope it doesn’t end up being a Terrible Love that causes me Sorrow and makes me want to Runaway to England.
I actually had a palm reader tell me that I’d be around twenty-nine when I finally found somebody. For a second I thought it was beautiful and prophetic and then I remembered that I was only nineteen at the time.
#SoLonely
Tiredandwired, that was my favorite joke this week for sure. Congrats!
Congratulations Topher Grace! He’s a Monster among men!
I’m just gonna post this here because I found it earlier in the week but there never was an opportunity to post, but it dererves some love:
gif love
Yup happy hour has started, I call for a drink gif off!
So good.
Who da fuck is da strokss?!? SUm sorta dizeeze?
One for you, eight for me, to paraphrase Conor Oberst.
#indiecharliesheen
Ugh, I keep looking at that Black Swan gif and I’m having serious urges to see it yet again. I literally can’t wait for the home release. Just look at how menacing the handheld is even in a one-second clip of a humorous moment. And that look behind Portman’s eyes that screams “I now have a darkness in me and I will fucking break your soul, Mom.” She fully deserved every last accolade. Still, it’s a shame that awards voters let her performance overshadow what is one of the most expertly paced and singular visions from a serious auteur in decades.
And it’s so sad! Most people don’t realize how fucking sad the whole thing is, probably because it’s too much to take in at once. It stabs you in the gut with a broken shard of mirror* and let’s you ask questions later. There is seriously SO MUCH there. For folks who were turned off by it, please see it again (I’m looking at you, Chris Trash).
It’s rapidly becoming my favorite Aronofsky film, and this is coming from someone who showed Requiem to my wife on our first date.
*And the mirror motif! Don’t get me started! An obvious metaphor, sure, but it works so perfectly.
Sorry for the rant. tl;dr
Dude, don’t let my dislike of it ruin your fun. I’m just a jackass making fun of things i can’t create.
Just for you, I will revisit Black Swan. I’ll post the result on VG’s paste-eating side blog.
Oh, of course you didn’t ruin my fun, if you can even call it that. I just want everyone to appreciate it.
Upvoted EVERYTHING because I’m starting to drink right… now.
Pam (from THE OFFICE) inspired me! BEST DUNDIES EVER!
Lets do this lorry style.
Am I the only one who hasn’t been in the Monster’s Ball? I feel like I’m the only one. #foreveralone
#videogumeverywhere Let’s all upvote this and get it into the Monster’s Ball next week
Dawwwww, that’s so sweet, thank you
This is what comes up when you Google “aww”. Very apropos. Very aww.
You are not aloneeeeee. I am here with youuuuu. Though we’ve never made Monster’s Ball, Videogum is always in our hearrrrts. Or something.
Really? I really thought you had gotten in, you’re so funny.
Just goes to show how RIGGED and UNFAIR the OSCARS I mean TEH VIDEOGUMZ IS
No worries. I haven’t either.
Although if y’all were Canadian, this totally would have made it in.
Just sayin’.
I can’t thumbs up this enough.
FUCK YES, SHIROBU.
Hahahhahahahahhahah OH MY GOD PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THIS
I NEED THIS IN EXPLOITABLE VERSION
Here it is: http://xrl.us/bikved
It’s not as good thou :p
Tayne I hope you make this a running videogum meme. We want moar kittehs.
Nope. I haven’t either! SOLIDARITY!
No Monster’s Ball for me, unless of course I’ve gotten lowest rated and put it into my massive brain storage of suppressed memory.
Definitely not! I do not comment in a timely enough manner for such things. You will make it one day soon, Napoleon Complex, you leave some very funny comments. #cheerleadinggum
Did I just fall in love with Topher Grace?
Hey! My twitter icon is in that pic! Right to Gabe’s left! (Hi, Gabe!)
