Dear Gabe, But he promised he’ll never do it again! You just don’t know him like I do. Sometimes, when we’re alone, he can be so sweet. I really think he’s gonna change this time. Yours truly, Good Morning America |

I do not doubt that a blogger who asks every other viral video star to be his dad has father issues. |

here’s what I hate about zack braff: he produced this movie for one reason and one reason only and that was to kiss my future bride natalie portman, who can never be un-kissed by this ugly chinless Mr. Alternative Quirk balls. |

[Ed. note: This has to be the first time Steve Winwood has gotten the highest rated comment of the week (if not his first time in the Top 5?) Congratulations, Steve Winwood. If you were punk rock and the commenting community was the mainstream, they just bought the rights to use you in a bluejeans commercial!]

chris | Mar 23rd | Score:-88 |
| I feel bad for/actually like Chris Brown. I think his anger problems are the result of a rough childhood or something(?) and he’s just no good at handling them, like a lot of people. Plus, he makes some really good songs. No bullshit. | ||
| Posted in: An Open Letter To Good Morning America Concerning The Chris Brown Situation | ||
[Ed. note: Chris, I'm sorry, I honestly don't think you deserve this position. Your comment was relatively low-key and thoughtful, and despite Chris Brown's awful behavior, there isn't anything particularly bad about having sympathy for someone with misogynistic rage issues. Those probably DO come from a traumatic experience in his past! It doesn't excuse his behavior, but saying that you feel bad for someone who has to struggle with whatever kind of insecurities and personal demons that go along with that seems pretty reasonable to me. Also, Chris Brown HAS recorded some decent songs. He's a very successful pop musician, and some of that is legitimate. He's just also a complete fucking nightmare. But Chris's comment was nothing like, say, this shit. Let's all keep things in perspective here.]

OH MY GOD SO MUCH LOVE FOR STEPHEN FRY.
OMG STEPHEN FRY I LOVE YOU!!!
Aw. Why did I get downvoted? I *do* love Stephen Fry.
Hugh Laurie was online.
Saw that, but too late. So sad. Also love Hugh Laurie.
Love the lovely Hugh Laurie too.
What do you want most In 2011 ?

In London, they call them A Bit of Fry and Lorry-days.
finally, a lorry joke that isn’t completely retarded! good work!
How does this not have ALL THE UPVOTES?
Great week monsters!
Our first monsters ball since heaven got a little more Liz Taylor.
Monster question: Who’s your favourite actor and/or actress?
Cary Grant
Setsuko Hara
OH MY GOD SETSUKO HARA. Love her love her love her. Most Demure Actress. Where is she now?? Can I give her flowers????
This guy. A-DUH!
Seriously, have you seen his movies? He’s the fucking best.
As far as Actresses, I have a fondness for this fine lady:
wow, lovely photo of my second favorite audrey
Two of the most beautiful people who ever lived are named Audrey.
I second this.
Conveniently here are my two in the same picture:
Ugh, I DO NOT GET THE AUDREY HEPBURN LOVE. At all. I wish I did, because I feel like a jerk when everyone fawns over her.
She’s pretty.
I understand your pain! Her…voice…mediocre and stilted. And Breakfast at Tiffany’s is just horrid with the ‘chinese’ character upstairs.
i feel your pain.
I think it’s because there is nobody like her. As great as Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor were, there were many people like them. But Audrey was completely unique. She carried with her a childlike enthusiasm and a mastery of the fine art of grace. She also was just a wonderful actress and a wonderful human being, I’ve never heard anybody say anything bad about her as a person. You don’t have to like her, I know lots of people who don’t. I think if you don’t instantly fall in love with her the first time you see her on camera you never will. But I recommend you watch Funny Face if you want to understand her.
Also, she died four years before I was born, so I always felt a little cheated that I could never track her down and convince her to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator. I would pay all of the money to hear her read a Burroughs novel.
Easily my favourite currently working actor:
Choke, Assassination of Jesse James, Moon, even his Zaphod Beeblebrox was great. The man can do no wrong.
I’ve used this .gif before for favorite movie, but it works for favorite actor/actress, too:
definitely one of the funniest movies of all time!
ah! I figured I got here waaay too late to post mine, but you did it for me! (I’m your creepy lurker soul mate!) Oh Jimmy. He is by far the greatest.
I second Meryl. Love, love, love her.
Me too! I just went through a big Meryl Streep phase. She totally nails every part. And the look on her face in the very last scene of Kramer vs. Kramer makes me tear up every time. So beautiful.
Favorite actor of all time.
Gene Fucking Hackman:
I met Gene Hackman once! He was super nice and very hungover, which was hilarious.
Signed in to upvote. I think that’s his actual middle name.
Marlon Brando
Audrey Hepburn
I’ve never been able to look at a picture of her for more than 10 seconds without crying.
tie between carey grant, jimmy stewart and this guy:
and audrey hepburn is my favorite lady.
A thousand times yes for RDJ. Glad he cleaned up and figured things out. I watch Chaplin every time it comes on.
My friend looks exactly like Robert Downey Jr, but his first name is Brian, so we call him BDJ. #coolstory
What’s your friend’s phone number? Asking for a friend of mine.
Well, he usually gives it out as “919-IRO-NMAN”
Gene Kelly
Meryl Streep
Favourite (olde english spelling?) actor:
Klaus Kinski
Favourite (SP?!) actress:
Edith Massey
Yes.
also…
My favorite actors are:
and
Bruno S. forever and ever. That movie is perfect.
My favorite actor in my favorite movie:
and #2
Eric Roberts for actor. I know he has done some not so great movies but his performances in Star 80 and Runaway Train were excellent. Makes me sad his career didn’t go so well later on and his sister became one of the hugest stars ever.
Oh and also-Peter Sellers. Being there and I love you Alice B. Toklas are two of my favoite movies ever.
What am I two days late? Anyway — I have so much love for a guy confident enough to dress up all sexfully in drag when half of everybody already thinks his name is pronounced “Silly Anne”. Beating zombie children to (un)death with a baseball bat is a huge plus, too.
Looks like Chris now has the fourth lowest voted comment of all time. If you exclude lowest-voted comments where commenters were essentially asking for downvotes, Chris has the second lowest voted comment of all time. http://mobfd.blogspot.com/2010/12/most-upvoted-and-downvoted-comments-on.html
Not that this is the second worst comment in the history of Videogum…I think Chris caught the wrong post at the wrong time.
On a separate note, this is actually Steve Winwood’s second #1 comment and his third time in the top five. http://bit.ly/hB7cLs
Hey Chicago (and Chicago adjacent) monsters. Don’t be glum if you can’t attend the fancy NYC 3rd Anniversary Party with special guests and doilies. We’ve got our own celebration and IT’S ALL FREE! RSVP via Facebook: here
I will be there! I will truly miss the whole thing that happened last year where each monster showed up at the bar, sheepishly sidled up to our table and said, “Um, M-m-monsters???”
Dance Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doctor Who!
oops, where did that come from? #nerdingout
Here’s my last gif for the day
YES! this just made my day. thank you.
Thinking about it, Ulala would be a much better fitting avatar based on my name…
That is the only video game I have won in my whole life.
Spurned again!!!! Why God!? Whyyy?!?!?!
Maybe I need to be funnier, post more, be more incisive, produce witty puns and remarks and post hilarious images…..BUT WHY GOD WHYY?!?!?!
BUT GOOD JOB EVERYONE! No hard feelings (well, only a few, but they’re softening….)
Just make fun of Gabe’s deep-seated psychological problems. It always works.
Or maybe no one likes you because you stole my identity.
Someday I will win a caption and garner an EGOT. Until then I will wait here patiently.
At least you can track the progress of a caption contest. Every Friday I cross my fingers and hope that Gabe will have noticed the secret brilliance of some dumb comment of mine that only got 3 upvotes and every Friday a wilting flower somewhere loses another petal. And on the outside I’m all:
GET IT, BOIIIII.
I feel you. 2nd place on two caption contests in the last month. And my dad is all, “More like first loser!”
I hate you, Dad.
Your dad is a No Fear tshirt?
He’s a Big Dog hoodie.
For the record, I think you should have won.
“Fugly old bag of wrinkles” just became my new favourite insult. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend.
Dont know if we have any Deadwood fans in the house (the house = the commentator community) but as I continue to re-watch all the episodes over and over again one thought keeps occurring to me:
E.B. Farnum = Republicans
Fuckin Merrick (the rotund newspaper douche) = Democrats
E. B. is awfully craven and venal. Merrick is a huge effette goober like Martin Prince on the Simpsons.
Case closed.
Does that make Al Swearengen Fox News?
Next up in the Situation Room: We discuss the price of fucking whiskey these days and how it affects my saloon’s bottom line.
“Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store.” – Fox News
What am I?
Dreamy *swoooons*
this is my most favorite, most stupidest thing
incredible
makes me this happy
or maybe this:
PfffffffffFFFFFFFFTAAAAAH HAHAHA! She sees her FRANS!
Cheer me up guys, because those tweets about Robin Roberts made me want to harm myself!
My internet just exploded from CUTENESS OVERLOAD. Thanks a lot, Ian.
I have been rewatching Breaking Bad so I can’t see the sight of anything on a tortoise without thinking it could explode at any minute.
That’s what makes this gif so EXCITING!
This may be the best moment in the history of everything..
Well, it’s at least the best GIF I’ve ever seen.
happy (prince kuhio) friday
Is that the weird kid from 2.5 men?
OMG I remember that Cosby Show ep with a clarity that frightens me. Probably because it is 23 minutes of Bill Cosby entertaining children at a slumber party, much to child-me’s delight.
I was into steve winwood before he was mainstream
A million upvotes for you, sir.
Can I come over to your blanket fort?
hey…these guys are my friends…and they’re a really cool band called dr manhattan. i only ask because, do you know them? because then are you from northern illinois? i’ve met like 3 rural illinoisans who read videogum.
Nope, I don’t know them. I listened to some of their songs after you mentioned them; not bad. I am from Chicago, as are many monsters. Look above, we are having a satellite meetup in April
Sorry, I got the image from Joe Mande’s blog.did you catch the steve winwood reference in the opening credits of the cleveland show
our steve?
This sums up my week.
Is that cat ok, bc that jump wasn’t even close to making that jump #CatShame
Oh, he totally would have had it if someone clearly hadn’t made that television top so slippery.
Um.. that jump wasn’t even close to making it*
YOU GUYS! YOU GUYS! YOU GUYS! EVERYBODY! YOU GUYS! I’m pretty sure I got my videogum best this week with 65 upvotes! On a single comment!
Hey, I made it into the ball, awesome.
I doubt anyone will read this due to it being at the bottom of the page, but thanks for the upvotes, guys.
I am making a fort out of human skin, but I need your help for some necessary items. These include: Bucket. Lotion. Also, a place to dispose of the in-between.
Maybe if I post a link to this I can ignore the weird things you are planning on doing with human corpses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CQokgv0dQw
