Well that was a short week. Right? Actually short and then it also felt very short. The whole week just seems like everyone in the break room for ten minutes talking about the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial and then it was Friday. But right now, on Friday, I would like to not talk about the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial and instead I would like to please just say:
Did you guys watch the Sarah Palin movie trailer?! It is the best! Outside of just the fact that it is a “Sarah Palin movie trailer,” because basically whatever, but it is almost entirely composed of bits and pieces of out-of-context phrases! “It wasn’t something that daddy gave her.” “She looked him in the face, stared him down.” “Juno has something called the corrupt bastards club.” “People in leadership positions.” “She took it on because she knew it needed to be done.” Etc.! That is the best. Great documentary talking head sizzle reel. I don’t think we are talking about it enough, can we please talk about it more?
Anyway, after the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the Paris Hilton And Todd Phillips Caption Contest winner, and the Editor’s and Associate Editor’s Choice.

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn’t love you were in. There are no ‘exit’ signs in love, there is only an ‘on’ ramp. (( B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e_C_u_p_i_d. c_0_m )) Lots of my friends found their lovers through the se’rvice. You may have a try…  |

[Assoc. Ed. Note: Well, this is a boring one. Dangit. Remember when that guy said he was going to boycott my posts in the In-N-Out comments? Can't I talk about that? That was great, if you're reading this you are a scab.]

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I shall die before I wake, I will significantly lower the premiums for my coworkers and/or family and/or taxpayers, thus contributing to optimal market efficiency. |

[Assoc. Ed. Note: This is the best parody of this prayer since Shel Silverstein's that ended "--My toys to break, so none of the other kids can play with them." I still remember that from early grade school, please let me know how impressed you are. Also great job, Fondue.]
This Week’s Editor’s Choice
[Ed. Note: For this week's Editor's Choice I choose the entire Best New Party Game thread. That is a good thread! The past handful of games have gotten a little exhausting, probably, as they tend to be pretty simplistic pun reversals. But this one is fun! If you haven't played yet, you should. You will not, however, be recognized as a winner of this week's Editor's Choice because you commented after the fact. Rules are rules! That's OK, though! Just do it for the heck of things. -Gabe]

Congrats, Ballers! Time to celebrate!
Over/Under for how many comments this Monsters Ball will get, I say 25.
I got the over.
Yeah, low scoring week, eh? I blame the holiday.
Not just that, but there’s been less than 30 comments for all the Monsters’ balls (TWSS) for the last month or so. Have people lost interest in dancing gifs?
I hope not, if that’s the case this is me right now
I have not lost interest in dancing gifs, but I have lost pretty much all internet access that isn’t my phone. I’d explain, but I’m too tired. It’s Australia’s fault, we’ll leave it at that.
I miss u monsters!
I just call this the Summer lull.
I hope there aren’t 500 days of summer lull
This was really bothering me so I checked out the Videogum archives from a year ago this week and every post had at least 70 comments. But that was the week where Double RainbowTM happened so I might just be obsessing over nothing because I’m a bored teenager with nothing better to do than to obsess over comments on a blog.
I think everybody just sold their laptops in anticipation of new macbook airs, so they haven’t been able to websurf as much as they normally do (which isn’t really a normal number). I assume everyone is going through the same dilemma I am.
I just got new work (I KILL FLEAS, SON) so my sporadic bursts of commenting is reduced to selective lurking and blind idiot upvoting.
At least until someone makes a GIF-centric browser app for iOS. At which point it will be ON like RAE DAWN CHONG.
Hooray! I performed well in an Internet-based game concerned with subverting the synopses of movies!
I’m glad you’re all here today, actually. I’ve rejoined Twitter after an absence and wondered how I go about joining all the Twitter-related Videogum lists that seem to be around these days. Werttrew (my second favourite word to type on a QWERTY keyboard after “QWERTY”, by the way), some assistance please? I am @TwoTwoForNow
I am not Werttrew, unfortunately it’s something I have to live with, but you just have to at reply him with your videogum user name and he’ll add you to the exclusive, read not exclusive there’s like 300 people on it, list
Hey friends, I got engaged this week! So even though I didn’t make the Ball, I’m still happy!
congrats topknot you earned it? Seriously though congrats
Well done, the gum brood is in need of expansion.
Your next assignment?
OMG! This is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love weddings!
Are you going to sing a less-injokey version of “We Should All Be So Lucky…” during the wedding reception?
Congrats!
Yay topknot, congratulations!
maybe this has been pointed out, it’s pretty obvious – what an awesome analogy that movie title is for all of Sarah Palin’s relationship with the concept of “truth.” the Undefeated. She a John McCain TOTALLY were not defeated in that last election. it just doesn’t get any more TRUE than that movie title.
The working title for The Sixth Sense was “Bruce Willis Isn’t Dead The Whole Time”.
the subtitle for undefeated is PSSSYYYYYYCHE!!!
I taught my Korean students how to use the word psyche, and it’s the best even though they use it in almost every conversation.
That BNPG was so good I just wanna keep playing it!
Ratatouille: An incompetent chef commits some very serious health code violations.
Gummo: our generations Little Rascals
The Little Mermaid: A naive teenage girl gets taken advantage of by an older more worldly man
The Little Mermaid: A powerful, experienced sea witch tries to teach a young mermaid that love is a bunch of bullshit.
FInding Forester: Young black man breaks and enters into a famed authors NY apartment.
Videogum: Mentally handicapped woman valiantly runs for office, much to the chagrin of Internet community.
NNNNnnnnnnNNNNNnnnnn
My pop covers choir are playing this big music festival tomorrow and Sunday, and I’m really worried that I’ll fight with my liftsharers/get lost or my voice will give out. I’m supposed to be in bed by now (it’s coming up to midnight British time), but just wanted to say goodnight to all the Monsters.
I’d like to think that we might get invited to the Gathering of the Juggalos if we wow the crowds, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.
Best of lorry!

Wow!
Not expensive free transport and fashion good looking?
I’m thinking I may be able to make it from Aus to the USA for a Monster’s get together, AND look stunning at the same time.
So, does this mean I made the Ball? In the most removed way possible?
