Man, can we just take a second and remember that that Mark Wahlberg quote was SPECIAL. I just want to make sure everyone understands that. Like, at the end of the day, it was just a dumb celebrity saying a dumb thing, but these moments don’t come along too often. Cherish them. This one is a real keeper. We’re going to be telling our grandholograms about the time a dead actor they’ve never heard of once said that he would have single-handedly stopped that very important thing they know they are supposed to care about but have a hard time relating to since it happened so many years before they were born. A gem. Never forget. PAH!
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the Look Who’s Knocked Up 2 Caption Contest, and the Editor’s and Associate Editor’s Choice.

i doubt he has anything against the Departed. he was just saying, unlike the Other Guys he would’ve given them the Big Hit and taken out the terrorist Entourage then there wouldn’t be so much Happening and we’d all celebrate him being such a Rock Star and we wouldn’t live in Fear. |

I could see your point more if not for the fact that she has a lucrative endorsement deal for a diabetes drug. If privacy were her concern, she wouldn’t have the endorsement. If other peoples well-being were her concern, she wouldn’t have waited for an endorsement. |

Right now this is just some YouTube video, but I feel like eventually it will also be known as “evidence”. |

[Assoc. Ed. Note: R2D2, Esq. REALLY killed it this week, guys. Three top five comments in three different posts? C'mon. GMAFB. Way to go, man. Did you start taking a new kind of Limitless type drug that makes you very good at commenting? If so, WHY DIDN'T YOU GET NUMBER ONE, THEN? Jeb, congratulations on beating R2D2, Esq., even while he was probably on some type of future drug like from the movie Limitless, except about commenting. Explainer guy tries again -- very good job to you, too. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!]

Steve Winwood | Jan 13th | Score:-27 |
| I cant stand that two first names dude. Small face on a big head. Looks like a weird anime doll or something. I hate Parks and Recreation. | |||
| Posted in: Thursday Night TV Open Thread | |||
[Assoc. Ed. Note: Well, sure. He does have that. But sorry, Winwood, EVERYONE LOVES HIM. You know what I thought last week while watching Parks and Recreation? I thought, "If Adam Scott has a girlfriend I bet she loves him so much." Hahah. UGH. It's easy to say embarrassing things about yourself when no one is looking at your face just kidding it's always easy! But yeah people like this so that's why you got downvotes and you probably even wanted them so congratulations and HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!]

At least now I don’t have to worry. I can finally live my life without fear. I can truly, wholly live. In the moment and in myself. Because I’ve seen the worst thing. And there’s no going back. |

| Posted in: Oh My God Do Not Watch This Spider Video | |||
[Assoc. Ed. Note: A lot of big things happened this week, and there were a lot of great comments about all of them, but one thing I'd like us all to remember is how we all pulled together in hating that spider video so much. REMEMBER THAT SPIDER VIDEO? Oh my god. So gross. I'm glad we could all be here for each other about it. You don't always get to have a friend to share your nightmares with, and that's a truly special thing. Oh and I'm sorry that I showed it to you.]

Ugh, Ricky Gervais’ reputation is in such an unmitigated tailspin. Why didn’t Wahlberg stop this when he had the chance? |

It’s Friday, let’s dance while theoretically preventing terrorist attacks
Love me. Love me. Say that you love me.
Fool me. Fool me. Go on and fool me.
I don’t care about anyone but you godsauce
<3!
Sorry. Someone mentioned wearing a cardigan last night, and I needed to unload.
Great week. Not only Mark Wahlberg but also Paula Deen, Ricky Gervais and the park ravers.
On a different note, attention new monsters: did you know that we have a twitter list? leave a comment and we’ll add you. You can also reach us @ @mobfd @werttrew or @chris_trash #tweeting

Well done everybody! Lets have magical weekends!
C’mon, grab your friends!
Adventure Time Dance Party!!!!
You got me. I actually was taking the Limitless drug, but I didn’t want it to be too obvious and so I held back. You’re welcome, Jeb
Happy weekend, Monsters!
Solid couple of years commenting. Never received the editor’s choice. Feel like retiring now. Take a bite out of Friday everyone!
I love this gif and want to marry it. Let’s hope that gay marriage opponents are right about that slippery slope thing.
I’ll gladly give you one of my Editor’s Choices (I have 3!), if you have a Caption Contest you wouldn’t minhd parting with.
That damn Caption Contest will forever prevent me from getting an EGOT, so now I’ve resigning to buy my way to victory and accolades, like a regular Harvey “The Punisher” Weinstein.
GAH! I really should have proof read that comment before clicking submit.
If you have a lowest-rated to spare, I’ll trade you a Caption Contest. I need a low score for the double EGOT.
Just say how much you hate Parks and Recreation. Guaranteed lowest rated.
Unfortunately(?) I only have one Lowest Rated. I had to kind of campaign for it, Punisher-style, so it’s not even from a truly terrible comment that everyone hated (which only seems to work with Lowest Rated. The people seem to understand that it’s tough to WANT to be downvoted).
Goin’ to Philly!! Spa treatments!! Dinner!! And Happy Birthday Kelly’s dad!!!
Happy Friday. Drink up!
To each his own.
i wish it wasn’t snowing, cause i could really use some of that. i guess i’ll have to live with the three other whiskeys in my house right now.
dad?
The rye is so good.
Santa Fe! Alright. Gotta love that brew. I’ve been sipping a lot of La Cumbre and Marble ales myself, lately. Mad props.
Should I write a letter of apology for comparing the videogum blog to stile project? Because it was intended as a joke, a little absurdist humor and I feel it may have ruffled some feathers. Not looking for any bad vibes in this place.
Aw, you were just teasin’.
I, for one, would love to read that letter.
Maybe a video apology?
The thread of this week was no contest.
Also I don’t know where else to post this poster I made for an upcoming show I’m proud of except here. I’m not promoting, just bragging. Now you know my faaaaaace
what IS this and are you doing it in Toronto??!
It is a music show and it is in Guelph, 40 mins from Toronto. I will be doing it in Toronto in February and March, though.
You two should get together and form a monster supergroup.
Now I’m curious if this will stay static at zero, because if you upvote, I will assume it means you think I’m beautiful, and if you downvote it counts as cyber bullying. Careful now…
djfreshie covers Steve Winwood. Mind blown.
Also SOPA and PIPA were tabled… so yay for now and boo for when they’re introduced to other bills!
Hey guys, I don’t comment here hardly at all but I’m coming off a tough week so I’m feeling maudlin and wanted to tell you all how much I enjoy reading all your great comments. They make my day better. And Gabe and Kelly, you two are the greatest of all.
grab some sodas, order a pizza, and plant yourself on the couch….but hang in there and keep coming back!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Sub in whiskey for soda and that’s the weekend plan.
Yayyyy hi martin or meg, whichever is your name.
Yay & hi back, Funtastik!
Goddamn it. I begrudge all of your successes.
Feliz weekend everyone.
its snowing out, i have alchohol, and i just got about 7 dvds from amazon. sounds like a good weekend to me.
Goodness, Kelly, I’m glad to know we’re on the same page! This is the start of a new year and nothing can phase us going forward. It’s all just uphill from here. 2012, baby. Our year. In a life beyond spider babies.
My weekend is now over, but I wanted to thank whichever Monster was proselytizing about Homeland. We had the series premiere of it here last night, and it was SO GOOD.
