LET’S GET READY TO NACHOOOOOOS! This Sunday is the Super Bowl no duh, it’s going to be so great. Can’t wait to see that hilarious new Ferris Bueller ad on the big screen. Can’t wait to cheer on all of our men and men in uniform as they go for the big scoredown out on the old gaming pitch. (If I was 40 years younger I would make a golden snitch joke, but I’m not, so I won’t.) Anyway, you are probably watching this IMPORTANT EVENT with your friends and family, but in case you don’t have anywhere else to go, why not watch it with us? The Super Bowl isn’t your usual Videogum Video Pizza Party, but it IS on television, and it’s 2012 so HEY why not? All that really means is opening Videogum in one of your tabs on Sunday and leaving the occasional comment but HEY, it is better than NOTHING. Probably? Hard to say.
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the The Annual Vanity Fair “Hollywood” Cover Contest, and the Editor’s and Associate Editor’s Choice.

It’s Friday, let’s dance like we just saw a sloth
Superbowl VG Pizza Party? Oh Snap! Two of my favorite things coming together. I will try not to nerd out too much. Also I gotta call my buddies, you ain’t coming to my house this weekend, I’m spending the Superbowl posting and giggling like a schoolgirl.
my reaction shot
I’ve never watched this show before, but is that guy in the background an android?
Oh, and thanks for the EC, Kelly. This gif’s for you
Guess who’s back????
http://www.eonline.com/news/joaquin_phoenix_back_on_movie/290491
It’s me, I’m back.
Happy weekend, Monsters. You too, Gabe and Kelly!
Enjoy your Super Ball!
I warned you guys Louis would worm his way into the Ball! But noooo, you’re all too “cool” and “neato” to listen to Old Man Beerbong. I’m putting a plastic bag over my head in protest. Then maybe you’ll appreciate what I do for you.
Sorry, it’s hard to listen to you when we’re listening to Muse all the time. Did you know that Muse is the best band ever? Sure you did,everyone does.
Well, obviously they’re the best – their shows are appalling! But that’s beside the point.
So to recap:
- Gabe just mentioned something I posted
- It was a dick joke
- My team is in the Super Bowl
- It’s my birthday on Monday
Life is good.
Which is your team?
Milhouse’s hair is blue so clearly the Giants
You’re a Pats fan, right lawblog? #booooooooooo
But I have a friend on the giants… #confliiiiiiiiicccctttttteeeeeeeeed
Who? I’m going with Lawrence Tynes, because he is a kicker and kickers are the nerds of football.
SPORTS!! #sports
Big G, all the way!
My birthday is on Tuesday! Not relevant, but YAY BIRTHDAYS
Completely relevant! Birthdays all up in this piece!
The best thing about this is that I thought the cat’s paws were the arm rests of the chair. I love this cat so much.
It’s my birthday on Monday too! Happy birthday to us! And also Axl Rose. I’m proud to say I think I’m aging better than he is.
I share a birthday with Ashton Kutcher. It could be worse.
I think Google Alerts probably deserves an assist for that lowest rated comment winner.
Fun week gang! Happy sports!
What time is it???
Adventure Time GIF Time!
Looooove it.
Thread of the week was the entire Louis Simon thread, that was the best. I just bought expensive Tequila and I could not be more excited to drink it.
Which Muse album are you going to listen to when you drink it????
All of them at once obviously. Muse fans don’t do anything half-assed.
Good point. Maybe just shuffle them all with the entire 311 catalogue and call it a night!
Who the fuck is muse?
I just learned you can upvote Chris Brown’s Klout on Domestic Abuse and Steampunk… WHICH IS AWESOME.
This is truly a wonderful day.
Speaking of epic sports events, I just played a game of dodgeball with 4,978 other people! It was pretty boring! But we set a new world record, so eat it, University of California, Irvine.
I thought of you today, because I knew that game was happening! Were there cupcakes this year, or were the cupcakes kept off the premises because they weren’t registered students?
#ualbertajokes
Haha, no! I forgot about last year’s epic cupcakes.
That occupy Edmonton thing is so funny to me, because how could that many people have ever assumed that camping out on private property would be tolerated for even a second? The way that whole thing went down, and how they ended up getting thrown a sad little table in SUB as consolation was pure comedy
you guys wanna come over to my house to watch the super bowl?
Sure, I guess. If you would like, I could bring over my 92″ wide screen. You know, for straining the noodles.
I’m going to be more funny next week
I know I’m a long time listener and only 21st time caller, but I wish all the people who upvoted (or downvoted) would join the community. Create a username anonymonsters!
Don’t you have to be registered already to upvote or downvote? I don’t see the options there if I ever read a post while I’m logged out, otherwise I would obviously anonymously upvote all my own comments into oblivion.
I think peeps could still upvote with Facebook without making a proper account. In my travels as a videogum journeyman it always surprises me how many people say they just upvote but don’t comment. Some times we forget how many people actually read the blog compared to how many people actively participate. sometimes when it rains at night, the moon light hits the rain drops falling, creating a gradient reflection, and I wonder, “who are these monsters, why won’t you let me love you?” Then I remember it’s probably because i say weird shit like this out of the blue, for no reason.
I love how the highest ranked comment came after the lowest ranked. Symmetry, I think.
