Obviously, this has been a difficult week for all of us as we continue to mourn the passage of our friend, Hugo Chavez. There is little that we can do other than accept our grief, lean into our sadness, and wait for the cool, calm waters of time to wash away our tears. Remember that you are not going through this alone, we are all together, supporting each other through this difficult time. OK, enough. R.I.P. THIS JOKE. Have a good weekend guys.
After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the The Little Lebowski Caption Contest, and the Editor’s and Associate Editors’ Choices.

Can somebody give me directions to this “special hell”? Because if Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are there, that’s where I want to go when I kick it. |

Uh this was her answer when someone asked her if she considers herself a feminist: “I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.” So this is definitely a girl who thinks feminism = man-hating, right? But my best friends Amy and Tina are going to hell for not helping other women (other women = Taylor Swift only)? |

[Assoc. Ed. Note: Taylor Swift, everybody! That "if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life" quote is bullshit! What's with your parents, Taylor Swift! They seem super dumb! Unlike you guys who are SUPER SMART & GOOD AT COMMENTING!]

| ” If anything, this proposal of them as being anti-woman shows just how little Taylor Swift actually understands about, well, everything, but also women and the world of women and the women in that world of women.”–A Man. | |||

I’m sorry, not to be all SUPER JUDGMENTAL about other peoples’ halloween costume choices and tolerances, but if you’re REALLY all that concerned about hard plastic mouthholes to drink through, maybe you’re just not that committed to Halloween. I don’t know. I just know that when I CARE about a costume, it seriously does not matter how hard it is to move or drink or go to the bathroom in. It’s about commitment. So if you don’t care about that, BY ALL MEANS, throw a trash bag over a hoodie and act like you’re SO CREATIVE. Great job, Halloween. |

[Ed. Note: This is a pretty intense hardline position to take, but I have always appreciated the Videogum commenting community's ability to speak its mind and not shy away from the honest truth even when it HURTS.]

Something something Friday. Something Dance Gif!
Opposite of Emma Watson dancing gif.
Dammit, they’ve discovered my friday commenting formula. To the batcave to search for originality!
Can we do one more Chavez gag? We can? Good.
Friend we never knew we had dancing gif
@ Frank Loyd, who is the woman in that gif?
Emma Watson
Wooooo weekends!
It’s really nice outside and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SPRING, EVERYONE! SPRING!
So in honor of my very nice weather *and* INTERNATIONAL WOMYN’S DAY…
ABC = Always Be Coordinating.
i wish i could have saved all my upvotes for the week and spent them here.
Meetup flyer, guys. Pass it on. If you see something say something.
Can we skype in to this?
Only the food part.
Better yet:
Awww man, a lecture???
The dangers of trampolines have gone unspoken in this country for far too long.
“Buzzfeed”
“Also not affliated with Buzz Media, Buzz Cola, Buzz Lightyear, or Buzz from Home Alone.”
Then why is it in Chicago??? Buzz from Home Alone was the whole reason to go!
“badideajeans, your avatar, WOOF!”
Woops. Sorry, Amrit. I’ll get Stu to change it.
Don’t worry about it, everyone makes that mistake.
No reason to change it. Unless of course for some reason it IS actually associated with Buzzfeed.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYYA Will I see you all there?
Yup. Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/390112901058367/v
Great job, all! Taylor Swift quotes are a total nightmare!
My favourite comment of the week was Frank Lloyd Wrong’s Wonder Year’s comment. That’s so good, I WILL be stealing it at some point in the future, either for myself or someone else. Just perfect.
Happy weekend, Monsters!
This counts towards my total, right? Someone call werttrew.
HAPPY WEEKEND, MONSTERS! My foot is asleep so I am kind of dancing dot gif.
Happy weekend!! No one showed up to work today due to the snow, so I was surprisingly unproductive! But now it’s the weekend and I am ready to be even more unproductive! Woot!
“World Of Women And The Women In That World Of Women” is totally your roommate’s new band’s name.
It’s two dudes with laptops, a guy with a guitar and a semi-passable voice, and a 23-year-old woman with a vague understanding of how her late grandma’s cello works.
I am dying right now. This deserves all of the up votes.
Oh man, you guys. Tame Impala was so great the other night. Helped make this a pretty solid week.
I finally got around to watching the 2012 bat-man movie. While I’m not a fan of these chip nolan bat-man movies, I have to admit this one was the least boring. The villain “Bane” was a lot of fun. I liked how there was this throbbing sound effect through most of it. But I also hated a lot of it. Why did Anne Hathaway start crying after Bane beat up Bat-man? She led him in to that trap, so what was she expecting? Then I realized I was arguing with the logic of a bat-man movie so I stopped thinking about it. Mostly I just hated it.
CONGRATS BALLERS!!! Remember not to do this in front of your maids this weekend!

This is totally me all weekend:
Oops I’m already there because this will be me!
The entertainment highlight of my week was Paul F. Tompkins mugging for the camera on Who Charted? Live on the Video Podcasting Network last night. Howard Kremer was looking something up, and Paul took the opportunity to ‘make love to the camera’ (his words).
Howie Kremer was so great on the greatest TV show of all time, Austin Stories.
Yay! Happy Monster’s Ball everyone! I’m back!
I’m sorry We Have A T-Rex. I didn’t mean you should really shut the fuck up. But the joke was there. And I took it.
I forgive you!
Holy shit am I tired, but whatever, time for the weekend!
you guys!!!! monsters ball AND editor’s choice?!?!? I am so happy to be appreciated. I also want to reiterate how importnat Halloween is to me: Very. But I recognize that some people don’t take Halloween as seriously as I do and those people have every right to put a plastic bag over their hoodie. Because this is America. Everyone have a great weekend!!! Remember, it’s never too early to start planning your Halloween costume!!!!
Happy weekend, you guys! I am super caffeinated right now because I drank a large coffee at 5:00, which was a huge mistake. At least it was delicious and free. Don’t make bad life choices like me this weekend! Stay in school and follow your dreams!

Happy Weekend! I forgot how big a medium Burger King soda is, so now my body is 90% corn syrup. Just in time for the soda ban on Tuesday.
