Seth MacFarlane Tired Of Jeff Dunham Getting All The Negative Attention

When we think of human garbage and national nightmares these days, we mostly think of Jeff Dunham. But it appears that all of that negative attention on Dunham has finally gotten to Seth MacFarlane, who wants his title as "The Worst" back. And last night's special on FOX, Family Guy Presents: Seth And Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show was certainly a step in THE WORST direction. Did you guys see this thing? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU, AMERICA? The past few weeks have been a non-stop Disaster Fest, and you're all laughing and clapping along. It is literally nuts! We are all the Mayors of Garbage Town and there isn't a jail big enough to contain us all. "I used to think 30 Rock and The Office were funny, until I realized that they weren't blatantly racist and homophobic and anti-semitic enough. Because THAT is comedy." Right, America? That's you.

"I disguise my hate with laugh tracks."
--America, 1776-2012

Anyway, the whole half hour of this thing, I was all like:

Martha Stewart Does Not Watch Mad Men

Christina Hendricks appeared on Martha, and then things got kind of uncomfortable.

The "I thought you were so much older" line is a total diss. If only Christina Hendricks had had the foresight to have the Greatest Martha Guest in the History of Martha, Amy Sedaris, on the other end of an earpiece giving her verbal sparring advice, she might have been able to come back with something sharper, like, "REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE IN JAIL?" But the best part of this clip is when Martha Stewart asks Christina Hendricks if her character on Mad Men, Joan, loves her husband on the show. "Oh, you mean the verbally abusive, dismissive husband that raped me on the floor of Don Draper's office last season? That husband? Do I love the awful rape-husband? Weirdly enough, I don't love him. The writers on that show are terrible!" It's OK, Martha. Lots of people don't watch Mad Men. Granted, most of them don't interview people from the show and ask them questions about the show, and if they did they might do some research beforehand, but, you know, you're very busy (not being in jail anymore).

Or, Martha Stewart LOVES Mad Men, and just revealed that she has a very unorthodox view of rape!

Glenn Beck Cries Because We Don't Live In A Coke Commercial Anymore

Oh boy. What is this buffoon even talking about anymore?! Remember when America pretended that AIDS didn't exist as we found ourselves mired in the Iran-Contra Affair? That Coke commercial aired during the 1980 Super Bowl. Is he seriously arguing that America was a better place in 1980? Well, he might as well, because that is going to be like nothing compared to his completely incomprehensible FAN FICTION about going to a high school house party. "They promised me they would get me home to my mommy, but now I smell like pot even though I didn't do anything wrong." Classic party talk. To be fair to Glenn Beck, even though I do not understand his metaphor, since it seems to suggest that everyone was having a blast during the economic boom of the housing bubble when in reality the economic stratification of the population got way worse, and the people currently suffering the most are those who were lured in by predatory lending practices devised by billionaires, I do believe that that is what he thinks a party is. A place you're begrudgingly invited by people who don't like you, where promises are broken because no one wants to take the crybaby home at 10:30.

"I have been to three parties!"
--Glenn Beck, adult.

How Could A Sniper "Prank" Possibly Go Wrong?

There is a Japanese game show called Panic Face King where the goal is to make someone have the most panicked face possible. And whoever does that is the king. Of that. I guess. Anyway, in a clip that is circulating today, one guy gets a severe case of Panic Face when he believes that the room he is in is under sniper fire, and that everyone that he was just talking to has been shot. This is what the Japanese call a "gotcha moment."

LOL? I think the funniest Panic Face he made was when he was lying prone under that body that he thought was dead, fearing the next wave of terrifying bullets. Although, they definitely got a couple more GREAT Panic Faces out of this guy when after he crawled to the door in raw fear, his shattered brain working in pure survival mode, they had more people come in with guns drawn, shooting blanks just inches from his face (sorry to interrupt, but that is, it turns out, what she said) and dragging him by the feet across the floor.

"Wakka wakka wakka!"
--Fozzy the Bear

This is basically the Japanese improv Everywhere, and it's awful. Pranks are the worst. Always. (Via the entire internet.)

Harry Connick Jr. + Australian Blackface = Eracism

You probably already saw this clip since it was everywhere yesterday, and I promise never to ever be on an airplane again* so that you do not have to suffer the indignity of seeing something posted a few hours later than it was posted on some other websites. But on the slight chance that you did not see this clip yesterday, you are about to see it, and for that I suppose I am also sorry. Because it's a terrible clip! Harry Connick Jr. was a guest judge on an Australian variety show called Hey Hey It's Saturday, and a group of doctors calling themselves the Jackson Jive came out and performed a horrifying blackface Michael Jackson tribute. Yikes. To make matters worse: the audience LOOOOOVES it. Fosters may be Australian for beer, but blackface is Australian for thing everyone loves so much apparently. Afterward, the host of the show, Daryl Somers, brought Harry Connick Jr. out to apologize. All of this after the jump.

David Letterman Is Sorry That He Fucked That Lady, You Guys

Sorry, I know this is already OLD NEWS in Internet Time, but I am on California Time, also known as Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit Juice Time. BREAKING: it's delicious! Anyway, Dave spent most of his show last night referencing the whole "OK but I'm still doing a little better than Roman Polanski, though, right, you guys?" thing. You have to admit, a personal/professional life melt-down like this is rare to see! Although strangely not as rare as you might think! But anyway, it is like watching a slow-motion train wreck, if train wreck's were sarcastic and hilarious.

Here is Dave cracking wise (and cracking a little :() in his monologue:

And here he is apologizing to his wife and the rest of his staff on air:

David Letterman Gets In On That Sweet "Free Roman Polanski" Action

David Letterman spent 10 minutes on his show last night explaining in detail (sort of) an extortion threat made against him to expose a series of inter-office sexual affairs. And so naturally someone has uploaded a Zapruder Film of the entire thing (what is it this week with Zapruder Films? Or is it Zapruders Film?):

Now look, no one is arguing that Dave can't tell a compelling story. He certainly can! They should give him his own show. And having sexual affairs with your employees is not a crime, nor is it even remotely related to giving a 13-year-old girl quaaludes and sodomizing her (not necessarily in that order), and the two situations should not even be in the same sentence together unless that sentence, like this one, is explicitly explaining how much they are not the same or related at all. But you have to admit that there is some clever timing to this!
