In the spirit of The Office webisodes, there's a new series of bonus web mats (that's slang I just created for "web materials," it's so nuts) for 30 Rock in which "Tracy Jordan" answers viewers' questions. But the line where Tracy Jordan ends and Tracy Morgan begins seems so thin as to be indiscernible even to the man himself, it's basically just Tracy Morgan sitting in a chair answering viewers' questions. Hearing his views on crayon politics and how frog babies are made is good, but more importantly, Dear Tracy Jordan finally answers the question: should Tracy Morgan have a helmet soldered to his head with a camera mounted over the top of the helmet so that the camera is facing Tracy Morgan's face, recording everything that he does, that recording then streaming somewhere, anywhere really, be it a website or a dedicated cable network?
This seven minute animated short, Burn-E, is a companion piece to Wall-E, and when you are a companion piece to something that is the best, that makes you the best. It's called math.
They shouldn't even allow stuff like this on YouTube because it just makes me feel bad for all the other YouTubes. Aww, sorry you didn't have one of the most technologically innovative production houses that also happens to understand the importance of strong, intelligent writing behind your trampoline vlog, 14-year-old. Also they don't allow stuff like this on YouTube, so watch it before it gets taken down.
Usually deleted scenes are excellent reminders that the people in charge of entertaining your face know what they are doing. They're almost always unnecessary and kind of dull. Thank you for deleting them, whoever did that. But this deleted scene from last night's episode of The Office is as funny as most shows in their entirety, and it adds so many new layers to last night's plot. I still think Kevin is the worst. But he may be the worst AND the father of Jan's baby. Also, Toby.
People who saw The Love Guru, whoever and wherever they are, said that the only funny parts were the scenes between Stephen Colbert and Jim Gaffigan, who played competing hockey announcers, one of whom (Stephen) is on peyote. The Colbert junkies at No Fact Zone went out and bought the Love Guru 2-disc set just for its five-minute Colbert/Gaffigan blooper reel -- an act of self-sacrifice because it's really funny:
When we speculated about Love Guru catchphrases based on the trailer, we could never have guessed that "Can you draw throbbing?" and "I don't even think his balls want to be his balls right now!" would be contenders.
Season 4 of The Office came out on DVD today. I don't care if you buy it or not, because I do not work for THE MAN. I'm just pointing out a fact, because it did. But the following deleted scene (from The Office Season 4 DVD, in stores now!) in which Oscar helps guide Michael through the ins and outs of declaring bankruptcy just goes to show what a long summer it's been of half-assed Sea Doo in a hot tub videos and I Barely Survived A Japanese Game Shows. It turns out visual entertainment written by professionals and starring trained performers is actually totally worthwhile and enjoyable!
Michael Scott makes with the ha-has after the jump.
Any time I see a party scene in a movie, I know that they filmed it without music so that they could record clean dialogue, and that the music is added in post, but it's always unsettling to actually see the footage. It just goes to show that the difference between having the time of your life and being a creepy 28 Parties Later zombie is 10,000 dollars in licensing fees.

After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
As a rule, a children's movie cannot be the Worst Movie of All Time. Make no mistake, children's movies are categorically horrible, with very few exceptions, and those exceptions tend to be children's movies that are mostly for adults, i.e....
Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery, patience, and taste.
The Challenge: Despite being averse to cameras, teamwork, exotic foods, travel, haircuts, and physical exertion, I have to submit an audition tape to Survivor. The Result: As with the Saw marathon challenge, once again I find myself rocking back and...

Lindsay: the Golden Globes are even stupider and wronger than usual this year! Lindsay: Particularly in the comedy movie category Lindsay: and also the nomination for Entourage Lindsay: What does Entourage have to do to NOT get nominated? Gabe: impossible...
