Best Week Ever's Sara Schaefer was watching Kung Fu movies (for some reason: boring!) and discovered that guys in Kung Fu movies often look like they're going to the bathroom. So she did what anyone would do: she made a funny montage and named it "Kung Poo":
Apropos of not much, wouldn't it be funny if the people who made Ex Lax commercials changed their tagline to "Smooth Move, Ex Lax!", like River Phoenix in Explorers? The commercials could be people coming out of the bathroom and saying that to their boxes of Ex Lax. You're welcome, Madison Avenue.
Unless they come out with amazing new technology or employ extremely original new creativity, this is the last montage of Allison the duster huffer from Intervention I'll be posting, I promise. But of all the videos I've seen, this one pleads the strongest case for going back and watching this show so you can understand the Halloween costumes we'll surely be seeing this year:
Via tipster Brandon and Defamer. It can't be long now before our Allison appears on The View, no?
Thanks to Mitchell for tipping us off to his montage of Allison's "best" moments, set to exactly the right song:
Even The New York Times is getting on the Allison-driven new Intervention word-of-mouth bandwagon with a story yesterday admitting "That episode devoted to Allison was one of the most bizarrely mesmerizing on television in who knows how long."
So it's totally okay to have posted that montage. Thanks, New York Times!
This weekend, like a lot of people, I watched all of Mad Men on OnDemand. It's a good show with a lot of potential, but not quite the second coming of The Sopranos it's being made out to be (yet). But there's nothing else on, and the media hype machine abhors a vacuum. One amusing running gag afforded by the show's 1960s setting are the behaviors that would seem completely ridiculous now but were normal then, like smoking in hospitals. The show can't use them for much longer, but they're fun for now. Some lovely person has gone and made a "Top 10 Un-PC Moments On Mad Men" video on YouTube that surprisingly doesn't include the scene where a very pregnant Francine drinks wine while smoking, but provides a nice overview:
I would have placed the dry cleaning bag scene at #1 because it's probably the funniest scene on the show so far.
One of my ideas for failed reality shows (but not So You Think You Can Tickle, which would be a successful reality show) is called Here To Make Friends. It's a show where 7 strangers or whatever are chosen to live together and make friends, and it would exist solely to be the mythical "other" implied on every competition-based reality show ever, because the biggest reality show cliche ever is the line "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to win." Rich Four Four, in his infinite generosity, has taken the time to make the ultimate reality show montage: I'm Not Here To Make Friends (every time someone says they're not here to make friends, take a drink!):
This is the ultimate and there will never be a better representation of the reality tv genre in fan montage form, but if anyone out there has the time I'd love to see a "right reasons" montage just for the Bachelor/Bachelorette.
The great thing about the internet is you can pretty much name a TV character and someone has created a loving montage for them on YouTube. But this tribute to Reno 911!'s Deputy Trudy Weigel, brilliantly played as a sexually aggressive retarded woman by co-creator Kerri Kenney, is an unlikely choice. But the song, Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," seems to fit the subject, especially when Weigel's underminer Clementine is shown to illustrate the line "words can't bring me down." And the mockumentary cop show's intentionally shaky camera work gives it an even creepier feel.

We once again interrupt Videogum's usual posting schedule of viral fart videos and behind-the-scenes Jennie Garth news in order to display our second post that is an actual advertisement. Fuji won't quit with the contests. In case you are worried...
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.
I'm coming to realize that I've set for myself an impossible task. I'm like Don Quixote facing off against the windmills, except that the windmills are really difficult to watch, and often the windmills have Bruce Willis or Dakota Fanning...
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...
Even though Lindsay and Gabe are friends, they very rarely agree on anything. Every day, they have a fight about something. On Fridays, we publish one.
Gabe: did you watch any of the olympics? Lindsay: Well, this morning I turned on The Today Show to see if Barack Obama had announced a running mate, and there was a team of ladies in China dancing to "Everybody...
