Jon Friedman, the creator of The Silent Wonder Years, which would be on any top-20 list of funniest things ever done with video on the internet, has finally created a follow-up that doesn't disappoint: Kevin is still living at home in his parent's basement, trying to explain "cool" to his 40-year-old housewife mother:
Jon should have to make one of these once a week. Nothing could ruin that show.
I missed this a couple months ago, but thanks to Aaron for the tip: the famous orgasm conversation scene from Manhattan, starring Miss Piggy as Diane Keaton and Kermit the Frog as Woody Allen:
Miss Piggy is a little miscast but Kermit is an eerily perfect Woody Allen.
P.S. I Love You, one of the new classics of bad movies, has inspired someone to make an anime version of the trailer. It starts out a little shaky, but if you've seen the movie, it gets totally LOL worth it, especially when the cast is announced.
It makes me so happy to see P.S. I Love You go international. It's the official bad movie reference point of the mid aughts.
The Rifftrax dudes were working on their commentary for The Sixth Sense, and the scene where a father learns via videotape that his dead daughter was poisoned by her mother gave them an idea. This is one of those videos that can be ruined by a description, so I'll just say that if you watch this, you're guaranteed to at least chuckle:
Just a little over 100 days until the horror is unleashed!
This is old, but making the rounds this week: a trailer made of clips from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, using the memorable score of Requiem For A Dream. It's a little long for a trailer, but it's from the olden times of 2006, when they didn't know any better. It just shows how haunting the music is -- you could set any movie scene to it and get goosebumps, but especially enjoyable are the parts where the comedy shows through (like Jennifer Grey's driving freakout).
And arriving on the same day, no less, and no doubt inspired by the MTV Movie Awards movie spoof contest thing. "No Country For Old Superbadmen" is a spoof that focuses on Superbad, while "No Country For Old Superbad" is a spoof that focuses on No Country For Old Men. Got that? I prefer the former for its slickness (are those the same locations?) and for the "boomp" on the nose at the end, but make your choice. (You have to choose. It's mandatory.)

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.
When Hudson Hawk came out in 1991, I was mostly interested in whether or not hoverboards were real, and staying away from bullies, so I didn't pay much attention to INDUSTRY NEWS, and yet it somehow managed to seep into...
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...
Donald Trump stormed around his office. He knew that storming around your office was how you convinced people that you were important and a big shot, so he was always storming around. Jeffrey, his ghostwriter, was sitting on the leather...
