Liz Phair Roofied And Forced To Participate In Matrix Parody

That is the only possible explanation for how this could exist. That or Liz Phair not having anyone around her who cares enough to tell her that the AOL people are not at the top of the movie-spoof-creating field. Or even in the same decade:

If you had asked me this morning if there was any more of my teenhood left for Liz Phair to ruin, I would have laughed. But she just keeps finding a way. Be sure to watch at least until she says "Let's hug it out, bitch," -- the "Alrighty, then!" of the '00s.

Gatorade Is Extreme To The Max Times Infinity This Gatorade commercial parody makes fun of how everyone in Gatorade commercials is always sweating so much and being so intense, but the funny thing is that at the end of the parody it's not like you don't kind of still want a Gatorade so that you can be a champion.

It's Never Too Late For A Gossip Girl Season One Parody

Remember what a SPOILER ALERT letdown it was when we found out that Serena didn't really kill anyone in any sort of prosecutable way last season? Well, comedian Heather Fink and friends still aren't over it, and have just made an alternative "fan fantasy" scene where Serena really does stabs some bitches:

I never noticed how much Gossip Girl looked like the movie Metropolitan. You can see the original scene at Heather Fink's blog.

The Rocker's Spinal Tap Homage Is Actually Pretty Funny

I was pleasantly surprised recently to find that some high school kids I met were in the habit of quoting from the classic genre-defining mocumentary This Is Spinal Tap (along with South Park and Chappelle's Show). "He choked on vomit," one of them would say, and another would reply "It was someone else's vomit. But you can't really dust for vomit," and everyone would laugh. Anyway, that is so cool that people born almost in the '90s are remembering their comedy history. This new promo for the Rainn Wilson comedy The Rocker, starring Will Arnett, Jason Sudeikis, and Jon Glaser is, as Matt Tobey points out on the CC Insider, a total ripoff of/homage to Spinal Tap. But he also points out that it's funny, and that's true too. It turns out that there remains a lot about '80s rock stars, and rock stars in general, to make fun of, and that phallic humor will never stop being a part of it:

This is as good an excuse as any to re-live one of Spinal Tap's best scenes (which includes the vomit conversation.)

Bigfoot Will Always Love You Awww, it's the Christian The Lion story, but with Bigfoot. It's August, so this could conceivably be on The Today Show -- the only thing missing is the spelling errors.

American Psycho Starring A Toddler

The classic opening scene of American Psycho, starring a toddler as Patrick Bateman. "I use a no-tears shampoo, followed by a toothpaste with little or no flouride..."

The original scene is here, which makes me want to watch the whole movie.

Klondike Bars Are Not Worth Murdering For

Via Best Week Ever, this contribution to Klondike's 25k "What Would You Do For A Klondike Bar" is definitely not going to win:

You know who should do a contest like this one, though? Mentos. I want to see assholes taping themselves trying to get backstage at concerts using Mentos.

'Llectuals: The Gossip Girl Of PBS

Via Laughing Squid, in this funny trailer for 'Llectuals, the "evil comedy syndicate" POYKPAC imagines a world where a desperate PBS (now called "The Peeb") airs it's own answer to Gossip Girl, about a group of rich, beautiful high school students who know "growing up is about more than just the secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland.":

That trailer makes me miss Whit Stillman so much.

The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time: Round Two Late Additions
