Oh man. RAISIN' THE STAKES! What is going to be next for these guys? "Did you think that the freakout videos might have hurt your chances in this year's Presidental election?" "No, I mean, I just kind of feel like, you know, that people would make the right choice in the ballot box and they did. Now I am the President of the United States and stuff and, like, GOD DAMN IT NOW I AM HAVING A REAL FREAK OUT THAT IS NOT FAKE AT ALL." Believable! Obviously, these can't be fake, because...you couldn't fake something in exactly the same way that many times in a row? Stephen may be the world's greatest freakout kid*, but his brother is clearly the world's greatest logic kid.
Oh, but SIDENOTE: you would think that with the millions of views on their videos and whatever company is sponsoring this viral marketing campaign for Diet Rage Drinks or whatever this is, that they could GET A BETTER CAMERA. These things always look like they were filmed on a walkie-talkie.
Look, people falling down is always funny. Always. Duh Aficionado magazine's special End of the Decade Commemorative Issue. I mean, you don't want people to actually get hurt. We're all human beings trying to make it to the finish line, or whatever. But, you know. And even when people do get hurt, it's still pretty funny. It's pretty much just an infallible rule. Even when the people falling down are fake, CGI people, it is funny. Like, do you remember at the end of Titanic when the ship snaps in half and goes vertical into the air and all those CGI people fall 10 stories into the water, bouncing off of railings and walls and stuff? That was the best part of the movie. I'M THE KING OF THE WORLOLOLOLOLD!
But if regular people (or regular CGI people) falling is funny, Tila Tequila (who is not normal but might be CGI) falling is the funniest, especially if it's while she is doing some bizarre kind of NSFW, or at least NSFL, web-streaming strip show for her "fans." What is wrong with her?
War, Hunh, This Is What It Is Good For• I'm all for peace and stuff, but I'm also all for waging war on whoever made this. I love the smell of dropping napalm on whoever made that this morning.
Last night, anyone who uses the baby-proofed blogging platform Tumblr (now with fewer edges!) noticed that the upper-third of their "dashboard" had been taken over with a banner reading "Marissa Nystrom, will you marry me?" and below that was a post by a Justin Johnson, a user most people probably did not know and were not subscribed to, which included Justin's video proposal to Marissa (above). AWWWWWWWW. KIND OF. I mean, everyone is entitled to finding some happiness in this world, or whatever, and it takes an actual capital-M Monster to be completely enraged and pessimistic about a young couple just starting to make their way in the world. As far as I am concerned, there is still a certain romance and a certain hopefulness left in the institution of marriage. If you do it right, it looks nice! I'm not, for example, a person who thinks that marriage is an outdated system of wealth consolidation and patriarchal hegemony. Some people believe that, and that is fine, too. I bet those people are even more bothered by this than I am. Oh, because make no mistake, I am very bothered by this!
After the jump, I have posted a video in which teenagers booty dance on top of people's graves in a graveyard. If you follow the jump and you are expecting a video that doesn't feature teenagers booty dancing on people's graves in a graveyard on an otherwise sunny day, then you are going to be disappointed, because that is EXACTLY what you are going to find. Maybe you think the idea of teenagers booty dancing on top of graves in a graveyard to be tasteless and offensive, and maybe you think the idea of teenagers booty dancing on top of graves in a graveyard to be funny or at the very least as good a place as any to see some rather proficient booty dancing, but no matter which side you the aisle you are on (in the Graveyard Booty Dancing Senate), there is one thing that everyone agrees upon, which is that booty dancing on top of graves in a graveyard is DEFINITELY what is happening in this video for sure.
CBS has picked up a comedy project based on the Twitter account, which has enlisted more than 700,000 followers since launching in August and has made its creator, Justin Halpern, an Internet star.
Don't get me wrong, that is a perfectly funny Twitter account. I'm sure it would make a perfectly decent coffee table book. But a whole TV show? So it's a show about how dads say stuff? I'm glad Arrested Development got canceled and that The Wire is over, this engrossing idea is going to require all my attention! Although it is going to have to share some of my overwhelming enthusiasm with another show based on a Twitter feed (basically):
The Imaginarium Of Dr. Jim Carrey Dot Com• Whoa, what is going on with Jim Carrey's homepage? It's kind of amazing. It also looks like someone is angling for some freelance Flash animation work while they wait for that Liar Liar 2: There's Something Wrong With Lying script to get greenlit.
Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...
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.
If you are a sassy and sarcastic young man in an American sitcom who represents the sitcom writer's desire that a nerdy Jewish teenager can somehow be the desirable romantic hero in this world, then eventually you will get a...
Can you guys believe that there is only one week left until TWILIGHT NEW MOON IZ HERE? It's like all that anticipation, all those sleepless nights and sweaty palms, it all comes down to this moment. Well, not this moment,...
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: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...
Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....
