This guy knows what I'm talking about.
Let's all put on our nicest t-shirts and our formal balloon shorts and carpe this diem! (Thanks for the tip, Shabutie.)

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...

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...

I shouldn't even be here right now. I SHOULD BE GETTING INTO MY COSTUME! If I don't hurry, my facepaint won't be dry before I get to the MOONVIE theater, and everyone will be like "hahah, you look like you're...

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....

REALTALK: if youtube were a dating site, I would wink at this guy.
Score = 15
I though him spazzing out miming squares at about 1:30 was just adorable.
Also, I'm pretty sure *real* squares don't subscribe to fauxhawks.
Score = 7
Exactly. This should get the 'fake nerd' tag.

This guy is totally my boyfriend.

It's fashion week you guys! Leighton Meester is all about those shorts. He really is hip.

Ahh, this song always puts me in the mood to put an ax in Jared Leto's face. And really, isn't that what Fridays are all about?
Score = 9

What the fuck?! Well, it was Patrick Bateman dancing to this song, which makes me LOL. This, however, makes me :(. I guess I just flew too close to the sun on the wings of badly linked animated gifs.

I feel your pain, brother. My arms are a sticky mass of melted wax and crow feathers.

I feel like the Internet is telling us to cool it with the moving gifs.
Score = 13
Hah! Says the woman with the moving icon. I just burned myself.
Score = 11
Also, the internet is a stupid asshole (how else does 4chan exist?!), so it can keep its little lessons to itself.

I wore my balloon shorts to work today. My boss was mad until I showed her this dance. Now every Friday is balloon shorts Friday.

Whatever happened to the little brother from "Yo Little Brother". No we know. I wish we could pretend this never happened.

i'm just waiting for the reports to come out that this dude is a former pedophile/murderer/child arsonist just like every other creepy dancing phenom on videogum.

"Best Director in a Family Comedy" shirt= win X 2. "Balloon shorts" = lose. So he still wins. It's basic math. This guy gets all the upvotes.
Score = 2
I have the same problem with this that I had with the dorm room threatening boyfriend. As you can see from their profiles, they aren't the people they pretend to be in the particular video we are seeing, so we're actually laughing at what they want to be laughed at for. Seeing as I am a monster, I really only want to laugh at genuine nerds and guido's, not fakers trying to get a laugh out of me.

what he said.

In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Are you zeroattnspan on Youtube? cos he posted the same comment :p

It's a quote. American Psycho.

Next Double Dog: Gabe, you must make a video of yourself dubstepping in balloon shorts. Bonus points for filming in multiple locations.
Score = 10
We should collect all the Double Dogs that have been issued in the comments (except the ones about Gabe attending the Gathering, because we want him to live) and save them up for the glorious day when Gabe decides to do all of them in one go. That one glorious day.

"Oh god where do I even begin? I came out sometime in the 1980s. Then I heard "Losing My Religion" by REM in 1991, and my love for the 90s was born. I grew up in that decade and I really love the carefreeness of it and the awesome pop culture that went a lot with it much more compared to now. Oh god! I'm going to be like those fucking dads that I hate who can't stop talking about the 70s and how great they were...god dammit! This is how my mind works by the way I'm literally just typing what's going through my it.
Anyway, I write crappy pop songs and I go to school for Political Science. I want to get a PhD mainly in Asian Politics and become a Professor. I love politics, but I also love making fun of them. I have a really fucked up sense of humor that makes me numb to most things in life. Therefore, people consider me an asshole which I am okay with.
I really only like talking to people that I can carry an intellectual conversation with. This leads me to my next failed endeavor. The females in my life have been anything but par. As a matter of fact, every women I have ever come into contact with on an intimate level has either been a fucking psycho, an opposite of not whorish, a weetard, out of my league, occupied, or some combination of...just pick and chose if you'd like.
I consider myself a realist in life.This means I'm very pessimistic towards life and politics and religions. If you don't like that you probably will want to hit me in the eye so please don't...I hate both sides, that being the left and the right of ideologies. How about you people start thinking for yourselves; okay?
Well this whole thing has really gone downhill so I guess I should end it. I'll leave off with a quote..."I got blood on my hands and there's no remorse, got blood on my dick cause I fucked a corpse, I'm a nasty nigga - when you pass me, nigga look me in my eyes, tell me to my fuckin face that you ready to die""

Did anyone see Adam that movie starring Hugh Dancy as a guy with Asberger's (or as Community put it last night -- Assburglars) Syndrome who romances Rose Byrne with awkward pauses and indiscreet comments?
This video is the cliff's notes version of that film.

Darn it, video removed by user. I guess I don't get to watch the square dancing.
