Hold up, now! Joe Mande's retweeting of corporate messages can be truly brilliant (though not as brilliant as Joe Mande's Brokencyde Concert Challenge).
Agreed. It feels more like How's Your News or Gervais' Derek (laughing with NOT at someone who's cognitively impaired) than it Does Howard Stern's Wack Pack (mean-spirited and exploitative).
I know I'm in the minority here, but if you actually watch Derek, it's not having a laugh at the expense of the developmentally disabled. It's really well done, I promise! More a showcase of an oddball Christopher Guest-type character than an exploitation of the cognitively impaired. Like this, which we can all agree is wonderful and not mean-spirited: http://vimeo.com/46245944
My buddy went to a show at the Comedy Cellar on Friday and claimed that Dave Chapelle came out for an impromptu set and I completely dismissed him as being a liar or just stupid and confused because that place is tiny and Chapelle is a recluse. But I guess it turns out that my friend is not a liar/stupid/confused and I am just a dick.
But nothing is harder for people to accept than the simple fact that daddy long legs are not in the least bit poisonous. It's like the Santa Claus myth for adults, as people get so upset when they learn the truth.
YES! Snopes is a goldmine for this stuff. I've gotten into the most intense arguments with people who swear that their older brother's friend went to a haunted house in [Kansas City or Chicago or somewhere else kind of near in the midwest] that's so scary that if you make it to the end you get your money back.
Duh-LOOOOTH! is good, but I'm partial to the "...and other classmates" line. Also, I wanted to do you all a horrible disservice and channel my inner Seth MacFarlane for a moment: "Robert Asp elementary? More like Robert AspBERGER elementary!"
Sorry. Love that kid!
Wait, I'm so confused. I thought Gabe's mention of masturbation was just a playful embellishment because it's nowhere in this video, as far as I can tell. But now you say there's an "eeeeehw" moment from our hero in regards to the aforementioned masturbation? Are you all just fucking with me?
Is there a context for this post that I'm missing? Is it a response to S-VHS premiering and getting rave reviews at Sundance? Did any monsters see the first VHS? If not, don't, it was gross and dumb (except for the final segment about Halloween. That one was great).
I wholeheartedly agreed. It definitely is neither that bad nor that offensive. And maybe not as good as this, but certainly less offensive: http://vimeo.com/46245944
The not-braces one has nothing to be jealous about these days. Braces are gone and she has arrived! Meanwhile, I'm going to jail. http://youtu.be/aqNWBMtX1Tw
Mean Girls is really, truly, a great movie. And it's not like she's just along for the ride, as her character is lovely in it! You did a good job in that film, Lindsay. Do more movies like that something something if you believe in yourself you will know how to ride a bike!
I am really surprised by the uproar that the use of "white people problems" has created. There have been, what, dozens of Gabe posts in that past that included the "Being White Is Hard" phrase? And I don't remember anyone getting too bent out of shape by it.
I really like how the show lacks any apparent incentive to perform well. Whether or not you keep singing Carrie Underwood while you get blasted with skunk juice matters not. Also, the teddy bear was a nice touch.
And she's a DJ! "I listened to some classical music to play the loneliness and I listened to The Cure for the hostile, powerful and tough part of Dren."
If not for the rule about the A or B list movie star, I wholeheartedly believe that A Serbian Film is the definitive WMOAT. My opinion is entirely based on reading the wikipedia plot synopsis, but there can't possibly be a bigger piece of garbage in this universe.
I can't believe this video has been around for two days now and there isn't a Men Without Hats mash-up yet. Are you feeling okay, internet? I'm worried about you.
The entire scene is wonderful, if you monters have got 5 minutes to spare. A lovely rant on the disgusting nature of celebrity culture. And it also explains why this post is kind of gross. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQAr_AjZt-E
I think this is as good an opportunity as any to reference Ricky Gervais' finest work:
You open the paper, and you see a picture of Lindsay Lohan getting out of a car, and the headline is: "COVER UP LINDSAY, WE CAN SEE YOUR KNICKERS." Of course you can see her knickers. Your photographer is lying in the road pointing his camera up her dress to see her knickers. You're literally the gutter press.
[Unrelated to the caption contest] The name John Milius elicits such joy in me. For those of you that haven't had the privilege, the commentary on Conan The Barbarian is one of mankind's greatest joys. And if you believe that, you also believe there are Richard Simmons juniors running around! Please just watch some highlights, because it will drastically improve the quality of your life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86-vveE9DI4
My mom is rather liberal but also rather clueless when it comes to pop culture. A couple of years ago she bought my grandma that book without having any idea who Glenn Beck is. She thought the story looked sweet and wholesome or something. Every time I see it on grandma's bookshelf I want to off myself.
I hardly ever log in except to respond to Ricky/Karl/Steve related posts, but I want you to know how appreciated you are, Mans. I'll never forget that story about your high school band in the Final Placement post. Or how you could relate to the katana guy. One can only gather so much from internet comments, but you seriously seem like one of the funniest and nicest dudes in the world.
