For those of you who have been waiting for this Buzz Aldrin/Snoop Dogg collab since Deborah Solomon broke the news of its existence in last week's NYT magazine, here it is.

'30 Rock' is the new 'Muppet Show'?
This blogger makes a convincing argument. Think about it: Liz Lemon pretty much is Kermit the Frog.
Also, kind of related, "Sesame Street" does "30 Rocks." What, did you think they were marshmallows?

Bradley Cooper on "Between Two Ferns w/ZG"
Get excited for "The Hangover" with the films two costars, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis on "Between Two Ferns."
(If Zach G. gets famous, I'm really going to have to learn how to spell Galifianakis.)
'Simpsons' vs. 'Lost'
I think I pointed out this site before, but Springfield Punx takes other characters from pop culture, and renders them "Simpsons"-style. He just finished up a week devoted to "Lost."
I think he did a particularly nice one of Charlie, but he also did Hurley, Jack, Kate, Ben, Sawyer and Locke. In his last post, he said that he was done for now, but he'll probably come back to it.

The Tiny Art Director
This site, wherein an artist takes commissions from his young daughter, is hilarious.
Here's a sample:
The Brief: A Crocodile
The Critique: What's he going to do to that bird? Is he going to eat him? That's not what I want. You have to do it with him killing that bird.
Job Status: Rejected
Additional Comments: Killing Daddy killing! Can you do it killing him?
The illustrations are all really cool, but his daughter likes about none of them. That seems about right for working on commission.
There's a book forthcoming.

TSoYA TV pilot
By Emily Hulme
The Sound of Young America: TV Pilot from Jesse Thorn on Vimeo.
I've mentioned the Sound of Young America once or twice, and if you're not listening to the podcast -- which features interviews with cool comedians, musicians and persons of interest -- you should. Subscribe here.
Anyway, above is a pilot for an aborted televisualization of TSoYA by Current TV that host and producer Jesse Thorn posted to his blog the other day. You can see that Thorn upholds the proud radio tradition of looking nothing like his voice makes him sound, so well done there.

"Law and Order: BFD"
Law And Order: BFD from This American Life on Vimeo.
The very funny Daves Hill and Rackoff star in this video, originally intended for but cut from the live version of This American Life. They play 311 orders in an episode of "Law and Order: BFD." I'd watch this on TV every week.
Dave Hill's website is here.

Susan Boyle backlash backlash
O.K., I want to say up front that I really don't care about this story, but I thought this piece of writing about it was too great not to share.
Gabe, over at Videogum, addresses the Susan Boyle haters (which kind of includes me, I guess*):
The Susan Boyle thing is definitely popular because the editing staff at "Britain's Got Talent" did a really great job of making it seem like she was a crazy, dowdy loser who was secretly a talent goldmine (i.e. living the dream), but that narrative is all over the place. Not just in reality TV, either. If you get rid of the 47-year-old Scottish virgin, Susan Boyle is basically Spider-Man.
Point taken.
* And just to clarify, I do not hate Susan Boyle herself. Good on her for having a nice voice and getting on TV. I just hate that this has been an international topic of conversation for more than a week now.

Paul Rudd and Jason Segel acting like goofballs
Mythbusters on DiggReel
The folks at DiggReel go behind the scenes at "Mythbusters."
"MB" is the best Sunday afternoon show. It's not too challenging, though it feels sciencey, if not actually educational, and you get to watch guys blow sh*t up. And it seems like the Discovery Channel reruns it for 20 hours in a row so you never have the dilemma of finding what to watch next.

A new dictionary for the cynical and depressed
This site is awesome.
Each day they define a new word, with these beautiful picture-book illustrations and soul-sucking examples of usage..
Pac Man escapes the screen
Video game-based hipster shenanigans are not just limited to Brooklyn. These French pranksters annoy and delight.
Best spam ever
I just got a comment (junked, so you won't see it) that opened with the following: "Hi guys. Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
So true. What say you, poets? We need to know your stance on cheese!

Michel Gondry: Everything must go
A screengrab from Michel Gondry's website.
(via)The lovably whimsical Michel Gondry is having quite a sale over at his website. He's selling T-shirts, personalized portraits and toilet paper. Yup, that's right. You can by toilet paper that's been doodled on by Michel Gondry. That doesn't seem so sanitary, but it would make for the best TP'ing of someone's house ever (although, in my experience, people only TP houses in movies and TV). What's that you say? The toilet paper is printed, not directly drawn on?
Also, I am astounded ... I was going to post SuperDeluxe's Michel Gondry on Cribs video, but I cannot find it anywhere. I can't believe this, they said it would never happen. Something has disappeared from the internet.
ETA: Ha! I found it! I knew the internet wouldn't let me down. Here it is:

The most important videos of all time
OK, not really. But Urlesque has compiled a list of 100 iconic videos from the history of the internet here.
You've probably seen many of them. Depending on how much of your life you waste online, you may have seen most of them.
I had not seen this one:
Charlie the Unicorn is hysterical. He sounds kind of like Dr. Girlfriend. Jason Steele, the creator, is up to Charlie the Unicorn 3.
They're up to 61 right now and they'll be posting 60-41 tomorrow. The final 20 go up Monday ... so I'm assuming 21-40 will hit the site Friday.

Saved by the Bell: The Grad School Years
You have got to read this McSweeney's story. An excerpt:
JESSIE: Ugh, Fitzgerald. You boys and your reverence for dead white males. What chauvinist pigs.
SLATER: Oink, oink, mama. And I mean that in the most Orwellian and neo-Freudian senses.
ZACK: As Henri Bergson might say, "Time-out!" Can you two ever have a conversation without it devolving into a dispute over phallologocentrism?
And this, just on the heels of the news that Jimmy Fallon is trying to reunite the old gang on his show.

Office Peeps
I love Peeps and I love "The Office," so of course I love this.
OfficeTally is having a contest to see who can best recreate a scene from "The Office" using Peeps. Many of the entries come from "Office Olympics" and that one at the beach. The one below is from the episode where Michael grills his foot.

More April Fools
This site has a pretty comprehensive list of the pranks people are pulling on the internet today.
Some of my faves:
• Ireland's green party calls for "urgent action on dihydrogen monoxide threat." Dihydrogen Monoxide is H2O, water.
• The Pirate Bay has merged with Warner Bros.
• Kitty hair extensions. (Although if baby toupee is a real thing...)
• "Whale-Sized Marshmallows Deployed to Thwart Japanese Whalers." It's whales made from PEEPS!
• Cash4Gold is proposing a new U.S. currency that takes us back to the gold standard. With Stephen Colbert's face stamped on gold coins. Although, their "this is just a joke" disclaimer at the end kind of knee-caps the whole thing.
Google launches CADIE
Hooray for April Fools Day! I already got pranked this morning by a publicist who gave the subject line to her email: "New Radiohead Album." Of course I clicked on it (even though she wasn't Radiohead's publicist), and sure enough, it wasn't about Radiohead.
Google's annual prank is obvious, but still pretty funny. They claim to have launched CADIE — Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity. Break that down, and it's roughly a thinking robot that lives in the internet. The best part is that what it's learned so far is that it likes pandas.
Here's CADIE's blog, her YouTube channel and a technospeak explanation of how she works. Because those are the first things you set when you're born these days.
She actually reminds me a lot of Jane, the networked artificial intelligence, from Orson Scott Card's "Speaker for the Dead." Although I'm sure there are plenty of other examples of this ... WOPR from "WarGames" ... actually, this type of entity tends to take over the world, I think ... well played, Google.
ETA: It just gets better. Email autopilot!

Snuggie/Slanket/et al. Showdown
Gizmodo has a funny piece comparing the Snuggie vs. Slanket vs. Freedom Blanket vs. Blankoat vs. wearing your robe backwards. The Slanket comes out the winner, only because the Blankoat costs $330 -- I didn't even know that thing existed.
I also didn't know that the Freedom Blanket was the original product. Would you wear it while eating Freedom Fries, perhaps? Maybe that's why no one's heard of it.
In addition, Gizmodo gives us the final word on wearing your robe backwards. It doesn't work, Smarty McSmartypants, because robes usually end around your knees, where as the beauty of blankets is that they go all the way down to your toes.
I'm just waiting for some crafty DIY types to start making homemade ... well, what would you call this genre of product, blanketwear? My own clumsy solution is to wear a sweater under a blanket if my arms get cold. Call me crazy.

Interview with Steve McQueen (the other one)
By Robert Levin
Special to amNewYork
No matter its ultimate box office take “Hunger,” from director Steve McQueen (no not the famous actor; he’s still dead), is one of the art house sensations of recent years. It won the Golden Camera at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and prizes at the BAFTA Awards and the British Independent Film Awards.
The filmmaker employs a spare, realist aesthetic to tell the story of Bobby Sands and the famous hunger strike he launched to protest the brutal prison conditions perpetuated against republican prisoners in Northern Ireland circa 1981. It’s currently playing at the IFC Center. amNewYork spoke to the director when he was in town for the film’s screening at the 2008 New York Film Festival.
What drew you to the event and the character of Bobby Sands nearly 30 years after the fact?
It wasn’t about him. It was more about the event. The situation with him as an individual struck a chord, an idea of someone who stopped eating in order to be heard. At eleven-years-old that left a big impression on me. [That] there was no food going in and therefore he wasn’t getting louder struck a chord, because the whole situation was odd. That year, 1981, there were the prison riots and Tottenham won the FA Cup, my football [soccer] team, so it was one of those coming of age moments.

Nick's Big Show
If I had an alarm clock that told me it was "go time," I'd be a lot more excited to get out of bed.
Comedian Nick Thune stars in this new web series from Atom, in which he plays a comedian ... living life, basically.
I love awful people acting awkwardly, but only to a certain threshold, which Nick's show might cross (also, behind-the-scenes Hollywood?, I no longer care to be in on that joke). But, it's only the first episode, so I am curious to see where this goes. Also Thune has a guest appearance by Paul Scheer scheduled for a future episode, and I love him. If there's anyone who can act awful person on the right side of the divide, it's Paul Scheer.
The internet is distracting
While you're avoiding work, life or what have you, check out Picture is Unrelated. I can't adequately describe it's non sequitur goodness, so I'll just repost an example:
The question isn't, "Why is he holding a fish?" It's, "Why aren't you holding a fish?"
Some of the photos are a little contrived, but most are just straight up, what-the-heck awesome. Browse when you need a dose of "life is meaningless, it's all gonna be ok."
ETA: Some are mildly unsafe for work.

George Clooney loves his hair
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
George Clooney is so adorably wackadoo. Despite that ridiculous backlash (RIP Radar) against the actor last year, I still love him. So, yes please, give me a video tour of your toilet in Chad, and complain about your haircut. I have the same problem; no matter how much I keep cutting it, my hair keeps growing. We're totally twins.

• Andy Samberg and friends talk to NPR about "Incredibad" here. "I'm on a Boat" is here (uncensored).
• Yahoo!news talks to WAAAAAAALT (Malcolm David Kelley), who has some ideas on getting his character back on "Lost."
• According to MTV News, No Doubt is set to perform the Adam & the Ants hit "Stand and Deliver" on the May 11 season finale of "Gossip Girl."

Phil Hartman SNL audition tape
Wow. This tape of Phil Harman auditioning for SNL has surfaced on the internet today. He was a remarkably assured performer, even at the start of his career, this tape shows. Also, hear the laughter in the background? It's apparently quite rare for the producers to laugh during auditions, so that's really something.

College Humor does 'Lost'
So CH is sometimes spot on funny and sometimes not funny at all. This video, Sayid doing stand up comedy, starts out like the latter but ends up the former, improbably enough. Like all things "Lost," if you're not a fan, you won't get it, but there are lots of in-jokes for believers.
My one quibble is that real Sayid would rather gnaw off his own arm rather than crack a joke, but whatever, it's a CH video. Also, the Hurley kicker at the end is awesome.

I love 8-bit music and Guitar Hero, so this is obviously the best thing ever. Download the ROM here.

"He's Just Not That Into You": No singing into random objects
I'm kind of baffled as to why this is actually a movie, and further still, why all these famous people are in it. It sounds like a nightmare of a film. But this trailer is pretty funny.
Justin Long, Bradley Cooper, and Kevin Connolly present ten chick flick cliches that are not in "He's Just Not That Into You."
But as funny as this is, I'm just not that into this movie. Sorry guys. I'm saving myself for Seth Rogen's mall cop movie (yeah, that's right; Paul Blart is not the only enforcer in town).

Here's the latest FoC single from this week's episode, which I haven't seen yet but I've heard is more on task than the premiere. "Sugalumps" doesn't beat anything from last season, but it's still pretty funny.

Reading Darwin
February is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of the Species." The landmark text is the foundation of modern biology, and a notoriously dense and difficult read, so I am reading "The Rough Guide to Evolution" by Mark Pallen instead (which, look for my interview with Pallen sometime next month).
But this brave soul is attacking the original text and blogging about it. Blogger John Whitfield has got a PhD in evolutionary biology and a real writer's grasp of language, and he uses both to examine Darwin's writings on many levels. It's really interesting and I highly recommend it. It may even inspire you to pick up Darwin's book yourself. Or at least a book about Darwin's book.

Damon Weaver is going to the inauguration
Damon Weaver is a Florida fifth-grader who got to interview Joe Biden earlier this year. He also talked to Caroline Kennedy back in October. He's obviously a mover and shaker.
Naturally, his next target was president-elect Obama, who initially turned him down. Even after the Miami Heat vouched for him.
Weaver even released a video that was a direct plea to Obama, and was still turned down. Though "Congressman Alcee Hastings is giving us three tickets to the inauguration and Senator Bill Nelson has invited us to an inauguration party," according to his school.
But the latest development, Gawker (well, MSBC) is reporting that Weaver has been granted press credentials for the inauguration. "My mother always taught me to never give up and shoot for your dreams," Weaver says in the video.
Way to go, kid.
You can see all the videos by the KEC news team here.

Time Waster: Bastard Tetris
OK, this game is just plain mean.
It's Tetris, but "the game looks at your playing field and determines which piece you will probably want most and then .... denies it to you." It's really hard. And more addicting than regular Tetris, even though it doesn't have that background music.

Ada Lovelace Day
March 24 is Ada Lovelace Day, a blogday devoted to celebrating women in technology. To spread the word, Suw Charman-Anderson is circulating a pledge to "publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in technology whom I admire but only if 1,000 other people will do the same." Why? In her words:
Undoubtedly it’s a complex issue, but recent research may shed some light: Psychologist Penelope Lockwood discovered that women need to see female role models more than men need to see male ones.
Well, that’s a relatively simple problem to begin to address. If women need female role models, let’s come together to highlight the women in technology that we look up to. Let’s create new role models and make sure that whenever the question “Who are the leading women in tech?” is asked, that we all have a list of candidates on the tips of our tongues.
Thus was born Ada Lovelace Day...
I love it, and The Tangent is on board. As a engineering school drop-out, I can tell you that the science and technology worlds could use some fem-positivism. (Just to be clear, gender issues were not why I dropped out; laziness was.)
Is this really entertainment-related? Well, yes! People in technology, some of them women, created computers; computers begat the internet; internet begat blogs; blogs begat the entertainment that keeps you goofing off at work all day. Ergo: women in tech created the Tangent (sorry, Scott). (Maybe my Ada Lovelace Day piece will be about myself.) (It won't.)

'Dear Gossip Girl'
The Southern Mothers offer up an R&B ode to everyone's favorite trashy teen drama. The lyrics are hysterically crass, and show the writers' deep familiarity with the show, dropping mentions to the Ostroff Center, gambling with Dorota (as collateral, not as a partner), Vitamin Water parties and dating secret Dukes. You can find the annotated lyrics here (<--Though it was Blair that dated the duke, not Serena, as noted on this site) .

That seems about right.

Neil Gaiman talks
By Emily Hulme
I just finished Gaiman's wonderful "The Graveyard Book" and I highly recommend it. In this recently posted clip from a talk given last spring at MIT, Gaiman discusses the cruelty in children's literature and defends the somewhat shocking opening of "GYB." "Kids don't mind it," he says.
There's more at the link above, and you can order a DVD of the whole discussion here.
BTW, we were discussing Gaiman in the office the other day, and we've decided that the look he is cultivating is very "Dr Who."

But thanks to Mental Floss' trivia list, I now know such fun facts as "Ralphie says he wants the Red Ryder BB Gun 28 times throughout the course of the movie," and that Peter Billingsley (the actor who played Ralphie) has been good friends with Vince Vaughn for ages. Check it out and impress your friends.

Lil' Gordon Ramsey, or kids cursing is funny
On the heels of Lil' Bill O'Reilly, comes a pitch perfect imitation of foul-mouthed, bad-tempered chef Gordon Ramsey as a child. As it is pitch perfect, there is a lot of swearing, so keep that in mind, volume-wise.
Parts 2 and 3 are here. The videos seem to be an advert for Caterer.com, a UK company placing workers in the hospitality industry. Clever.
'Benny Hill'-ify your videos
Just the other day (in reference to this post, actually), we were talking about the "Benny Hill" theme ("Yakety Sax"), and how it makes any video funnier. Now, this web site has an application where you can add "Yakety Sax" to any YouTube video! Pretty awesome.

'Lost' fans on location
The site comes with a large spoiler alert, but for those who don't mind that sort of thing and needs to know what's happening before it's happening, the folks over at Hawaii Blog are keeping a close watch on the movements of the "Lost" production team. Their spies spot locations around the state as they've been transformed into the streets of New York, Sydney, etc.; notice what actors are on call for the day, and extrapolate from there.
But remember, you can't unread what you read.
Animals vs. Machines on YouTube
Current TV takes a look at the subgenre of viral videos that is "Animal vs. Machine." It's pretty funny.

Fans of Joss Whedon and co. should get in on this action: The Paley Center for Media in New York presents a Sing-Along Screening of "Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog" on Friday, December 19 at 7:30pm.
Neil Patrick Harris is great, if a little one-note, on "How I Met Your Mother," but "Dr. Horrible" presents a whole different side to his comedic persona; and a lab coat is a good replacement for a suit. See it, I implore you. You can brush up on your lyrics at Hulu.

Droidel, droidel, droidel, I made you out of cardboard
What's a droidel? Why an R2D2-droid dreidel, of course. StarWars.com has instructions and a pattern so that you can make your own here.
We had a little trouble with ours -- glue stick definitely isn't strong enough to keep the whole thing together, so we resorted to tape. Also it would have been easier to cut out the pieces with an X-acto knife, rather than scissors. But our little R2 came out alright.
Look at him go!

Anti-Marijuana PSA
I'm pretty sure this is fake (I don't think the term chronic was used widespread until the last decade or two, among other things), but it's really funny.
"I know what you're thinking: What is marijuana? What makes marijuana so dangerous? Where can I get some marijuana?"
Apparently it's on a "Dazed and Confused" DVD, so, make of that what you will.
Tracy Jordan explains it all
As we learned from his interview on Conan, there's a fine and blurry line that separates Tracy Morgan from Tracy Jordan.

Time waster: You Thought We Wouldn't Notice
I've spent far too long this morning browsing the blog You Thought We Wouldn't Notice, a site devoted to spotting fakes and calling out design theft. Some of the claims are a little specious, but there are, sadly, many out and out examples of graphic designs being lifted wholesale and repackaged as original work (Urban Outfitters especially has a terrible reputation for this).
I don't know why it's so fascinating. But it is. It's a lot of people defending their own work, but a lot of the entries seem to be by third parties with eagle eyes.
The worst example is this one: Hot Topic carried a fake tattoo by T3n Th1rty One that was stolen from someone's actual tattoo (an original design). I would be so mad if that was my tattoo, and I saw some young part-time goth sporting a temporary version.

"Single Ladies" in the snow
By Emily Hulme
Instead of this not really funny version of "Single Ladies" with Justin Timberlake and friends as Beyoncé's back up dancers on SNL a few weeks ago, maybe they should have just shown this guy instead.
He's awesome! For comparison, here's Beyoncé's actual choreography. She's doing it in heels, but he's doing it in the freaking snow. As Gabe over at Videogum says: "There's a time for trying to prove you're cool and smart and there's a time for putting on a one-piece bathing suit and a hunter's cap and doing the 'Single Ladies' dance in the snow."

Monty Python has launched a channel on YouTube. They currently have posted almost 30 videos, including some behind the scenes stuff. Cheers!
Also, in more current comedy news, Graham Linehan's "The IT Crowd" is back for a third series this Friday ... in Britain. The show recently started airing from the beginning on the IFC Channel in the U.S., so if you're patient, they'll get around to showing the 3rd season. If you're impatient, well ... you'll have to figure out a way to see it now for yourself.
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, "The IT Crowd" is a show about the put-upon IT department in a large, poorly organized company of undefined industry. Graham Linehan ("Father Ted," "Black Books"), in a recent interview with The Sound of Young America's Jesse Thorn (embedded below), alluded to the fact that "The IT Crowd" is the show that CBS kind of ripped off for "The Big Bang Theory."
In short, watch it. It's British and funny.

Cosby Moments: "I'll ride a motorbike."
Because we talk constantly about "The Cosby Show" in the office, we've decided to start bringing you irregular Cosby Moments.
This one, appropriately enough, is from the series pilot, a fact I did not know until I looked it up.
Paris, Ugh
Paris Hilton was interviewed this week in a surprisingly interesting piece with Michael Musto in the Village Voice (surprising because of the subject, not the interviewer). But this quote just makes me despair a little about the state of our society and culture:
Paris: I'm a businesswoman, I'm a brand, so everything I do is to escalate my brand and give it more exposure. If you want to be in this business, you have to be in the media.
What business is she talking about? Rich useless brattiness?

"Little Shop of Horrors" lost ending found
In the original play version of "Little Shop," everyone dies: Audrey, Seymour, you, me, everyone. When Hollywood remade the show in 1986, Audrey survives and the plant is defeated. But! The relatively happy ending was shot only after test audiences disliked the original ... and that largely unseen original ending footage leaked onto the internet last week. Part one is above, part two is here and part three is here. And if you're interested, read more about the footage at 10 Zen Monkeys.

Change is coming ... to Comedy Central?
We've elected our 44th president, but work has only just begun for the future Obama administration. There are many important issues to be resolved, connections to be made, aisles to reach across, etc. But the question of the day seems to be: What is Jon Stewart going to do?
Seriously? That's the biggest question on your mind? "The Daily Show"? I like it too, but Stewart and co. are smart people — that's how they made the show what it was in the first place. Sure, Bush Jr. was an easy punching bag, but politics will always be ludicrous and there will always be stuff to complain about/make fun of. That's what Democracy, and dare I say America, is about! Maybe Barack Obama won't mispronounce/make up words, but, honestly, is illiteracy really all that funny in the end?
So, to sum up: Will "The Daily Show" survive an Obama presidency? I'm pretty sure, yeah.
Jason Lee skateboarding
It's a semi known fact that long before Jason Lee was Earl, he was a pretty talented skateboarder.
Here he is in his younger days (with a weird anti-drinking short film tacked on the end):
But, you may be wondering, does he still have it? Here he is in his Earl mustache.
Wanna know more? Here's a very thorough, oldish, interview by Nardwuar, the Human Serviette.

Lil' O'Reilly
This video was made about a month ago, so you may have seen it, but if you haven't, give it a watch. This kid does a pitch-perfect imitation of right wing screamer Bill O'Reilly, and it's hysterical. My favorite line: "Listen up pinheads, go drive your electric car into the ocean; I hope you hit a whale on your way to France."
Want more? Here's Lil' O'Reilly excoriating Barney Frank.
