Jon Stewart mocks Glenn Beck

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0500

While The Daily Show's Jon Stewart is not known for his impressions, perhaps he's onto a new phase of his career. Here, the cable news star (be honest, sometimes this comedy show is your primary news source) mocks Fox News commentator Glenn Beck by going on a Beckian rant about, who else, Glenn Beck. Regardless of how you feel about Beck, it's an entertaining cartoonish take on the man:

Kristen Wiig reads Suzanne Somers poetry book

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:33:04 -0500

I didn't even realize Suzanne Somers wrote poetry. So I learned something today. Watch SNL's Kristen Wiig do a dramatic reading of "Touch Me," as part of the ongoing Celebrity Autobiography series.

Weezer Snuggie keeps you warm... and gets you a free Weezer album?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:02:57 -0500

Weezer has always been at the forefront of Internet memes and embracing the cheesiest of cheese. Now, they've apparently teamed up with Snuggie. Buy a Weezer Snuggie and get their album Raditude for free. So if you need a Snuggie and... you'd like a Weezer album, I guess this is a pretty good deal.

Christopher Walken sings Lady Gaga's "Poker Face"

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:17:12 -0500

I propose we have a half-hour show every week where Christopher Walken does... anything. The guy is so hilariously bizarre that the show would be an immediate hit. Nobody else could have done the infamous SNL "cowbell" skit. And nobody can do Lady Gaga like Christopher Walken.

Forklift driver destroys $150,000 in cognac, vodka

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:45:12 -0500

This may be one of the saddest things I have ever seen. In a scene out of a high-budget slapstick comedy, a forklift driver crashes into a support holding up many crates of vodka and cognac, causing the surrounding supply to come tumbling down. Don't worry, the driver survived. It would be a silly and thoughtless play on words for me to suggest that this was "a completely different type of alcohol abuse," so I just won't make that joke.... ...oops. At any rate, the video:

Worst football play of all time? Player tackles his own teammate

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:30:08 -0500

Even though I never played high school football, I'm fairly sure tackling your own teammate is a bad idea. Feel free to suggest the reasoning behind this in the comments. I'm stumped.

Director Spike Jonze 'slaps' Kanye West

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:29:37 -0500

I'm sure several people have wanted to do this, but directorSpike Jonze ("Where the Wild Things Are," "Being John Malkovich") got the chance. In a "behind the scenes" video, Jonze repeatedly asks Kanye to stop texting, but quickly becomes unwilling to let him finish (ha ha) and slaps the music award show fixture. Enjoy the clip and follow the link below to check out, appropos of nothing, two of my favorite Spike Jonze music videos:

Zombies invade University of Florida; information booth defended with lightsaber

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:44:48 -0500

I swear, when I was going to school in Gainesville, this used to happen every week*. You would just be minding your own business, reading the Alligator in Turlington Plaza and all of a sudden a horde of zombies would overtake the area**. Thankfully, someone finally caught this incident on video, so all these claims I've made over the past few years may finally be believed***. * - Lies ** - More lies *** - This will never happen

Funny Miley Cyrus video: Billy Dee Williams touts Miley Cyrus commemorative Twitter plates

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:50:07 -0500

We're still reeling from the news that Miley Cyrus has apparently quit Twitter. Perhaps, with years of intense psychoanalysis, shock therapy and healthy doses of benzodiazepenes, we'll overcome this national tragedy. To help with the mourning process is Billy Dee Williams, whose velvety bass solemnly intones the sweet, sweet Tweets of our Miley.

Late night TV goes all "Blair Witch" on us: Craig Ferguson in the dark

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:37:42 -0500

I know major networks are usually looking to tighten their budgets in such trying economic times, but this is ridiculous. After a power outage, Craig Ferguson was forced to finish his show with nothing but a flashlight and a camera:

Live re-enactment of the infamous Leeroy Jenkins moment

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:11:16 -0500

Leeroy Jenkins is one of the most beloved Internet memes for gamers. It tells the tale of dorky World of Warcraft players taking the game way too seriously. They plan, calculate, strategize, prepare, plot -- you'd think they were charting out a real war with the level of detail they delve into. And then... Leeroy Jenkins just bull rushes in, instantly destroying their well-laid plans. Here we have Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse as the hilarious real-world take on Leeroy Jenkins. Much thanks to former WTN guru Andrew Tran for finding this video. And for those who aren't familiar, here's the original Leeroy Jenkins.

This is educational, but also a really, really bad idea.

The iPhone as Halloween costume

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:08:25 -0500

Great job on the costumes, but the mom part of me wonders how much they spent on something they'll only wear once.

Video: Mark Sanchez eats hot dog during Jets game

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:48:11 -0500

How bad are the Oakland Raiders these days? New York Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez found time to eat a hot dog during yesterday's 38-0 blowout.

Why is a bear better at hockey than I am?

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:49:33 -0500

It's not like I am an entirely proficient skater or that handy with a hockey stick, but I would have liked to have gone through my life without the crushing notion that I can be outplayed on the ice by a bear. Such is life... Crazy video, by the way:
