Hey, Saturday Night Live!  I have a funny comedy sketch idea for you!  What if Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Bill Richardson and other Democrats went to a Halloween costume party?  And their choice of Halloween costume directly related to their ...

Zombies are a growing concern for the modern American, so we can't help but feel thankful towards Lee and Sachi LeFever's The Common Craft Show. By using a style called "papercraft" to literally illustrate the ways in which one can identify a zombie and ...

It's tempting to write this post as a series of random Jack Bauer facts (which are funnier than I could ever manage). But why bother? This trailer for the new season of 24, so kindly and gently introduced by Kiefer Sutherland, does all the work for you. ...

The Internet is a vast and scary place, but so full of potential.  But tapping into that potential can be daunting.  If only there was some sort of handy guide for the Internet's use!Fortunately Gabe and Max are here, with "Gabe and Max's How To Get ...

Talent is a funny thing. You can't define it, can't label it -- but you damn well know it when you see it. I'm not saying Snowball the Dancing Cockatoo is any sort of contender for So You Think You Can Ballroom Dance With a Famous Person? But if there ...

This is perhaps the very definition of a situation getting out of control. Here, Ellen Degeneres pleads with the operators of a dog rescue organization to return a puppy she'd given to the family of her hairdresser. (It turns out that because Ellen had ...

Jake Gyllenhaal, when asked if he knew "what he was sitting on" when he was filming the gay cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain, doesn't quite know what to say.  Why can't he spit out an answer?  Why does he seem to be swallowing his words?  Well, he ...

Linkin Park, oh, I suppose I've missed you.  But what I've missed is your earnest boy-band-with-a-backing-bass sound, the uber-dramatic bridges and crescendos of synthesizers.  What I didn't miss was your attempts to be Coldplay.  I have seen ...

This impressive re-edit of A Few Good Men's climatic Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson confrontation might make writer Aaron Sorkin a little queasy. But it's a delightful send-up of what it's like to work in a creative advertising agency, and a great calling ...

By all recognized laws of pop culture, one thing is universally understood: at some point, Andy Samberg and the boys of The Lonely Island are going to find themselves facing a major-league backlash.  But for right now, they are riding high with viral ...

CBS's official description of this video is "This womans LOVES Drew Carey, and Plinko. She also really needs to use a restroom." And you know what? I can't really say it any better. Though I kind of wish that I hadn't just heard a grown woman use the ...

Ann Coulter's anti-liberal/anti-logic/anti-common decency stance has made her one of America's most polarizing public figures (I imagine you can tell where I land on this issue). But sometimes, she crosses even the most basic boundaries of taste. In ...

Oh, man. So it's just another Friday night and I'm lounging with my best BFFs at the the latest fabulous Hollywood see-and-be-seen (don't ask me where, please -- I wouldn't want to make you feel embarrassed). And we're enjoying some light cocktails and ...

Futurama's return from the grave has been something so long in the works that I'd forgotten it was happening. But the (self-professed) new morons at Fox have finally released a nice juicy trailer for the feature-length DVD adventure Bender's Big Score. ...

As a profoundly embarrassed "Gimme More" apologist (I think it's a good song, okay?!), all of the recent Britney Spears kerfuffle has me feeling awfully torn.  After all, I like the song.  But everything that's happened in relation to the release of ...

In this clip from the Desperate Housewives season, Teri Hatcher, in the midst of a flip-out about her menopause diagnosis, asks to look at Dr. Nathan Fillion's diplomas to make sure that they're not from "some med school in the Philippines." ...

Because Andy Samberg and the "Dick in a Box"/"Lazy Sunday" boys at Saturday Night Live sampled the band Aphex Twin without permission, this SNL Digital Short ode to Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (friend to the homosexual) has been off and on YouTube ...

The latest in Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty series, this blindingly fast video shows the barrage of images that assail young girls every day, just as they're trying to figure out what the hell they think of their own bodies. It's enough to make a grown ...

iPhone hackers of the world, unite! In the battle between Apple and those customers interested in modifying their super-phones, this week Apple drew some blood -- the latest iPhone update relocked any iPhones unlocked by this tutorial. So now is the time ...
