That's One Way to Sell a Watermelon
I've never needed any added incentive to buy a watermelon (mmm . . . watermelon!). But if I did need convincing, marketing the melon as a Godzilla egg is a pretty awesome strategy. Source Read more
Watch Out, Bikes!
Can someone explain the thinking behind this? Not only is this sign basically telling bikers to watch out for themselves, but it's also located squarely in path of said bikes. Source Read more
This Tree Belongs to No Dog!
This double dose of bad punctuation — extraneous quotation marks and an unnecessary apostrophe — has me confused. Are dogs allowed or not? Or is the tree just trying to say that he's no dog's in particular? Either way, dogs: It's probably best if you just stay away. Source Read more
Grown Adults: Then and Now
I was reading geeksugar the other day and discovered the most amazing photo gallery evah: YoungMe — NowMe. The challenge: Peeps dig up old childhood pics, reenact them, and post themselves — then and now — on the site. It's amazing how all those diaper indiscretions, kitchen floor drum solos, and heinous sailor outfits that were so cute then are so not cute (but 10 times more brilliant and Read more
Men in Black 3: A Return to (Alien Life) Form
I saw the original Men in Black movie so long ago that my memories of the film might as well have been zapped with a neuralyzer (that's the memory-erasing device the guys use in the movie, for those of you who are also having trouble recalling the original). What I did retain is that the film was funny, fresh, and silly and that it didn't hold up very well for the 2002 sequel. With that in mind, Read more
Cannes Minireview: The Sapphires
The Sapphires has turned out to be one of the sleeper hits to emerge from Cannes, thanks to The Weinstein Company, which has already acquired rights to the film. I caught a screening of the funny film from Down Under during the festival, so read on to find out what I thought. Who's behind it? Director Wayne Blair was behind the lens of the picture, which is based on a play by Tony Briggs. Read more
Life According to Kristen Wiig's SNL Characters
This weekend's Saturday Night Live was a bittersweet finale, as one of our favorite funny ladies, Kristen Wiig, said farewell to the show after being on the cast for seven years. While we can't wait to see more of Kristen on the big screen — especially after she killed it in Bridesmaids — we will miss her hilarious SNL characters and impersonations. As we wish Kristen luck on her new Read more
Watch Ron Burgundy and the Boys in Two Anchorman 2 Teasers!
It's been eight long years since the original, but Anchorman 2 is so on, you guys. The movie is finally coming out in 2013, but two short teasers are here — and as brief as they are, they're both pretty funny. Will Ferrell's legendary Ron Burgundy is back on deck with his fellow news anchors, Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner), and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and as usual, Read more
Who Was the Best Host of SNL This Season?
Another season of Saturday Night Live has come to a close, with Mick Jagger hosting to help the show go out with a bang. There were so many high-profile actors, musicians, and even athletes who made funny moves on the SNL set this year. Channing Tatum and Zooey Deschanel each hosted for the first time, while former cast members like Jimmy Fallon, Maya Rudolph, and Will Ferrell all made triumphant Read more
The Dictator: Ruled by Tasteless but Funny Jokes
Full disclosure: I laughed out loud many times during The Dictator, knowing full well that I should have been offended instead. But what you see is what you get when it comes to Sacha Baron Cohen, and after movies like Bruno and Borat, you already know whether you'll be able to find humor in film about a horrifyingly ignorant world leader who's as naive, racist, and prejudiced as they come. I Read more
