I remember being on the subway one day eavesdropping on a conversation. A man in his early 20s was telling a woman he was with that when he was younger, no show could annoy his father more than the pioneering '70s show Maude, starring Bea Arthur, who passed away April 25 at the age of 87.
Bea Arthur's character, Maude, was the polar opposite of her television cousin, subservient Edith Bunker of All in the Family.
Poor Rush Limbaugh. The Democrats are anointing him the true leader of the Republican Party, opening him to ridicule from the left and repudiation from the right. So this dude stepped in to save the frail and demure flower that is Rush, borrowing a page from Chris Crocker's impassioned and hysterical plea for us to "Leave Britney alone!"
Hell's Kitchen's Gordon Ramsay is famous for being a perfectionist and a windbag with anger management issues. This video imagines him as a child — and what a charming, foul-mouthed, abusive little child he is!
Paul Revere and his Midnight Riders took a little detour and ended up on the Jersey Shore. Forget drunk history. I want all historical events to be performed by over-the-top actors in "Jersey douchebag" drag.
This is totally what James Cameron's Titanic would have sounded like directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Samuel "mother effing" L. Jackson. Not sure why this guy is all over the Internet now, but I like it!
Appropriate domain names are hard to come by. Sometimes you gotta twist the name of your website to fit the content, or if you're desperate, chuck appropriate out the window and just go with something catchy. Take this SNL spoof on an ad for Dillon Edwards investment company.
OK, this is Samuel "Mother Effing" L. Jackson in Transformers, so if you're opposed to strong language, it's NSFW. In other words, this isn't your dad's Saturday morning cartoon!
The "nice guy" sweaters. The steely gaze. The land of make-believe right in the middle of his bachelor pad.
It's a sad week, people. Bennigan's has filed for bankruptcy. Where, oh, where am I going to get my deep-fried cheese sticks, chicken strips (aka "Chicken Fingers"), and well, fried whatever with a blue cheese dipping sauce in a friendly, corporate, nondescript atmosphere?
Say what you will about social networking on sites like Facebook — that it brings people together, reinvigorates writing as a form of communication, yaddah yaddah. This video shows why virtual poking and wall writing is superior to poking and wall writing in real life.
It's terrifying.
