It’s looking like the end of an era for G4’s Attack of the Show. The (Self-Proclaimed?) Mayor of G4, Kevin Pereira, is probably going to be losing his co-host, Olivia Munn, officially to The Daily Show.
I am of course basing this on the fact that AOTS films in LA, while TDS films in NYC… and there’s the fact of the matter that she makes a pretty good correspondent:
This is an oldie I forgot about. I’m not upset. It forgot about me, too.
This was sort of like a Happy Find of the Hibbidy-Wah?! kind. It was originally on Everything is Terrible’s website, and it caused them a world of potential hurt. Luckily someone else finally re-posted it, and Warming Glow brought it back to my attention:
And this little factoid will never leave my noggin:
I consider myself to be quite the pop culture pundit. American pop culture, that is. I’d go as far as to say we as a nation created it, although that may not be entirely true.
Imagine my Hibbidy-Wah?! reaction when my co-worker pal Dave found this YouTube video of an Italian pop star that has over 10 million hits! (I’m sure the view count has little to do with the song.)
Her full name is Sabrina Salerno and this song came out in 1987. It hit the Top 5 in most European countries (of course), but as far as I could find, it never made its way here. Let it be known that as of 2009, she was still releasing new music.
SIDENOTE: Are we sure the song isn’t really called, Buoys?
This leads me to a recent discovery of my own, and a reluctant admission.
— I enjoy watching crappy movies that are on Comcast’s OnDemand. —
There. I said it. It feels… like no big deal if I don’t list the turds I’ve subjected myself to, such as Toxic Avenger 1 & 2, Cherry 2000, Happy Birthday to Me, G.O.R.P., and most recently, Hot Bubblegum.
The nine film series (what is this… American Pie?!) started with 1978’s Lemon Popsicle. Here’s the preview:
To anyone up on their early 80’s filmography that might have looked familiar:
The Last American Virgin was directed by Boaz Davidson… the same guy that directed the first four Lemon Popsicle films! (Think of it as precursor to our recent slew of American remakes of foreign films.)
I guess other than these revelations, I don’t have much else to say. Other than this…
— They should remake Cherry 2000 with Megan Fox in Melanie Griffith’s role! —
I never realized how often characters in movie and TV shows were in so much trouble, they didn’t know they should leave. Hence the birth (and overuse) of the infamous uttering, “Get out of there!” and its ilk.
Thank heaven for 7 Eleven that no one’s ever told me to “Get out of there!”
Surprisingly, I’m not as big of a candy junkie as one might think. Heaven knows I used to be in my high school/college years, but not so much anymore. In those days, I ate two candy bars per day (Caramel Twix and PB Max). But that’s neither here nor there nor hear nor their nor hair nor they’re nor hare nor Nair.
AnyWhoppers, that’s not what this post is about. There is something awfully wrong with this M&M’s commercial. see if you can pick it out:
If you imagined Green working a stripper pole, I WIN! (Plus, I also lose as well as you.) If you didn’t, then check out this awful choice of words:
I recently learned you’re not supposed to eat more than 2000 calories a day. Apparently, this is why there has been all the hoo-hah about calories for yearrrrssss…
I thought this fake commercial was inspired by the scare-tactic style of old Brinks Security commercials. I thought Broadview Security was a clever, mock name (because they view broads, you see). Check it out here:
Imagine my surprise when this was revealed to me (man, AJ is an a-hole!):
For other unintentionally funny scares, click each of the names below (FYI – the above vid is entitled “The House Party”… because he was a kid looking for play, I guess):
Video games feel like they’ve been around forever. Sure, they might not always have been electronic, or in a sense (lost) “video,” but people have always used games as a distraction. What I’m trying to say is this: painting the Sistine Chapel was no different from a marathon run of World of Warcraft. Michelangelo was bored (for four years), and this was his distraction.
I guess that’s the essence of what I’m getting at… video games, or the need for distractions, is eternal. Well, maybe not eternal. Only since we as a human species haven’t had to worry about getting eaten by wild animals, die from the simple cold, or basically fight to survive. Wait. Scratch all that.
What I really want to say is thank Pong that video games exist. And thank Pong this game doesn’t:
And thank Pong this kid recorded his experiment in tastelessness (perhaps) and ignorance (definitely):
Do you think I’d get the same response if my gamer tag was PongDiedLOL? Or what if instead of painting this:
This took four years? Heh. I could do it in two... hundred.
Ol’ Michelangelo painted this:
Get it? It's like Ping-Pong minus the Ping!
Also acceptable (and probably the better joke):
And the Lord said, "Let there be... Me-damn it! You scored again, Adam! Keep this up, and I'm making you a girlfriend that will keep interrupting you!"
