Cory Haim: 1980′s Tween Casanova

shap — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 19:53:12 +0000

In recent years, eternally 15-year old pop star Justin Bieber and Twilight vampire/werewolf Robert Lautnerson have dominated the hearts and bedroom posters of tweenage girls. But who were tweens way back in 1989 pining for? Cory Haim of “the two Corys” fame, of course. Here is a video Haim made upon leaving his first rehab stint to ensure his middle school fan base that he was still ready to be their heartthrob throughout the 1990′s, surely. Assuming Jason Priestly and Luke Perry don’t come along, that is.

Thank you Found Footage Festival, as always, for finding these historic gems.

Charlie Nails It

In this clip from It’s Always Funny In Philadelphia, Charlie goes on a first date with a little help from Mac and Dennis. What could go wrong?

This is why you should always go to one of those KFC/Taco Bell hybrids on a first date, not some fancy restaurant that makes you nervous.

Stand up comic and Parks & Recreation star Aziz Ansari isn’t happy about the pitfalls of texting as a single man in today’s post-email, post-phone call, post-notes-passed-in-class society. From his new stand up special “Dangerously Delicious.”

Adventures of the Pretentious Bum

Every neighborhood has one. That bum that’s always saying pretentious things. Ours lives on the corner stoop and is always going on about how he doesn’t own a TV and only watches documentaries and European cinema.

Don’t Pass Over This Clip

shap — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:44:43 +0000

With Passover/Easter 2012 season having just wound down, the best clip to cover the biggest convergence of Judeo-Christian holidays in one month (outside of December) is without a doubt this one from The Daily Show.

Note to future religion makers: always designate a child friendly mascot for your holidays. This is the reason Scientology hasn’t really ever caught on. Xenu the Galactic Overlord just doesn’t move candy at the local Rite Aid.

I was only a little kid in the 1980′s, but I hear this product used to fly off the shelves like the iPod 4.

The Last Supper

Easter is coming. In other words, the most boring holiday of the year for adults is upon us. I remember the Easter egg hunt I went to as a kid featured a second hunt afterwards for adults. The eggs were filled with little liquor bottles. They seemed to have fun.

Other than that, every attempt I have seen to co-opt the holiday for childless adults and make it fun has bombed as hard as the Paas-coated eggs I used to hurl at cars. Point being, if you’re bored this Sunday, you’ll at least have this video to watch.

Happy Born-Again-As-A-Ghost Day Mr. Jesus!

Dance School Sizzle Reel

You may have never heard of the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms. (Be thankful if you haven’t). But this parody from Katina Corrao and Brandy Barber, with an all-star cast of hilarious people, is realistic enough to tell you all you need to know.

It’s getting harder and harder to parody reality shows the more ret**ded they become. Fortunately some people are still up to the task.
