Kid drops from fourth-story window onto snow pile

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:11:16 -0500

I won't tell you how to live, but you probably shouldn't try this at home (especially if you live in South Florida).

Best dunk of the year so far? Wade "YouTubes" Varejao

A highlight from Thursday night's Heat-Cavaliers game:

Carrie Prejean's bizarre Larry King appearance

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:16:11 -0500

How exactly does one "walk off" (or in this case, awkwardly sit there without her mic on) Larry King's show? The guy's known more for lobbing journalistic softballs than grenades. But in this case, Prejean determines that Larry is being "inappropriate." I'll let you savor that irony.

Subway misses drunk Bostonian who falls on track by mere inches

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:34:09 -0500

This woman should take this amazing event as a sign to take it easy on the Jager shots. The woman, wobbly-drunk at a Boston subway station, teeters over on to the tracks as a subway barrels toward her. Mortified fellow travelers wave furiously for the train operator to stop and he does -- just in time.

iPod combined with Nintendo controller

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:30:25 -0500

Considering the modern trendiness of the iPod and the retro chic element of glorifying, using or merely claiming to have owned a Nintendo Entertainment System, is this not the hippest handheld mashup of all time? This blogger certainly considers it in the running...

Taylor Swift on SNL: Twilight parody

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:50:25 -0500

From last week's Saturday Night Live: Taylor Swift stars in Firelight: A parody of Twilight crossed with Frankenstein's monster. For added fun, count how many times Swift cartoonishly bites her lower lip. I counted eight times, but I probably missed one or two. A high point from a fairly solid SNL episode:

Berlin Wall 20th anniversary: David Hasselhoff at the site in '89

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:41:03 -0500

Why people aren't wearing that light-up jacket all the time at nightclubs, ultralounges and other trendy spots is beyond me. Take in footage of what is clearly the most important thing to ever happen on the Berlin Wall site:

Women's soccer or UFC?

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:06:06 -0500

Wow. (The girl in the video has since been suspended.)

Jon Stewart mocks Glenn Beck

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0500

While The Daily Show's Jon Stewart is not known for his impressions, perhaps he's onto a new phase of his career. Here, the cable news star (be honest, sometimes this comedy show is your primary news source) mocks Fox News commentator Glenn Beck by going on a Beckian rant about, who else, Glenn Beck. Regardless of how you feel about Beck, it's an entertaining cartoonish take on the man:

Kristen Wiig reads Suzanne Somers poetry book

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:33:04 -0500

I didn't even realize Suzanne Somers wrote poetry. So I learned something today. Watch SNL's Kristen Wiig do a dramatic reading of "Touch Me," as part of the ongoing Celebrity Autobiography series.

Weezer Snuggie keeps you warm... and gets you a free Weezer album?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:02:57 -0500

Weezer has always been at the forefront of Internet memes and embracing the cheesiest of cheese. Now, they've apparently teamed up with Snuggie. Buy a Weezer Snuggie and get their album Raditude for free. So if you need a Snuggie and... you'd like a Weezer album, I guess this is a pretty good deal.

Christopher Walken sings Lady Gaga's "Poker Face"

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:17:12 -0500

I propose we have a half-hour show every week where Christopher Walken does... anything. The guy is so hilariously bizarre that the show would be an immediate hit. Nobody else could have done the infamous SNL "cowbell" skit. And nobody can do Lady Gaga like Christopher Walken.

Forklift driver destroys $150,000 in cognac, vodka

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:45:12 -0500

This may be one of the saddest things I have ever seen. In a scene out of a high-budget slapstick comedy, a forklift driver crashes into a support holding up many crates of vodka and cognac, causing the surrounding supply to come tumbling down. Don't worry, the driver survived. It would be a silly and thoughtless play on words for me to suggest that this was "a completely different type of alcohol abuse," so I just won't make that joke.... ...oops. At any rate, the video:

Worst football play of all time? Player tackles his own teammate

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:30:08 -0500

Even though I never played high school football, I'm fairly sure tackling your own teammate is a bad idea. Feel free to suggest the reasoning behind this in the comments. I'm stumped.

Director Spike Jonze 'slaps' Kanye West

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:29:37 -0500

I'm sure several people have wanted to do this, but directorSpike Jonze ("Where the Wild Things Are," "Being John Malkovich") got the chance. In a "behind the scenes" video, Jonze repeatedly asks Kanye to stop texting, but quickly becomes unwilling to let him finish (ha ha) and slaps the music award show fixture. Enjoy the clip and follow the link below to check out, appropos of nothing, two of my favorite Spike Jonze music videos:
