Keep your Boehner out of my (your) Uterus

Speaker of the House John Boehner is now a meme. YAY! Thanks to the new tumblr, Keep Your Boehner Out of My Uterus, you can laugh at all of Boehner's misogyny. It's great. Check out some of my favorites below.

Garfunkle & Oats - Like the Flight of the Conchords, but not...

Maybe you've seen the videos for Present Face, I Would Never (Have Sex With You), or Worst Song Medley, but have you ever wondered who these two women are sitting on a couch singing at you are? They're Garfunkle and Oats, and they're a comedy-folk duo, like Flight of the Conchords, except that they're women, from America, and don't have a show on HBO. Yet... It seems that HBO is developing a series for the duo. Seems like it could be good. I'm interested in how they'll try to differentiate the show from FOTC's series. Check out what they can do with some money behind them with a new version of This Party Took a Turn for the Douche.

Charlie Sheen's Craziness + Cats = AMAZING!

By now, you've no doubt heard about the nuclear-style meltdown that Charlie Sheen is having. He went off on an epic rant on The Alex Jones Show. Medium Large went ahead and added some of his amazingly awesome quotes to pictures of kittens (and cats). It's great. Check out some of my favorites below.

Even more Angry Birds

If you're sick of seeing Angry Birds videos skip this post. If not, then enjoy yet another video about angry birds. This one features notable animated birds and pigs (e.g. Darkwing Duck, Miss Piggy) calling for the end of the deadly Angry Birds war. It's humorous. Watch it.

Y2Gay

The DOJ has stated that they won't be defending the Defense of Marriage Act. Yay! This likely won't change anything right now, but it is a big win for equality. For those that oppose this new stance, they can take some tips from the short film Y2Gay. Get it? It's like Y2K, but for the Gays. A quote from the movie "There's always something to be scared of."

Here's a bunch of fireworks going off...

Yep. This is a video of 320,000 firecrackers going off. Apparently it's a memorial to a family member. My only guess is that the family member being memorialized was a fireworks sales person, and over their career, they were responsible for 320,000 fingers being blown off. The other explanation is "AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!" Feel free to choose which ever explanation you like better.

Even more Bill Hader! Come drink some Hader-ade with me

Ok, my man-crush on Bill Hader is reaching new levels. I'm starting to see connections to him everywhere I look on the internet. For example, Splitsider has an article on all the movies that Bill Murray (another Bill, another man-crush, and fellow SNL alumni) was considered for and was not in (seriously, he was considered for Kindergarten Cop and Batman).

Also, I'm reading The Daily What today and I come across a Funny or Die skit where Film reviewers Eric Acosta and Wade Randolph make versions of movies that they are waiting for to come out. The skit features the movie "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" (I can also not wait for this movie to come out, since I believe that this is one of the first signs of the coming apocalypse). To tie this back to Hader, it stars Jaleel White, who stared as Urkel, and Hader's Stefon mentioned Furkel's (Black Urkels). Check out the FOD clip and a Bill Hader skit that is amazing.

Here's an antelope grooming a cat...

Yep, this is a video of an antelope grooming a cat. Enjoy some weird inter-species making out.

And this is how Judgement Day starts...

IBM's super-computer Watson appeared on Jeopardy last night for the first part of a three-day contest versus two human competeators (Ken Jennings who has 74 straight wins, and all-time Jeopardy champ Brad Rutter). After last-night's show, Watson is tied with Brad Rutter with $5,000 each and Jennings is in third place with $2,000.

I can't help but feel this is exactly what Sarah Connor (of the Terminator franchise) was fearful of; a computer that starts to think like a human (also, if you haven't watched the Sarah Connor Chronicles, you should). I have a feeling that this article from McSweeney's, "Watson, The "Jeopardy!" Supercomputer, Sizes Up One His Opponents Before the Show.", is a pretty accurate account of what went down right before the show started. If you don't believe me that Watson is going to rule us all one day, check out the video of the practice round below.

Valentine's Day, NPR Style

NPR wants to wish you a happy Valentine's Day. To do that they've created eight Valentine's Day cards that you can send to your special someone. So, if you haven't already bought your sweetheart a card, then you're a cheap bastard then send them one of these.

Also, check out SNL's Delicious Dish featuring Florance Dusty and her surprisingly delicious muffins.

Mario Kart: France

Last week my wife and I had people over for a game night where we played Wii games all night (I kill at Wii Sports Resort and challenge anyone at table tennis!). One of the more popular games was Mario Kart Wii. This game is designed to be played in a party atmosphere because it's relatively easy to learn and play and you can screw over friends by bumping them off the course and hitting them with turtle shells.

These are all things that we'd like to do to our friends (and of course random strangers) at certain points, but we don't because that would be frowned upon by our friends, and more importantly, the police. One person is unencumbered by these restrictions, however. That person is Remi (could he be any more French?). Watch his Mario Kart inspired videos below.

Last week in memes

Two of my favorite things are coffee and chocolate. That tidbit of information doesn't relate to the memes that I'm going to mention in this post; I'm just dropping hints for Valentine's Day. Now back to the memes.

Two of my other favorite things are Ariel and Bill O'Reilly. By that I mean, I love the font (I am aware the font is spelled differently) and making fun of Bill "Pinhead not Patriot" O'Reilly. Luckily for me, they were both the target of memes last week. I am of course talking about Hipster Ariel (Ariel from The Little Mermaid with black-rimmed glasses) and Can't Explain That (were Bill proves that there must be a God because you can't explain the mysteries of the universe - where'd the moon come from?). Check out some of my favorites below.

F*ck yeah, It's a Captain America movie!

I was excited to see the first commercial for the new Captain America movie during the Super Bowl last Sunday. I was even more excited to see the Captain America trailer mash-up with Team America: World Police's America, F*ck Yeah! Check it out.

Brad Bird is a powerful man. Even his kidnappers are super famous

I love Pixar movies. Wall-E may be one of my favorite movies of all time, and if I had my way Toy Story 3 would win Best Picture at this year's Oscars. I've completely bought in to them 100% (speaking of which, read this Onion Op-ed piece from Pixar's Chief Creative Officer, John Lasseter). One of the main reasons that I've bought in to Pixar is their creative staff, which includes Brad Bird (He directed The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Iron Giant, etc.). He's a big deal at Pixar, and a big deal in Hollywood in general. He's stepped away from directing animated features and is now directing the new Mission Impossible movie (still can't say that I'm excited about that). Anyway, check out Brad Bird's acceptance speech for the Winsor McCay Award at this year's Annie Awards and I think you'll see how important this man is (if you don't want to watch the whole video, skip ahead to 4:30).

I want to have a 200-year-old Sunken Ship Ale

I like beer a lot (this apparently means that I'm easy), and I typically pick up on any beer news that pops up in my daily blog reading. One story that I recently came across involves researchers drinking the oldest drinkable beer. Researchers tasted samples of 200-year-old beer found in a Baltic Sea shipwreck, which they said had "burnt notes" and was "quite acidic." Yum!

Everything looks cooler in slow motion

It's days like today (currently 29 degrees outside) that make me wish the weather was nicer so that I could go outside and have fun. It'd be great to have a back yard so that I could go out there and play with my cat (that sounds dirty, but really it isn't you sickos). After watching this video there is no way that you won't want to go outside and play with your cat (again, this video is not dirty).

So you think your friend can Krump? No, not really.

I present this to you with no explanation besides, this is today's interweb video of the day. Please enjoy.

McBain: The MOVIE!

McBain is America's favorite action hero (from an animated television show) and thanks to the geniuses at CollegeHumor.com, it appears the clips depicting McBain in earlier seasons of the Simpsons form a coherent single film. Check out the movie below. It's pretty excellent. My only wish is that I could see McBain: Let's Get Silly, which features McBain against a brick wall for 90 minutes (the movie cost $80 million dollars to film).

John Oliver can even make a DVD intro funny.

I've often said that DVD intros are the best part of seeing a movie at home. The excitement of watching coming attractions to movies that have come and gone from theaters (and relevance), the FBI warning to not copy or distribute the DVD, and the little snippets of what production company made the movie I'm about to watch are sometimes the best part of the DVD experience (this is especially true if I'm watching something that Michael Bay had a hand in).

On second thought, maybe that's not true. No, just thought about it more, and it's not true at all. Normally  I just skip through all that to get to my Collectors Edition of Big Mamma's House. However if John Oliver did my DVD intros then I'd pay more attention. Yes, he's that funny. Deal with it. Check out his BBC America's DVD intro.

Why you shouldn't go to Palm Beach (No, it's not because of Spring Breakers)

The weather in DC, and much of the rest of the country, sucks. Given this fact, you might be thinking that now is the time to escape to someplace warm. That's not a bad idea, as long as you're not thinking of going to Palm Beach. Why would you say something like that you ask (trust me you did ask that; I heard you)? The reason I say don't go to Palm Beach is a massive school of sharks was spotted about 100 yards off Palm Beach. Watch this video to see what Steve Irwin (no, not that one) saw.
