'It Takes A Cold Dead Hand To Decide To Pull The Trigger'

For me, Jim Carrey just never gets old. If you’re into his sense of humor, then I think you’re just into it, and it always works. So when I head that he’d made a Funny Or Die video that included a Charlton Heston parody of sorts, I was all like Why aren’t I watching that right now? Now that I’ve seen it, my life is complete and my feelings on the gun problem in America have been appropriately addressed. Peep the video above to join in on Jim‘s hilarious sing-along. His song is called Cold Dead Hand, so. There’s that. And click inside to read Jim‘s open letter to Fox News!

‘Birth Control On The Bottom Yogurt’ Is Not A Real Thing, But This Fake Commercial Rules

That-Ish-Cray Of The Day

The Only Two Things That Matter To Women...

Y’all. Two amazing things happened to me during my two days off. Well, actually, lots of amazing things happened but I’m gonna share the two biggies. 1.) This ridiculously awesome fake commercial for Dannon’s Birth Control On The Bottom yogurt (starring Retta from Parks and Recreation, Megan Amram, and a host of other hilarious people) 2.) the STFU Parents blog. Both had me LMAO to no end, and both use humor to challenge and highlight the madness that is this beautiful and occasionally deranged world we live in. But seriously. This commercial is everything! If you’ve ever wished for a cool new way to take your birth control, and/or if you’ve ever wondered why the hell every commercial tries soooo hard to show how diverse, multi-cultural, and open-minded America is, then yeah. Please watch now. You will love, I promise! Oh, and hai Weird Al! Also, if you liked the video, follow the writer Megan Amram, on
Twitter. She rules. Clearly.

Tina Fey And Amy Poehler Channel Kristen Stewart In A New Golden Globes Promo Photo

They Pretty Much Nailed It
Posted by: Shannon on January 3, 2013| 6 Comments

When the 2013 Golden Globe nominations were announced, there were some major disappointments for a lot of people. But I think we all pretty much agreed that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-hosting was good news. We got to see a little promo video from the two comedians a while back and today we have pretty hilarious promo image. Click inside for a better look!

Watch: Danielle Fishel Of ‘Boy Meets World’ Offers A Brilliant Parody Of Lindsay Lohan As Elizabeth Taylor

That-Ish-Cray Of The Day (Brought To You By PITNBR Joanna)

Child Actors Need Love Too

There’s been a lot of chatter about Lindsay Lohan‘s role as Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime television movie Liz & Dick. In fact, when the movie premiered last week all hell broke loose on Twitter and the negative criticism Lindsay got may even have been the cause for her recent fight in a NYC nightclub, which resulted in Lindsay being arrested and charged with yet another crime (she’s up to four now). All this drama over Liz &Dick, and I still haven’t really felt the pull to watch the damn movie! Until now, that is. Major shouts-out to PITNBR Joanna, who suggested that we induct this video into our That-Ish-Cray Of The Day hall of madness. Danielle Fishel is coming back in a big way, in the upcoming Boy Meets World spinoff, Girl Meets World. But first, she’s in this clip from The Soup playing Lindsay Lohan… playing Elizabeth Taylor (Lindsabeth?), and it’s amazing! Seriously, peep the video! It’s Linsanity, on a whole ‘nother level.

Now, I gotta watch Liz & Dick.

Watch: Jeremy Renner Hilariously Spoofs ‘The Avengers’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’

Earth's Mightiest Heroes?
Posted by: Trent on November 18, 2012| 3 Comments
"You just got quipped"

Last night Jeremy Renner hosted Saturday Night Live and altho the episode wasn’t the funniest ep ever, it wasn’t all that terribly bad. Many of the skits were passable as comedy but the mid-show spoof of The Avengers turned out to be pretty damn funny. Renner, as you should know, plays the superhero Hawkeye in The Avengers and he reprises that role hilariously in this SNL spoof of the film. Actually, all of the SNL players’ portrayals of The Avengers superheros are, IMHO, pretty damn funny. Check out the skit above to see for yourselves. It’s kinda funny, yeah?

First Look: ‘Brandsky’ Is Poking Fun At Banksy Street Art

Funny... Or Hella Disrespectful?
Posted by: Shannon on August 18, 2012| 3 Comments
View the Gallery / 9 Photos »

As many of you know, Banksy is a street artist that has a certain anti-establishment attitude about himself and his work. Recently we saw what he and some other artists came up with in response to the London 2012 Olympics and the movement to destroy local street art in the name of the games. Well someone has come along and gotten a little tongue-in-cheek with the king of all artsy tongue-in-cheekiness. Brandsky takes well-known Banksy images and ‘brands’ them with their applicable corporate logos (Brand + Banksy = Brandsky). Now y’all know I have a pretty open sense of humor and I love a good parody, but this one kinda got to me! Maybe I’m a little less open when it comes to artwork, and an artist’s message, lol. But peep the photos in the gallery and tell me what you think. Is it amusing to see Banksy‘s graffitti messages get, well, graffittied?

#YesThat’sAMade-UpWord

Okay, there’s one that really is funny. It’s got the Venus logo. LMAO.

Watch: This ‘Fight Club’/Meatloaf Mash-Up Makes So Much Sense

That-Ish-Cray Of The Day
Posted by: Shannon on August 17, 2012| Leave a comment
Anything For Lurve

Every movie is, in some way or another, a love story. Goodfellas is a love story. The Dark Knight Rises is a love story. And Fight Club– yes, Fight Club– is a love story. YouTuber Blastphamy2 decided to explore this notion further back in 2009. His brilliant re-edit of Brad Pitt and Edward Norton‘s 1999 cult classic Fight Club is just now going viral, and aren’t we the lucky ones? The video is part love story, part domestic violence PSA but, it’s all-parts funny. And then there’s the Meatloaf factor. You know you love Meatloaf. Enjoy!

Watch: The Jersey Shore Cast Talks Politics

GTL Has A Whole 'Nother Meaning
Posted by: Shannon on August 12, 2012| Leave a comment
Vote Or Die Laughing

Who knew Ronnie wrote the book on Duverger? Who knows who Duverger is? Apparently, Ronnie, Vinny, and the rest of The Jersey Shore cast know, like, eight more things than we might have thought. In this HBO Funny Or Die sketch (written by Aaron Sorkin, the creator of The Newsroom) they talk politics, voting trends, and yes, Duverger’s Law. I always knew these guys had a deep side; after careful watching I’ve seen it come out in small, almost unnoticeable, drunken spurts. Checkie out!

Watch: This ‘Taken’ Parody Replaces Liam Neeson With A ‘Real Dad’

That-Ish-Cray Of The Day
Posted by: Shannon on August 5, 2012| Leave a comment
Fall Back, Liam Neeson.

I’d like to think that when we all saw the movie Taken we imagined, if only for a moment, that our Dads– all Dads– were just like Liam Neeson. Brilliant, daring inventors of all things loving and bad-ass. Alas, that’s what the movies are about–creating pure fantasy, or at least hyper-dramatic realities. At any rate, this hilarious parody is for all the Dads who aren’t Liam Neeson‘s character and super-Dad, Bryan Mills. Cause you know what? Normal Dads can get the job done too! Sort of…

Watch Now: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, And Other Celeb Men Read ’50 Shades Of Grey’

Run, Don't Walk!

Which One Should Play Anastasia?

Okay, this is it. This is the last post I will write on 50 Shades Of Grey without having read the actual book. LOL. I finally have the book up in the next tab over and I’ve officially read the first page and a half. No comment yet… Okay, one comment: I absolutely don’t hate it. Although I think I’ve been much influenced by this video of Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis reading an excerpt in their impromptu, faux audition for the 50 Shades Of Grey movie. It was so freaking hilarious and I don’t even get the joke entirely. So I’m reading it today/now, if only so that I may watch this video and enjoy it all-the-more tomorrow.

But the very best part of the clip is that The Stir posted it, and then linked another video of Pro Baseball Players reading the book. Which got me thinking, I should probably find as many videos as possible of other men reading it. And by other men I mean Gilbert Gottfried. Checkie out inside. And… you’re welcome.
