Portlandia, the IFC sketch comedy series starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, premieres tonight and this is great news for the Internet, mankind, and fans of really strange, niche hipster-mocking comedy. (Oh, cacao, Oregon – they mock with love!) To celebrate its premiere, here are some of my personal favorite scenes that aren’t “Put a…
I am, unsurprisingly, not a sports guy (Corporate, money-driven circlejerks just ain’t my thing). We did record the Super Bowl, however, to see Bruno Mars and the Chili Peppers, and thankfully, we ended up catching some of the 24 teasers, which included this super-amazing-mindblowing-badass commercial with none other than Kiefer Sutherland himself and Mary Lynn Rajskub.…
This Girls parody entitled Cats reminds us of how truly amazing, hilarious and terrible Girls is all at the same time. Because usually, this is exactly how stupid Hannah and her friends sound like episode to episode. Oh, but I suppose young twenty-somethings can be endearing sometimes and that’s why we keep watching it, yeah?…
Sarah Manning, a con artist and thief, returns home after 10 months of thuggery to find a woman on a train platform who looks like her. Exactly like her. The woman then takes an abrupt leap off the platform in front of an oncoming train, killing herself. Sarah scoops up the woman’s purse and ID,…
When House of Cards debuted on Netflix in February of this year, it took me all of two episodes before I full-on fan-boy’d out. The Washington D.C.-set political thriller was morally deplorable, undulating with shocking twists and sensational performances. Needless to say, TLW is eagerly anticipating Season Two’s debut. From the two-minute trailer below, Frank…
(Spoilers from last night’s episode abound! You’ve been warned.) For 27 seasons Survivor has graced our TV screens with starving castaways, shocking blindsides and that charming, stud of a host Jeff Probst. As a fan who has watched from the beginning, I often get a lot of: “That show is still on!?” and “I haven’t…
All I have to say is: YES.
I don’t even know how to set this up, but I’ll try. OK, so Björk got a TV and watched it too much and became hypnotized by it. Then she opens it up for us and explains how a TV is like a city, somehow? Then she becomes afraid of the TV…but it’s OK because she…
Fans of popular culture usually show off their fandom in many ways: tattoos, art, pets’ names, original songs, cakes, etc. And since this is the Internet, land of the weird and home of the macabre, I’m sure there are far scarier examples of that floating around. But Dave Nelson is doing something completely different…something that…
OK, so maybe it’s only breathtaking if you’re a Cheers fan, but look at this kid! I don’t know who he is, but he hit it out of the park with this one. He’s not even a character from the show – he’s the cartoon-guy-man from the opening credits! Sheer brilliance. Put this guy in…
