sorry asians, you aren’t the world
written by eric on 08/20/08 1 comment


these japanese people do a pretty great job of impersonating all the really big names from “we are the world,” but come on rice eaters, are your big ol’ brains so busy doing math that you can’t figure out the real charm of this 80’s classic are all the random non-singers thrown into the mix?

where’s oriental dan aykroyd, guys? until I see a slant eyed ghostbuster, I’m declaring this video a bigger disaster since the last time one of you drove on the freeway!  ~high five me!~

nintendo cereal: a video game you can eat?!
written by eric on 08/12/08 3 comments


if you were popular in the 80’s then two things would inevitably
happen. 1.) you’d become a breakfast cereal. 2.) you’d become a
nintendo game. given those two facts. was there any ever doubt that
this would happen…

the nintendo cereal system wasn’t just a meal — it was a full fledged
video game playing break-stravaganza-fast, magic-licously combining
the awesomeness of sugar-based cereal and the awesomeness of nintendo.
with the nintendo cereal system you were playing your breakfast and
eating your nintendo!

i just hope the marshmallows aren’t in another fucking castle.

TGIF - urkel vs. carlton?!
written by eric on 08/08/08 6 comments


gonna have some fun, show you how it’s done - TGIF!

who would win in a dance-off between carlton banks and steve urkel?

“the real winner is the fans, of course”
<—wrong! wrong! wrong!

the competition would tear the nation apart!

if you thought biggie vs. tupac was bad, this would be the final nail in the coffin.
full. fledged. race. war.

TGIF - the crossover paradox
written by geoffrey on 08/01/08 leave a comment


(jump ahead to :31 for the good stuff.  the intro sucks balls!)

gonna have some fun, show you how it’s done - TGIF!

here’s an illustrated, word for word reading of an actual wikipedia page (an old version), discussing the crossover between three TGIF shows — step by step, family matters and full house — and the resulting paradox it creates.  get ready to have your mind blown out your ass!
