Hopefully anybody who's tempted to watch this for actual advice watches all the way through first, rather than just follow along.
Remember when Valentine's Day was awesome? You spent all day gluing construction paper to a shoe box, for the sole purpose of having people stuff it with cheap candy and cards from the pharmacy. Now it's just Someecards on Facebook and the orange creams are all that's left in the Whitman's sampler in the office kitchen.
Here are some of those cards you maybe used to get in your shoebox, if the teacher was too depressed to make you make your own Valentines. Happy Valentine's Day.
To quote a friend, "1980s Steve Guttenberg: If Bill Murray can't do it, Gutt's your man." Let's take a moment to reflect on everyone's favorite '80s nice guy. A man who was described by Playgirl as "Cute, Cuddly (And Single!)." A man who needs no introduction, but if you do need an introduction you should probably watch this embarrassing video. A man who looks great in a silver wetsuit. Steve Guttenberg. The man, the myth, the star of 'Police Academy,' 'Short Circuit,' '3 Men and a Baby' and pretty much every movie that mattered between the years of 1982 to 1991. Need more proof? Get your Gutt on below.
It's the biggest sporting event of the year, and the ads of Super Bowl 2013 are living up to their expectations. Thank goodness, because the amount of money spent on Super Bowl commercials makes it really disappointing when they're not good
In case all those photos of random strangers with leaf blowers pointed at their face we shared didn't satisfy your hankering for people with scary mouths, here's video of Anderson Cooper doing it on his show.
If you were wondering what it takes to beat 'Gangnam Style' for the best viral video of 2012, it's pretty obvious the answer is lots of booze.
'Bohemian Rhapsody -- Under Arrest' managed to come out on top in this year's contest, ahead of such internet faves as 'Call Me Maybe' and 'Overly Attached Girlfriend,' for the title of best viral video of 2012. (He beat 'Gangnam Style' by 27%.) Maybe that's because Robert Wilkinson, the man behind the video, has an awesome singing voice.
We sat through this whole thing video of a high-speed police pursuit in Inglewood, Calif., waiting for something horrible to happen, because it's the internet. Magically, nothing horrible does happen
2013 looks to be a good year for Super Bowl commercials, assuming you like topless women, Doritos or 'Gangnam Style.' And if you don't like any of those things, are you sure you're actually human and not a goldfish that learned how to use a computer? Brace yourself, you snobby goldfish, because Psy is doing a pistachio commercial. It is going to be awesome.
It's that time of year, when you give everybody who coughs on the train a dirty look and tie your hands to your waist with elastic to keep from accidentally touching your face until you've had a chance to wash them under soap and water for at least three minutes. That's right. It's flu season. Here are some tips for coming out on the other side okay.
Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to shut him up, as we now know, thanks to this video of him trying to scream through the duct tape over his mouth.
This guy definitely went to a lot of trouble to propose to his girlfriend. He wrote a song, made a music video, flew her to Australia and arranged to have it played at the end of another video at a giant party with all of his friends. Sincerely, how would you say no to that?
Chicago Tribune photographer Amanda Kaschube snapped this picture of Bulls point guard Derrick Rose peeking from behind a pillar after a game in Miami last week. Chicago Side Sports looked at it and saw real potential for yuk yuks, so they made a couple funny pictures out of it in Photoshop. Then they opened it up to their readership, and things really got crazy. Check it out the Peekaboo Derrick Rose meme below.
