WATCH THIS 2/28/2012
Much like the rest of the world, we like big round numbers. Like one thousand, that’s a really nice number. So nice it’s almost kind of attractive in a sexual way - but that’s a topic for another day. Today’s topic is that The Colbert Report, our beloved home for gleefully random political satire, is celebrating its 1000th episode this very evening at 11:30PM ET on Comedy Central. Watch and see what wonderful festivities Stephen has planned. I personally hope he battles a minotaur again.

NEWS DUMP 2/1/2012


Suck my news and kiss my dump, everyone.

  • As you may have gleaned from the above video,Eastbound & Downis coming back on February 19th, and is bringing Jason Sudeikis along for the ride. The humor of Kenny fucking Powers is an acquired taste (one that tastes like hooker spit and 8-balls), but for those who buy into Danny McBride’s John Rockeresque pitcher, this season looks as good as ever.
  • Stephen Colbert’s Super PAC raised over a million bucks. That seems like an unbelievable figure for a comedian to raise, but I refuse to be impressed by any monetary statistic after learning Transformers 3 made over a billion dollars.
  • Last night’s episode of New Girl directly addressed the unending dialogue surrounding Zooey Deschanel’s “manic pixie dreamgirl” status by pitting a pantsuited Lizzie Caplan against her. I stopped watching the show awhile back, but happened to catch this one, and was impressed. I may have to add that show back to the Watch This feature, at least until Caplan’s 3-episode guest stint finishes up.

News Dump 1/6/2012

What up dudes. I almost wrote the date wrong on this post, which would have undoubtedly opened an interstellar wormhole transporting us back to last year. Close call.

  • Looks like Dan Harmon is a fan of The Shining, and is almost as crazy as Jack Torrance. The actual article is kind of self-serving (it claims blogs like us are what drives Community, which would be cool, but we don’t really buy), but the photo is priceless.
  • If you have 15 minutes to spare, you could either watch 80% of a Modern Family episode, or you could read this amazing article about the many faces of Stephen Colbert. I’d suggest the latter, because Modern Family wasn’t very good this season week.
  • Ricky Gervais has apparently decided that jokes will not be a necessary while hosting the Golden Globes this month. This is either going to succeed beautifully, or make every last person in America hate Ricky. There is no in between (kind of like his arguments about atheism).
  • And finally, everyone’s favorite reality show from 4 seasons ago when it still had the novelty factor Jersey Shore returned for a fifth season last night. We’ve moved beyond watching it, but luckily the very funny Julianne Smolinski (aka Boobs Radley) has not, and provided a recap we imagine was way funnier than the show.
