Gotta love The Real World:
Weekly Schrutism: Classics (2/27/09)
"A 30-year mortgage at Michael's age essentially means that he's buying a coffin. If I were buying my coffin, I would get one with thicker walls so you couldn't hear the other dead people."
- From "Office Olympics" (Season 2, Episode 3)

Trailer of the Week: Wolverine
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Pretty much goes without saying that Hugh Jackman is the man... Hopefully this movie comes somewhere close to being as good as the comic it's based on:

Good News...

According to Entertainment Weekly, Andy Richter is gonna drop whatever the hell he's been doing and get down with Conan on the new Tonight Show. Thank you, NBC!
In even better news:

The White Stripes... On Late Night With Conan O'Brien
Monday, February 23, 2009
It would've been wrong for anyone else to close out Conan's last Late Night:
Cup of Soup: Magical
Sunday, February 22, 2009
I consider the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" to be one of the best songs of all time. This, however, is just absolutely unbearable:

"In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, 'Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me. I'm dead.' Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion. You're dead."
- From "Health Care" (Season 1, Episode 3)
Effed Up: When Chimps Go Ape

This is Travis. He enjoys leisurely strolls, surfing the net, an occasional glass of wine, and bludgeoning elderly women.
Apparently, he's also quite the thespian:

Awkward...

Last night, American Idol was just short of a flaming disaster. The judges were weird, the little sit-downs were worse, and 2/3 of the contestants were either not very good or just plain awful. Oh yeah, and this happened:
Track of the Week: KanYe West's "Welcome to Heartbreak"
One of my favorite tracks from one of the best albums of 2008. The new video was made using a technique called "data moshing." Pretty cool stuff:
The Potty Dance & Conan's Last Week
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
I'd like to meet the mastermind behind this:
Also, this is Conan O'Brien's last week hosting Late Night before taking over The Tonight Show. Conan's always been my favorite late night host; I still remember watching his first show with my dad when I was about 12 years old...
Over the past few weeks, they've been replaying some of Conan's best bits, and last night they played excerpts from his dinner with an associate producer. Conan gets more funny as the clip progresses (and as his wine glass gets less full). Here's hoping the Late Night crew can translate its awesomeness to an earlier time slot:
"W" 7th Worst... For Now
Monday, February 16, 2009
C-Span conducted a survey of 65 historians for a President's Day list, which ranks all 42 former presidents from best to worst. You can see the entire list here.It's way too early to tell where George W. is going to settle in at, but my guess is it definitely won't be 36th. His legacy probably won't be determined until at least the end of Obama's (possibly) first term, and it'll probably take longer. Only time will tell how favorably (or unfavorably) history looks back on his presidency, but I'm honestly surprised he's ranked as highly as he is at this point. I'm also shocked that he was actually ranked behind the guy (Hoover) that did absolutely nothing when the stock market crashed and the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 25% at the onset of the Great Depression.
In a totally unsurprising move, the surveyed historians ranked Abraham Lincoln as America's greatest president. Ironically, his term was sandwiched between those of the two presidents ranked at the very bottom of the list. Will G.W. Bush be the Buchanan to Obama's Lincoln? I guess we'll see...
Entertainment Weekly also posted a list of the ten greatest TV/Movie presidents of all time. Anybody else wonder where we'd be if 24's David Palmer was running the show the last eight years?Joaquin Phoenix Has Derailed

...or maybe he hasn't. Either way, here it is, in case you missed it:
Also, this is pretty funny:

Reading might actually be overrated.
Weekly Schrutism: "Lecture Circuit: Part 2"
Dwight Schrute: You have to write my suggestions down, too.
Jim Halpert: I'm not writing "horse hunt." I don't even know what that means.
Dwight Schrute: It's in the name!
Jim Halpert: Ok... So far, our ideal party consists of beer, fights to the death, cupcakes, blood pudding, blood, touch football, mating, raids, and yes, horse hunting.
Dwight Schrute: You're right, forget horse hunting. It's stupid.

Definitely liking Zachary Quinto as Spock; we'll see about this guy they've got playing Captain Kirk:
TV on the Radio... on the Colbert Report
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
For whatever reason, TVOTR had a really rough performance on SNL this past weekend. If you missed it, you can check it out here (do so at your own risk, it's pretty bad). Fortunately they got another shot at it last night on the Colbert Report, and pretty much blew the roof off the place:
2009 Grammys: Two Thumbs Up-ish
Monday, February 9, 2009
The minds behind the Grammy Awards seem to be figuring things out... sort of. They still couldn't find it in themselves to give a major award to anyone or anything that actually matters, but at least they put on a good show this year.Some of the better performances:Al Green, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, and Boyz II Men "Let's Stay Together"
Radiohead featuring the USC Marching Band "15 Step"
Chris Martin featuring Jay - Z/Coldplay "Lost"/"Viva la Vida"
KanYe West & Estelle "American Boy"
Paul McCartney featuring Dave Grohl "I Saw Her Standing There"

Supposedly, we're gonna get more robots and less people this time. Let's hope that isn't just a rumor.

Weekly Schrutism: "Stress Relief"
Monday, February 2, 2009
Dwight: Ok, everyone. I'm going to need you to sign this statement of regret, as an acknowledgment you heard it, ok? Everyone come on up here; it's not a big deal. Phyllis: It is a big deal. You almost killed Stanley.
Dwight: Yeah. Right. I filled him full of butter and sugar for fifty years and forced him not to exercise.

Super Bowl XLIII: The Commercials
Amidst the breathtaking highs and, ultimately, the soul-crushing lows of last night's game, the NFL and NBC tried to sell us stuff. Honestly, I thought the commercials were just ok this year.
Top 5:

Also, these were terrible:
