The Grand Finale

A scene from the recent season of Metalocalypse.

Penn and Teller have been around for what, 20, 25 years? I’ve always found them entertaining, particularly Penn’s interviews.

Now Penn is doing a video blog on Crackle.com, and if you like the guy, they’re worth a listen.

Here’s his take on New York and San Francisco — the 2 most pompous cities in the world.

Here’s one way to spend 40 minutes:

Peep Show season 5, episode 3: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. New personal lows for the boys.

And the latest episode of Metalocalypse is up on Adult Swim for the next 6 days. Don’t bother clicking the link after May, 23rd. The episode is called Dethwedding. Pickles must attend his degenerate brother’s wedding, much to the amusement of the rest of the band.

The Maria Bamford show has drawn to a close (or so the site says). Looks like she’s raised enough money and courage to leave her parents attic in Minnesota and head back to LA. Throughout the show Maria explored the depths of her own metal illness and psychoses through comic skits about her relationships with various family, friends and other folks she encounters (she plays all the characters). Aside from making me laugh, the show helped me put my own moments of sadness into perspective, and well as achieve sympathy for my friends who struggle with legitimate psychiatric issues.

Dark was that best episode. Watch them all if you dare (or just skip to the best one):

I Am Baby Cakes might be the worst animated cartoon ever created, but it’s funny, and insane, and that counts for a lot. The show is moving to Adult Swim renamed as China Illinois.

Here’s the web series, make sure you watch episode 2 at least:

This is a commercial for something:

Of course it reminds me of the Taco Bell Chihuahua, whose hypnotic charms caused me to go from a reasonably fit 235 pounds (I’m a big boy) to 283 in a few years.

I say bring the Taco Bell Chihuahua back along with Spuds McKenzie. In fact, my new policy is not to consume any name brand food or drink unless it is marketed using a funny dog.

Time for some Powdered toast then:

The new and final season of Battlestar Galactica starts in about a month. If you’ve never seen an episode or if you have memory issues, here’s the official summary of the previous seasons in 8 minutes. Even if you have seen every episode, the summary in entertaining.

Paper without corners. Ha!

Here’s a clever video where everyone at a party represents a popular website (Google, Digg, etc). The punchline is not safe for work, so you can watch this a home. Internet Party.

I’m glad I’m not the only person to notice that Cracked.com articles seem to land on the Digg.com homepage more often than other sites.
