Anybody else have OSCAR FEVER?! It’s hard to sit still, right? I just can’t wait to find out once and for all who WORE IT BETTER! What a wonderful night of pageantry and high art. I think my favorite thing about the Oscars is how important they are. It’s just a tradition that has never been scared of making the difficult choice as long as it meant rewarding the people who most deserved it for their important advancement of the cinematic arts. It’s just a sacred night, and we are all incredibly lucky to have it. (On that note: don’t forget to turn in your sacred and incredibly lucky Videogum Oscar Pool ballot.)
So, as you may have noticed, due to a weird technical difficulties with the Lawmnower Man today, all of the commenting scores have disappeared. I’ve been assured that they are around somewhere, and will be back up soon, but they aren’t back up yet, and that means it’s basically impossible to determine which of them are fundamentally BETTER or WORSE than others. Which means this week’s Monsters’ Ball is a freeform Monster Jam. Feel free to compliment each other on a job well done. Theoretically you could also criticize each other for comments that you didn’t like, but that seems kind of pointless and cruel. Why are you guys doing that? Stop doing that! They are just Internet comments!
Good week, everyone. See you Sunday night!

Can we do a Monsters’ Ball Pool?
I’m betting on Notsewfast showing everyone else up again
Not so fast, Capu Flapu.
Was anyone else sent to last weeks Monster’s Ball?
yes, many times. endless loop…so cold, so very cold.
Agreed. I’ve been sadly inactive this week but I’m sure Notsewfast wins the gold. Bravo!
SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this mean I can pretend I’ve won???
We’re all winners! Everyone gets a Participation trophy and a Precioustini! Virginprecioustinis for the under-21 Monsters/under-18s in Canada.
What is this communistgum?
Socialistgum. I believe in everyone’s right to have enough money to buy liquor to make their own drinks.
are those precioustinis based on the novel by sapphire?
That’s nice, but it kind of makes me feel like I’m going to the Monster’s Ball with my cousin.
Good job this week everyone!
What was that about making fun of Youtube for their beta CC Videogum?
Man it’s embarrassing when there are new features and things don’t work right?
Just Kidding
This is a metaphor for something
Aww… He keeps trying and gets the same sad, sad result. Stay away from that wheel, little gerbil!
Wow – the gums is doing some crazy stuff today. A refresh on this page earned me a 404 error. Neat!
LET’S TRY AND COOL DOWN EVERYONE!
Big fan of this comment. Hard for me to keep my cool, though. Hope it wins the Videogum equivalent of an Osc[illato]ar (huh?!)
That play-on-words should win a Gramm[ar]y!
I’m just gonna let you all know now. I am this week’s monsters ball queen. I think I got like two upvotes on some Topher Grace comment the other day.
No one wins when everybody wins. Hasn’t America taught us anything?!
no to the shit. have a great weekend monsters! see you on sunday?
WHEN you ENSHRINE MEDIOCRITY, all shrines ARE RAZED!
I must disagree. Everyone wins when no one wins.
#oppositevideogumcomments
we all seem to suffer from some kind of monster-anxiety-disorder. group hug, guys.
Videogum is the hottest party jam top to bottom.
This week I had a +96 and a -76, so I’m a little mad that it got erased. Also, I already had the perfect gif to post if I made it to the Monster’s Ball, so I’m just going to use it anyways.
… Alright I’m done.
But commenting on the Monster’s Ball’s just as good as being on it… Right?
I was unaware that Mr. Hausfrau was on Glee.
i was unaware that you are so tasty….sparkly cupcake face.
Not gonna lie, this one makes me vomit in my mouth a little.
Wow, people REALLY hate my gifs, especially the one of Schue.:(
I’m actually pretty indignant for you. I was vicariously living through your double triumph. VideoGum you owe this monster the accolades he deserves!
You’re still #1 in my heart PA!
finally!
THIS IS WONDERFUL AND GREAT!
You get two tickle lover loris arms up!!! I love!
Yay I won!
You guys did too
Oh man, I would be so mad right now if I’d gotten 253 votes on something this week. SO MAD.
Dude, yes. Personally, I feel like I picked a great week to be slack. Saved by the bell?
SO Topher WINS?
“Why can’t you do that? I’d love you more if you could shoot pool with me.”
- Me, to my dog just now
I’m gonna be a terrible father.
.gifgum!
This is good news about the votes getting lost. I was a shoe in for lowest rated comment this week. Thank you, Lawnmower Man. Fuck you, Monsters!
Just when you thought it was safe…. votes seem to be back.
If only we had an intern to manually tally the votes and confirm that for this week Mr. Powers is, indeed, Fucking Out.
I apparently MISSED IT, but to BE FAIR, WE all need MULLIGANS.
And Orange Frappachinos!!!!!
What I love is that the blonde wearing green in the backseat is Alexander Skarsgard from True Blood
And you’re missing a Mocha between the Orange and Frappuccinos
PS: Is there a way to correct someone without coming off like a douche?
haha, no you are correct about the orange mocha frappuccinos, and my misspelling of frappuccino correctly points out my inexperience with the beverage. I just love this clip and the fact that badass Eric (skarsgard) is in it. Here is you pointing out my mistakes.
Meekus: Uh, earth to Brint, I was making a joke.
Brint: Uh, Earth to Meekus, duh, okay I knew that!
Meekus: Uh earth to Brint, I’m not so sure you did cuz you were all ‘well I’m sure he’s heard of styling gel’ like you *didn’t* know it was a joke!
Brint: I knew it was a joke Meekus, I just didn’t get it right away!
Meekus: Earth to Brint…
Derek Zoolander: Would you guys stop it already?
Be careful! Too many orange mocha frappuccinos could lead to this!
(You’ve insprired me to make my first gif!)
Success! Might as well finish up the scene…
“It’s fabulous darling”
I’m having a Monsters’ Ball!
OOOOH MILK AND COFFEE WHO WOULDA THOUGHT?? MILK AND COFEE
What a drink.
so, i don’t really watch this show. but this .gif alone is making me want to start. amazing.
I thought everyone had decided to repeat every single one of their comments from the last Monster’s Ball into the new Monster’s Ball as some sort of postmodern commentary and upvoted all of them. Soooo…good job everyone else.
Man.. I was so excited all week. I thought I would finally make it onto a Monster’s Ball
The real Charles Bukowski would be far too drunk to care!
I’ve grown up since my death.
Besides, I’ve always been concerned with my own success.
It’s SO GOOD to be back after countless trips to the hospital since Thanksgiving! I like this format much better, but I can’t seem to figure out the gravatar thingy. Is that some sort of conspiracy?
I totally had done a comment that got a LOT of votes. Like……..500 up votes. Yeah, that’s the ticket! Yeah, I got 550 up votes! Yeah! And I celebrated with President Obama! Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Man, I went on this late last night drunk as hell and I was HIGHLY confused by the absence of winners and losers. My week lacks closure.
